Lots of great new music to listen to this week, starting with the newest release from Alanis Morissette. It’s been four years since she released her last album, 2004's So-Called Chaos, and many changes have occurred in her personal life, digitally reflected on Flavors of Entanglement.
She teamed up with Guy Sigsworth who has previously worked with Madonna and Bjork, to create music that is both danceable and highly energetic. Who would have imagined an electronic Alanis album?
Other noteworthy releases this week include two new Cure singles, “Freakshow” and its B-side “All Kinds of Stuff”. These tracks form the second installment of the Cure’s marketing plan to debut a new single on the 13 of every month leading up to the September release of their new album.
Can’t get enough of Groove Armada? This week they release a new remix package for single “Get Down” with not one but 10 alternative versions. The original appears on their incredible album Soundboy Rock.
The Canadian edition of iTunes features the new album by 80’s throwback Sam Sparro. This Australian electronica wizard has had tremendous success in the UK with his fantastic first single “Black and Gold”, which coincidently is also the free single of the week.
Icelandic phenomenon Sigur Ros have pre-released their album on the Canadian store which also has the spotlight on Electronic Music this week featuring the new release from Tiestro – In Search of Sunrise Volume 7, Asia.
Other new dance albums available this week include Flying Lotus’ trippy debut album Los Angles, Re-Creation from Naked Music and Volume 15 from Café Del Mar, just in time for summer.
