– Featured Release –

Weezer: Black Album
Genre: Rock/Pop
Label: Crush Music/Atlantic

What Weezer will show up is always a fun question to ask prior to each album release.  Will they be the lovable losers of Pinkerton and Blue Album, the summer-lovers from White Album, or the pop pioneers from Hurley or Ratitude?  Weezer has taken many forms over their illustrious career, and from the funky dance pop inclinations of “Can’t Knock the Hustle” to the more traditional pop-rock vibe espoused by “High as a Kite”, their latest LP remains just as much of an enigma.  Good or bad, this will be an album worth hearing for the simple fact that it’s Weezer – and that means anything is possible…just ask the red album.

Anyway, here’s ‘High as a Kite’:

– Featured Release –

Copeland: Blushing
Genre: Indie-Pop/Emo/Rock
Label: Tooth & Nail

Copeland have never been the flashiest band.  They prefer to retreat into soft-spoken verses and piano-laden indie rock, employing experimental structuring and romantically-inclined whims.  After five albums, it’s telling that Copeland has been able to evoke such excitement out of the few songs they’ve streamed in advance of Blushing, which is currently postured to – quite possibly – eclipse the beauty of their previous discography.  It’s not that it’s necessarily taking a different approach, but there’s something about songs like ‘Pope’ that feel refreshingly original; it glows with the soft embers of spellbinding romanticism as well as an underlying sense of urgency.  If the entire album can match that kind of beauty, then we’re all undoubtedly in for a treat.
