We’re gettin’ back in the swing here after a couple lean holiday weeks. We’ve got some modern-day experimental goodness from TORTOISE, the new TY SEGALL has arrived, former Crooked Still leader AOIFE O’DONOVAN is doing her indie-folk-noir thing, and Matador Records has unleashed the SAVAGES.
NEW GOODIES
TORTOISE, Catastrophist (CD/LP)
Post-rock quintet’s first album in seven years!
AOIFE O’DONOVAN, In The Magic Hour (CD/2xCD/LP)
Former Crooked Still singer does dark Celtic folk up right, aided by Chris Thile, Gabriel Kahane, the Brooklyn Rider string quartet and many more. Special Deluxe CD edition includes six bonus tracks!
TY SEGALL, Emotional Mugger (CD/LP)\
Has the most productive indie-rock jack-of-all-trades of the last decade really not put out anything for a year?
JESU/SUN KIL MOON, Jesu Sun Kil Moon (CD)
Much-anticipated collabo album melds experimental music with indie-folk.
SAVAGES, Adore Life (CD/LP)
Matador Records serves us up a slice of indie post-punk revival heaven.
