out this week

Another great week for buying albums:

The Twilight Sad: Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I still can’t get enough of this pure hearted album.

That Summer, At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy [wicked-cool song]
Last Year's Rain Didn't Fall Quite So Hard [wicked-cool song]
I'm Taking The Train Home [wicked-cool song]

buy Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters here


Dntel: Dumb Luck
Dumb Luck features a different vocal every track, it is simply the perfect mixture of minimal ambient/techno techniques with indie pop style!

Dumb Luck [super-wicked-cool song]
Roll On (feat. Jenny Lewis) [wicked-cool song]
Rock My Boat (feat. Mia Doi Todd) [wicked-cool song]
Breakfast In Bed (feat. Conor Oberst) [wicked-cool song]

Feist: The Reminder
Most of the world is getting The Reminder this week while the poor people from North America have to wait till next week for this lovely and more poppy release than Let It Die. Without a doubt, Feist will only gain a even bigger fanbase with The Reminder.

The Water [wicked-cool song]
1 2 3 4 [wicked-cool song]
Intuition [wicked-cool song]

it's eleven now so make every second count

Unlike his last full length Life Is Full Of Possibilites, Dntel’s new record, Dumb Luck, features vocal on every track... a different vocalist for each track... oh wait, and not just any vocalists either... James Tamborello managed to gather some of his coolest friends to help him out with the record: Grizzly Bear, Jenny Lewis, Fog, and Conor Oberst, just to name a few. In fact, "Dumb Luck", the title track and first track on the record is the only "solo" track on the album... however, it is also one of the best songs as well. "Dumb Luck" is the most fitting song to open the record; it empties out your surrounding while it creates this lethargic dream-like mood. That is exactly how the rest of the record feels. There are only two settings to get your absolute maximum experience with Dumb Luck: one, listen to it while you walk through the city streets (preferably during early morning or late at night... when there are less people on the streets); two, listen to it in an enclosed environment like your bedroom... turn the volume up, drop everything you're doing, and just lie in your bed. Dumb Luck features a perfect mixture of minimal ambient/techno techniques with indie pop style, this is surely Dntel’s masterpiece!
