New Releases: The Showdown, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Lykke Li

Yeahhh big release week. Something like 85 releases. We’ve been buzzing about The Showdown for a while now, so you should probably check that out. I’m looking forward to Lykke Li‘s twee-pop deliciousness and the Fiery Furnaces 2-disc live album. Also, The Toadies are still alive? Someone tell me what that’s about.

Oh, and that Lee “Scratch” Perry album was produced by Andrew W.K. so it should be… interesting.
