Great new releases to compliment this freakish, sunny Seattle weekend!  Yo La Tengo, Mount Eerie, The Decemberists and Hot Snakes (damn its a rocker!) are the big picks for the week.  

Yo La Tengo - There's A Riot Going On

it’s gorgeous and elusive, the perfect expression of Yo La Tengo’s blending of ambience and rock classicism

The Decemberists - I'll Be Your Girl

The Decemberists shake up their artisanal folk rock on I'll Be Your Girl

Hot Snakes - Jericho Sirens

The next time someone says to you that 'guitar music is dead' just point them in the direction of Swami John Reis and Rick Froberg..

Mount Eerie - Now Only

The expansive companion album to last year’s A Crow Looked At Me is no less a marvel.
