This week's top five new releases
Tue Oct 20 2009
Editor's note: We received a complaint last week that our weekly release wrap-up doesn't include jazz releases. For better or for worse, this list is one person's impression of what's important on the (mostly) pop, rock and hip-hop release landscape. Please continue to recommend other releases via the comments.
1. Fuck Buttons Tarot Sport The British electronic duo releases another brilliant collection of songs.
2. Sufjan Stevens The BQE The extremely talented musician releases his semiclassical opus about the expressway. Read a recent show preview on him here, and listen here.
3. Clare and the Reasons Arrow Local couple Clare and Olivier Manchon make orchestral pop sound intimate but not small. Read our preview on the group's CMJ show here and listen here.
4. Atlas Sound Logos Bradford Cox continues to be almost endlessly prolific with another effort from this non-Deerhunter project.
5. Alec Ounsworth Mo Beauty The Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman releases a solo debut.
For the rest of this week's output, head to Largehearted Boy.
