With so many high-profile albums out this week (and this month for that matter), it once again makes for an increasingly difficult task of figuring out what to spend your hard-earned cash on. First off is Broken Bells, the highly anticipated collaboration between James Mercer, lead singer and guitarist of The Shins, and Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton. I’ve yet to hear this one myself, but there’s more than enough reason to give this one a shot just solely on the talent involved alone.
There are also some new albums from the likes of The Knife, Gorillaz, The Besnard Lakes, jj, Jason Collett, Ted Leo, and a bunch more just too numerous to mention. Though, personally I’m excited about two albums in particular — one being The Morning Benders’ Big Echo and a debut solo effort from former Beulah frontman Miles Kurosky.
As usual, let us know what you’re exciting about this week, as there is more than enough to satisfy any music fan.

I’ve been waiting for new Beulah forever, had no idea Miles Kurosky was doing a solo thing, I’m so very excited.
I just saw White Hinterland perform last night and their new stuff is awesome! Can’t wait to hear the album.
i’ve been reading your blog forever, and i also just moved to utah. did you go to vampire weekend thursday? what did you think?
@Jane: I didn’t go to the VW show, as I’m not honestly not that big a fan of theirs. Heard it was a great show, though!
Do you live in SLC?
Yay, Zeus!
