#2432: June 2005 New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Oh bliss! We love it when new mail it comes into the New Sounds office. We really do love the stacks and stacks of submissions that threaten to snow us under. Know what is even better than stacks of mail? Sharing the contents of the best packages that have come our way over the past month. That’s what happens on tonight’s New Sounds. Listen to the best of the new releases we’ve received this June. Probable finalists include the indescribable melodic yet distorted thumb pianos on Konomo No. 1’s Congotronics, the punk cabaret of Barbez, and trans-oceanic "old-school" choros played by Regional Barnabé. Plus, new material from Carl Weingarten, Michael Galasso and more…
