{{{Sunset}}}

{{{Sunset}}} - The Glowing City (AutoBus) CD $9.75
Listen:
The World Is Awaiting When Perfect Flames Expire
Saturday Shift: New sojourn from Austin's ex-Sound Team hymnalist Bill Baird. A bit more sunshiny and fully realized than the dreamy, sub-tropical Bright Blue Dream from earlier this year...prolific much? Totally cosmic orch-pop impressionism that brings balance to the force, harmony to the spheres, and Xmas in July; balmy and joyous. Will {{{{Sunset}}} have two albums in my top ten for 2008? Probably. Will they keep the brackets in their name? Hopefully. [more detail]


The 1900s - Everybody's Got A Collection (Parasol) 45 $3.50
Listen:
Everybody's Got A Collection
New this week from Parasol Label Group: Chicago psych-pop troupe The 1900s follow-up their Cold & Kind full-length and their debut EP with this brand new 7" vinyl phonograph single, featuring two non-album tracks: a slightly remixed and remastered version of the jaunty "Everybody's Got A Collection", with the dreamy, noir-ish, never-before-heard "Age of Metals" on the flip. White wax in a black jacket.

Summer Suins
Summer Suns - Greatest (Houseof Wax) CD $12.50
Listen: Thank You Holly Another Carrie Anne
From tough to twee, from garage rock to sweet pop, Aussie combo Summer Suns, led by frontman Kim Williams, made swoon-worthy singles (and albums) until their disbandment in 1996. Finally, 12 years later, they offer up this limited, numbered CD collection of their worldwide vinyl-only output. In addition to Kim (The Holy Rollers) the band has included Dom Mariani (Stems, Someloves, DM3), Joe Algeri (Jack & the Beanstalk, Stonemasons), and plenty more Down Under power-pop glitteratti.

Brazzaville
Brazzaville - 21st Century Girl
(The Bus Stop Label) CD $12.00 On Sale: $11..00
Listen: 21st Century Girl The Clouds In Camarillo
Hailing from Barcelona and led by musically pedigreed expatriate American David Brown, Brazzaville tender an intriguing and sophisticated hybrid of filmic guitar pop and loungy exotica, worldly and wise. Imagine Beck meets Leonard Cohen meets Tindersticks. Get your taste of Brazzaville now and see the band on their US tour this month if they’re in your locale.

Gazelle

Beaujolais - Love At Thirty (Parasol Records)
CD $10.00
On Sale: $9.00
Listen:
Friday The Thirteenth: The Loft Birthday Card
New from Parasol Label Group: Beaujolais is Chicagoan J.A. Ziemba, former frontman for Wolfie and The Like Young. Love At Thirty is Beaujolais’ debut album, an album about personal cataclysm and catalyst, about being wounded and being healed. It also happens to be an incredible pop and garage-rock record, and in our opinion the best songs Joe has ever written. Conceptual. Personal. Monumental. Check out the Love At Thirty release page for a free mp3.

Dead Man

Dead Man - Euphoria (Meteor City) CD $11.00
Listen: High Or Low A Pinch Of Salt
Jim's Pick: Sweet, slowburn, psych-rock jams from shaggy Swedish troupe, the follow-up to their 2006 debut. Dead Man strike camp where the fallow folk-pop foothills meet psychedelia’s purple mountain majesties. Finding common ground with contemporaries like Black Mountain and Elope, with pastoral undulations that will make tie-dyed Deadheads, Zepplin zealots, Iron Butterfly disciples and Floyd fanatics giddy as Syd. Turn on, tune in, drop something.

Sigur Ros

Sigur Ros - Med Sud I Eyrum… (XL) CD $9.25
Listen: Gobbledigook Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
Like the Notwist last week Sigur Ros have traveled a few light years closer to the terrestrial, with a dash of humanity leavening the otherworldliness, 'sunny' is the operative word here, outside a couple epic, glacial ballads. Their elemental folk still inhabits its own special cosmos, indeed. It's lovely. And the Animal Collective comparisons? Maybe "Gobbledigook", just a little bit?

Wooden Shjips

Notwist – The Devil, You + Me (Domino) CD $11.50
Notwist –
The Devil, You + Me (Domino) Deluxe CD $15.50
Listen: Where In The World
A more organic and acoustic endeavor and, dare-we-say-it, stronger? front-to-back than its celebrated predecessor, Neon Golden.
A sweetly melancholy possession/exorcism that trades some of their trademark "Pick Up the Phone" despair for what sounds a lot like hopefulness; while still intimate and personal. Made by humans for other humans, which is nice. [more detail]

vinyl, too

Wooden Shjips

Endless Boogie – Focus Level (No Quarter) CD $13.00
Listen: Smoking Figs In The Yard Bad River
First CD release from hairy NYC foursome; the name says it all. A devoutly unholy gumbo of grimy guitar jams referencing Canned Heat, Creedence, Blue Cheer, The Dead and Hawkwind; sprinkled with Beefheartian guttural utterances, woven into gnarly garage-psych grooves, where southern-fried spacerock climbs aboard thee motorik kozmische. Kick back, smoke figs, enjoy the boogie… Endlessly.
