With the launch of the new site today, we return with our usual new releases update for Tuesday. Over the weeks to follow I'll be keeping you posted on all the noteworthy new discs. I'll try my hardest not to slack off; to deliver the list every Tuesday, or earlier when possible, so you lovely music purchasers can get out there and find those "Not for Sale" advances that independent record stores always sell anyway. Below are my selections for this week... Apse hits us with Spirit. It's eerie.

David Byrne releases selections from his Big Love (HBO series) soundtrack alongside "other recent compositions" on Big Love: Hymnal.

Remember by The Fiery Furnaces.

For the math rockers out there: Don Caballero's Punkgasm.

Fast Times at Barrington High by The Academy Is.... My guess: faster than Ridgemont High.

Something new from Stereolab! Their ninth LP, Chemical Chords.

The Dandy Warhols return to Earth with ...Earth to the Dandy Warhols.... Kevin Jaffe writes about aliens, the Dandy Warhols, and this newest record.

Lagwagon is back with I Think My Older Brother Used to Listen to Lagwagon. Ah, if only I had a younger brother.
