Featured Album:
Modeselektor - Happy Birthday!
The German duo's follow up to 2005's Hello Mom! has received arguably more attention for its guest stars (TTC, Puppetmastaz, Otto von Schirach, and some bloke named Thom Yorke) than for the music, which isn't half bad. Think M.I.A. without her trademark yelps, which, if you're me, might go down easier than the real thing. You can purchases Happy Birthday! from your favorite record store or online retailer starting September 11.

Albums Unleased!
Featured Album:
The Deadly Syndrome - The Ortolan
Are you tired of waiting for a new Wolf Parade album, or miss the endearing sounds of the first Arcade Fire EP? If you answered yes to any of the following, you're in luck. No, the new Wolf Parade album is a ways off still, and the Arcade Fire appear intent on maturing their sound. Instead, you might consider giving The Deadly Syndrome's debut album, the Ortolan (Dim Mak), a listen or ten. Despite the obvious Wolf Parade/Arcade Fire/any Montreal band ca. 2004 sound, the few songs I've heard are extremely catchy and well worth the listen. Curious? Head over to the bands MySpace page, or download their song "Eucalyptus ". The Ortolan hits stores on September 11.

Albums Unleashed!
Looking Ahead:
Liars - Liars
Normally I try to feature an album I'm slightly familiar with, but this time I'm stumped. But with a band that has flirted with witch themed concept albums and pioneering dance-punk alike, the only you can expect is the unexpected, and maybe that the album's release date will be pushed back yet again. Yes, that's right, it now appears that Liars will be released on September 4th instead of its initial scheduled date of, well, today, which is still the date listed on their official web page. Far be it from me to call them...ah forget it. You already know where I'm taking that one. Just read the list.

Albums Unleashed!
Looking Ahead:
Caribou - Andorra
Poor Dan Snaith. First, he has to change his band name from Manitoba to Caribou two albums in to his career. In addition to that nonsense, his first release under the Caribou moniker, in 2005, had to compete with the likes of Kanye West, M.I.A., Rilo Kiley, Architecture in Helsinki, and the New Pornographers (to name a few) for attention. Flash forward to August 21st of this year, and look who is raining on Mr. Snaith's parade once again. Despite a slew of late Summer/Fall releases that are sure to generate publicity (and maybe even rock a little), I'm certain that Andorra will get its due, even if it is only from me.
