by AUX staff
December 11, 2009
This week the staff of Criminal Records recommends a PJ Harvey John Parish project, The Wilderness of Manitoba and a reissued Red House Painters vinyl. Watch it after the jump.
Every week AUX visits the lovely staff of Criminal Records to get a mix of new music recommendations and sometimes a past album which deserves a second look. Catch new episodes of Aux Weekly every Saturday at 8pm.
Jameson’s Pick: Red House Painters – Songs For a Blue Guitar
Why: Half of the album is acoustic jams and the other half are really big ten minute noise jam songs. The album also has an awesome cover of Yes’ Long Distance Run.
Melody’s Pick: Wilderness of Manitoba – Hymns Of Love & Spirits EP
Why: The album offers ambient fall music, perfect for when you’re home and want to listen on your headphones in bed.
Josh’s Pick: PJ Harvey and John Parish – A Woman A Man Walked By
Why: The album offers a certain fortitude that we haven’t seen from PJ Harvey in a while.
