Steve Hackett

Live Rails

2CD Set.

Live in 2010.

Perennial Genesis favorites such as the mighty ‘Firth Of Fifth’ sit alongside solo classics, while more recent material, with much of Out Of The Tunnel’s Mouth now included, demonstrate that Steve is an artist still at the very top of his game.

Supported by some of the best musicians on the planet, Steve’s unique guitar work remains the fulcrum on which this challenging and exhilarating show is balanced.

Fleet Foxes

Helplessness Blues

Helplessness Blues is the anticipated follow-up to Fleet Foxes’ 2008 debut. Recorded and co-produced by fellow Seattleite Phil Ek, it expands the band’s baroque folk songs by focusing heavily on rhythm and groove, although Fleet Foxes’ signature harmonies are also on full display.

Gorillaz

The Fall

The hook to The Fall is that it s the first high-profile album to be recorded entirely on Apple s iPad, Damon Albarn assembling these 15 song sketches as the Gorillaz tour rolled across America in the fall of 2010.

Stevie Nicks

In Your Dreams

In Your Dreams finds Stevie Nicks weaving her signature vocals through a mix of Bob Dylan-inspired folk songs, Italian love ballads, and rock anthems.

Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell co-wrote two tracks, while Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard shared production duties.

Nicks’ first solo album in a decade, In Your Dreams was issued in spring 2011, nearly ten years to the day after Trouble in Shangri-La’s 2001 release.

The Feelies

Here Before

The first album in nearly 20 years from the Post-Punk veterans. Alongside founding members Glenn Mercer and Bill Million is The Feelies line up first featured on 1986’s The Good Earth: Brenda Sauter, Stanley Demeski and Dave Weckerman.

Black Francis

Abbabubba

With the Pixies and as Frank Black, Black Francis often tucked away some of his best songs as B-sides, and the collection Abbabubba reveals that this is still the case.

Foo Fighters

Wasting Light

Wasting Light marks the official return of Pat Smear, who rejoined Foo Fighters’ touring lineup in 2006 but hasn’t played on the band’s studio albums since 1997.

It also features a cameo by Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl’s former Nirvana bandmate.

Rather than focus on the personnel, though, Wasted Light shines a light on the band’s melodic hard rock, which is captured in analog sound by Butch Vig.

Raveonettes

Raven In the Grave

After two great albums that redefined and nearly perfected their noisy girl group and razorblades wall of sound, the Raveonettes switch things up on their fifth album, Raven in the Grave.

In keeping with the title, the album trades out the fizzy, candy-sweet element of their songs and sound for something darker and gloomier.
