After a week off, the Daily Graboid is back and better than ever, as we have a ton of of releases to sift through this week. This seems to be a consistent recurrence as there always seems to be an enormous amount of albums the week after I tend to take breaks from the blog. This sort of thing is never anything to complain about, as it’s always great to discover new music.

This week brings us new albums from Okkervil River, Calexico, The Broken West, Portastatic, Emiliana Torrini, Chan VanGaalen and some lesser known TYS faves like Lost in the Trees and The Lovely Sparrows. Anything in particular that you’re excited to pick up? Let us know!

    mmm…i wish the stand-ins was as good as the stage names. i wouldn’t say i’m entirely disappointed, because there are still some amazing songs on it, but the stand-ins is on a considerably lower level than okkervil’s two previous LPs.
