FRANZ FERDINAND
TONIGHT ROCK CD 12.99
2009 release, the third album from Glasgow-based modern rockers. Tonight: Franz Ferdinand sees them taking a step back from the Post-Punk revival sounds that gave them their breakthrough. With Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, the band are seen to incorporate more disparate influences such as Jamaican Dub and elements of Electronica. What remains of the old Franz Ferdinand is their knack for locating a danceable rhythm and their gentle, deadpan humour. The choice of Dan Carey as producer is in keeping with this new direction, the past credits of whose include CSS and Hot Chip.

OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ
OLD MONEY ROCK CD 14.99
2009 release from The Mars Volta guitarist/producer/writer/arranger. The addictive melodies and passionate execution of each performance render Old Money perhaps the most accessible of his non-Volta recordings, and the perfect entry point to anyone not yet familiar with what this prolific artist has to offer. Loosely based on the concept of exploitative industrialists and, well, their old money, the album presents a 10-track collection of concise rock compositions, which range from Progressive to Psychedelic to downright funky. |
SERPENT THRONE
BATTLE OF OLD CROW HM CD 12.99
The tide is high and rising on Serpent Throne’s second record 'The Battle of Old Crow'. Headbang and hum as highway flying, moon-lit instrumental melodies wash over like the heavy waves of Charon. Early metal and old rock influences soar across the in-flight battleground of old crow. Elevated hard rock guitar harmonies ignite into night wings as this wheel in the sky keeps on burning.

NEW ON THE SITE: THE BIRD & THE BEE
The last time Inara George and Greg Kurstin (a.k.a. THE BIRD AND THE BEE) make it easy to fall in love with their airy blend of Brazilian Tropicalia, ’60s psychedelic pop, and sparse electronic beats – Rolling Stone calls it “danceable pop that sounds like audible sunshine.” With gems like “Polite Dance Song” and “Love Letter to Japan,” RAY GUNS ARE NOT JUST THE FUTURE (out 1/27) takes you back to that happy place. Check out a few tracks in our pop-up jukebox at www.earshot.com
