Music: 02/05/11

Avi Buffalo's Avi Buffalo ** - A good indie debut but not mind-shattering.  Die Antwoord's $O$ * - This is absolute garbage.  The Gaslight Anthem's American Slang *** - The best description is from Spin: they are the "new Bruce" of 2010.  This summer will be playing next time I'm driving a convertible.  Glasser's Ring *** - A lovely, mesmerizing debut for fans of Bjork & Bat for Lashes.  The Go Team's Rolling Blackouts **** - This album reminds me of recess during elementary school.  Their best album to date.  Best album of 2011 thus far.  Iron & Wine's Kiss Each Other Clean *** - A little more experimental than in previous.  Always consistently great.  But it'll be hard to top The Shepherd's DogRegina Spektor's Begin to Hope (2006) **** - Don't know why I'm just getting to this album now.  Fantastic.  A cross between Fiona Apple & Sara Bareilles.
