I bought 5 albums last weekend, of which: - Mercromina - Desde la montaña más alta del mundo (Spanish shoegaze-indie-pop, what I went in the store for. I had it MP3 but it's Spanish indie and the band broke up last year so felt I should snatch it while I could even at 16 euros (so you know I like it!) - Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (already had the MP3s but felt obliged since I didn't buy the last one) - unremarkable but nice to feel like you've voted for the right candidate - Valérie Leulloit - Caldeira (French, um, whatever it is they do - folk-pop-chanson, former singer of Auteur de Lucie) - The only thing totally "new" and I haven't listened to it yet although the single is groovy in a Madeleine Peyroux kind of way - Françoiz Breut - Vingt à Trente Mille Jours - Françoiz Breut - Une Saison Volée (also had the MP3s) - I would describe her, especially "Vingt," as kind of NOIR indie-chanson. Quite fun in that way.
(Am just now looking to leave work, otherwise I'd write something more helpful for you punters.)
Says something about (my) buying habits, though - two "new/recent" albums and three ones 2-5 years old - and only one "new/unheard." Also absolutely none of it poptimist material (sorry Lex!)
