Out in the U.S. on Tuesday
Here's the notable stuff that's out in the U.S. on Tues May 6th...
The Republic Tigers - Keep Color [Vid above. Album stream. Very good debut from Kansas City 5-piece featuring ex-The Golden Republic guitarist.]
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement [Album stream. Surprisingly good debut from Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) & Miles Kane (The Rascals).]
The Long Blondes - Couples [Vid. The 2nd album from this female-fronted Sheffield 5-piece has quite a different sound than their debut.]
IAMX - The Alternative [Vid. 2nd album from Chris Corner (ex-Sneaker Pimps) finally gets a U.S. release.]
That Shadow Puppets album was a slight disappointment for me, I was expecting even more. What's your favourite tune on it? Mine's My Mistakes Were Made For You.

On the Shaddow Puppets album my favs (other than the single) are probably:
"Standing Next To Me"
"Calm Like You"
"The Meeting Place"
Love that 60s pop sound with the sweeping strings. Some of the tracks are kinda like what The Coral promised to grow into, but never did!
I actually like this album better than either Arctic Monkeys album, which makes sense since it's more my style.
