Recommend a recent album release

[Icy Gull]

Recently downloaded Wilco's - Wilco(the album), if you are familiar with Jeff Tweedy, there is nothing new here but it's a very pleasant album and worth a listen if you like melodic music that's a bit different

Also just downloaded Regina Spektor's Far on my daughter's recommendation and I have to say it's worth a listen too...good voice, nice piano and in a modern girl singer/songwriter mode ( occasionally slightly weird delivery in a style a little like Lily Allen).

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Not quite a new release but I haven't seen him get a lot of coverage in the UK - Jason Mraz "We sing, We dance, we steal things" is superb. Kind of Joe Jackson, meets Jack Johnson, meets Jack Penate. Really likeable.

Listened to Lucky on the radio in Florida for two weeks over Easter - worth a listen:

"My one and Only Thrill" by Melody Gardot. A lovely voice and a great bit of jazz.

The Liberty of Norton Folgate - Madness.

The Nutty Boys strike gold again.

I fear your opinion may be slightly biased based on you avatar ?

Cat Stevens' (Yussuf's) new album is worth a listen.

 

[Pablo]

Bat For Lashes - Two Suns

 

[WhingForPresident]

Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun is quality.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Steve Earle - Townes

 

[Foolg]

Fine fascination by The Red Light Company is well worth a listen!

Bon Iver, Grizzly bear, Animal collective

Do you mean Another Cup because I've got that and like it, or is there a more recent one?

Not heard of any of the other suggestions, better have a listen on itunes

I like the sound of Kennedy.
Porcupine Tree issued a nice live CD recorded in Finland, but it's only available on their fan-site when you join.
I recently got the Riverside latest LP, and this is not bad.

Sounds hideous. His single is really bland. He played the Corn Exchange last year.

Mars Volta's album is out this week. I'm quite liking Bombay Bicycle club at the moment, and they're energetic live, but I twig a slight similarity to James Blunt in the singer's voice, which is a difficult observation to wipe from the subconscious. De La Soul's new album, Are You In, is much more upbeat than their other recent albums (it was commissioned by Nike as a jogging soundtrack, but don't let that put you off.) Q-Tip's album, The Renaissance, is excellent.

Spotted a daughter's recommendation above. Miss TRHK recommended City and Colour and their track "The Girl" - and I'm loving it. From "Bring Me Your Love" released about a year ago in the US but not sure it's had too much coverage here (or maybe loads - but I missed it).
