By Max Blau at 11:34 AM on February 22, 2011

Lykke Li’s upcoming album, Wounded Rhymes, will be available everywhere on March 1, but you can now stream the sophomore effort via the embed below. For her forthcoming self-released LP, Li collaborated with fellow Swede musician Bjorn Yttling (from Peter, Bjorn and John), who produced the album. Li has said that Wounded Rhymes would contain a darker, angrier sound. “Because you’re a woman, the music industry puts you in another corner,” she stated in a past interview. “I want to be fighting with the men.

Listen to the New Bright Eyes Album, The People's Key

By Max Blau at 9:55 AM on January 31, 2011

Although The People’s Key will not be officially released for another two weeks, you can now hear the entire new Bright Eyes’ record at NPR Music. Conor Oberst’s seventh studio release with Bright Eyes, the first since 2007’s Cassadaga, is apparently worth the wait.

In fact, it’s the best record the band’s frontman, Conor Oberst, has ever been a part of.”...  read more
