Motorpsycho – Child of the Future (Rune Grammofon)
LP $18.00 Listen: The Ozzylot (hidden in a girl)
Vinyl-only album from Norwegian muso-prog-rock alchemists, engineered by Steve Albini in Chicago last year, save for one mellow Zeppelin-esque acoustic ballad recorded at home. The follow-up to their spectacular prog suite, Little Lucid Moments from 2008, this slab of incendiary rockers returns to classic rocksongs, likened to their Trust Us and Angels & Daemons era, with a hint of Barracuda. Cool die-cut jacket with poster, wax is white and 180 grams. [more detail]

Beaujolais - Admirations (Parasol Records) CD $10.00
Listen: All My Exorcisms • Elbows
Parasol Label Group Presents: New album from former Wolfie, Busytoby and The Like Young dude Joe Ziemba's one-man-garage-band Beaujolais. His 2008 debut, Love At Thirty, was a very personal and harrowing account of deceit and divorce, while Admirations is about Joe finding himself and a new life since. Gloriously genuine garage- and electro-pop; an intimate singer-songwriter odyssey, and not surprisingly, a bit more upbeat! Visit the Admirations release page for further details, more songs (including a Vashti Bunyan cover).

Six Organs of Admittance - Luminous Night (Drag City)
CD $12.50 Listen: The Ballad of Charley Harper
It creeps up on you: We dosed ourselves with Six Organs of Admittance's latest trip for the first time this morning and it has us all cocooned in its sun-dappled reverie, all peaceful-eyed and such. Extra British and especially pastoral; wyrdfolk with mantric vocals, flowery flute, layered strings and hand percussion; minimalist and baroque in turns. Unsurprising arising from the gently warped brainpan of Comets On Fire guitarist and Current 93 collaborator Ben Chasney. [more detail]

Lightning Dust - Infinite Light (Jagjaguwar) CD $11.50
Listen: Antonia Jane • Never Seen
Saturday Shift: We highly recommend this compelling second effort from Lightning Dust, AKA Amber and Josh from Black Mountain. A preternatural folksy weirdness led hither on yon by Amber's similarly preter-something-or-other voice, a druggy warble that seems to shapeshift between Jefferrson Airplane and Cocteau Twins, backed with a piano-driven blend of limpid chorale folk and funereal electro-pop.

Richard Lloyd - The Jamie Neverts Story
(Parasol Records) CD $10.00
Listen: Spanish Castle Magic • Ain't No Telling
Parasol Label Group Presents: The new album from ex-Television guitarist Richard Lloyd is a collection of Jimi Hendrix covers. To capture the special essence of Jimi’s playing Richard had to lay down some ground rules. In his own words: "No more than three guitars on any track. No effects pedals, no fuzz box, no Octavia, no Wahwah pedal, no feedback, nothing backwards. Just Stratocaster guitars into Supro and Magnatone amplifiers." Visit the release page for the whole story, further details, more songs and a free mp3 (soon).

The Spires - A Way of Seeing (Bee House) CD $10.00
Listen: TAM • Ballad of the Spires
Ear candy: When The Spires are playing our collective antennae start waving in appreciation. They're from Ventura, CA and came to us via likeminded pals The Coral Sea. The Spires' sound encompasses Brit-Pop and Amerindie, their droning pop akin to The Chills, Belle & Sebastian, Luna, The Go-Betweens, Starflyer 59, with a hint of Pavment. [more detail]

This otherworldly three-CD juggernaut (the second installment in their 'Thank Your Parents' trilogy) has morphed into our brain-melter of choice in recent weeks; tribal and primal. A nearly unclassifiable triple-decker slab of sultry avant-rock, teeming with prog and psychedelic spectrums, epic in size and scope (100 minutes, and counting). [more detail]
