Sharon Van Etten - Are We There

There isn't a chance that I would pass up the new Sharon Van Etten album, Are We There. Her previous albums, Tramp and Epic, are great. I don't even need to preview the new album in order to buy it, but I know some of you do. Just watch this video for "Afraid of Nothing" and I know you will do what's right and buy this album. Looks like Are We There is a few bucks cheaper this week as Amazon's "Album of the Week."

Arcade Fire: Reflektor

Arcade Fire's much anticipated fourth album, Relflektor, is out today. Pitchfork says 9.2/10 (very high marks for Pitchfork). Also, their previous three albums are all $4.99. I think all three are excellent albums and I highly recommend you pick all of them up -- Funeral | Neon Bible | The Suburbs.Arcade-fire-reflektor-album-drawing
