NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK: SUFJAN STEVENS’ ‘THE AGE OF ADZ’ FOR THE $9.99 RIGHT PRICE ONLY AT THE RX!

BUY THE CD (ONLY $9.99!) HERE

With his sixth proper album, Sufjan Stevens does battle with what we’ve come to expect from a proper Sufjan Stevens album. This time, instead of painstakingly humanizing the locations, historical inhabitants, and trivia of a certain slab of America, he’s more concerned with his own state of mind. Banjos are out; moody electronics, deep bass, and drums that burst like geysers are in. The lengthiest song title on his last LP, 2005’s Illinois, was 53 words long; here, that same superlative goes to a tune called “I Want to Be Well”. He’s whispering less, hollering more. And at the climax of The Age of Adz, the devout Christian and poster boy for mannered indie-dude sensitivity shouts, “I’m not fuckin’ around!” no less than 16 times. Believe him.

Yet, there is no mistaking this as a work by the Detroit-born, Brooklyn-dwelling overachiever. Trilling flutes, meticulously arranged choirs, and an overarching sense of hugeness are still apparent. The record’s last track, “Impossible Soul”, is a five-part suite that lasts more than 25 minutes and boasts harps, horns, blips, Auto-Tuned vocals, a twee-dance breakdown, some cheerleader call-and-response, and even a little trad-folk guitar picking, you know, for kicks. That single track bulges with more engaging ideas than most artists could muster in a career, and there’s no one else on earth that could’ve come up with it. Even the record’s glitched backdrop isn’t entirely unprecedented; Stevens’ pre-breakout 2001 instrumental album Enjoy Your Rabbit could be looked back on as a sketchbook for what would become The Age of Adz. So as Stevens’ current restlessness fights it out with his past accomplishments, the listener ends up winning. — Pitchfork

NEW RELEASE(S) OF THE WEEK: BLACK ANGELS, OF MONTREAL – $9.99 EACH!

The Black Angels
Phosphene Dream
BUY CD HERE

The group’s signature noise – cheap organs, driving rhythms, guitars bathed in enough reverb to soak a blanket – is intact, and there are enough of their usual scowling nuggets (“The Sniper,” “Bad Vibrations”) to satisfy those looking for the same fix. But the Black Angels introduce just enough variation in their still-potent formula to show growth, even as they hold to their own tradition. That makes Phosphene Dream not just compelling, but damn near brilliant. – Austinist

Of Montreal
False Priest
BUY CD HERE
ENTER TO WIN PRIZE PACK HERE

False Priest is unmistakably a creation of the post-Hissing Fauna Of Montreal. Percolating basslines weave through every track, while Barnes, sounding more comfortable than ever in his Prince-ly falsetto, pushes into increasingly purple territories. Aided by guest vocalists Janelle Monáe and Solange Knowles, producer Jon Brion succeeds in pulling the bandleader out of his own head, but he’s yet to fully shed Skeletal Lamping’s occasionally frustrating flightiness. This time, however, Barnes waits for his songs to end before flitting from stomping glam (“Coquet Coquette”) to Berlin Trilogy creepy-crawlies (“Around The Way”) to trunk-rattling P-Funk bump. On False Priest, the spirit of collaboration does for Of Montreal on record what it has done for the band’s live show, building a thrilling, carnival-like atmosphere around Barnes’ fractured perspective. – Onion A.V. Club
