DAVID BOWIE
A Reality Tour
www.davidbowie.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

With the joyous introductory couplet of his 1974 U.K. smash “Rebel Rebel” bringing down the house, David Bowie kicks off a wild night in Dublin, Ireland, unfurling every facet of his fabulous 40-year career before a delirious crowd of devotees, as though he’s once again planted the rainbow-hued flag of victory over the forces of mediocrity and small mindedness in hard-won soil. Whether appearing as the thin White Duke, an abandoned astronaut, or glam-rock poster boy Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie is the man who practically invented the art of self-reinvention and he hasn’t stopped yet. Now, all 30 of the amazing career-spanning, live songs from Bowie’s 2003 a reality tour DVD are available on compact disc, including three superb, unreleased bonus tracks: “Fall Dog Bombs The Moon,” “Breaking Glass” and “China Girl.”

LINKIN PARK
LPU9: Demos
linkinpark.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

LPU9: DEMOS is a rarities CD which features nine unreleased demo versions of some of the band’s biggest hits including "Faint," "Breaking The Habit," and "Leave Out All The Rest," as well as the much sought out "Across the Line," a previously unreleased song recorded during the Minutes To Midnight studio sessions. Track Listing.

"Songs change constantly over the course of the creative process, so we thought it’d be cool to share early versions of familiar tracks. The versions in this collection represent important moments in the evolution of each song: different vocals, music variations, and missing parts. They’re snapshots of our works-in-progress." – Mike Shinoda

LOS CAMPESINOS!
Romance Is Boring
www.loscampesinos.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

Wales-based Los Campesinos! is back their sophomore full-length, Romance Is Boring. In less than three years Los Campesinos! has become one of the most talked about young bands around, releasing their debut EP, Sticking Fingers Into Sockets, in July 2007, debut LP, Hold On Now, Youngster…, recorded in Ontario with producer Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene/The Most Serene Republic), April 2008 and mini-LP, We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, in November 2008. Los Campesinos! has been hailed by publications worldwide and has toured the world relentlessly, making their North American debut at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, ON in 2008. Romance Is Boring was recorded in two legs – at Carriage House, Connecticut where the Pixies produced and mixed Doolittle, and the then at Jason McGurr of Death Cab For Cutie’s new studio in Seattle– it’s a record that’s bigger, deeper, more complex and more direct than anything Los Campesinos! has recorded to date.

POSTDATA

Dist: EMI Music Canada

*Nine New Songs from Wintersleep’s Paul Murphy and his brother Michael.

These are the words of Paul Murphy. You may know him from Wintersleep and you may feel drawn to the haunted melodies of Postdata as you are drawn to the puzzling pieces of your own dreams. With questions like “Are you in outer space” and musings about “fallen stars in the big black belly of the Universe” Postdata floats above the terra firma where “expired antibiotics” and “empty spray cans” inhabit the planet. From this vantage point of dream flight an otherworldly vision of what ties us to our own gravity emerges. Track Listing.

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
Realism
www.houseoftomorrow.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Magnetic Fields’ third Nonesuch disc, Realism, is the flipside to the industrial pop of Distortion, the quartet’s brilliant 2008 homage to, of all things, the clangorous sound of the Jesus and Mary Chain. While Distortion was recorded quickly and noisily in the stairwells and rooms of the New York City apartment building, which singer-songwriter-bandleader Stephen Merritt was about to bid adieu for California, Realism was cut in the distortion-free environs of a Los Angeles studio, and its sound is as pristine as a plein-air painting. There are no drum kits to be heard, and the fascinatingly varied instrumentation – guitars, accordions, violins, cellos, tablas, banjos, tuba, even a smattering of mellifluous falling leaves – did not need to be plugged in. And, as with Distortion, the album credits emphasize: No Synths. Track Listing.

YOUSSOU N’DOUR
I Bring What I Love
www.youssou.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Nonesuch releases the soundtrack from the critically acclaimed documentary about African superstar Youssou N’Dour, I Bring What I Love. The album features all-new recordings of music
from throughout N’Dour’s career as well as two new songs, including the documentary’s title theme, written by N’Dour, Martin Davich and the film’s composer James Newton Howard.
The soundtrack to the stirring film by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi richly represents the music and
the message of N’Dour the artist and the humanitarian. Track Listing.

www.www.nevershoutnever.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

WOODHANDS
Remorsecapade
www.myspace.com/woodhands
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt, alongside producer Roger Leavens, are Woodhands — a synth and drums duo intent on injecting the world of electro-pop with a dose of emotional intensity and a generous portion of glam rock swagger. Since the 2008 release of their debut album Heart Attack, Woodhands has received impressive accolades for both their recorded work and their relentless live performance, appearing on several ‘Best Of’ lists. After spending the past year and a half touring in support of Heart Attack, and delivering a slew of remixes and cover songs that have kept the party going strong, Woodhands is back with a stimulating plethora of darker, energetic dance tracks on their latest album Remorsecapade. Track Listing.

FUCKED UP
Couple Tracks
www.matadorrecords.com/fucked_up
Dist: Select

This double-CD and double-LP compilation of Fucked Up’s many, many hard-to-find uncollected 7" and 12" tracks, entitled Couple Tracks, contains 24 songs and will be accompanied by a 7" single of the same name. Couple Tracks spans an extraordinarily varied (and extraordinarily collectible) musical career that has mainly been documented on 7-inch vinyl singles released around the world on many labels in many countries. Chronologically, it ranges from the A-side of their first single, "No Pasarán," a commentary on the Spanish Civil War released on Deranged in 2002, to the fast alternate take of "No Epiphany", their latest 7" on Matador from earlier this year. Track Listing.

DAY OF FIRE
Losing All
www.dayoffire.com
Dist: Sony Music Canada

Nashville based hard rockers Day Of Fire’s latest release, Losing All, features 13 ambitious, high-energy rock songs.

They have previously toured with Creed, Nickelback, and recently hit the road with Daughtry, who also co-wrote three tracks on the new album. Losing All is a powerful hard-rock record that showcases the growth of band professionally and personally. Track Listing.

CELTIC WOMAN
Songs From The Heart
www.celticwomen.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

The new Celtic Woman CD & DVD, aptly titled Songs From The Heart, was recorded and filmed in HD in the Irish country setting of the majestic Powerscourt House & Gardens. Set under a dramatic evening summer sky with the backdrop of the historic estate and musical support from a 27-piece orchestra, 32-piece choir, 10-member Extreme Rhythm Drummers and an 11-piece bag pipe ensemble. Musical Director David Downes has created a completely new program of repertoire for television, DVD & CD that showcases the beauty and ethereal presence of Chloë, Lisa, Lynn & Alex along with Celtic violinist Máiréad. Track Listing.

BEACH HOUSE
Teen Dream
www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic
Dist: Outside

Recorded in upstate New York, in a converted church called Dreamland with producer/engineer Chris Coady (who has worked with TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead, and a bunch of others) Teen Dream is the third album from the Baltimore-based duo Beach House , and their Sub Pop debut. The new album gives voice to a full universe of unbridled imagination, and the manifestation of Teen Dream has been a welcomed and all-consuming obsession for Beach House the past 9-12 months. Both the CD and LP formats of Teen Dream will arrive packaged with a companion DVD featuring a video for each song on the album, each by a different director. Track Listing.


BASIA BULAT
Heart Of My Own
www.basiabulat.com
Dist: EMI Music Canada

Basia’s 2007’s debut, Oh, My Darling, was a success both at home and on the international scene, garnering a Polaris Prize nomination, and praise from outlets like NPR, who labeled “In the Night” as “one of 2008’s great singles.” Like it’s predecessor, Heart of My Own was produced by Howard Bilerman at Hotel2Tango in Montreal, but it’s a decidedly more eclectic record in terms of the songwriting and instrumentation. “I think it is at times extremely sparse and, well, spacious, with big choirs singing,” Bulat says, “and then it gets really dense with really spirited and rolling drums.” Track Listing.
