AJ Morocco: April 3, 2011

New releases, Apr 2011

1. DeVotchKa – 100 Lovers (Anti)

2. J Mascis – Several Shades of Why (Sub Pop)

   
   
   Acoustic solo debut from J Mascis from Deep Wound and Dinosaur Jr. Kudos to J for having the balls to release something this personal. Definitely worth picking up.

3. Secret Cities – Strange Hearts (Western Vinyl)

   
   
   Unexpectedly awesome.

4. Vivian Girls – Share The Joy (Polyvinyl)

5. Radiohead – King of Limbs (TBD)

   I like Radiohead. A lot. This was way better than I expected it to be. It’s really easy to sit and criticize them for all the things they aren’t doing (like writing rock songs) but you have to keep things in perspective.

6. The Dodos – No Color (Frenchkiss)

7. Deep Sleep – Turn Me Off (Grave Mistake)

8. Gun Outfit – High Places 12” (Make a Mess)

9. Government Warning – No Moderation (Grave Mistake)

10. …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Tao of the Dead (Superball)
