Hitting The Racks
Here's your weekly rundown of the new releases hitting the racks at Grimey's. You'd think the labels might take it easy the week of Record Store Day. But no... Here is this week's action-packed slate of hotness: Flaming Lips - The Terror CD/2xLP (WB) The Terror was produced by the band s long-time collaborator Dave Fridmann and The Flaming Lips at Tarbox Road Studios. It is comprised of nine original compositions that reflect a darker-hued spectrum than previous works, along with a more inward-looking lyrical perspective than one might expect but then again, maybe not.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito CD (Interscope)
After being out of the game for four years, NYC gang Yeah Yeah Yeahs have returned with their fourth LP, Mosquito. The New Yorkers have teamed up with a myriad of collaborators on their latest output, ranging from Dr Octagon, James Murphy, Dave Sitek and Nick Launay and with these varied contributors comes a veritable buffet of audio morsels. The album has been labeled as YYYs "soul' record however there are also touches on roots reggae and flashes of abstract electronica. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe adds four bonus tracks. Iron & Wine - Ghost On Ghost CD/LP+CD (Nonesuch) For Ghost On Ghost, Sam Beam sought to move from what he called the "anxious tension" of his two previous records. "This record felt like a reward to myself after the way I went about making the last few," he says. "As eerie Americana has given way to widescreen folk-rock, Ghost On Ghost finds Iron & Wine backed by Bob Dylan's musicians and drawing softly but deeply on a well of American traditionalism stretching from Simon & Garfunkel to The Beach Boys, with unlikely funk and jazz embellishments along the way." - The Guardian Steve Earle & The Dukes (& Duchesses) - The Low Highway CD/LP (New West) The Low Highway features his live band and was co-produced by Earle and Ray Kennedy (whose production partnership known as the "Twangtrust" was behind Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels On A Gravel Road). Between the opening title track and the reflective closing of "Remember Me," The Low Highway is very much Steve Earle's road record, and one that has seen many miles. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe includes a bonus DVD featuring four performances from Austin City Limits, a mini-documentary on the making of the album, a music video for "Invisible," and 24bit/96khz audio of the album.
Kim Richey - Thorn In My Heart CD/LP (Yep Roc) Kim Richey's Yep Roc debut album is a smart, sensual understatement that may be one of her best. The dozen songs themselves show that Richey's still dreaming up fetching melodies that arc and bend in unexpected ways, and still discovering fresh angles from which to articulate matters of the heart. The array of top-tier guests include Trisha Yearwood, Jason Isbell, Wilco's Pat Sansone, My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, and Will Kimbrough.
Willie Nelson And Family - Let's Face The Music And Dance CD/LP (Sony Legacy) Turning 80, Nelson drops a new album featuring American standards and country classics by Irving Berlin, Carl Perkins, and Django Reinhart, as well as Willie-penned originals. The result is a beautiful, cohesive set songs about love and reflection in Willie's inimitable style.
Meat Puppets - Rat Farm CD/LP (The Royal Potato Family) Curt Kirkwood, the band's singer/guitarist and primary songwriter, described the album as "real blown-up folk music". He elaborated: "I tried to write stuff that would stand on its own - just the chords and the melodies, and play it kind of straight... I think that was the guiding boundary that I gave myself. It was one of those things where a lot of times, in the past especially, [bassist Cris Kirkwood] would go, `Well, that's all there is? Let's put a Prog Rock part in the middle.' But I tried to hold it off as much as I could."
Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge -Twelve Reasons To Die CD/2xCD/LP (Soul Temple) Twelve Reasons To Die is a concept album based on a comic book of the same name. The album was entirely produced and composed by Adrian Younge, and executive produced by RZA. Available in Regular and Deluxe Editions. Deluxe edition includes a bonus CD containing the instrumental version of the album.
Major Lazer - Free The Universe CD (Secretly Canadian) New album from the Diplo-fronted Jamaican music homage features a star studded cast, including: Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Peaches, Wyclef Jean, Bruno Mars, Tyga, as well as Amber of Dirty Projectors and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, and more. Vinyl due 5/14. JJ Grey & Mofro - This River CD/LP (Alligator) This River is chock-full of vibrant characters and compelling stories set to Stax-worthy soul, greasy Southern rock and funk and glorious ballads that stay with you long after the last notes fade. Gutsy vocals, rugged horns and muscular grooves come together to create a down-home musical celebration.
Jonny Fritz - Dad Country CD/LP (ATO) Nashville, TN; January 2013: Nashville songwriter Jonny Fritz's (the artist formerly known as Jonny Corndawg) work ethic and boldness have paid off in spades. It's been a big year for Jonny with opening stints for Alabama Shakes, Deer Tick, Dawes, Shooter Jennings and kudos from CMT and Rolling Stone, among many others. Dad Country has a Nashville sound kept aloft on a sure Southern Californian wind, no doubt from the influence of his backing band: Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, Tay Strathairn and Wylie Gelber of Dawes, and his Nashville band: Spencer Cullum Jr, Joshua Hedley, Taylor Zachry and Jerry Pentecost. Futurebirds - Baba Yaga CD/LP (Fat Possum) The second by Athens, GA band is "a beguiling blend of warmly catchy tunes, stirringly evocative lyrics, distinctive sonic textures and unexpected melodic twists. The music is both intense and uplifting, capturing a good deal of the soaring, primal, sweat-soaked spirit of Futurebirds' live shows, which have already won the group a rabidly devoted fan base and a reputation as a singularly inspired, bravely unpredictable performing unit." - Mercy Lounge Dead Confederate - In The Marrow CD/LP (Spiderbomb) "If Kurt Vile's new album inhabits the sunny side of the art-psych divide, then Dead Confederate's could be its evil twin. The Athens quintet favors claustrophobic, slow-burning numbers that are pregnant with tension and drama, as with the bittersweet organ-driven "Dead Poetry," which boasts what is perhaps the group's most indelible hook to date. The album's explosive and dynamic sweep, and frontman Hardy Morris' falsetto, recall Manchester Orchestra at times." - Creative Loafing Drivin' N' Cryin' - Songs From The Psychedelic Time Clock CD (Almost Loaded) "With jangly fuzz filled guitars, killer harmonies and spacey melodies DNC transports the listeners into the world of classic garage rock. Way before the Strokes, Black Keys, White Stripes or the Mooney Suzuki garnered any success with their low-fi rock there were the13th Floor Elevators, the Pretty Things, The Kinks and The Count Five laying the groundwork. SFPTC is a homage to those bands that laid the groundwork." - The Examiner Fall Out Boy - Save Rock And Roll CD (Universal Republic) They've taken a three-year hiatus, but now Fall Out Boy is back with a newer, harder sound. Guests include 2 Chainz, Courtney Love, and Sir Elton John. Vinyl due 4/23.
The Thermals - Desperate Ground CD/LP+MP3 (Saddle Creek) "Portland trio the Thermals have been cranking out urgent, strident, catchy-as-all-hell pogo-punk anthems for more than a decade now, and recent jams like "Born To Kill" and "The Sunset" show absolutely no signs that they're showing down." - Stereogum Born Ruffians - Birthmarks CD/LP (Yep Roc/Sargent House) The songs on Born Ruffians' third LP, Birthmarks, came out of a dusty living room in an old house, in between chopping wood and building bonfires, playing crokinole at the kitchen table, cooking family dinners and shooting beer cans with a bow and arrow. Built from demos recorded by Luke Lalonde over the course of three years at home, on tour, in Toronto, Montreal, Europe, Australia, anywhere and everywhere. David Grubbs - The Plain Where The Palace Once Stood CD/LP (Drag City) New album David Grubbs, punkademic godfather/singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Squirrel Bait, Bastro and Gastr del Sol. Plain Where The Palace Stood finds him twining together the diverse strands of his vast interests with collaborators Andrea Belfi (drums, electronics) and Stefano Pilia (guitar). Andrew Wyatt - Descender CD (Downtown) Debut solo album from the Miike Snow frontman. Descender is a 32-minute meditation into the darker side of Andrew Wyatt not seen on his latest endeavors with Miike Snow. The album weaves intricate soundscapes and is explored with the use of Prague's Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Adam Klemens. Vinyl due 4/30. Jessie Ware - Devotion CD (Interscope) Domestic edition of Ware's critically acclaimed 2012 debut (which was previously only available overseas) features two new songs "Imagine It Was Us," and a remix of "Wildest Moments" featuring A$AP Rocky. A regular collaborator of SBTRKT, the English singer/songwriter's debut is a unique offering that combines her distinct vocals with electronic pop and dance. Devotion features the hit singles "Running" and "110%." "BNM [8.5]" -- Pitchfork. Vinyl will be available on Record Store Day. Anika - Anika CDEP (Stones Throw) On the heels of her Geoff Barrow-produced debut album, Anika returns with this seductive self-titled EP. Her version of The Kinks' lovelorn classic "I Go To Sleep" leads the EP, which also features brand new covers of songs by The Crystals ("He Hit Me"), Chromatics ("In The City") and Shocking Blue ("Love Buzz") as well as dub versions of previous singles "Yang Yang" and "No One's There" by Bristol producer Ratman.
Spacehog - As It Is On Earth CD (Hog Space) 2013 is the official return of Spacehog as they release their first album in ten years. As It Is On Earth carries forth the profound influences of T Rex, Iggy Pop, Queen, David Bowie & The Spiders, and by colliding these influences with a wall of distorted guitars and the stupendous daring of their lead vocals. The Greyboy Allstars - Inland Empire CD (MRI) Fourth album from the San Diego-based funk/jazz group and their first in six years. Recorded at Elgonix Sound labs and mixed by Grammy Award winning producer/engineer Mickey Petralia (Beck, Peached, Eels, Flight Of The Conchords) Island Empire is a mixture of influences from the five very distinct members of the group. Dead Can Dance - In Concert CD (PIAS) Last year, Dead Can Dance embarked on a world tour behind Anastatis, their first album in 16 years. In Concert is a collection of live tracks taken from their massive trek. Vinyl version due April 30. Beatallica - Abbey Load CD (Oglio) Beatallica return with a vengeance on their third full-length studio album, exploring the question, what would Abbey Road sound like if they were originally recorded by Metallica? This title will arrive by the weekend.
Ghost B.C. - Infestissumam CD (Loma Vista) "The music currently being made by Ghost B.C. is not metal. It borrows heavily from the imagery of metal (specifically occult Satanism) and once in a while throws in a guitar tone that you might also find on a King Diamond record (or a Ke$ha record, or a Meat Loaf record), but what you're hearing here is retro-psychedelia, prog-based pop, Broadway rock. It's not metal!" -- Stereogum. Vinyl will be available on Record Store Day. Blank Realm - Go Easy CD/LP (Fire) "Over the course of five years and more than a dozen releases, Brisbane art-rockers Blank Realm have veered in and out of sonic focus, sometimes going all in for abstract, hiss-smothered synthscapes, sometimes weird, clattering outsider pop, and various places between and beyond. Go Easy is by far their most accessible yet, balancing the arty with the party beautifully to make for a set of danceable, hook-filled songs that bubble and bloom with an almost biological rampancy, shooting out tendrils of strange, snaking melody in every direction like vines enveloping a ruin." - guardian.co.uk
Heavy Hawaii - Goosebumps CD/LP (Art Fag) After a number of releases since forming in 2010, Heavy Hawaii presents their debut full-length album. Goosebumps is an extended journey through floating keyboards, peculiar guitars and lush harmonies. These ten hazy and strange compositions showcase frontman Matt Bahamas's unique take on California life. Houses - A Quiet Darkness CD/LP (Downtown) "Houses weave a tale of longing within its steadily simplistic beats and soft, electronic keyboard, discovering the line between the native and the modified in its second release, A Quiet Darkness. The record tells the story of a husband and wife trying to reunite throughout a nuclear disaster and each song takes place in an abandoned house they've stayed in during their journey to reconnect. There is even sound recorded from actual abandoned houses featured on the album, which gives a unique authenticity to the imaginary dilemma." - dailytarheel.com
Turnover - Magnolia CD (Run For Cover/MRI) For fans of Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate. "The most unusual thing about Virginia Beach pop-punk outfit Turnover is how quickly they've developed a sweet spot in their sound. On the band's debut full-length Magnolia, Turnover have trimmed the fat in the previous incarnation of their sound with near-perfect accuracy. Gone is the grating vocal style and homogenized pop-punk formula present on their self-titled EP, and in its place is more of the band's subdued and darker side." - Sputnik Music
Cyanide Pills - Still Bored CD (Damaged Goods) A storming 17 track punk pop blast dealing with alienation, despair, politics and impotence. There's also a punk rock/geography/history lesson with "Johnny Thunders Lived In Leeds."
Sarah Brightman - Dreamchaser CD (Simha LLC) The first album in six years from the world's biggest selling three-octave soprano. The Casey Donahew Band - Standoff CD (Almost Country/Thirty Tigers) Over the past decade, Burleson, TX native, Casey Donahew, has carved out an impressive niche for himself on the country music scene. Reissues...
Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information/Wings Of Love 2xCD (Sony Legacy) "The son of R&B bandleader Johnny Otis, Shuggie Otis spent his childhood soaking up soul, blues and rock influences. His greatest achievement remains 1974's often-sampled psychedelic soul masterpiece Inspiration Information, here repackaged with an extra disc of pieces recorded since then, which show his abilities undiminished by age." - independent.co.uk Dust - Hard Attack/Dust [Reissue 1971/1972] CD (Sony Legacy) Think the phrase "proto metal," and the usual suspects come to mind -- Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, etc. But only a select few have known that an obscure Brooklyn, New York-based band, Dust, was one of the first stateside bands to crank their amps up to ten and let it rip. David Bowie - Aladdin Sane [40th Anniversary Edition] CD (EMI) Digitally remastered 40th Anniversary edition of Bowie's classic 1973 album. This release has been remastered by Ray Staff at London's AIR Studios. Ray cut the original LP during his time at Trident Studios and has received plaudits for his remastering of the Ziggy Stardust 40th anniversary edition last year. Blind Melon - Blind Melon/Sippin' Time Sessions CD (Capitol) Blind Melon's self-titled 1992 debut album, Blind Melon, featuring the now-iconic 'bee girl' on its cover, has been remastered for the first time and expanded with the band's previously unreleased Sippin' Time Sessions EP. John Coltrane - Sun Ship: The Complete Session 2xCD (Verve) John Coltrane's Sun Ship was one of the last -- and finest -- chapters in the story of his classic quartet. The album profiles the saxophonist in transition, from the secular to the sacred. Deepening his spiritual journey, Trane discovers the sound -- the urgent cry -- that marks his mystique and assures his immortality. But it was released four years after Coltrane's death, in 1971, culled from session tapes by Coltrane's wife Alice. This double-CD set is the result of an extraordinary discovery: the entire session as it was recorded on August 26, 1965, with Trane, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones, with producer Bob Thiele. Joan Baez - Play Me Backwards [Reissue/1992] 2xCD (Razor & Tie) Reissue of Baez's 1992 album, paired with a disc of bonus tracks.

Various Artists - Way To Blue: The Songs Of Nick Drake CD (Story Sound) Nick Drake's original producer, Joe Boyd, put together a series of concerts in the UK, Australia and Italy to celebrate Nick's greatness as a songwriter. The concerts are called Way To Blue and they have involved singers as diverse as Teddy Thompson, Green Gartside (from Scritti Politti), Robyn Hitchcock, Vashti Bunyan and Lisa Hannigan, as well as bass master Danny Thompson (who played on Nick's records), and the arrangements of Robert Kirby. These recordings are the edited highlights of concerts in New York and London. Art Brut - Top Of The Pops 2xCD (The End) Double-disc 'best-of.' Disc One contains the best and most popular songs from their career in chronological order plus two brand new tracks.

The Replacements - Songs For Slim LP+MP3 (New West) Songs For Slim is a fundraiser for former Replacements guitarist Slim Dunlap's medical costs. Members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson reunited and recorded an original Slim Dunlap song plus three additional covers. Original Replacements drummer Chris Mars also recorded a Slim cover and all five tracks were combined on this vinyl-only EP. New West oversold this release and we were one of the (un)lucky stores to get completely shorted. Our order is promised to ship sometime this week. Call to reserve a copy - 615.254.4801. The Strokes - All The Time b/w Fast Animals 7" (RCA) New single lifted from Comedown Machine featuring non-album B-side "Slow Animals." Kings Of Leon - Rarely LP (Sony Legacy) Vinyl-only collection featuring rarities, live tracks and B-Sides from the King's Of Leon's first three albums, hand-picked by the band.

Thee Oh Sees - Floating Coffin LP (Castle Face) "These songs occur in the mindset of a world that's perpetually war-ridden. Overall, it's pretty dark, and much heavier than our other albums" -- John Dwyer. CD version due April 23. This title is en route and will arrive by the weekend. The Avett Brothers - I And Love And You [Reissue/2009] 2xLP (American) Back in print on vinyl!

Steve Martin/Edie Brickell - Love Has Come For You LP (Rounder) Although these new musical partners have already built widely-respected individual bodies of work, their inaugural duo effort is a substantial departure, for both artists. Love Has Come For You features 13 eloquently rootsy Martin/Brickell compositions that combine the former's inventive, expressive five-string banjo work with the latter's heart-tugging vocals and vivid, detail-rich lyrics. Guests include Esperanza Spalding, Waddy Wachtel, Nickel Creek alumni Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins, as well as the Steep Canyon Rangers. CD version due April 23.
Marquis de Tren & Bonny Billy - Solemns LP (Drag City) Vinyl-only three-track EP. The 'Prince' and the Marquis (Mick Turner of Dirty Three) unfurled the scroll together, with Tren Brother Jim White (Dirty Three, Cat Power) rumbling and banging things and playing drums, and the Bonny gang crew of Van Campbell, Emmett Kelly and Angel Olsen added invaluable dimensions to the moments herein.
J Dilla - Anthem/Trucks 12" (Play Jay) First single from Dilla's long lost vocal album, The Diary (which is due sometime this Spring). Clear vinyl. Guided By Voices - Xeno Pariah b/w Little Jimmy The Giant 7" (GBV Inc.) The fourth single from English Little League (album due April 30). B-side "Little Jimmy The Giant" is a garagey reprise of one of the oldest songs ever written by Guided By Voices (included on the first Suitcase compilation, it was originally recorded in 1984).
Guided By Voices - Noble Insect 7" (GBV Inc.) The fifth single from the forthcoming album English Little League (due April 30), "Noble Insect" continues the noble tradition of Pollard writing a song over a Sprout instrumental (see, for example, "Hot Freaks"). In this case, the result is practically Japanese. The flip features jaunty Sprout piano-based shard "Waves of Gray" and a similarly piano-based, though Lennon-raw, Pollard snippet called "See You Soon." We have every reason to believe he means it. This title is en route and will be here by the weekend. Fuzz - Sleigh Ride 7" (In The Red) Fuzz more than lives up to their name with a a sludgy, heavy, psyched-out proto-metal sound that is steeped in shredding fuzztone guitar. Comparisons to Blue Cheer, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Black Sabbath have been made and are not far off the mark. This title is en route and will arrive by the weekend. Bibio - A Tout a l'Heure 7" (Warp) First single from the forthcoming full length Silver Wilkinson (due May 14). Features exclusive B-side "Bequeath." Wild Billy Childish + Chatham Forts - All Our Forts Are With You 7" (Damaged Goods) Another year and another name. This band is a little different to the recent stuff coming from Mr Childish, for a start he's back on lead vocals, the sound is more akin to The Mighty Caesers/Headcoats with even a little of The Pop Rivets in there as well, a slightly angular, new wave approach.
Tenacious D - Tenacious D [12th Anniversary Edition] 2xLP (Epic) Biting, sometimes base satire and humor populates this comedy-rock debut from actor-musician Jack Black and his band, Tenacious D, originally released in 2001 on CD and never-before available domestically on vinyl.
Klaus Dinger - Japandorf LP (Groenland) Although Neu! multi-intrumentalist and onetime Kraftwerk drummer Klaus Dinger passed away in 2008, some of his unreleased late-career work has been slowing seeing the light of day. This is the final installment in a trilogy of unheard album-length excursions helmed by Dinger - who's also made albums as La D�sseldorf - backed by a cast of Japanese experimental musicians. The Grenadines - The Grenadines LP (Communicating Vessels) Recently released on CD - now available on vinyl. Pure dream-drenched rock n roll cut through Southern lens. This title is en route and will be here by the weekend. Ashley Monroe - Like A Rose LP (WB) Recently released on CD - now available on vinyl. Monroe has been creating music for more than half of her life -- attracting along the way kudos from such music world giants as Dolly Parton, Guy Clark, Vince Gill and Jack White. Eric Church - Sinners Like Me LP (Capitol) Vinyl pressing of the 2006 debut album from the country singer/songwriter. This title is en route and will arrive by the weekend.
Rich Ristagno - What It Would Be Like To Be Rich LP (Drag City) Initially intended as an autobiographical release in 1981, What Would It Be Like To Be Rich was to be an autobiographical concept album. Hiring local funk band Soular Flight, Ristagno's angsty delivery mixed with Soular Flight's disco tendencies seemingly anticipates industrial and techno, and reflects contemporaries like The Contortions or DNA. In reality, Ristagno remained blissfully ignorant, and cites influences such as Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, and the perennially influential Beatles.
Xander Harris - New Dark Age Of Love LP (Not Not Fun) From the first shimmering hovercraft tones that kick off album opener "Night Fortress," the growth is glaring; gone is the slasher camp and horror tropes of Urban Gothic, replaced by sleek, streamlined post-industrial cold-wave dystopias. DVDs...
Snoop Lion - Reincarnated DVD (Vice Films) Reincarnated traces the life and career of hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg, as he embarks on a journey of reincarnation of self that is equal parts career reinvention and spiritual reawakening. The close-up documentary, directed by Andy Capper, seamlessly showcases his journey and controversial transformation from hip-hop star to reggae singer while he was recording his forthcoming album Reincarnated (which is due April 23). 120 minutes. Books...
Harmony Korine - A Crackup At The Race Riots (Drag City) Korine's first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art -- but mostly text, including hard luck stories, off-and-on-color jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other missing scenes, exploring the world of showbiz with fingers prying in the cracks and feet set lightly in the black humors of the real world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 
The big day is finally upon us! 3 Days and 14 hours to go! Believe me, we're counting the minutes too. The official
