This Week's Interesting Music Releases (August 18th, 2009)
Richard Thompson's Walking on a Wire is in stores tomorrow. The career-spanning box set includes songs from his Fairport Convention Days, his albums with Linda Thompson, and his solo work.
Mid-summer means the music release list is a bit short, but quality music abounds this week. I can definitely recommend Brendan Benson's My Old, Familiar Friend, The Cave Singers' Welcome Joy, Choir of Young Believers' This Is For The White In Your Eyes, Mount Eerie's Wind's Poem, The Temper Trap's Conditions, and Ramona Falls' Intuit.
My favorite release of the week is (not surprisingly), Destroyer's Bay of Pigs EP.
My favorite Flaming Lips album, The Soft Bulletin, is reissued this week in a 2-LP and CD edition. Other reissues of note include four Musie vinyl albums (Muse: Absolution,, Muse: Black Holes and Revelations, Muse: Origin of Symmetry, and Muse: Showbiz) and The Antlers' Hospice.
If you are already looking to fill your Christmas mix CD, Stockings By the Fire (reissue) has also been reissued, and contains holiday songs by The Bird and the Bee, Hem, Aimee Mann, and others.
What new music can you recommend this week? What's on your shopping list? Have I left any interesting releases off the list?
