Not as many new releases as the previous week (good – for my sake), which is fine because there’s really only one record you need to pick up this week: M83’s Saturdays = Youth. I just picked it up myself this morning off of iTunes, and I cannot wait to sit down and absorb every detail. All of the tracks i’ve heard so far seem to skew towards an 80’s teenage-angst type of movie soundtrack. It’s different, but still contains Gonzales’ signature shoegazer/electronic touches.
Anything else from this batch of releases that you can recommend? I’m kinda curious about that new Ours album, though I haven’t listened to anything from Jimmy Gnecco since Distorted Lullabies.

M83 was an obvious choice, I did the same on my blog. But it is so bloody good. Away from that, I strongly recommend the Frightened Rabbit record. Very good. It’s just two of them, brothers, and they have been likened to the Shins. I wouldn’t quite agree with that, but have a listen for yourself.
If you fancy some electro, the Does it Offend You, Yeah? album isn’t bad. I listen to that in the gym a fair bit.
Definitely avoid the Kooks album.
And I don’t know if you are aware of Eerie or The Whitest Boy Alive, but I have put some mp3s up on my blog, and I think they are songs you might like.
Stay cool.
Speaking of Frightened Rabbit, the song you’ve posted is not “Modern leper”, is it?
Wow, M83 is totally Pretty In Pink. Thanks for the recommendation.
