New Releases for September 28, 2010…

Neil Young – Le Noise CD/LP (Reprise)
Le Noise features Young on acoustic and electric guitars with producer Daniel Lanois adding his trademark sonic textures, creating one of the most sonically arresting albums Young has ever recorded. No band, no overdubs, just “a man on a stool and me doing a nice job on the recording,” as Lanois puts it.

Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest CD/LP+MP3 (4AD)
Halcyon Digest is Deerhunter’s fourth album and their first to be released on 4AD worldwide. The album was recorded at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Deerhunter’s hometown of Athens, GA with the band self-producing and Ben Allen enlisted to mix it (he also worked on Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion). Also available on white vinyl with MP3 download.

David Bowie – Station To Station [Special Edition] 3xCD/Deluxe (Virgin)
Deluxe triple-disc reissue features the original album, previously unreleased Live Nassau Coliseum ’76 concert, a 6-page booklet, and three postcards. Free ultra-limited Bowie t-shirt with purchase — while supplies last!

David Bowie – Station To Station [Reissue/Super Deluxe Edition] 5xCD+3xLP+DVD (Virgin)
Super Deluxe set features the original album, previously unreleased Live Nassau Coliseum ’76 concert, DVD audio, a 1985 RCA CD master of the album, a 5-track singles EP, and tons of cool fan stuff including photos and paraphernalia along with a replica of a Bowie fan club membership card. Free ultra-limited Bowie t-shirt with purchase — while supplies last!

Aloe Blacc – Good Things CD (Stone’s Throw)
The path from his debut Shine Through in 2006 to Good Things is akin to the maturation of Marvin Gaye between That’s The Way Love Is and the What’s Going On masterwork that followed. A definitive declaration that places Blacc directly in the framework of modern soul.

Abe Vigoda – Crush CD/LP (Post Present Medium)
Those who clocked Abe Vigoda’s transition from 2006’s angular-punk debut Kid City to 2008’s startling tropicali-punk Skeleton should know the L.A. quartet aren’t ones for repeating themselves. To Skeleton’s hot-hot-hot template, they now add glassy shards of cold-wave pop, with synthesizers, sequencers and altogether broodier beats.

Bad Religion – Dissent Of Man CD/LP+CD (Epitaph)
Bad Religion celebrates three decades of influential, thought provoking and groundbreaking punk rock with a new album.

Eric Clapton – Clapton CD (Reprise)
Clapton touches on everything from century-old traditional brass bands to little-known country blues to brand-new originals, and features an all star cast of musical collaborations started with the legendary JJ Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks, and keyboardist Walt Richmond — and the sessions later added guests including Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint, and Derek Trucks.

Ben Folds/Nick Hornby – Lonely Avenue CD/LP (Nonesuch)
Words and music collaboration between Ben Folds and Nick Hornby. Also available as a Deluxe Edition, which includes four short stories by Hornby, and 15 images by acclaimed photographer Joel Meyerowitz, all in a hardbound, 152-page book.

Matt Costa! Free In-store!!! Thursday, September 23rd 7pm.

Matt Costa

Two years back, Boo Boo Records hosted an in-store performance with Brushfire recording artist Matt Costa, just after the release of his sophomore album, Unfamiliar Faces. The last time our shop was this packed, it was for the Jack Johnson’s debut release. Costa climbed on stage, with a crowd fanned out around him, and performed an amazing set, then signed and chatted with every person that walked up to him.

On Thursday, September 23rd, two days after the release of his latest album, Mobile Chateau, (arrives in stores on September 21st), Matt Costa returns to perform another in-store, and it will be his only San Luis Obispo County show until he returns on October 14. He’ll take to our backroom stage at 7pm. Arrive early for a good spot, and enjoy a great intimate performance.

Of Montreal – False Priest CD/2xLP+MP3 (Polyvinyl)
Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), Of Montreal’s mastermind Kevin Barnes traveled to famed Ocean Way Recording (Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra) to record False Priest, his self-professed masterpiece.

Junip – Fields CD/3xCD/2xLP+CD (Mute)
Debut album from Jose Gonzalez fronted rock band. Their sound can be familiar to those who have listened to Gonzales’s critically acclaimed records, but added to the mix on top of his nylon stringed guitar and distinctive voice are organs, synths and drums. Deluxe three-disc edition adds two early EPs.

Chromeo – Business Casual CD/LP (Atlantic)
After their sophomore release, Fancy Footwork, pushed them into the stratosphere of party-rocking, club-banging, and heart-thrilling electro funk, we might consider Business Casual their postgraduate work. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe contains four bonus remix tracks. Also available on opaque white vinyl.

The Drums – The Drums CD/LP (Downtown)
This band entered 2010 as one of the most tipped acts in the indie rock world. ‘80s inspired mope-pop ala New Order, and The Cure.

Black Milk – Album Of The Year CD (Fat Beats/Decon)
Far from a melancholic work, Album Of The Year once again sees Black Milk working to break new ground in hip-hop production, and to both refine and redefine his sound.
