What we are digging:

This. When this album dropped in early 2011 it came out of nowhere.Well, almost nowhere. Maybe you had been following the craziness surrounding Frank's southern California hip hop collective Odd Future, who had been riding a wave of indie awareness and controversy at this time, or maybe you were a fan of forward thinking RnB and it was just something on your radar. However it came into your view, it more than likely planted itself firmly in place and didn't leave your brain until it could leak down to your fingers and type itself on a best of 2011 list. There was only one thing missing...vinyl. You see, nostalgia was put out as a mixtape, famously released by Frank after frustrations with label Def Jam dragging their heels forced him to release the album himself on the Odd Future website to the surprise of OF fans checking their website looking to re-download their lost copy of "Goblin" or "Earl".

But all that is different now. Why? Cuz Repo. Now you can hear "There Will Be Tears" in all it's life affirming glory, "Novacaine" in all it's indie kid pleasing-ness, and "Strawberry Swing" in all it's beautiful non-Coldplay-ness. We kid. But we really love this album. And it really shines on vinyl. Come say hi and pick up a copy. Repo loves you

Lantern - Rock 'N' Roll Rorschach
(Sophomore Lounge)

The title of Philadelphia-based Lantern's new album isn't just a fun, alliterative phrase-- it's a satisfyingly self-aware critique as well. Rock 'N' Roll Rorschach is just that: a sort of abstract skeleton of "rock 'n' roll," onto which we can all project what we most like to see in rock music. In using many of rock's most recognizable musical signifiers (like "Evil Eye"s "Lust For Life" beat) and lyrical mainstays (the mojo hand, "She's A Rebel"), Lantern is able to make music that is so obviously and straightforwardly rock 'n' roll that it sounds both instantly familiar and impossible to pin down. It's rare to see a band so single-mindedly focused on genre. And the result would almost be pastiche if Rock 'N' Roll Rorschach didn't actually rock so damn hard. We have copies available in the store right now! Come on out and grab one while you can - they are limited to 500 pressings!

Lust for Youth - Perfect View
(Sacred Bones)

"On Perfect View, Swedish producer Hannes Norrvide returns with his third full length and it’s warmer and more inviting than any of his previous work. The album is composed of largely instrumental pieces, focusing more on beats, samples and general ambiance than its predecessor, last year’s Growing Seeds. Tracks like “Breaking Silence” and “Barcelona” highlight this shift in direction and overall mood, while tracks such as “Another Day” and “Vibrant Brother” stay true to Norrvide’s signature form. Overall this album ventures more towards rave than no-wave and this is perhaps most evidenced by witnessing their live show where Norrvide is joined by Vår frontman Loke Rahbek (Sacredbones.com)." Fresh off the presses we have copies of this brand new LUST FOR YOUTH album Perfect View in the store right now!  Come and get one!

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
(XL Recordings)

"Modern Vampires of the City," the New York quartet's third album and the follow-up to the 2010 smash "Contra, is its best to date. Band members call the album, released Tuesday, the completion of a trilogy, and it will likely crumble whatever mass-appeal barriers are left. "Modern Vampires" is still a distinctively Vampire Weekend album: harpsichords, gospel pianos, Jamaican influences are liberally applied. But they're also being more accessible. First single "Diane Young" rocks along behind a punk riff and pounding percussions (Huffington Post).
