Two of my favorite albums from last year were Band of Horses: Everything all the Time and Sunset Rubdown: Shut up I am dreaming. I actually think Sunset Rubdown might be my favorite band at this point in time. Anyway, the good news is that on Tuesday, both of these groups will be releasing new products: Random Spirit Lover from Sunset Rubdown (already reviewed here by Pitchfork), and Cease to Begin from Band of Horses.
If you don't have their debut albums, KPC highly recommends their aquisition. We are waiting for our pre-ordered copies of the new stuff to arrive. If you don't know Spencer Krug, we recommend his entire oeuvre (sweet rhyme!). He is in Wolf Parade and Swan Lake (a demented "supergroup" with Krug, Casey Mercer of Frog Eyes and Dan Bejar (btw, I am not making this up)) and those entities' outputs are also highly recommended.
On a sad note, did anyone see Iron and Wine on the Letterman Show Friday night? Holy Crap people, they looked and sounded like Stealers Wheel, or Brewer & Shipley. Sam Beam appears to have jumped the shark in a big way.
