New Music Tuesday

I don't know about anyone else, but Monday was a struggle. Thank god Tuesday means new releases! This week was unreal. Amazing albums with big tracks. However I'm tired, and can't go into much detail. Here are four tracks I liked of of four different albums.


[EDIT: I went back and wrote a little blurb on each album. Even if you don't read them, they're there.]

Beans - Glass Coffins (Prod. By Tobacco)
Off of the album End It All

Beans - Glass Coffins

Beans comes back hard with his choppy off beat rhymes in "End It All". There's some amazing cameo producer appearances by the likes of DJ Nobody, and Sam Fog of Interpol. 


Other notable songs: 
    + Gluetraps
    + Deathsweater (Prod. by DJ Nobody)

Bright Eyes - Shell Games
Off of the album The People's Key

Bright Eyes - Shell Games

I listened to this whole album through and absolutely loved every minute. The album's release coincided with Connor Oberst's birthday (Happy Belated Connor!), and steers away from their normal folky sound. Oberst said that he wanted this album to "rocking, and for lack of a better term, contemporary, or modern." 


Other notable songs:
     + Ladder song
     + The whole damn album.

P.J. Harvey - Hanging In The Wire
Off of the album Let England Shake

P.J. Harvey - Hanging In The Wire

Very interesting album from P.J. Harvey. This album was actually recorded in a Church in Germany, and was pretty much all recorded live. Great great feel from this album, nice relaxing with vocals reminiscent of the Noise genre type.


Other notable song:
     + title track Let England Shake

Mogwai - Mexican Grand Prix
Off of the album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

Mogwai - Mexican Grand Prix

I wasn't familiar with Mogwai before this album, and now I'm hooked. From Scotland (like a hell of a lot of good acts today), this is an amazing Post Rock/Progressive/Ambient album that is masterfully written. Have a listen and enjoy.


Other notable songs: 
     + White Noise
     + How To Be A Werewold
