New Music: Junior Boys, Röyksopp, The Decemberists
You should be listening to these new albums right now:
Junior Boys - Begone Dull Care (iTunes)
“Junior Boys have once again crafted a majestically cohesive album that fits nicely alongside both Last Exit and So This Is Goodbye in an impressively consistent discography that shows one of this decade’s best acts in electronic pop” via Obscure Sound
Röyksopp - Junior (iTunes)
“While it might be oversimplifying matters to suggest that it splits the difference between the cute, poppy Röyksopp and the darker, techno-friendly Röyksopp, the most satisfying thing about Junior is how convincingly they’ve bridged that divide.” via Pitchfork
The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love (Buy)
“The music here is as strong as anything that the band has ever done, though the album is distinctly different than their others—sparser, perhaps, in timbre and in instrumentation, but more varied in style. Throughout the album the band moves from thunderous metal to triumphant rock and roll to lovely, accordion-led waltz.” via PopMatters
