Via Audio, "Developing Active People"
Via Audio recently recorded some new material with my friend Jim Eno (of Spoon), who brought them to my attention. Their mellow girl-fronted pop is lovely for a lazy afternoon. For fans of the Cardigans, Tilly & the Wall.

The Lemonheads, "No Backbone"
When I got this in the mail, I couldn't believe it, either. But yes, it's true: there's a new Lemonheads record, and it takes up right where they left off all those years ago. Catchy, summery pop for fans of Green Day, the Posies.
