Penny Sparkle Remixes Douban
Blonde Redhead genre: Electronic
release date 2011-07-12 publisher: 4AD
Accumulated over the past nine months following the September release of that record, the six remixes include efforts from an impressive cast of artists. Included amongst them is the Bon Iver-affilated Gayngs with a version of 'Here Sometimes', with a footwork-heavy edit from Becoming Real and the minimal pulse of Pantha du Prince offering different takes on that same track. Salem also provide a typically euphoric blackening of 'Penny Sparkle', while Games showcase their love for the blown-out fringes of 80s R&B on 'My Plants Are Dead'.

Oneirology Douban
Cunninlynguists genre: Hip Hop
release date 2011-03-22 publisher: Apiec.
Starting with their third album, A Piece of Strange, which dropped in 2006, CunninLynguists began tackling some heavier topics, such as racism, self-hatred, and violence. There was still a light air of wit here and there, but this trio was looking to focus on the more serious side of life, which continued with 2007's Dirty Acres. The fans who loved CunninLynguists' goofier style were quickly appeased, though, with the two Strange Journey mixtape-style albums in 2009. But for their fifth proper album, it appears Kno, Deacon the Villain, and Natti are returning to the serious subject matter. As the album title indicates, Oneirology will deal with the science of dreaming, from the stages of sleep to dreaming disorders and everything in between.
500 special limited edition 2CD copies were pressed directly from QN5 for preorder.
Available a week before street date on Bandcamp

Our Blood Douban
Richard Buckner genre: Folk
release date 2011-01-01 publisher: Merge
Since 2006’s Meadow, fans of Richard Buckner have been clamoring for new material and wondering what was keeping their hero from releasing the new songs he would perform on the road. Well, it’s a long story!
First, there was the score to a film that never happened. Then there was a brief brush with the law over a headless corpse in a burned-out car that had all eyes in Buckner’s small hometown in upstate New York turned toward him and his long-suffering truck. Shortly after a move to a safer, less popular corpse dumping ground, the death of his tape machine led to yet another reboot. After Richard called in pedal steel and percussion players and put new mixes on his laptop, his new “safer” place was burglarized. Goodbye, laptop.
Buckner says: “Eventually, the recording machine was resuscitated and some of the material was recovered. Cracks were patched. Parts were redundantly re-invented. Commas were moved. Insinuations were re-insinuated until the last percussive breaths of those final OCD utterances were expelled like the final heaves of bile, wept-out long after the climactic drama had faded to a somber, blurry moment of truth and voilà!, the record was done, or, let us be clear, abandoned like the charred shell of a car with a nice stereo.”
