Once every three months I list the best of what I heard in albums/songs/remixes for the quarter. I do this to personally keep up with all the awesome music I hear, as it ultimately helps me at the end of the year when I do my overall listing for the previous twelve months. I also do it to introduce you cool cats to tunes you may have missed independently.
Dwight Yoakam – 3 Pears (September 18)
Listen to “Heart Like Mine,” co-produced by Beck.
Ben Folds Five – The Sound of the Life of the Mind (September 18)
Ringo Deathstarr – Mauve (September 24)
Green Day Trilogy
Uno! (September 25)
Dos! (November 13)
Tre! (January 15)
Tame Impala – Lonerism (October 9)
Pinback – Information Retrieved (October 16)
Kendrick Lamar – good kid m.A.A.d. city (October 22)
Major Lazer – Free the Universe (November 6)
Deftones – Koi No Yokan (November 13)
Big Boi – Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (November 13)
That’s the cover above to Information Retrieved, the first new album from Pinback in five years. So great seeing Rob Crow back with his main (and best) band, and from the sound of this new leaked track, “Proceed to Memory,” they are getting back to what they do best. 2012, you guys. FTW. The album drops October 16th. Listen to the song over at Rolling Stone.
