The Hold Steady - Live At Fingerprints
The new album from the Hold Steady is a live acoustic set at the Long Beach store, Fingerprints. The mini CD contains a more stripped down sound and reveals a little more about the band. The band is lively and charismatic, which makes for an enjoyable listen. It is a limited release and will only be released to independent retailers once. As the press release says, "when it's gone, it's gone." So get it soon!

Bright Eyes - CassadagaCassadaga, Bright Eyes new album, has a more country folk sound to it than any of its predecessors, and contains, for a lack of a better word, many grand arrangements. The slicker production helps contribute to this sound. However, Bright Eyes signature sound is still there, and Oberst's strained vocals still remain. Overall, this is a worthy follow up to I'm Wide Awake It's Morning.
