 Listening Post Features for April
 Listen up

morrisey Morrissey-Greatest Hits
Thirteen Morrissey songs that you know and love, plus two brand new songs - "That's How People Grow Up" & "All You Need Is Me" are as wry & wistful as your old favorites. Go ahead skip to track 6, you'll see! The deluxe version has a bonus CD that contains 9 live songs recorded at the Hollywood Bowl.

Colour Revolt-Plunder, Beg and Curse
"The band exploring Broken Social Scene-tinged dream pop, post-rock meltdowns, Isaac Brock's vocal assaults, and dirty, post-grunge dynamics. There's even a bass line that nods to Surfer Rosa." - Stereogum

Hot Chip-Made In The Dark
"The third album from the English collective behind some of today's most exciting pop: pounding electronics, galvanizing effects, shimmering melodie"- Details

Justin Townes Earle-The Good Life
"I have a feeling that in a few years we'll need backstage passes at the Ryman auditorium to get anywhere near him. He's just THAT good." - Chattanooga Free Press

Moby-Last Night
Moby returns to the dance floor with a vengeance on his new album "Last Night". Spanning hands-in-the-air, smiley-faced rave anthems, cosmic Giorgio Moroder- styled Euro-disco, hip-hop both old school and underground, and downtempo, end-of-the-night ambience, "Last Night" is a dance music tour de force that looks back at Moby's deep roots in the club scene at the same time as it embraces the future.
