Swell Maps : Trip to Marineville

Re-release of Maps’ debut unearths noteworthy gems.

Swell Maps : Jane From Occupied Europe

You know the Swell Maps when ya hear ’em.

Mike Doughty : Skittish/Rockity Roll

Dual reissues by former Soul Coughing frontman

No. 9 : Micro Films

Like a Japanese Brian Eno for a new generation.

Gravenhurst : Black Holes in Sand

Not so much an EP as a mini-album.

Ninja Gun : Smooth Transitions

There are no ninjas, nor guns on this record.

Holly Golightly : Slowly but Surely

It should have been called short but sweet.

The Mighty Imperials : Thunder Chicken

Welcome to the international house of groove.

U2 : How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

Doing it family style for 25 years.

AM : Francophiles and Skinny Ties

Twenty minutes of cool mod-pop.
