New Releases: August 19, 2008

Donavon Frankenreiter - Pass It Around CD/LP (Lost Highway)
Fresh off of having his music featured in Hilton Hotel’s “Leisure” ad (now airing on NBC during the Olympic games) Donavon Frankenreiter’s latest album features a guest performance by Grant Lee Philips. “I feel this is the best body of work I’ve done.” — Donavon Frankenreiter

Rodriguez - Cold Fact CD (Light In The Attic)
A lost classic of the 1960s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in color and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, “jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane.” Recorded in late ’69/early ‘70, Cold Fact is crushingly good stuff, filled with tales of bad drugs, lost love, and itchy-footed songs about life in late ’60s inner-city America.
The Fiery Furnaces - Remember 2xCD/3xLP+MP3 (Thrill Jockey)
This double CD/triple LP live album features 51 tracks spanning the band’s entire catalog and was recorded over the past three years of constant touring. The double CD is limited to 9,000 copies and comes in a deluxe 6-panel digipack with coupon to download an exclusive bonus track. The triple vinyl is limited to 2,000 copies and is housed in a custom-made old style tip-on gatefold jacket. Also includes download coupon.
The Gaslight Anthem - The ‘59 Sound CD/LP (Side One Dummy)
Although New Brunswick, NJ’s Gaslight Anthem has only been around a couple years, they’ve become one of the punk underground’s most celebrated acts. The Gaslight Anthem’s Side One Dummy debut reconciles their love of classic rock and soul icons Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding, and Tom Petty with their NJ punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam.
Outrageous Cherry - Wide Awake In The Spirit Of The World CD (Wicked Cool)
Sixteen-track best of collection includes the hits “More Than Blue,” This Evening,” and many more.
Straight Line Stitch - When Skies Wash Ashore CD (Koch)
“On When Skies Wash Ashore, lead singer Alexis Brown makes an immediate impression by alternating two voices — a ‘normal,’ if impassioned, singing voice and the kind of ungodly howl typical of heavy metal groups. The music backs the vocal battle royal with a style that similarly alternates between pummeling metal and melodic hard rock.” — All Music Guide
Dandy Warhols - Earth To The Dandy Warhols CD/LP (Beat The World Records)
Now acting as masters of their own destiny, The Dandy Warhol’s are back and ushering in a rockin’ return to form with Earth To The Dandy Warhols, the band’s debut on their newly minted label. The album is quintessential Dandy, pulling together the diverse sounds and influences that have always characterized their music, and full of the same dry vigor that’s made them world famous.
