Dublin continue to push the boundaries with the May 4th release of its new
genre-busting album, Planet Electric. It’s as if the band has been
sent on a mission to further spread their sound beyond the planet and out
into the galaxy. They describe Planet Electric “as the buzz of the
world plugged into a large socket, electrifying the people and charging up
their energy”.
'From his days in the now legendary
punk/alt-country outfits The Nuns, Rank and File and his own True Believers,
to his glowingly received solo gems including 2008's Real Animal, Escovedo
has built a rapturous underground following among fans, songwriting peers
and critics alike. His highly anticipated Fantasy Records debut, Street
Songs of Love, is a 13-track celebration of survival, liberation and
ultimate salvation.
'America is a good place for stories,' Laurie
Anderson told London's The Guardian right before she brought 'Homeland,' her
self described 'concert poem,' to English stages. 'Homeland' contains some
of Anderson's most incisive work, -- darkly humorous, starkly emotional,
and, at times, movingly tender. Her stories are once again about these
United States of America, the sprawling subject that first brought her
acclaim more than 25 years ago with her eight-hour Reagan era phantasmagoria
This is Sarah’s first studio album of new
material in seven years, since the double–platinum Afterglow in 2003, and
its twelve songs rank with the most compelling work ever created by this
gifted artist.
'MOJO' has juice and guts but it also has some
sweet balladry for the slow dancers and even a wacked-out reggae number that
is unlike anything that the Heartbreakers have done before. It's the kind of
album nobody's supposed to be able to make anymore. It got here just in
time.
Original soundtrack to the 2010 motion
picture, the third film in the successful Twilight Saga franchise.
Features 15 tracks including cuts from Muse, Metric, The Bravery, The Dead
Weather, Vampire Weekend, Florence & The Machine, The Black Keys and many
others.

Exile on Main Street (Dlx)
[Deluxe Edition][Extra tracks][Original recording remastered]
'Regarded as one of the greatest albums in
rock 'n' roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones' catalogue.
Upon its release more than three decades ago, 'Exile on Main Street'
innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into
a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The original 18-track double-album was
recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios
in London, Keith Richard's mansioellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where
the literal "Main Street" influenced the album title.
'Brothers' was primarily cut in Muscle Shoals,
a setting that turned out to have more in common with the Akron, Ohio
factories where the Black Keys used to record. The place was desolate, the
town depressed, so once again the duo slipped into a world all its own. They
did additional recording at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound System in Akron and
The Bunker in Brooklyn. The album was mixed by engineer Tchad Blake, a
veteran of sessions with Los Lobos, Pearl Jam and Peter Gabriel. Says
Carney, 'The way he approaches mixing is the same way we approach making
music. Respecting the past while being in the present.'
'The Age of Miracles is the 3rd Zoe/Rounder
release from world renowned singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter. The Age
of Miracles has been a work in progress since 2007. The album is a personal
exploration of regret and resilience but also a larger, more universal
expression of wonder at the times we are living in. Carpenter is backed by
an incredible band that includes Matt Rollings (piano, B-3 organ), Russ
Kunkel (drums), Duke Levine (electric and acoustic guitar), Glenn Worf
(bass), Dan Dugmore (steel and 12 string guitar) and Eric Darken
(percussion). It also features guest vocals by Vince Gill and Alison Krauss.
'Lady Antebellum (Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley
and Hillary Scott), The critically acclaimed trio, co-wrote and produced
songs together with veteran producer Paul Worley and some of Music Row's
most awarded songwriters. Need You Now,The leading single and title
track to the groups Sophomore album is taking the country music world by
storm, spending 5 consecutive weeks on the US Country singles charts. Lady
Antebellum, Need You Now is sure to be an excellent addition to any country
music fan's collection.
'This album captures so many magical moments,
the best times I've ever had as a musician,' declares singer-songwriter
Natalie Merchant of 'Leave Your Sleep,' her ambitious, two-disc Nonesuch
debut. Merchant, celebrated solo artist and one-time voice of 10,000
Maniacs, took on what could have been a daunting task: she's adapted 19th
and 20th century British and American poetry - well-known and obscure works,
anonymous rhymes, children's lullabies, all of it timeless material full of
direct emotion - and fashioned new songs from these words.
