'Sometimes as a performer, you can work a show where the audience, the venue, and the performer combine together to create a show capturing the organic reason I do comedy. You start out one way and end another. This was one of those shows. I hope you enjoy it - if not, don't tell anyone - remember what your mother always said, 'if you don't have anything nice to say....'' - Bobby Collins]]> Comedy, Live, DVD/Blu-ray Uproar / MVD http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/1/yes/Bonobo/Black+Sands+Remixed Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Black Sands came out in 2010 to almost universal critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success. Si Green, aka Bonobo, moved from being an underground producer of impeccable credentials to a poster boy for a new take on electronic music - contemporary and edgy but also soulful, song-based, sometimes lush but always emotional.

Black Sands Remixed gathers together a group of like-minded musicians and producers to interpret this classic album.]]> Club/Dance, Electronic Ninja Tune http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/2/yes/The+Chieftains/Voice+Of+Ages Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Voice Of Ages.

An imaginative collaboration featuring a dazzling collection of like-minded musical visionaries and kindred spirits, Voice Of Ages, produced by Paddy Moloney and T-Bone Burnett, features the Chieftains teaming with stars from the worlds of indie-rock (Bon Iver, the Decemberists, the Low Anthem), country and Americana (the Civil Wars, Pistol Annies, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Punch Brothers), Irish and Scottish folk (Imelda May, Lisa Hannigan, Paolo Nutini) and more.]]> Folk, Celtic, Adult Alternative Hear Music http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/3/yes/Cursive/I+Am+Gemini Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 I Am Gemini is the surreal and powerful musical tale of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers separated at birth. One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with a cast of supporting characters that includes a chorus of angels and devils, and twin sisters conjoined at the head.

Recorded in Omaha and mixed at Red Room (Seattle) with producer Matt Bayles, I Am Gemini marks the first time front man Tim Kasher, holding the completed story in mind, wrote album lyrics in a linear fashion, in order, from song 1 to song 13. The result is thirteen singularly cohesive song chapters that blend effortlessly into one unique narrative. The moody and playfully sinister I Am Gemini is Cursive's musically heaviest in years, with alternately muscular and angular guitars, pounding drums and driving bass.]]> Rock, Indie Rock Saddle Creek http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/4/yes/Dinosaur+JrPPERIODD/Bug+Live+At+The+9%2B30+Club%2B+In+The+Hands+Of+The+Fans+%28DVD%29 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Bug in its entirety at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC, June 2011. Experience the fans' joy as they witness a classic performance and meet their heroes face to face in an exclusive interview with the band.

Under the awesome direction of Dave Markey (The Year Punk Broke), In the Hands of the Fans brings the fans closer to the band and the music closer to you. Includes bonus footage of Henry Rollins speaking candidly to Markey about the band, and interviewing them on stage before the show.]]> Rock, Alternative, Live, DVD/Blu-ray Dinosaur Jr. Inc. / MVD http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/5/yes/Dirty+Ghosts/Metal+Moon Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500
Dirty Ghosts may be her new band, but it's the five-years-in-the-making product of a habit she just can't quit, a sound and vision that - despite numerous obstacles along the way - just had to be unleashed.

And, as this dead-cool debut ultimately proves, good things happen when you refuse to give up the ghost.]]> Rock, Alternative, Indie Rock, Adult Alternative Last Gang http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/6/yes/Isidore/Life+Somewhere+Else Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500
Eight years later Isidore has reappeared. Life Somewhere Else is a sprawling epic featuring another sterling vocal performance by Kilbey (perhaps his best ever) and Cain's sterling sonic alchemy. Though short enough to fit on a single compact disc, Life Somewhere Else is spread across four sides of 180-gram vinyl - the medium where the album's sequence is enjoyed best. Haunting and beautiful, Life Somewhere Else has a power beyond its corporeal form. It's a masterpiece.]]> Rock, Alternative, Adult Alternative Communicating Vessels http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/7/yes/Jim+White/Where+It+Hits+You Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Where It Hits You is as rich and diverse a record as Jim has ever produced. From the brooding dreamlike opener, 'Chase The Dark Away,' to the wild eyed stomp of 'Here We Go,' to the Beefheart-esque 'Infinite Mind,' to the Harvest-era Neil Young ringer 'My Brother's Keeper.'

Where It Hits You finds Jim in full musical stride, effortlessly blending genres and approaches in ways that sometimes boggle the mind. But as White's work has shown over the arc of his career, despite the experimental extremes he recklessly embraces, there's always a cohesive, singular identity that holds the divergent influences together. ]]> Americana, Adult Alternative Yep Roc http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/8/yes/Jonquil/Point+Of+Go+%28Vinyl%29 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Point of Go, on Dovecote Records (Wise Blood, Hooray For Earth).

The album follows their recently released split 7-inch single with Solid Gold Dragons (Jonquil bass/trumpet player Sam Scott), and their radiant One Hundred Suns EP, celebrated for its upbeat tempos and creative integration of afro and indie-pop.

Fronted by Hugo Manuel, who also performs under the solo moniker Chad Valley, the quartet will be at SXSW 2012, followed by US spring touring with Keep Shelly In Athens. ]]> Rock, Indie Rock, Adult Alternative, Vinyl Dovecote http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/9/yes/Kevn+Kinney/A+Good+Country+Mile Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 a good country mile, is the latest collaboration between longtime associates and friends Kevn Kinney (Drivin N Cryin) and Anton Fier (the Golden Palominos).

This ten track collection is a mix of new songs, a handful of reinterpretations of previously released Kinney and Drivin N Cryin material, and a couple of treasured cover tunes. Featured musicians include Anton Fier, Chris Masterson, Jim Campilongo, Andy Hess, Tony Scherr, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Jon Cowherd, Eleanor Masterson, Leslie Mendelson and Lianne Smith.]]> Rock, Americana, Adult Alternative Almost Loaded http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/10/yes/Moot+Davis/Man+About+Town Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Man About Town. Moot worked with Kenny Vaughn of Marty Stuart's band, the Fabulous Superlatives, many of whom played on the album.

'Kenny was great,' says Moot. 'He had a clear vision for the sound I was going for.'

Yet another highlight was the chance to work with Elizabeth Cook, Opry veteran and host of the Apron Strings show on Sirius-XM's Outlaw Country channel. She brings a very traditional vocal style to the track 'Crazy in Love with You.']]> Americana, Country Highway Kind http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/11/yes/No+Trigger/Tycoon Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Tycoon, No Trigger have compiled what is already being considered by many to be their greatest achievement to date, and an album sure to turn the entire punk rock community on its ear, again.

'Tycoon I think is right where we always wanted to be sonically.' says front-man Tom Rheault. 'The vocals are a lot heavier in spots than ever before, but the choruses are catchy and we have a bunch of interesting twists. We also did a bit more experimenting with structure and parts but it's all still No Trigger. Lyrically this record is the most personal record we have ever written.']]> Rock, Punk No Sleep http://www.newreleasesnow.com/song/0221_2012/12/yes/Santana/Live+At+Montreux+2011+%28DVD%2BBlu-ray%29 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0500 Guitar Heaven. This is the ultimate Santana live concert and absolutely not to be missed.

Special guests include Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and Cindy Blackman-Santana. Bonus features include interviews with the band and behind-the-scenes footage.

Produced by long-term collaborator John Reynolds, its ten tracks play like an encyclopedic definition of O'Connor's oeuvre: songs about love and loss, hope and regret, pain and redemption, anger and justice.

This is an album of consistently moving, exciting, brilliant, and beautiful songs built around Sinead's haunting voice. NPR's Ann Powers says it 'isn't just a return to form; it's a full-on revival']]> Rock, Alternative, Adult Alternative One Little Indian
