MSRI’ve been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks (primarily moving, among other things) and I’m just now finally getting settled in. I don’t think I’ve had this kind of incessant time away from blogging since I started this thing, but hopefully things will get back to normal around here.

What better way to kick things off than with The Daily Graboid, as this will be another chunk of the last month or so of releases that I’ve missed. Starting next week I will probably get back to a weekly posting of this, so I’m sure that will at least please the majority of you.

Feel free to recommend anything I may have missed!

metric-fantasies-album-coverLots of notable albums out this week, which include a couple of highly anticipated releases from Silversun Pickups and Metric. I’ve listened to the Metric record a few times, and I’m still not sure what to think about it. It still sounds a lot like Live It Out, which I didn’t care for at all.  I look at what Yeah Yeah Yeahs did with It’s Blitz! and that’s more in line with what I would’ve liked Fantasies to be more in tune with.

Other releases include the latest from The Boy Least Likely To, Pomegranates, Papercuts, and Ida Maria.  Also available this week is the self-titled EP from Brooklyn’s Suckers, who’ve been getting a lot of press lately from the likes of Stereogum, FADER, Pitchfork,  etc.

If there’s anything we’ve missed, do let us know.  And don’t forget about Record Store Day this Saturday!
