We Were Promised Jetpacks – In the Pit of the Stomach
Last year, We Were Promised Jetpacks followed their thunderous debut album with a decidedly less-thunderous EP. It begged the question: which direction will the band take in their next album? After listening to a few tracks from In the Pit of the Stomach here, they’ve clearly chosen more thunder.

Loney, Dear – Hall Music
It’s going to be tough for Loney, Dear to top his last album Dear John (which I reviewed here). I’ve listened to Hall Music a few times already but can’t say I’m particularly impressed. Which is okay because I’m pretty sure I felt the same way about Dear John initially. Stream “My Heart” at Myspace.

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Wolfroy Goes To Town
It seems like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy releases a new album every few months. This might be a slight exaggeration, but the dude is pretty prolific. Yet through it all the quality of music hasn’t fallen off. It may take me a few months to actually listen to Wolfroy Goes To Town, but when I do, I know I’ll be happy.

Sóley – We Sink
Sóley is a member of Seabear, which is one of my favorite Icelandic bands, so I had a feeling I’d like We Sink before I even listened to it. The album doesn’t disappoint. The music is delicate, gorgeous, and enchanting, much like the Icelandic countryside. Listen to “I’ll Drown” here.

Feist – Metals
Initially I didn’t think Feist’s latest album would make this list. I wasn’t particularly impressed by The Reminder: it was a little too poppy for my tastes. Yet for some reason I still decided to give Metals a listen. Boy am I glad I did! I especially like “Get It Wrong, Get It Right.” Grab the album for $5 at 7digital.
