The Walkmen: Heaven

One of the hardest working indie rock bands is back with their new album, Heaven, on June 5.  The preview seems to indicate that this album will focus more on instrumentation, mood, and atmosphere, then the quick 3 minute pop/rock songs of Lisbon.  The best thing about being a fan of this band is that every two years they release a fantastic album and after seeing this preview I am anticipating this release so much more.

Pitchfork interviewed the band about the new album and has some live previews of a few new tracks.

Killer Mike: R.A.P. Music

I've listened to a few Killer Mike song but mostly know him because of guest appearances on other peoples tracks.  His latest album, R.A.P. Music comes out in May and is produced in its entirity by El-P, who is definitely my favorite Hip-Hop producer.  He is the man that is responsible for the sonic palette of the greatest (in my opinion) Rap album, The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox.  Below you can check out the first two singles from R.A.P. Music.

This man is a legend.
