    Updated: 2011-05-27 21:26:16
    “Full of airy vocals and synths, the album sounds as if it could lift off at any moment if not for the drum thumps tethering it down.” –The Boston Phoenix Check Our Catalog

  • The Baseball Project: Volume 2: High and Inside

    Updated: 2011-05-27 21:16:07
    “Volume 2 finds their passionate fandom and astute study at work once again, producing homage and history that ranges across a roster of players past (Mark “the Bird’’ Fidrych) and present (Ichiro Suzuki), famous (Reggie Jackson) and obscure (Carl Mays, the only player in major league history to kill a man with a pitch).” –The [...]

  • Ray Davies: See My Friends

    Updated: 2011-05-27 21:03:25
    “The most soulful results arise in his duets with women: an exquisitely bluesy “Long Way From Home” with Lucinda Williams, a great bit of lead vocal role-swapping with Paloma Faith in “Lola” and “Dead End Street” with the brassy Amy McDonald.” –Los Angeles Times Check Our Catalog

  • Steel Magnolia: Steel Magnolia

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:58:40

  • Panic at the Disco: Vices & Virtues

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:50:10
    “From the opening chimes of The Ballad of Mona Lisa to the a-ha-tinged strings of Memories, Vices & Virtues is a breath-taking voyage, which ends in the brilliantly bonkers baroque stomp of Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met…)…one can’t help but smile when a record is this brilliantly bombastic.” –BBC Music Check Our Catalog

  • Over The Rhine: The Long Surrender

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:40:32
    “Their sound wasn’t far removed from the American heartland to begin with, but these days it’s getting close to Tom Waits territory, what with the barely-in-tune pianos, the mandolins, the slide guitars, the humid-summer-evening tempos, and Karin Bergquist’s increasingly smeary approach to sung pitch. There’s also more than a touch of Lucinda Williams in her [...]

  • Dom: Sun Bronzed Greek Gods

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:28:04
    “Worcester’s Dom…likely to be our biggest musical export this year.The seven songs on this EP, now being re-released onto the bigger stage through Astralwerks, are the epitome of the predominant contemporary mercurialism, where lo-fi electronic retro-futurism meets psyched-out garage.” –The Boston Globe Check Our Catalog

  • Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis: Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:21:28
    “Nelson’s singing and guitar playing have always fallen well to the jazz side of country all along anyway, and he’s hardly been a garden variety hat act during his long career, while Marsalis has long worked to reintroduce jazz as a viable popular form in American music. It’s about synthesis, really, and so it makes [...]

  • Mary Mary: Something Big

    Updated: 2011-05-27 20:14:18
    “Mary Mary still know how to make an entrance, opening their sixth album with a raucous stomper — the album’s title track — that samples the Jackson 5′s “Mama’s Pearl.” The following track, “Something Bigger,” increases the energy with super-charged marching-band percussion.” –All Music Guide Check Our Catalog
