With the kick-off of **SXSW**, it’s no big surprise that it is a thin week for new
releases. That said, there is still a good collection of new singles from just dropped
albums to pick from, including the lead track from The Ting Tings’ follow-up to 
their acclaimed debut; Atlanta’s **Tiger! Tiger!**, plus, **Freshkills, Say Anything,
Lucero** and others, including the U.S. release of **Tribes**‘ _Baby_, featuring
the lead track “Sappho”. Plus, with the CD releases this week of previously released
MP3 albums (last week), we have additional tracks from **Said The Whale** and **
Delta Spirit**.

“Soul Killing” – **The Ting Tings** from _Sounds From Nowheresville_ (track via

**Atlanta**-based **Tiger! Tiger!** is not as well-known as one would expect for
a band that has opened for artists such as notable luminaries Jon Spencer Blues 
Explosion, The Woggles , and The Subsonics, superstar centurions The Fleshtones,
and international big-shots Mastodon and Black Lips. Tiger! Tiger’s! new album, 
_Cut Them Where They Bleed_, features cover art by renowned illustrator **John Baizley**.(
There is also a **Sydney**, Australia band called Tiger Tiger.)

⌊said-the-whale-little-mountain-cd⌉⌊said-the-whale-little-mountain-cd⌉Last week 
the **Juno Award** winning band **Said The Whale** released the MP3 version of their
new, anticipated album (their first as a five-piece band), _Little Mountain_. This
week is the official release of the CD version of the album for fans that prefer
the sound quality of a CD over an MP3 album. _Little Mountain_ is one of the best
albums so far this year, featuring the band’s exhilarating mix of 70’s and 80’s 
classic post punk combined with the power pop of artists like **Marshall Crenshaw**
and **The Knack**.

“We Are 1980” – **Said The Whale** from _Little Mountain_ (or get the MP3 version;
unfortunately, there’s no vinyl edition – song via DirectCurrentMusic.com)

Other top releases this week include the CD release of **Delta Spirit**‘s self-titled
debut, plus the live album from **The Decemberists**, _We All Raise Our Voices to
the Air_.

“California” – **Delta Spirit** from _Delta Spirit_ on Rounder Records (track via
TheWheelsStillinSpin)
 Or get the MP3 version or vinyl edition.

Also, get the MP3 version, Audio CD, or vinyl edition of The Decemberists’ _We All
Raise Our Voices to the Air_. For an album this great, we’re getting the vinyl –
the best sound ever is vinyl and probably always will be.
