A total of four new albums enter the top 20 this week; including the latest from War On Drugs, the Philadelphia indie band jumps up 48 spots to #5, and the Syracuse, New York hardcore outfit Perfect Pussy, debut in the Top 200 all the way at #15. Another noteworthy debut is the sophomore effort from Bear Hands. The band will perform at the Coachella Festival this year on the Saturday lineup. “Singles,” the fourth studio album from Future Islands, takes over the top spot on Spicy Radio.

Pixies Announce First Album Since 1991’s Trompe Le Monde
The Do-It-Yourself band the Pixies continue to execute innovative ways to make money hand over fist. The latest effort has the band releasing their first album in nearly 23 years on April 29. The album entitled Indie Cindy, is a double LP/CD that includes all 12-tracks that have already been released as new music on EP’s 1, 2 and 3, along with a 13-track live set.
In addition to the album announcement, the group unveiled its third installment of their EP collection, conveniently titled EP3. The 4-track extended play includes the single “Bagboy,” which was the first new tune to drop last June, and “Silver Snail,” a song that has made regular appearances in recent live sets. The EP’s final two tracks are brand new tunes, “Ring The Bells” and “Jaime Bravo.” It appears that the digital download is currently only available with the purchase of a limited edition 10-inch exclusive vinyl EP, or by pre-ordering the Indie Cindy album. I could be wrong, but I’m probably not. The songs are currently available as separate song downloads on iTunes, inside the pre-order Indie Cindy download. By the time you’re reading this, it could all change, or when the 3,000 copies of limited edition vinyl dries up.

“Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia”
Live at The Wonder
At the end of the zero’s decade, I named this album as my #2 favorite album of the decade. What a treat to have it played live in its entirety! My package came early on Saturday, so I’ve had the opportunity to spin it a couple of times already. A must-have for Dandy’s fans, vocals could be a little louder.
