Alabama Shakes, Nation of Language, Sea Lemon, Spoon, Big Thief - our latest New Music picks

NOTE: It's totally a coincidence that two of our New Music picks of the week have "Another Life" in their titles!

---

Alabama Shakes: Another Life

---

A decade after Sound and Color, Brittany Howard rejoins bassist Zac Cockrell and guitarist Heath Fogg on this new song and on tour. Their next album is in the works.

---

Nation of Language: In Another Life

---

We've been spinning the singles "Inept Apollo" and "I'm Not Ready For The Change," and with the release of the LP Dance Called Memory we now adding selection. Critics have called the album both "fresh, upbeat and lively" and "intimate, introspective, dark."

---

Sea Lemon: Stay

---

We take a dip into the debut LP from the Seattle-based project of Natalie Lew, Diving for a Prize. New Noise Magazine calls it "a shoegaze, dream pop album with atmospheric power to shake rain from the clouds."

---

Spoon: Chateau Blues

---

As the band works on its next album, it decided to roll out two of its new songs as a "double-sided single." We took the 45 out of its sleeve and flipped it, and it landed with this track on top. The other, "Guess I'm Fallin In Love," will pop up in our mix, too.

---

Big Thief: Words

---

With the release of the Brooklyn band's sixth full-length, Double Infinity, we pick out another fine track and drop it into our New Music Bin.
