New Release Tuesday

Lonely, Dear - Lonely, Noir (buy it)

You might not be floored by "I Am John" but you'll probably like it. It's like a twisty movie you want to watch again right away to catch what you missed. What starts off as a low-key Islands-esque quirk-folk song with pretty female vocals slowly, almost imperceptibly evolves into a compressed power-pop anthem you want to turn up the volume on and jump around to. I hope the rest of this new Sub Pop signee's debut album is half as good.



Eleni Mandell - Miracle of Five (buy it)

Torchy Mandell's umpteenth album's got a vocal intimacy to it I haven't heard from her before, based on the four tracks streaming on her MySpace. You'll also find tour dates there; her tour starts Thursday in LA, then heads to Europe after a few more west coast dates.




Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway (reissue) (buy it)

Released way back in...2003, this is a reissue on Mark Kozelek's own Caldo Verde label. It comes with a bonus disc that includes an alternate version of "Carry Me Ohio," an acoustic "Salvador Sanchez," a radio recording of "Gentle Moon," two versions of Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere", and "Arrival," an instrumenal cut from the soundtrack to The Girl Next Door. Kinda skimpy if you already own the album, but not a bad deal if you don't.

Also out: new records from the Apples in Stereo, Rickie Lee Jones, and ex-Velocity Girl Sarah Shannon.
