Head over to Tuesday Guide for this week’s full listing of new releases and streaming audio from select albums!
JET
Shaka Rock
www.jettheband.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

With their previous releases — 2003’s Get Born and 2006’s Shine On- JET broke out of their native Australia and established themselves as a multi-platinum, international success story, merging the charisma and energy of classic rock and roll with just enough punk swagger and contemporary flair to create something uniquely theirs. Here at last is a band that’s returning the cool to rock and roll. 2009’s Shaka Rock reveals new dimensions of JET while never losing the raw roots of Get Born or the grace and melody of Shine On, which together went on to make Jet an international band of style and substance. The first single off Shaka Rock is “She’s A Genius.”

IMOGEN HEAP
Ellipse
www.imogenheap.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Following the success of her previous album Speak For Yourself, Imogen is back with her third solo album Ellipse, finding inspiration from her writing trip which took her to Maui, Tasmania, China and Japan. A multi-instrumentalist with what seems to be limitless creative ability, the culmination of eccentric style and a sound that is unlike anything else, Imogen is an artist who isn’t afraid to experiment with her music. Her new album once again seduces you into a world where fantasy and reality meet in an atmospheric dream state. Imogen is, in all senses, an experience. Ellipse features the single “First Train Home.”
COLLECTIVE SOUL
Collective Soul
www.collectivesoul.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Collective Soul gained a special place in the hearts of music lovers when they burst onto the scene in 1993 with the rock anthem “Shine.” Seven #1 Rock Hits, 4 Platinum Plus albums and 10 million total albums sold since, Collective Soul return with their most ambitious album to date, Collective Soul (Rabbit). Recorded in just 45 days in their home studio in Georgia and produced by Ed Roland himself, the album features their most mainstream songs ever recorded. It’s hard to imagine that the band has been making music for nearly 2 decades. Hard that is, until you turn on the radio and find yourself singing along to “Staring Down,” the new single from the band’s upcoming album Collective Soul.
BLACKIE JACKETT JR.
Whiskey And Tears
www.myspace.com/blackiejackettjr
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Blackie Jackett Jr. is the critically acclaimed alt country side project from multi-platinum selling Finger Eleven’s Rick Jackett and James Black. Booze, love gone bad, losing yourself on the highway … these are the perennial topics of traditional country music, and the recurring themes of the aptly titled debut album by Blackie Jackett Jr., Whiskey and Tears. Eschewing the slick sound of Nashville pop in favor of the time-honored tunesmithing of Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Lefty Frizzell, and others, the album’s emotional intensity and faithfulness to honky-tonk tenets comes as a pleasant surprise in a musical atmosphere that’s too often about chasing the next throwaway hit single.
ARCTIC MONKEYS
Humbug
www.arcticmonkeys.com
Dist: Outside

Humbug, the 3rd album from Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys finds the band brimming with vim, vigor and new ideas. They brought in a new production accomplice, Josh Homme (Queens of The Stone Age), for some of the recording. He generously hosted and produced tracks with them at his Joshua Tree studio. Then they rejoined forces with James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco), producer of the previous 2 Arctic Monkeys and Last Shadow Puppets albums, in Brooklyn, NY to complete the tracks that became Humbug. The album is heavier and lush than previous albums but still full of the Monkeys usual punch and vitality. The current single is “Crying Lightning.”
DOLORES O’RIORDAN
No Baggage
www.doloresoriordan.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada
Dolores O’Riordan is probably best known as the incredible and unique voice that led Irish alternative rock band The Cranberries to international success in the early nineties. Dolores’s work with The Cranberries, however, is only part of the legacy in music she continues to create. In 2007, Dolores released her first solo album entitled Are You Listening? which chronicled with deep sincerity the chapters in her life following her departure from The Cranberries. It wasn’t long, however, until she started full time work on her second solo project. She spent the duration of 2008 writing and recording music and now we finally see the results in her latest album entitled No Baggage featuring the single “The Journey.”
NEW TALES TO TELL: A TRIBUTE TO LOVE AND ROCKETS
Various Artists
www.myspace.com/loveandrocketstribute
Dist: Fontana North

“Love and Rockets are many things,” says Black Francis, aka Frank Black, whose contribution to the album is a version of “All In My Mind.” “But what they are more than anything are agents of that mysterious force known as rock n’ roll, a force loved by many but understood by so few.”
New Tales To Tell, A Tribute To Love and Rockets is produced by Christopher The Minister & Phil Jaurigui and the album art by Shepherd Fairey. The artist lineup of New Tales To Tell: A Tribute To Love And Rockets, includes Puscifer, the Flaming Lips, Blaqk Audio, Monster Magnet, the Dandy Warhols, Better Than Ezra and many more.
YOUNG GALAXY
Invisible Republic
www.younggalaxy.com
Dist: Fontana North

Finding beauty in the everyday may sometimes be a tricky task, but the best art does just that – holds up a mirror to the small yet significant details that make up our lives. In an era where the world seems to move at warp speed and incisive reflection is limited to the latest blog post, Montreal band Young Galaxy’s songs remind us of the richness of our universal experiences – from love and loss to despair and hope. Invisible Republic, Young Galaxy’s sophomore release, builds upon transforming the mundane into the fantastic – catchy hooks build into epic crescendos, while political and ethical concerns share space with emotional observations.
*Free download of “Long Live The Fallen World” available on their website.
STILL LIFE STILL
Girls Come Too
www.myspace.com/stilllifestill
Dist: EMI Music Canada

Still Life Still formed nearly a decade ago in the Toronto suburb of East York when the band’s members had just hit double digits and were barely tall enough to hold up their instruments. Brendon Saarinen (guitar/vocals), Eric Young (guitar/vocals), Derek Paulin (bass), Aaron Romaniuk (drums) and Josh Romaniuk (keys/percussion) have a bond that is instantly exposed with their live performances, which culminate in a pogo-frenzy of fans. Still Life Still’s debut album, Girls Come Too, is produced by Martin Davis Kinack and Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene) and follows up their 3-song Pastel EP released in June.
SMOKEY ROBINSON
Time Flies When You’re Having Fun
www.smokeyrobinson.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

The legendary Smokey Robinson returns with a new CD entitled Time Flies When You’re Having Fun. Smokey fully intends to continue his wonderfully weaved musical legacy with an album of new material featuring the first single – a cover of “Don’t Know Why.” Robinson Is joined on the album by Carlos Santana, India Arie and Joss Stone.
“The title of this CD depicts my life,” shares Robinson, “because I love my life. I love the fact that I’m extremely blessed, because I get a chance to live a life that I love. I get a chance to do a craft that I love. I get a chance to do a job that I love.”
RYAN DAHLE
Irrational Anthems
www.ryandahle.com
Dist: Fontana North
Dahle is adept at crafting obliquely hook-laden melodies and fractured lyrics, first as songwriter for The Age of Electric and then as frontman for Limblifter. Since then, he’s practically (and now literally) lived in the studio, collecting gear, experimenting with production techniques, searching for new sounds and working with well-known Canadian musicians like The Manvils and Hot Hot Heat. Despite the fact that Irrational Anthems is the first album Dahle has released under his own name, it’s not strictly a solo affair. Megan Bradfield (The Salteens, A.C. Newman) contributes bass, double-bass, cello, clarinet and vocals, and Dahle’s brother Kurt is back, bringing both his experience in indie-pop sensations The New Pornographers and the type of intuition that only brothers can share.
MATISYAHU
Light
www.matisyahuworld.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Few artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu made with his Top 40 smash “King Without a Crown”. Here was a true original, the song announced—a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing Reggae songs about his religious devotion. Fans responded to this one-of-a-kind voice, too, driving Youth, Matisyahu’s Grammy-nominated 2006 studio disc, to the top spot on Billboard’s Reggae albums chart. True originals, though, don’t stay put for long, and his bold new album, Light, is anything but safe. Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes), the 14-track collection covers a dizzying amount of stylistic ground, from dancehall (“Smash Lies”) and ska–inflected New Wave (“We Will Walk”) to laidback pop-rock (“So Hi So Lo”) and acoustic folk-soul (“I Will Be the Light”).
DANIEL MERRIWEATHER
Love & War
www.danielmerriweather.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Daniel Merriweather, is a 27 year-old Australian who lent his old-soul voice on the track “Stop Me” on Mark Ronson’s eclectic album Version. Daniel and Mark Ronson have collaborated once again, and the finished product is the beautiful album Love And War. Daniel Merriweather’s music pulses with gritty hip-hop beats, 60’s soul keyboards and horns, warm textures of acoustic and electric guitar, cinematic string arrangements, all anchored by Merriweather’s combustible vocals. Love & War features the introductory single “Change”.
FUN.
Aim And Ignite
www.ournameisfun.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

fun. have crafted something special indeed, a contemporary rethinking of classic 70s pop, where ornate arrangements and inspired orchestrations meet present-day rock ‘n’ roll. Nate Ruess, late of The Format, has teamed up with ex-Anathallo multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost and Steel Train’s Jack Antonoff, resulting in their ingenious debut, Aim And Ignite. The trio melds a stunning array of diverse inspirations – spanning Broadway to The Beach Boys, Nilsson Schmilsson to Pinkerton – into an irresistible collection of freewheeling pop songwriting.
