Miscellaneous

There's been an overwhelming amount of albums that have leaked in the past month or so and, admittedly, I've fallen a bit behind at listening to all of them. Most of these aren't technically "leaks" any more, but I figured I'd put a few of the more memorable ones up just in case any of you have missed out on them. Full posts coming later this week.

Tokyo Police Club - Champ [Mom + Pop Music Co.] ---> DOWNLOAD
One sentence review: More infectious tunes from this lovable Canadian quartet on their first post-Saddle Creek release.
Recommended tracks: "Favourite Food," "Wait Up (Boots of Danger)," "End of a Spark," "Big Difference."

Women - Public Strain [Flemish Eye] ---> DOWNLOAD
One sentence review: Women return with the follow-up to their self-titled 2008 debut, a darker, more psychedelic effort that backs their tightly coiled riffs with a heavy helping of drone sounds.
Recommended tracks: "Heat Distraction," "China Steps," "Drag Open," "Eyesore."

Kele - The Boxer [Wichita] ---> DOWNLOAD
One sentence review: Hit and miss solo debut from Bloc Party's Kele Okereke that lands squarely in the "club dance hits" category and contains such unfortunate lyrics as "I don't know what I've been told" (as in, the army chant).
Recommended tracks: "Tenderoni," "Everything You Wanted," "The New Rules," "Unholy Thoughts."

Magic Kids - Memphis [True Panther Sounds] ---> DOWNLOAD
One sentence review: Named after their city of residence, Magic Kids' debut full length is chock full of the whimsical indie-pop that got them noticed in the first place.
Recommended tracks: "Superball," "Summer," "Hey Boy," "Sailing."
