The top two featured artists this week – Orca Team and Zulu Winter – are new to 
us, and probably most listeners. But they both have a sound that is fresh and exciting,
and definitely worthy of being radar bands, if not bands to watch list – it’ll take
more spins of their new albums to determine that, and to see what the response will
be from listeners in the Top Ten Songs listing for this week (usually take three
weeks on average to come out). **Orca Team** is a **Seattle** post-punk band that
are fairly popular in the _Emerald City_, and at least for us, a new band from the
Pacific Northwest that we’ll be keeping an ear out and eye on. **Zulu Winter** is
a five-piece indie rock band from **London** who released their debut album, _Language_,
after only one year together.

**Fiona Apple** released her first album in seven years this week. Plus, listen 
to notable singles from new releases by Orca Team, Glen Hansard, White Arrow, Hard
Drugs, Zulu Winter, Sam Densmore, Fiona Apple, Blues Control, Can, Efren, and others.

The title of **Fiona Apple**‘s new album has to be one of the longest titles of 
the 2010’s – _The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping
Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. _It’s poetic and definitely not
commercial friendly, if you will. We’d love to know how she came up with that title,
and exactly what it means. Nevertheless, Apple’s new single, “Every Single Night,”
is getting the attention one would expect from any new single by the talented artist,
and already the long, mouthful of an album title, is being shortened to just _The
Idler Wheel_.

#### Classic Rock Band Can Release Box Set, ‘The Lost Tapes

The band, **Can**, posthumously released a new album this week, **The Lost Tapes**,
from their legendary krautrock sessions. The album is a compilation of songs that
were left, of all places, in a cupboard in Can’s recording studio, all but forgotten
until they were rediscovered, remastered and released. In all, the three CD box 
set includes dozens of unreleased tracks and demos recorded from 1968 until 1977.
The song, “Millionenspiel,” has been released as the promotional single from the
box set. A fan on YouTube wrote: “Can was so far ahead of its time that these songs
will probably sound fresher than most music we have today.” If you’re a fan of classic,
psychedelic rock, you can now listen to a piece of lost rock history rediscovered.
