You chose a good week to go record shopping. That is where you’re headed next, right? There’s lots of good summer fare to fill your basket in in this week’s roundup of new releases. All of you KEXP listeners are going to want to pick up the latest from David Vandervelde, who just performed live during our Chicago broadcast earlier this month, as well as Télépathique, Issa Bagayogo, Conor Oberst, The Faint, and Brazilian Girls, and you should definitely check out the excellent debuts by The Airborne Toxic Event and Darker My Love, who were both just in town for the Capitol Hill Block Party. Another worthy debut comes from Correcto, a side project of Franz Ferdinand drummer Paul Thomson, and Clinic follows up their last full-length with a new b-side collection. Check out the full list on Largehearted Boy, and get out there!
