COLD CAVE- Cherish The Light Years - CD / LP - MATADOR

click to enlarge New full album (9 songs) by this Neo-New Wave band from New York City. Sounds very much 80s-like, in the vein of the CURE, COMSAT ANGELS, and NEW ORDER. www.coldcave.net

FUCKED UP- David Comes To Life - 2XLP / CD - MATADOR

click to enlarge Most probably the first "Rock-Opera" by a (former) Hardcore-Punk band. In 4 acts, resp. 18 songs, the album tells the story of David, a young lad from the british wastelands, finding his love of life, losing it, getting desperate, and then back on the tracks again... Could be inspired by the WHO's "Quadrophenia", but musically it reminds more of THERAPY?! Double-LP includes download-code as well.

FUCKED UP- The Chemistry Of Life - CD - MATADOR

click to enlarge New 2nd album by these Canadians, with 11 tracks and a full playing-time of over 50 minutes. To the NEGATIVE APPROACH like sound of their early days, they have added a strong dose of bombastic Hard-Rock (kinda comparable to TURBONEGRO), and even tripping sometimes into progressive fields, almost like early PINK FLOYD...

TED LEO PHARMACISTS- The Brutalist Bricks - LP - MATADOR

click to enlarge Vinyl-LP including a download-coupon! The new album by Ted Leo and his band doesn't hold any big surprises, but of course it lives up to their own high standards of quality, delivering once again 13 brilliant tunes in their own tradition. Or in other words: Ted Leo is one of the last great songwriters with a political (or punk) attitude!

THURSTON MOORE- Demolished Thoughts - 2XLP / CD - MATADOR

Double-vinyl packed in a gatefold-cover, with download-coupon included!

TIMES NEW VIKING- Born Again Revisited - LP - MATADOR

click to enlarge The new 4th full album by this band! 15 new songs, being as hymnical and catchy as on "Rip It Off", and as sympathetically noisy in a lofi-manner as on "Paisley Reich"!

TIMES NEW VIKING- Rip It Off - LP - MATADOR

click to enlarge 3rd full album (after 2 LPs on SILTBREEZE) now available as LP on 180g-premium-vinyl, including a free download-coupon! 16 songs, still with nice little pop-melodies creeping out of a totally noisey and feedback-soaked sound! Reminding of early PAVEMENT, SUPERCHUNK, or the rocking side of SONIC YOUTH.
