Because I’ve had so little time to peruse new music (pro tip: say the phrase “peruse new music” out loud…it has a certain quality) my IN tray is filling up. Here’s what I should be getting to but amn’t:

• asobi seksu . hush
• bishop allen . grrr
• black angels . passover
• bob mould . life and times
• elliot brood . ambassador
• fanfarlo . fanfarlo
• gaslight anthem . the ’59 sound
• great lake swimmers . lost channels
• mirah . (a)spera
• thermals . now we can see
• tindersticks . waiting for the moon
• william elliott whitmore . animals in the dark

Anything there I should skip? Anything that should jump to the top of the list?
