Some good stuff this week but only one top recommendation as I have not been able to listen to about half this list yet.

• Adams, Ryan And The Cardinals “Follow The Lights” EP (Lost Highway) – Includes an Alice In Chains cover…yup.
• Anchors For Arms “Listen.React.” (Lobster)
• Castanets “In The Vines” (Asthmatic Kitty)
• Crime In Stereo “Crime In Stereo Is Dead” (Bridge 9) – Heard a lot of good stuff about this release…I am listening to it for the first time as I type this.
• The Forms “The Forms” (Threespheres) – Long awaited second album. Continues along the same path as the first which is definitely a good thing in my book.
• Jesu “Lifelines” (Hydra Head) – Awesome collection of past recordings from the metal/shoegaze behemoth.
• Karate “595″ (Southern) – Live document from this very underrated indie rock band. RIP.
• The Kindness Kind “A Novel” (Self-Released) – Impressive debut from this female-fronted indie rock band from Seattle.
• Lazarus “Hawk Medicine” (Temporary Residence)
• Phosphorescent “Pride” (Dead Oceans)
• Saturday Looks Good To Me “Fill Up The Room” (K)
