New Release Roundup for May 20

Featured new releases for the week of May 20, 2008:

MP3: So Everyone (Demo)

Islands - Arm's Way
Overloaded with thick production and darker than their debut, Islands still stay reasonably eclectic on their sophomore effort.

Mates of State - Re-arrange Us
The cutest married couple in indie rock ditch the vintage organs and opt for acoustic piano and a more low-key approach on their latest.

Indian Jewelry - Free Gold!
Houston's Indian Jewelry combines droning synths, drum machine and guitar feedback for an updated Velvet Underground feel.

Sybris - Into The Trees
Angela Mullenhour calls to mind a slightly more restrained Karen O over a setting of early '90s "alternative rock"-- that's what we use to call it.

MP3: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - "So Everyone" (Demo)

Bonnie Prince Billy Hearing Will Oldham in his most minimal, lo-fi state can't help but render us nostalgic for those Palace records of the early '90s. This hissing little blueprint gives us a taste of what Oldham has in store for us on his forthcoming Lie Down in the Light—due in May on Drag City.

Video: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - "The Seedling"

Following the hype surrounding the video's three-day media blitz, Drag City has unveiled the video for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "The Seedling"—from his most recent album, The Letting Go. We didn't think it possible, but it actually manages to be weirder than the trailer.

Video: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - "The Seedling" Trailer

We love good satire. Who doesn't? Drag City and Will Oldham show their sense of humor about internet-driven hype with this ominous "trailer" for Bonnie's forthcoming video for "The Seedling"—which debuts in a whopping three days. The suspense is killing us!

Staff picked track of the day

"Recorded entirely under solar power," Brightblack Morning Light like things like tee-pees, headbands and most likely hallucinogenic drugs. More solar power to 'em. Their second album of slow motion hippie blues, Motion to Rejoin, is due September 23rd on Matador. [DOWNLOAD]

Featured Review

Consider Rook essential summer listening. Like your "Summer Reading" list, Rook isn't really "summer-y" at all. It's heavy, dense, dramatic and beautiful and dark. Four of those five adjectives actually DO apply to summer, come to think of it... - jimtarnation  [READ REVIEW]
