This week showcases a solid amount of releases with Okkervil River’s Stage Names being the high-profile album out of this bunch. I’ve mentioned here many times that i’ve never been much of a fan, but i’m willing to give this one a chance. A few other releases have been mentioned here on the blog recently and I can definitely recommend. Those being Art in Manila’s Set the Woods on Fire, The Brunette’s Structure and Cosmetics and the Benzos’ Branches (which I haven’t mentioned on the blog previously).
One interesting release that caught me by complete surprise is the The Distant Future EP from the New Zealand comedic duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement better known as Flight of the Conchords. Their cable television show has become an instant favorite of mine after discovering I suddenly had HBO and catching an episode a couple of weeks ago.
