New Music – Week of 06/02/09

Here’s where I usually insert some sort of commentary on the happenings of the week or the weekend, but you know what, it was too nice outside to spend it cooped up indoors. Luckily, I did spend some time looking for new music, in between bike rides and movies and roof deck book finishing.
Eels – Hombre Lobo: I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be the person I am without e’s voice and sonic palette guiding me. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this later, but I’m REALLY looking forward to this.
Elvis Costello – Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane : I really love EC, but it feels like every time I turn around he has a new album out. It would be tiring if I paid more attention. Or if I wasn’t so desperately behind on his catalog. Still, though, I’ll probably pick this up.
Cass McCombs – Catacombs: Somehow I missed that this dude had anything since 2005′s PREfection. I loved that album, albeit belatedly, so I’ll look for this one. Unfortunately, his myspace claims the album won’t be available stateside for a few more weeks – which, if that’s the case, is just silly.
Patrick Wolf – The Bachelor: I held off on Wolf’s last album, The Magic Position for some reason. I think I wasn’t ready for it – I remember it being described somewhere as Fiddler on the Roof mixed with indie electronic rock. I have no idea if that’s true, but this album’s been getting lots of buzz, so it should at least force me to go back and look at that one – assuming this one passes muster.
And, of course, Weeds Season 4!
