New and/or Notable Stuff for the week of September 7

This week we have a lot of good stuff you to check out including releases from Interpol, The Thermals, and Jukebox The Ghost (photo)! Stop by the store this week to check out these great releases and more! - Emily

CDs:

Interpol - Interpol CD/LP+MP3 (Matador)
Long-awaited fourth album finds Interpol exploring dark musical landscapes of layered depth and intensity. Mixer Alan Moulder has brought the rhythm section back to the fore, anchoring a thicket of orchestral sound that brings to mind touchstones from black metal to ‘70s art rock.

Jukebox The Ghost - Everything Under The Sun CD+DVD/LP+MP3 (Yep Roc)
Hook-stuffed, melody rich pop. In the words of Yep Roc Records co-founder Glenn Dicker, "Most records have three great songs, this one has 11."

The Thermals - Personal Life CD/LP (Kill Rock Stars)
More than an album strictly about love, Personal Life is about relationships. It's about the concept of a connection between two people -- making it, breaking it, and faking it. The album amounts to the indie-rock equivalent of a brilliant but ultimately doomed love affair.

New and/or Notable Stuff for the week of August 31

This week is full of new stuff and reissues! Stop by Criminal Records and check out Jenny & Johnny, Sonny & The Sunsets, Black Crowes, and more! We'll see you at the store! - Emily

CDs:

Jenny & Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now CD/LP+CD (WB)
Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice have been collaborating on and off for years, each contributing to the other's solo records and live shows, but with this record they had a different intention: using their two voices in close harmony and playing practically every instrument themselves. The result is an eleven-song thirty-five minute blast of whip-smart rock & roll.

Sonny & The Sunsets - Tomorrow Is Alright CD (Fat Possum)
Vintage-style West Coast pop songs that tell sordid tales of distant travels, heavenly visions and otherworldly despair.

Black Crowes - Croweology 3xLP (Silver Arrow/Megaforce)
Recently released on CD -- now available on vinyl. Double album of acoustic material.

Seeing Eye Dog, HELMET's seventh album, is one of the band's most uncompromising and ambitious releases, embodying the classic and utterly unique Helmet sound and pushing it into regions the band has never before explored.
