ASAP Rocky - Purple Swag
First heard of him on the Mishka blog but now hes back with a white girl mouthing the N word!
My favorite track, Wassup prod. by Clams Casino
Get High
His EP, Deep Purple was a free release so make sure to give it a listen ~_~

Also just listened to The Decemberists - The King Is Dead that I've had since forever but had completely forgotten about it (the modern days of music piracy when you even forget about what you just got eh), and while it was a very pleasant listen overall, tbh right by the end of some of the songs I got bored of them, so I guess this album unfortunately doesn't have a lot of replay value, at least not when you try to listen to it frequently - I could be wrong, but either way I myself won't try listening to it often so I can get the best out of it next time as well.
ICE AGE - NEW BRIGADE
i'll do an in-depth review later but for now all you need to know is that punk is now in the hands of a cavalcade of 17 year old dutch kids

handsome furs - sound kapital
sorry for the slightly nsfw, but it's an album cover and hardly deserving of a hide tag
handsome furs are my definition of a fun band, whether listening to them casually or at their live performances the mood that they put me is rapturous at best and jolly at worst.
whilst this may not be their strongest release, it's definitely solid and damage stands out as being one of HF tracks to go to in the future.
as a side note, dan boeckner's voice actually sounds like that live, it's amazing.

holy shit smogon was mentioned on pitchfork
just want to say that as someone who absolutely loved Fair to Midland's Fables, and has been impatiently waiting for anchors and arrows for the past 3 years (i had the demo versions of musical chairs and a loophole in limbo on repeat for a few months), the wait was absolutely worth it.
i'd say the biggest qualm i had with Fables was that everything was too similar and blended together at many points. i listened to the album hundreds of times, but sometimes had trouble identifying which song i was currently listening to if it wasn't one of the 4-5 i occasionally gave extra listens to. with the new album, every song has a unique, distinct sound, while still remaining obviously "fair to midland." the album is fantastic and definitely solidified fair to midland's place as one of my favorite bands.

My favorite album release this year was 'I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone' from Maybeshewill (2 songs linked below)
They may be fairly unknown(certainly in the USA) but they make really amazing music, definitely check out if you enjoy instrumental, electronic music.
Critical Distance
Farewell Sarajevo

they are aiming for early 2012 i heard
"Sunset in July" off 311's new album "Universal Pulse"
I saw them in concert a few days ago, and they played several tracks from their new album that was just released a week ago. It's their strongest release since From Chaos, I'd say. Any 311 fans out there?

Two People In A Room - Two People In A Room
Two People In A Room is a Berlin-based ambient/drone duo formed by Michelle Hughes & René Margraff in September 2009. I had never heard of them until this album, which captured a certain day of my life instantly. Ambient music needs to be very descriptive in order to penetrate into the unconscious of the listener. There are no vocals, barely any melodies even. The music needs to create an atmosphere so vivid that it fills the entire room with its spirit, yet it must go unnoticed as the shadows over a dirt path - it cannot interfere with your thought process.

new bomb the music industry! album came out a couple days ago. as always i didn't really like it at first, then after about 5 listens it really grew on me and now i love it. i don't think it's necessarily as good as scambles, but it's definitely a keeper... but then again i hated scrambles when it first came out and it ended up being my favorite btmi! album. hmmmm definitely a grower.
available for free (along with btmi!'s entire back catalog) here: http://quoteunquoterecords.com/qur051.htm
they're my favorite band so i somewhat biasedly strongly recommend. not for everyone i guess but its free,what are you gonna do ask for your money back?
I've already loved David Cook's new album, and Journey's was pretty good too. According to Metactitic, Nickelback, Aerosmith, Adam Lambert, and U2 are due out for new albums by the end of the year, those'll probably have some good stuff. Also, if "Up All Night" is anyhing to judge by, there should be some good to be had on Blink-182's upcoming album, Neighborhoods (to be released Septrember 27th).
