New album by Dinosaur Jr.! Not much more needs to be said about that. It should be on top of everyone’s CD stack this week. Never mind the bad band names on the rest — Lord Cut-Glass, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Amazing Baby, Spinnerette, Deer Tick, Sunset Rubdown, Pete Yorn (sorry, Pete!) — there’s actually a lot a great music landing in record stores today. Lord Cut-Glass, for instance, is former Delgados frontman Alun Woodward; God Help the Girl is a bunch of songs penned by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian and sung by a variety of female vocalists; and you probably already know that Sunset Rubdown is a project of Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug. Deer Tick’s latest fits right in there with The Godfather, Part 2, and The Empire Strikes Back as one of those sophomore efforts that surpasses an already great original. Tom Brosseau, Foreign Born, The Antlers (remastered), Future of the Left, Patterson Hood, Hockey, Tortoise, and Regina Spektor are other artists of high interest this week.
