Adds for 1/20

1. The Decemberists – What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World (Capitol)

The long-awaited release from Portland based folk rockers contains tunes with modern pop feels as well as dark, gritty folk tracks that feature the sound The Decemberists have become known for.

2. Jack Name – Weird Moons (Castle Face)

Jack Name uses overlapping synths to create a thick techno sound that is at once creepy, quirky and mesmerizing.

3. BC Camplight – How to Die in the North (Bella Union)

With an eclectic twist on the sounds of yesteryear, this album will transport you to an era when songwriters were unafraid to showcase their eccentricities.   Songs range from Nilsson-esque piano ballads to 70s R&B to psych pop experiments.

4. Sleater-Kinney – No Cities to Love (SubPop)

The tracks off of Sleater-Kinney’s first release in nearly a decade are angsty with funky grooves.  Fans will be excited to hear that despite a 1o year break, the group can still pack a punch, and sound great doing it.

5. Cloakroom – Further Out (Run For Cover)

Further Out is a dark and brooding collection of tunes from Indiana trio Cloakroom.  Jam packed with distorted bass, guitar reverb and pounding drums, the vocals shine through to put the icing on this very grungy cake.
