Tuesday's New Releases - May 15th

We pick out the week's best new music, so you don't have to.
Beach House - Bloom
People that like Beach House, really like Beach House, and it's easy to see why. It's lush, atmospheric, and kind of mushy -- the perfect combination for the hopeless romantic in your life. The single "Myth" (which would be right at home on the "Drive" soundtrack) is streaming on the band's website.
Best Coast - The Only Place
Surf-pop with a feminine touch, Best Coast bottled up the California sun and pressed it onto a CD in 2010's Crazy for You. In The Only Place, lead singer and songwriter Bethany Cosentino sticks with familiar territory -- the first single "The Only Place" is a loving paean to surf, sun, and babes.
mewithoutYou - Ten Stories
Philadelphia's mewithoutYou surprised fans with their last release, 2009's It's All Crazy! It's All False! ...

Since cementing their place on our airwaves with their catchy hit "Sweet Disposition," The Temper Trap hunkered down for awhile, waiting three years before releasing a new album. Well, the wait is over, as their sophomore disc, The Temper Trap is set to be released June 5th on Glassnote. If you simply can't wait any longer, well you're in luck - Rolling Stone has the album streaming in full on their site.
The mag offers some high praise for the album, noting: "Kicking off with the first single "Need Your Love," The Temper Trap set the tone for the record with bombastic synths, barreling drums and piercing guitars."
If you like what you hear (and honestly, how couldn't you?) you can catch The Temper Trap when they headline our 17th Birthday Concert Series June 11th at Stubb's.

Rocky Votolato
Friday May 11, Lambert's 10:00p
