Leave it to Jack Johnson to create an entire studio album using solar energy. The singer/songwriter, who will play his first U.S. show in support of Sleep Through the Static in Hawaii on Earth Day, April 22, said in a statement, "Some of the songs on this album are about making babies. Some of the songs are about raising them. Some of the songs are about the world that these children will grow up in; a world of war and love, and hate, and time and space. Some of the songs are about saying goodbye to people I love and will miss."
Hot Chip's Made in the Dark is also being released today. Recorded and self-produced at the band's London studio over the last half-year, the new songs are more rockin' than previous Hot Chip material, and fans who have caught their recent gigs are already familiar with some of them. Keep an eye out for the two-disc version of Made in the Dark — it has five live-performance videos, including a pair from the Glastonbury Festival.
Grammy winners in the house....10-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow releases her new album Detours, pseudo-jew and 4-time winner Lenny Kravitz drops It Is Time for a Revolution, and fellow 4-time Grammy winner k.d. lang gives us Watershed. Let's hope these veteran acts can boost an incredibly sluggish 2008 and a downright embarrassing last sales week. 64,000 last week? Really? That hurts.
Digging through the bargain bins,
Josh
