New Music Releases - Week of May 10th
The Dead Weather’s sophomore release Sea of Cowards headlines a strong release week, which also features As I Lay Dying and The National.
The Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards: ‘Sea Of Cowards’ is a robust and vigorous second act, filled with primal, bone quaking rock rhythms and the same stellar urban blues and throbbing sleaze as its predecessor; but this time The Dead Weather push their sound even further, brilliantly building upon their raw chemistry to create the most vital sounding album you’ll hear all year.
As I Lay Dying - The Powerless Rise: 2010 album from the Southern California Metal/Hardcore crossover act. Powerless Rise was produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed by legendary producer Colin Richardson.
The National - High Violet: High Violet, the new full-length record by the National, is a nervy, melodic, explosive and beautiful set of songs that find the band at the height of their collaborative powers. The music is wide-ranging in its moods, by turns intimate and rough, expansive and spare, full of stark angles and atmosphere. Berninger’s singing wild, half-broken, sly evokes a feeling of being haunted, by love, by paranoia, by something just out of reach. High Violet may be The National’s most thematically twisted record to date but it somehow also manages to be their most infectious and immediate.
