Lots of great releases to be had this week, with a few in particular that I personally recommend, which are Camera Obscura’s My Maudlin Career, Cryptacize’s Mythomania, and Pet Shop Boys’ Yes. There are some excellent songs that standout on Camera Obscura’s record, but I’m still not quite sure if I enjoy it from top to bottom. Though, I’ve been playing that Pet Shop Boys’ release almost non stop since listening to it for the first time just the other night.
Other worthwhile releases that I’ve heard bits and pieces of would include Super Furry Animals, King Khan and the Shrines, Art Brut, and Empire of the Sun. Anything else worth checking out this week? What are you excited about?

Super Furry Animals and Doctors & Dealers make my spring and probably summer as well! Pure awesomeness!
i feel the same way about the camera obscura record. it’s more of the same thing they’ve been doing, which is just fine, but there’s just a couple songs in there that are poor.
i like the new cryptacize too. i really wish they’d give in more often to the tension and just let loose.
I’ve never heard of Barzin before now but I’m really liking that track. Very mellow, reminds me of a few other artists.
