An extra-long list this week, since we seem to have worked our way through more stuff than usual. A lot of good stuff, too, I’d say, with one or two exceptions, and a tremendous new mystery record that’s coming out in the summer and which hasn’t, I think, been announced as yet – hence the necessary evasiveness. A quick thanks, before I roll this one out, to Arbouretum’s Dave Heumann, who posted on the review of Arbouretum’s recent London show; nice that they enjoyed it as much as we did. 1 Robert Johnson – The Centennial Collection (Legacy) 2 Big Youth – Screaming Target (Sunspot) 3 Ty Segall – Good bye Bread (Drag City) 4 WhoMadeWho – Knee Deep (Kompakt) 5 Metronomy – The English Riviera (Because) 6 The Black Swans – Don’t Blame The Stars (Misra) 7 Elle Osborne – So Slowly Slowly She Got Up (Folk Police) 8 Blanck Mass – Blanck Mass (Rock Action) 9 My Morning Jacket – Circuital (V2) 10 The Outsiders – CQ (RPM) 11 Roy Harper – Songs Of Love And Loss Volumes 1 And 2 (Believe) 12 Bill Callahan – Apocalypse (Drag City) 13 Huntsville – For Flowers, Cars And Merry Wars (Hubro) 14 Mystery Record 15 The Oscillation – Veils (All Time Low) 16 Sebastian – Total (Ed Banger) 17 Jesse Sparhawk & Eric Carbonara – Sixty Strings (VHF) 18 Howlin Wolf – The Howlin Wolf Album (Get On Down) 19 Gang Gang Dance – Eye Contact (4AD) 20 Tamikrest – Toumastin (Glitterhouse) 21 Moon Duo – Mazes (Souterrain Transmissions) 22 The People’s Temple – Sons Of Stone (Hozac) 23 Barn Owl – Lost In The Glare (Thrill Jockey) 24 Suuns – Zeroes QC (Secretly Canadian) 25 Arborea – Red Planet (Strange Attractors Audio House)
