lady sovereign - jigsaw (2009)

Lady Sovereign will return next year with her sophomore album, the follow-up to 2006's Public Warning!. The record is called Jigsaw, and all the songs are about theSaw movie franchise. Kidding, but that is the album's title.

Lady Sovereign will release Jigsaw via her new label, Midget Records, in partnership withEMI, on April 7 (April 6 in the UK). It includes collaborations with Dr. Luke (who produced "Love Me or Hate Me"), Spank Rock collaborator Benny Blanco, and Medasyn. She's currently offering a taste of the record over at her MySpace in the form of "I Got You Dancing", a squelchy, synthesized (and Auto-Tuned) track that sounds like an outtake from Dizzee Rascal's Showtime.

In a statement, Lady Sov called "I Got You Dancing" "an early Christmas gift" and said this about Jigsaw: "The album is the next chapter. It's a massive leap forward for mankind!!!" -Pitchfork

Donita Sparks & The Stellar Moments - Transmiticate (2008)

  For some people, things never change. For others, improvement comes easily with age. Eight years after the break-up of L7, the band’s former front woman Donita Sparks is pulling a Joan Jett sort of career rebirth, bringing music to life and still doing things her way, with her new album “Transmiticate.” A slightly cleaner, more polished take on the sound you might be used to hearing from her, Sparks pumps noticeable melodies into the middle of muddy guitar riffs without giving too much up. 

     Sparks seems to know that she will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar on “Transmiticate.” She offers a relatively dainty melody on “Creampuff,” bass and guitar riffs digging in to offer the otherwise light song some weight while on “Curtains For Cathy” Sparks offers commentary to a gentle pop rock sound. Elsewhere she buries the uplifting melody of “Fly Feather Fly” under thick, buzzing bass and guitars swirl lazily on “Headcheck.” Sparks really comes out of her shell and struts her stuff on the rhythmic “Dare Dare” amidst a big, over the top chorus and on the vibrating sound of “He’s Got The Honey,” her vocals simply dripping off her tongue. 

     Sparks shows off a multifaceted sound on “Transmiticate” that knows how to rock hard but knows how to take a breather and chill to dreamy, spacey melodies. She quickly shows off that she still has the stuff to make a rock album but that she is not taking this to seriously.“Transmiticate” has fun and a conscious.

Kris Delmhorst - Shotgun Singer (2008)

On her last album, Kris Delmhorst took some of the most beautiful poems and some of the most gifted poets, and turned their inspiration into a collection of Americana tunes. Now, two years later, she's back to her own entirely original work, withShotgun Singer—a collection of songs that

 straddles a line between low-fi indie rock and contemporary roots. In terms of comparisons, it's a little bit Iron and Wine, a little bit Ani DiFranco.-Kim Ruehl
