Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash (2008)

The latest and greatest from Mr. Malkmus and his Jicks. This album is pretty good overall and seems to be a bit reminiscent of the Pavement years, or his self-titled solo album, which is fantastic. If you are a fan in any way, shape, or form, grab this.

Coconut Records - Nighttiming (2007)

Upon request by Admiral Fitz.

When Jason Schwartzman isn't working with Wes Andersen, or playing drums for Phantom Planet, he is writing some of the catchiest songs around under the cameo Coconut Records. This album is really well done , with catchy melancholy lyrics that manage to stick themselves in ones head all day. My personal favorite is the last track on the album, "West Coast," as Schwartzman pleads to some lover that he wishes he could take her with him in his suitcase, but alas, he cannot and must be on his way.

Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (2007)

Bradford Cox presents his solo experiment while his band, Deerhunter, from Atlanta GA, take a little break. This album holds a mesh of sounds and vocals that sound very much like some of the early 90s shoegazer I have loved for years. Despite the similarity, this is fresh and deserves multiple listens, if you can push yourself past the ambiance.
