» The Decemberists release the first volume of their Always the Bridesmaid: A Singles Series. This is available digitally and on 12" vinyl. I can't seem to find cover art for this one...

Described as an "experimental noise collective," Teith debut with the Oak City EP. Fun fact: this group includes Pelican guitarist Trevor de Brauw.
