Almost a month into 2012, and we have a pretty significant week of new music releases. Per usual, I’ve tried to link some reviews to each that contains at least a track or two for you to hear. Give it a listen today, and then head down to your local record store to pick up some new music this week.
While I’m pretty excited about all the releases on this list, I’m going to give you my favorites of this week to start with. I would start with Chairlift, Cloud Nothings, Craig Finn, Grace Woodroofe, Porcelain Raft, Rhyton, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
