new releases 01.24
While this blog is in danger of becoming about my apologies for not finding the time to write, I will do my best to at least keep the new releases coming. And the year in music gets started this week with Bob Pollard's newest bloated effort, along with a soul-steeped Cat Power disc. Also, Clearlake, whose last record I thought was a real sleeper. And Värttinä, who are a pretty interesting Finnish vocal group. A Delta 5 retrospective is out for the art-punkers. East River Pipe sings about drugs. And finally, a weird covers record by Bonnie Prince Billy and Tortoise (what a combination).
