New Album Releases July 21st, 2009

Posted on 21. Jul, 2009 by refe in NEWS

Not a lot of big name acts releasing new albums this week, but that certainly doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything worth checking out. In fact, often that means there’s a lot more to check out.

As far as recommendations go, The Starlight Mint’s, The Fiery Furnaces and Wye Oak’s new records are worth a listen, and Bad Veins show some promise with their self-titled debut. Also make sure to check out Electric Co.’s Josephine and the self titled Riceboy Sleeps.

Here’s a selective list of what’s hitting stores today, including links on the left to download them straight from iTunes or Amazon. What will you be adding to your play-list today? Of course, be sure to let me know if I’ve missed anything that you think should be on this list.
