{{{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.

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. [more

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

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 - 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. [more

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? [more

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

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.
