JOEL PLASKETT

Three

“Good things come in Threes” – From the song “Through & Through & Through”

Nova Scotia song smith Joel Plaskett returns with his new triple disc album aptly titled Three. Beyond just the three-disc set, the number 3 is reflected in many other aspects. For example, each disc has nine tracks and 13 of the 27 tracks contained within are titled with a single word or phrase repeated three times. Beyond that (we’re absolutely serious about this) he was 33 1/3 years old when recording began and he intends to release this set on good old 33 1/3 vinyl LP. Now that Joel’s brought it to your attention, you’ll probably be seeing Three’s everywhere.

Dist: Universal Music Canada

Since they broke into mainstream success with their 2000 debut Infest, which contained the single “Last Resort“, Papa Roach‘s collective albums have gone on to sell more than 10 million albums worldwide.

THE DECEMBERISTS

The Hazards Of Love

www.decemberists.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

The Decemberists‘ follow-up to the group’s 2006 breakthrough The Crane Wife with their fifth album The Hazards Of Love and in doing so The Portland-based quintet solidifies its standing as one of the most innovative creative forces in music today. In an age when singles rule and the death of the album has been pronounced by many, The Decemberists have fashioned an anomaly: a record that demands to be listened to from start to finish.

The Hazards Of Love tells the tale of a woman named Margaret who is ravaged by a shape- shifting animal; her lover, William; a forest queen; and a cold-blooded, lascivious rake, who recounts with spine-tingling ease how he came “to be living so easy and free” in the track “The Rake’s Song“.

THE TAKEOVER UK

Running With The Wasters

Dist: Warner Music Canada

Pittsburgh’s The Takeover UK are unabashedly pop, though their punk attitude comes shining through on their debut, Running With The Wasters. Thick power chords and snotty vocals that teeter between sugar and snarl collide against a thick, Spector-like wall of sound fulfilling the promise of Johnny Thunders and the Ronettes. Hints of ’70s glitter put a coat of high-gloss on their blue-collar work ethic, but there is no concealing their guts. “Pop is not a dirty word,” says vocalist/guitarist Mark. “We’re chasing the perfect pop single.”

BLUE OCTOBER

Approaching Normal

Dist: Universal Music Canada

Blue October‘s last album Foiled went platinum in Canada in part by the success of the single “Hate Me” which also earned a feature spot on the platinum selling compilation album Big Shiny Tunes 11. Approaching Normal is the title of Blue October’s forthcoming fifth studio album and was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Lillywhite. The first single for the album is “Dirt Room“.

PETE DOHERTY

Grace/Wastelands

www.petedoherty.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

Peter Doherty, the British singer/songwriter more infamous as a tabloid mainstay in the U.K. than for his music as a member of Babyshambles and the Libertines, is finally releasing his first solo album Grace/Wasteland. Doherty has been quiet on the tabloid front of late, during which time he holed up with Graham Coxon (founding Blur guitarist) to work on Grace/Wasteland, a diverse collection of songs that range from reggae-influenced pop to Doherty’s standard post-punk as evidenced by the first single, “Last Of The English Roses” a somewhat Clash-influenced offering.

STARSAILOR

All The Plans

www.starsailor.net
Dist: EMI Music Canada

After selling more that 3 million albums worldwide Starsailor, named after the 1970 Tim Buckley album, return with their fourth album All The Plans. The boys from Wigan make a triumphant rediscovery of the over-arching ambition and raw emotional power that made them such a special band in the first place. All The Plans features the lead single “Tell Me It’s Not Over”

MASTODON

Crack The Skye

www.mastodonrocks.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Mastodon has taken hold of the leadership of the New Wave of Progressive Heavy Metal. The band’s 2006 major label debut Blood Mountain spun off a Grammy nomination and earned Top 5 Best Album Of The Year nods from Kerrang!, Revolver and Metal Hammer, and a Top 10 at Rolling Stone. Now Crack The Skye, its fourth original studio album, mines subject matter from czarist Russia and astral travel to out-of-body experiences and Stephen Hawking‘s theories on wormholes for an unrepentantly heavy aural assault that will shake the heavens.

A.R. RAHMAN

The Best Of

www.arrahman.com
Dist: Sony BMG
