Eels (w/Strings) – Live At Town Hall Not bad. E's melancholy gets appropriate chamber pop treatment
Arab Strap – Last Romance Although I've heard a number of their songs, this is actually the first Arab Strap album that I've listened to in its entirety. Delightfully profane.
APB – Something to Believe In (20th Anniversary edition) One of those albums that I've had and loved on vinyl that I was waiting to be reissued, and here it is! With a bonus disc of live songs, outtakes and rarities to boot
Maximo Park – Missing Songs Nearly as good as A Certain Trigger
Morning After Girls – s/t Hmmm. Not making a big impression on first listen
Kelley Stoltz – Below the Branches A really, really solid pop record. I can see playing this one a lot.
Sarah Harmer – I'm a Mountain I've like her pop-rock efforts. This one has got a country/bluegrass feel. Might sound good on Prairie Home Companion, but it's a bit boring here.
Destroyer – Destroyer's Rubies I'm surprised how much I like this. Dan Bejar's voice takes getting used to, but he's winning me over
Ray Davies – Other People's Lives Hit and miss, but about what I expected.
