Really Hot Philadelphia rapper Amanda Blank releases first Solo Album
I Love You. With producers like Diplo, XXX Change, and Santogold it
may also be the best produced hip hop/electronic album of the year.
Indie Rockers Modest Mouse 6th studio album : No One's First and Your Next. Their second album with former Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr. The whole album is currently streaming on their Myspace.
Third full length album from Arctic Monkeys : Humbug, leaked sometime yesterday. In the album they explore a much darker and mellower side than their previous work. Not my favorite Arctic Monkeys but still solid.
Fun's debut album Aim and Ignite Leaked earlier this week. It may very well be one of the catchiest and happiest things that I have ever heard. Just a warning, All the Pretty Girls WILL be stuck in your head for the next three days.
The band features former lead singer of The Format, Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost from Anathallo, and Jack Antonoff from Steel Train.
Monsters of Folk: Supergroup consisting of Conor Oberst & Mike Mogis(Bright Eyes), Jim James (My Mornings Jacket) and M.Ward. Posted two new songs on their myspace. Enjoy! "Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)" "The Sandman, The Brakeman, and Me" http://www.myspace.com/monstersoffolk
