CSS - Donkey

Brazil's CSS release their follow-up to 2006's Cansei de Ser Sexy ("I got tired of being sexy").
they've toured worldwide a number of times with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, and Diplo, and played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork, and Virgin to Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond.
Donkey is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic energy of their live shows: equal parts dance party, urban circus, and out-and-out chaos.
good.

HEALTH - Disco

with the awesomely-named Health, noise is a controlled art form.
their self-titled debut swept through the headspaces of indie rock kids and pretentious rock critics like some sort of ear-splitting windstorm with beats. Truth be told, the record was excellent but it left you hungry for more: so let's enter Disco, the remix album to end all remix albums.

MIKE PATTON - A Perfect Place O.S.T.

Mike Patton makes his debut as a film composer for the film noir short, A Perfect Place.
it's the 25 minute comedy short of Fantoma Films co-founder, Derrick Scocchera.
being Scocchera’s directorial debut as well as Patton’s film score debut, the team works well together in setting the tone for the movie and this shadowy, pessimistic movie, ingeniously recreating a cinematic genre popular in the 1940’s and 1950’s and, filmed in anamorphic black and white will leave you wanting more like it from Scocchera.
and Patton as well.

MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND - A Thousand Shark's Teeth

charming, playful, daring, foreboding, graceful, eclectic, exciting and visceral: these are all the first words that come to mind after a full listen through A Thousand Shark's Teeth.
it is a record that evokes and challenges, full of the sorts of melodies and arrangements that stay with you long after the album's stopped playing.
My Brightest Diamond fill an unique musical niche, where the instrumentation alone sets your heart apart, and then adding the vocals sends it over the top.

TILLY & THE WALL - O

O, the third record from the literally toe-tapping Tilly and the Wall, starts exactly like a Tilly song has always started; a simple guitar strum, eighth note pattern, with a simple progression and an upward moving, if not slightly melancholic melody.
but that's not enough.
in a second you can stumble into rock and roll with more than just the traditional piano/tap dancer combination: we have fuzzy guitars, hard electric riffs.
in a few words, old fans will find something new, and new fans will discover an old winning combination: good song-writing, catchy melodies, and a bunch of upbeat tracks.
the album is no revolution, but it certainly makes for a good addition to the library.

THE SUBWAYS - All Or Nothing

here's the long-awaited sophomore outing, following 2005's Young For Eternity, from youthful, grunge-inspired brit trio.
this album saw the band decamp to LA to work with legendary US alt-rock producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins), who beefed up and smoothed out their sound: the result is a considerable sonic progression from the rudimentary garage punk oftheir debut, which sees them absorbing various influences from US rock history and beyond.
includes the singles Alright and the download-only Girls & Boys.
