For those of you who are unaware (we’re a day or so late announcing this), young Zach Condon (19? 20? Help me out) who brought us heartfelt Balkan pop with 2006’s Gulag Orkestar, and then grabbed an 8 piece back up band to make one of the year’s best E.P.s Lon […]
Well, let’s just say a lack of knowledge regarding certain new releases in the world of music is something that we all suffer from, even for us record store employees. I honestly can’t be everywhere at once! So according to the Southern Records website, remastered versions of both The Grey EP and the […]
Tuesday brings the release of what looks to me like one of the most interesting releases of 2007. Stone’s Throw has a knack for teaming up with great, unexpected artists (Gary Wilson, Galt McDermott, etc.) to present wonderful new projects. Now, three percussionists from Chicago experimentalists Tortoise are releasing a concept breaks record called “Bumps,” […]
A month ago Frog Eyes dropped a new record called Tears of the Valedictorian, and I’m not sure how anybody else at Relative feels about it but it’s found it’s way back to my cd player like a bad habit almost everyday since its release. Carey Mercer leads the group (which includes his wife […]
The good people of Soul Jazz have taken a break from digging up and compiling the best of the old to look forward with a compilation of brand new Future Dub and Dubstep. Entitled “Box of Dub,” it includes contributions from artists such as Burial, Digital Mystikz, and Kode 9. Not only do […]

The RTR team has not properly blogged or reviewed Jarvis Cocker’s new album yet. I guess we all assumed we didn’t have to, and I guess we are all asses for that, and I am puzzled as to why we still have this album in stock. Suffice it to say that I have […]

Low is back with yet another undeniably fantastic alternative pop album. Drums and Guns marks their first venture into more electronic music, replacing the signature meloncholic guitars with keyboards, sythns, and drum machines. Here is the press release from their label Sub Pop records:
“Drums and Guns is the band’s […]

Soul Jazz keeps putting out Studio One collections, and they have yet to fail to live up to the high expectations they have set. Studio One, known as the Motown of Jamaica, was the soundsystem/label set up by Coxsone Dodd that virtually created and led the way for the development of Jamaican pop from ska […]
Anybody who missed this wacky trio of Philadelphia drum machine driven rock slingers last weekend at the Boot missed the boat (das boot). Though the crowd was small, everybody there was aware that something was happening (there was…a band was playing). And it was a magnificent sight to behold, vicariously living through Pony […]
Those hunks are Klaxions. They had an album come out on today and if you click on their photo, you can see everyone that had a release come out that day.
It is getting wicked intense with killer shows and amazing new music these days (rilly), and sometimes things get lost in the shuffle, taken for granted, or otherwise overlooked. Sometimes sustained awesomeness can be a double edge sword, such as when great bands are forgotten on the RTR blog and their fragile little hearts […]
The newest album from Animal Collective member Panda Bear is out now, and is easily one of the best of the year. Here is an excerpt from Paw Tracks Records website about the album…
“Animal Collective member Panda Bear (a.k.a. Noah Lennox) boldly returns with his long-awaited third solo record Person Pitch. Years in the making, […]
One of the most anticipated records of the year, the newest from Modest Mouse titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is going quick. This is the first album featuring guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths), and (in my opinion) the best album since The Moon and Antarctica. So, come get it.
Internal […]
