Marco Benevento, TigerFace (Royal Potato Family)
Keys wizard Marco Benevento presents his fourth album of instrumental post-jazz rock, in the vein of Tortoise and Brian Eno, with brighter and more heavily shimmering sonic colors as created by Benevento on acoustic piano, synths and analog keyboards.

A solo outing from the former one-half of Brooks & Dunn.
David Byrne & St. Vincent, Love This Giant (4AD / Todo Mundo)
The new brass-infused joint collab from the iconic idiosyncratic musician and the experimental-classy indie piano-rocking songstress; I've been told it's "just not fair," in reference to just how goddamn good it was. Video for "Who" after the jump along with the rest of this week's new releases...
