This week is a bit out of control for new releases. I tried my hardest to narrow them down, but there are just too many great new records to fit into one post, so I’m splitting it into two. I’ll give you five records each day (and a couple of bonus picks). The second…

Here’s another tour announcement we’re floored about! It’s been almost 15 years since enigmatic frontman Jeff Mangum disbanded Neutral Milk Hotel, shortly after the release of their classic album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. In the subsequent years, Mangum essentially retired from the public eye, much to the frustration of fans. With only the occasional contribution to…
