New album releases for the week of May 26, 2009
Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, Mandy Moore and, well, more.
Phoenix, "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" (Glassnote)
French alternative rock/electronic band with a light pop touch moves from Astralwerks in the U.S. to Glassnote on its latest album. The excitement about the quartet continues to build following its April 4 appearance on "Saturday Night Live," when it performed first single, infectious "1901." The band's June 12 appearance at Bonnaroo kicks off a North American club and small theater tour.
If you were one of the millions of people who downloaded this record months ago when it hit the torrent sites, be warned: this set sounds much better in its mastered form, which those torrents were not.
