This edition of the Graboid is all about the unknown, as I wouldn’t be surprised if you haven’t heard about many of these releases (I haven’t, at least).  Though, there are a few notable names scattered throughout including MF Doom and Ola Podrida.

There is one album that I highly recommend checking out, which is Received Pronunciation, the fourth release from Pants Yell! which also marks their debut with Slumberland Records.

As always, feel free to recommend anything I may have left off!

Okay, okay, I know that I said the Daily Graboid would return to it’s original weekly state, but I was out of town all of last week so I’m hoping you can cut me a little slack this one time.

I’ve never been this busy in a very long time, as I’ll be moving for the second time this month starting at the beginning of next week. If you’re curious, I’m going to be moving from Alabama (where I’ve lived my entire life, sadly enough) to Salt Lake City. It’s taken me a while to warm up to the idea, but it’s better than my current situation. So if any readers are from around the area, let me know! Would be great to meet some new people once I get settled in.

Now with that out of the way, we can get to the new album releases from the past week. For two week’s worth of stuff to browse through, there isn’t a whopping amount of “must buys” as far as I’m concerned, but there’s a fair share of quality albums to pique your interest. With new albums/EPs from the likes of Mew, Imogen Heap, Blitzen Trapper, Young Galaxy, Sally Shapiro, The Cave Singers, and The Postmarks. The latter of which completely caught me by surprise as I didn’t even know they were working on a follow-up to their criminally overlooked self-titled debut.

As always, feel free to recommend anything I may have left off.
