Now Downloading: New Releases 03.16.10

The week of SXSW always ends up being a bit thinner. This week sees the latest from Drive-By Truckers, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The Whigs, Devon Sproule, Neon Trees, The Disco Biscuits and the soundtrack to the live concert film for the White Stripes.

Playlist: New Releases 03.16.10


Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-Do
Stream / Purchase [mp3]

Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-DoThe title, The Big To-Do, is a bit of a misnomer, as this might be the smallest record that Drive-By Truckers have released. Calling it a 'smaller to-do' isn't meant to be critical, more that there's no concept, no double-album and nothing terribly difficult to get into. Supposedly, DBT have a double-album worth of material but instead chose to release the more accessible half now, with the rest coming either later this year or early 2011. I think it's a wise choice, as this collection of songs works well together and might do well to expand their listener base beyond their current cult circle. Of course, there was still room here for the difficult highlight “The Wig He Made Her Wear," which deals weaves a tale of spousal homicide.
