TONS of new releases this week to talk about. First off I’ve been listening to The Decemberists‘ new album, Hazards of Love and so far…it’s…uhh…okay? I seriously need to spin this a few more times to get a real opinion about it, but it doesn’t suck. It’s obviously no Castaways & Cutouts, but it’s a grower. Catch The Decemberists on tour this spring here.

In addition to the plethora of new releases are Dan Deacon’s wonderfully bizarre masterpiece, . (Dan Deacon Kuestionnaire)

brings back that dark production I love so much; giving me a reason to listen to his whole catalog all over again.

The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson’s project releases her debut. Highly recommended for Knife and Bjork fans (like me).

Mastodon slaughters your senses with . I find it annoying that fans of the band are not embracing this change in style. Time to grow up kids!

Michael Zapruder’s Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope and 1090 Club’s Natural Selection came out last Tuesday through SideCho Records. You can purchase exclusive New Release Packages through the SideCho Store here; they include a copy of the album, an exclusive tshirt, and a pretty poster.
