There's a full load of new albums for online preview this week, including the new releases from Sinead O'Connor, Islands, Tennis, Poliça, and Amos Lee.
No matter what you think of O'Connor's political beliefs, multiple marriages, or hair styles, she still has one of the most unique and beautiful voices in the business, and no one can accuse her of getting stuck in the same style or genre for long. Her new release "How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?" is one of the first new albums I'll be listening to this week.
Other albums I'm looking forward to: the latest from Northhampton, Mass. indie rockers Winterpills; the husband-and-wife band Tennis; the Canadian group Islands; and the band of Texas siblings known as Eisley (just an EP, unfortunately).
Some albums streaming on one site last week are now available for listening on other sites, so you get another chance to listen to the new albums by Heartless Bastards and Band of Skulls, to name a couple.
