The Shaking Sensations ~ Start Stop Worrying
The Shaking Sensations have a new drummer! No, they didn’t fire their old drummer, they added a second. This upgrade has provided the Danish band with an obvious boost on their second album (and third release overall). As early as a

Apricot Rail ~ Quarrels
Somewhat rare for a post-rock album, the press release for Quarrels includes the advertising phrase, “features the singles ‘Basket Case’ and ‘Surry Hills”. Singles? Since when do post-rock bands have singles? Are these going to be on 45s? (That would be amazing, but no.)

A-Sun Amissa ~ You Stood Up For Victory, We Stood Up For Less
