New Music Tuesday 1.22.2013

Two albums I've been talking about coming out today are cheap! I'm grabbing both. 

• The Lone Bellow: The Lone Bellow ($5.99)
• Ra Ra Riot: Beta Love ($5)

Other new albums you need to check out because I like their previous work and/or because of some really great reviews...

• The Joy Formidable: Wolf's Law
• Foxygen: We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic

Ra Ra Riot Albums for $5

Both Ra Ra Riot albums are $5 (The Rhumb Line | The Orchard), and if you buy them through April 11 the proceeds benefit Japanese Red Cross.

If you need a proper introduction, here's "Can You Tell" from The Rhumb Line...

Music Monday 11.8.10

It's a glorious Music Monday at Reformissionary. Let me throw some gems at you.

• Hot Deals: The 99 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces ($1.99) | Florence + The Machine: Lungs ($3.99) | Teenage Fanclub: Bandwagonesque ($3.99) | The 99 Darkest Pieces of Classical Music ($1.99) | Band of Horses: Everything All The Time ($3.99)
• $5 Albums: Reformissionary Recommendations for November | Don't Miss 5: Brandi Carlile: The Story | Ra Ra Riot: The Orchard | Fang Island: Fang Island | Dark Night of the Soul | Arcade Fire: Funeral
• Streaming: Pickins is slim this week, but don't miss the excellent Bruce Springsteen: The Promise (The Lost Sessions: Darkness on the Edge of Town)
• Also: You really need to check out Her Name Is Calla. Download The Quiet Lamb. I know I've been mentioning it like every week, but you need it every week. You are welcome. And go download for free Kernal Garner's new song, "Homicide." Love it.

I highly recommend Derek Webb's new album, Feedback. It "an instrumental electronic album based on the Lord's Prayer." I think you'll like it. It's creative & beautiful.

A discovery from the last couple of months has been Dark Dark Dark. I first heard of them via Daytrotter's free download from last month (also grab September 2009 & March 2009 sessions). Their newest album, Wild Go, is great. I'll soon be downloading all their stuff because of songs I've found from previous albums (Bright Bright Bright | The Snow Magic) like "Wild Goose Chase." Enjoy...
