Brand new album from the L.A. Folk-Rock quartet, Dawes: recorded at producer Jonathan Wilson’s Echo Park studio late last year in between touring commitments, Nothing Is Wrong is the follow-up to the band’s 2009 debut, North Hills. A collection of songs that expertly builds upon the template laid by the previous album, this second full length sees Dawes displaying strong growth and evolution while still manifesting their distinctive, unforgettable voice.

Deep in the woods of Virginia, Gomez have conspired to make the most compelling, direct album of their 15 year career. The members reside across two continents (in Los Angeles, Brooklyn and Brighton, England) and after several months of sharing ideas through every facet of technology available to them, they came together with their longtime friend, Sam Farrar (Phantom Planet), to create their first self-produced offering since 2001′s In Our Gun. Their seventh studio album, Whatever s On Your Mind, is released on ATO records (Dave Matthew‘s label) and it’s the seventh nice pearl in their career.

With almost 2 million albums sold worldwide and a previous Billboard #9 debut with 50,000 scanned first week, My Morning Jacket return with their sixth studio album: Circuital was recorded in Louisville and Nashville, and was co-produced by frontman Jim James and Tucker Martine (R.E.M., Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists). The result is yet another reinvention of their sound that both forges new ground and maintains the distinct spirit of My Morning Jacket‘s previous work.
