Today's Subjects: ----------------- good recent releases [JoAnn Whetsell ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2016 01:16:54 +0000 From: JoAnn Whetsell Subject: good recent releases I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying some new releases so thought I would share. Regina Spektor - Remember Us to Life LOVE this album. I was disappointed with Regina's last album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats. This is a welcome return. Thoroughly charming. El Perro Del Mar - KoKoro Another return to form after a disappointing album. This expands El Perro Del Mar's sonic palette with some influences I can't quite place. Suzanne Vega - Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers I've only listened to this once so far but it seemed quite promising. Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Until the Hunter This will be released next Friday. Right now it's on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2016/10/27/499145209/first-listen-hope-sandoval-the-warm-i nventions-until-the-hunter.

Here, she works with My Bloody Valentine's Colm O'Ciosoig, as well as guests like Kurt Vile. Tori Amos has a new single, Flicker, from a Netflix documentary. It's pretty good and part of the proceeds benefit RAINN. Austra has some new singles from their new album, due January 20. Happy listening, everyone!
