Arcade Fire LPs should be in later today, but heres what weve got in so far: NEW ARRIVALS FOR THE WEEK OF 10/29/2013 LP’s: BLACK HEARTED BROTHERS – Stars Are Our Home 2LP (SLUMBERLAND) Neil Halstead, Mark Van Hoen, and Nick Holton of the newlyformed Black Hearted Brother are thrilled to announce the release their debut album, Stars Are Our Home out October 22 on Slumberland Records. A brave, beautiful yet experimental album, Stars Are Our Home boasts the craftsmanship of Halstead, Van Hoen, and Holtons impressive resumes: Neil Halstead, previously an influential member of Slowdive and Mojave 3; Mark Van Hoen, an original member of Seefeel, subsequently working solo and as Locust; and Nick Holton, the main mover behind Holtons Opulent Oog, and member of Coley Park, who have released albums on Halsteads Shady Lane label. They had also previously worked together on Halsteads 2001 solo album, Sleeping On Roads. Van Hoen co-produced Mojave 3s Out Of Tune, Excuses For Travellers and Spoon & Rafter, while Holton took up production duties for Halsteads Palindrome Hunches. Van Hoen and Halstead go back much further still, to 1992, when they were in Seefeel and Slowdive respectively. A record that beautifully merges order and chaos, Stars Are Our Home is full of unexpected twists and turns that drench the listener in noise and then flip back to acoustic melody, and offers surprises with lyrics that sometimes reference romance and other times UFO abduction. Although unexpected and surprising, the experimental nature of the album never forgets the importance of pop with tracks like, Take Heart, Im Back, and the closing track, Look Back Here They Come.

Soundtrack A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III (AMERICAN ZOETROPE) A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is Roman Coppola’s highly anticipated 2013 feature film coming off the heels of co-writing 2012‘s Moonrise Kingdom with Wes Anderson . Featuring an all-star cast including Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Patricia Arquette and Aubrey Plaza, A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III is a playful comedy of lost love, friendship, revenge fantasies, and Brandy Alexanders. A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III features a score by Chicago native, Liam Hayes, who has made music under the name Plush since the early 90s. Liam was contacted by Coppola after the director became a huge fan. I just got so absorbed by his music, Coppola recently told GQ (UK). The resulting affinity between the director and musician produced a highly imaginative, atmospheric, cinematic score. Liam Hayes elevated level of song craft is apparent throughout. Some tracks feature arrangements containing more than 30 seasoned musicians, while others are beautifully spare piano and vocal pieces.
