Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

editor’s note: 2 things – 1) sorry this post is 2 days late. oops. 2) Largehearted Boy and Chromewaves are good people. I just don’t agree with their opinion of Basia Bulat….

Hot ChipOf the new music releases this week, Basia Bulat’s Oh My Darling is by far my favorite. Her debut album finally gets a US release tomorrow on Rough Trade, thanks to Frank at Chromewaves for not only pointing out this wonderful singer-songwriter, but for also continuing to champion this talented artist.

Other new releases I can recommend include Hot Chip’s Made in the Dark, Dead Meadow’s Old Growth, Jason Collett: Here’s To Being Here, Lightspeed Champion’s Falling off the Lavender Bridge, Nada Surf’s Lucky, School of Language’s Sea from Shore, and Sons & Daughters: This Gift.

If you have small children, consider picking up yet another fine kids album by They Might Be Giants, Here Come The 123s

Interesting reissues include a two-disc remastered edition of Paul Weller’s Wild Wood, which includes one disc filled with demos.

What new releases you picking up this week? What can you recommend? Have I left anything worthwhile off the list?
