Album releases: January 2010

What to watch out for (or avoid!) in January... happy new year!!!


OK Go
The Blue Colour of the Sky

Release: 12 January 2010 - Capitol
"Take it non too seriously, disregard the pilfering, and what you get is a creative, if not entirely original, feisty smorgasbord of funky, and, on occasion, furtive tunes" - Contact Music



Vampire Weekend
Contra

Release: 12 January 2010 - XL Recordings
"Contra doesn’t contain as much pop smarts as their eponymous debut, but then that record was such an explosion of ideas and styles that this seems more considered by comparison." - The Skinny



Cold War Kids
Behave yourself [EP]

Release: 19 January 2010 - Downtown
"The kids recorded part of their four-track EP while in the studio for their 2008 sophomore album Loyalty to Loyalty. According to the album artwork (and in line with their psychosis) the songs made them do it." - Prefix Mag



Eels
End Times

Release: 19 January 2010 - Vagrant Records
"End Times is a heartbreaking journey but well worth the ride." - Blog Critics




Motion City Soundtrack
My Dinosaur Life

Release: 19 January 2010 - Sony
"My Dinosaur Life, on which the band strikes a radio-ready balance between mayhem and melody, may well trigger their long-awaited breakthrough." - Spin




Spoon
Transference

Release: 19 January 2010 - Merge Records
"Transference will be an 'uglier' record closer to the band's emo recordings, which means rawer production and less complexity" - Prefixmag
