New album release Tuesday. As we venture deeper into November, it’s becoming more of a holiday albums and greatest hits time of year. There’s still plenty good out there though. This week sees new releases from Annie Williams, Carter Tanton, Caveman, Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover of “Community” fame), The Do, Drake, Ed Hale, Goldmund, Korallreven, Los Campesinos!, Odonis Odonis, R.E.M. (greatest hits), and live records from Sigur Ros and Tegan and Sara. There’s a couple EPs from Crystal Stilts and Races out this week as well, along with Can’s 40th Anniversary reissue of their amazing “Tago Mago”. So you’ve got those to look at possibly purchasing. In today’s Pick Your Poison, be sure to consider downloading tracks from Apparat, Gary Go, Ice Choir, Rams’ Pocket Radio, Sick Figures and Zambri. Yes, you saw right, there’s an mp3 from Chris Carrabba aka Dashboard Confessional below. He’s covering R.E.M. and it’s not horrible. Also doing a cover, Cuff the Duke’s cover of Dum Dum Girls’ “Always Looking” is pretty solid as well. In the Soundcloud section, be sure to stream a song from Lo-Fi-Fnk if you’re so inclined.
