New Releases Tuesday (3/1)

Not much going on at the record store this week...from a major label stand point, really just two significant new releases (Doves+Mars Volta), unless you've been anxiously awaiting the new joint from Fiddy-Cent. Here's the run-down: Doves - Some Cities (Capitol) Album number 3 from the Mancunian trio formerly known as Sub Sub. Released last week in the UK, the reviews on the BBC website are all glowing so far, though a couple posts alluded that it probably doesn't top Lost Souls. (No surprise there) The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (Universal) Shivvy Shiv from woxy.com sez this album is prog-a-licious, featuring 15+ minute epic tunes complete with multiple 'movements', just like your Dad's old Yes albums. Ivy - In the Clear (Nettwerk) Apparently this is their 5th album?? I guess I missed the last 3 or 4...oh well, I don't remember them varying their sound much, so I probably didn't miss a whole lot.
