New Album Releases For Tuesday (4/14/2009)
There weren’t a ton of new releases that knocked me off of my feet. Metric’s album Fantasies is decent; Bill Callahan, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Easy Star All-Stars and Grand Duchy (Franck Black) albums were average.
I’m a sucker for Zeppelin and Hendrix throwback rock ‘n’ roll. Austin-based band Radio Moscow does a fine job replicating the sound. Their album Brain Cycles isn’t breaking new ground, but it rocks. The group reminds me a little bit of White Denim without the experimentation.
Jason Quever is the man behind Papercuts. You may recognize Quever’s name as he is a guest member of Vetiver and Beach House. He’s also produced for Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, Cass McCombs and Donkeys.

What is your opinion on the new Silversun Pickups’? Pretty solid release, I think it picks up where Carnavas left off, which is fine by me.

I’m torn about it. I like it, but I don’t think it’s as good as Carnavas. I didn’t want to comment on it until I listened to it several more times. I really dig Panic Switch, Surrounded, Catch and Release and Growing Old Is Getting Old.

I’m also torn with the new Silversun Pickups, but it’s definitely a solid one the first listen. I was really into “Panic Switch” so it prepared me for a good release. I’m still a big fan of Carnavas, and maybe because it’s the first album for them, but Swoon is well received and stands firm in second place…until the next release.
