Triple J: Feature Albums Of The Week

Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger
Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

Hailing from Newcastle, UK, Maximo Park are one of the latest indie rock / post-punk bands catching the buzz wave and hoping for success like fellow Brits; Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and The Futureheads. This debut record is definitely catchy and frontman, Paul Smith's accent is not to be messed with. Features the hit singles, Apply Some Pressure and The Coast Is Always Changing (both currently on high-rotation on Triple J), the band will be coming down under for a tour sometime late this year.

A new double album from the frontman of Eels, Mark Everett, or just call him E. A solo effort from him without his band (who released one of my favourite singles ever, Novocaine For The Soul), this very personal record is amazing and even features cameos like on the track, Going Fetal, which features Tom Waits.
Download mp3 (Track #2 of Disc #2): old shit/new shit via Vagrant Records.

You get to hear all the tracks from both albums at various times all this week on Triple J, which you can listen to live online here.

Both albums are out now.
