Art Brut – Art Brut Vs. Satan
Art Brut is back with their 3rd album, and it was produced by the legendary Frank Black. I posted about the leadoff track a few months ago. Pitchy gave it a 7.7 so apparently they still got plenty of fuel left in their tank.

Brakes – Touchdown
Brakes are an alternative/indie rock band from the UK that has members of British Sea Power (formerly in) , Electric Soft Parade and The Tenderfoot in it. The album is supposed to be their most polished work yet with immediate pop songs radiating from the album.
[mp3] : Brakes – Two Shocks
Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career
Camera Obscura make delightful female lead indie pop. Their latest LP is called My Maudlin Career and it just got the Best New Music stamp from pitchy.
[mp3] : Camera Obscura – French Navy
Depeche Mode – Sounds Of The Universe
At album number 12 Depeche Mode are getting mixed reviews from the critics, but I am sure the fans of the band are still cheering them on. Their 2005 album Playing The Angel was well recieved, so lets see how this one does over the course of the year.
[mp3] : Depeche Mode – Wrong
Dubious Ranger – Uneasy Truce At The Watering Hole
Think of them as a western version of Franz Ferdinand. The guitar riffs are there.
[mp3] : Dubious Ranger – Weapon
Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream
Walking On A Dream is just as infectious as they come. Sorta the same style as MGMT, which explains why the band is getting so popular all of a sudden. Their debut came out last year, but this is the US release. This should hold you over until MGMT’s 2nd. :-p

Super Furry Animals – Dark Days / Light Years
Super Furry Animals don’t get enough respect here in the States. Do you agree with me? These guys have a very solid and consistent career. Where is the love?
