2009 album from Johnny Cash's enormously talented singing/songwriting daughter. The List features Rosanne's contemporary interpretations of songs from a list of essential Country songs passed on to her by her legendary father. Featuring duet partners Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, and Jeff Tweedy.

Love 2 is the group's fifth studio album and, whilst being instantly recognizable as an Air record, sees the band exploring some new territories with the help of of L.A.-based drummer/percussionist Joey Waronker.

Sufjan Stevens is proud to present The BQE, a cinematic suite inspired by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Hula-Hoop.

Comes as CD/DVD package.

White Water, White Bloom' is the second full length Sea Wolf album, following 2007's critically acclaimed 'Leaves in the River' featuring 'You're A Wolf'.

Some of their songs reflect the music they listened to a little bit of doo-wop, and artists such as the Shangri-Las, The Shags, Company Flow, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Bobby Vinton, Joy Division, The Andrew Sisters and Daniel Johnston, to name a few. In addition, the artistic aesthetic of old Universal horror films, vaudeville music-hall numbers, and silent-screen melodramas infest the music.

What Will We Be has a sunny, breezy feel with performances that evoke warm, lazy afternoons spent with good friends. The album is dominated by powerfully melodic, mid-tempo numbers played with relaxed expertise. But there's also ambitious stylistic range displayed with the inclusion of evanescent ballads like 'Meet Me At the Lookout Point'and the epic riff-rocker 'Rats'

El Perro Del Mar's third album "Love Is Not Pop" is a conscious step away from 2008's "From The Valley To The Stars." The mindset is darker and the soundscape mysteriously groovy. Thus it is not by chance Sarah Assbring (aka El Perro del Mar) chose to work with Rasmus Hagg, the other half of of the Swedish duo Studio, as a co-producer.

Geneva is a linear, ruthlessly gorgeous album. There's barely a breath between tracks, but there's a rhyme and reason to its every nuance; no tangent is allowed to branch off without careful analysis of where it may lead... The band is never uncertain or ambivalent about their next move... Listen, and become immersed in a master class of timbre and tonal sculpting, classic both in level and scope.

Ephemeral is a clever and concise statement of doom with a twinge of stoner metal thrown in, and seems an appropriate way to debut on Southern Lord after so many twists and turns, the bulk of which have been received in less than glowing terms. But its brevity leaves us wondering what else Pelican has in store.

After a nine year break from releasing albums, the Squirrel Nut Zippers return in 2009 with their first ever live release titled Lost At Sea. For a band that carved out their reputation as the 'hottest band in the hall', it seems fitting that the re-launch of the group will be centered on their strongest suit.

You might find these old friends also frequenting records and stages under different monikers, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Bon Iver. The collaboration predates the meteoric rise of Justin Vernon's Bon Iver project, with original songwriting dating back to the summer of 2005.

"Six" is The Black Heart Procession's first album to be written and recorded simultaneously with a new Three Mile Pilot album. As both bands now coexist for the first time ever, co-conspirators Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel have steered The Black Heart Procession into a darker, more adventurous direction. Six is without a doubt the group's most emotionally resonant album since Three.

CD/DVD set from Internationally acclaimed Gypsy punk powerhouse GOGOL BORDELLO. The CD features six tracks from the band s BBC sessions and the DVD features a full 15-track live set recorded over two nights in NYC at Irving Plaza, plus over an hour of bonus footage including bonus footage of four extra tracks, 4 music videos, and further bonus chronicles.

Govt Mule wildly creative and fearsomely talented rock band lauded by Rolling Stone for successfully bringing the classic power-trio sound of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience into the 21st Century has completed work on By A Thread - their first studio album in 3 years.

It's a strange mixture of modern and old, dark and happy. It's about rape, violence, lost love, suicide, not caring about what other people think of you and most importantly being mad and angelic!

2009 debut album from highly-acclaimed Australian rockers Temper Trap features very polished production, which gives the album a very big sound that compliments the band's pop sensibilities.

A year and a half after releasing the acclaimed Alopecia, WHY? returns with their fourth album, Eskimo Snow. The two records are perfect foils: while last year's release delivered intricate rhymes, live loops, slurred hooks and acerbic wit, Eskimo Snow offers a snug, sobering take on mortality that unfurls in lush waves of Americana and pop-infused psych-folk.

A Soundtrack To An Unwritten Film - That's the idea that brought Setzer's 'Songs From Lonely Avenue' into being. Inspired by the great film noir soundtracks from the '40's and '50's, Setzer set out to create songs that would carry a classic cinematic mood completely missing from today's musical landscape. The result is the 3-time Grammy winner's best orchestra album today, and the first in an illustrious 30-year career where Brian wrote all songs on the album.

"This duo is definitely making their own mark on the New York scene. With sweet vocals and awesome stuttering drums the band makes an immediate impact with very little going on onstage. It's simple, it's awesome, you should start listening." -Pop Tarts Suck Toasted

The album's title track premiered on July 29th on the band's Myspace and has already garnered a huge buzz leading into their first single 'The Silence'.
