Two Gallants- The Bloom and The Blight

It's hard to believe that it's been five years without a new record from Two Gallants, already being dismissed by new age black keys fans who think they are a rip-off without realizing that The Bloom and The Blight will be the duo's fourth album. Sometime in 2004 when Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel featured on many mixtapes I made for former and failed conquests back when itunes was barely more than a twinkle in the apple's eye. So it goes without saying I'm emotionally attached to these two. Their new album out on Monday has an explosive beginning and hopefully they wont wait five years to release the next one.

TEEN

Teen's debut album "In Limbo" out of this week is a heady rival for album of the week, based in Brooklyn (aren't they all) featuring Teeny former member of Here We Go Magic. Hyptonizing punked up pop with girl gang vocals which somehow managing to mix 60's girl group, menacing electro/kraut sensiblities with a modern day sound. Carpark you always get it right...

Divine Fits

With a line-up that boasts members of Spoon, Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs and New Bomb Tucks, it's no suprise that the debut album from Divine Fits (" A Thing called Divine Fits) released on the Mighty MERGE Records is a thing of complete calculated beauty.
