Here's the skinny on what's new at End of an Ear and Waterloo today:

So Divided might sound divided to your tender and oh-so-spoiled by Austin scene-drenched ears, but the third major-label release from the hometown favorites doesn't appear to be divided enough to disrupt. Epics interspersed with New Pornographers-ish pop treats, multi-influential backdrops and lots and lots of atmosphere make the album notable, time will tell if loyal AYWKUBTTOD fans abide.

There's an old French proverb: “Don't find fault with what you don't understand.” And like many things we don't understand, the French can baffle and bemuse with their shimmies and their shakes. Their latest offering to our altar of befuddlement is an uncanny ability to out-do and upstage the planet in one of the most dynamic genres: electrorock. Just in case Phoenix's release earlier this year wasn't quite enough for you, don't miss this album.

So, last season, Marissa died in a tragic accident, which has set off a series of events that none of us could have foreseen. After a series of wild and return-customer discounted face lifts, the women have started the long, slow healing process, concentrating on important issues like stray dogs and Battlestar Galactica-watching hobos, and the boys are staring longingly at photographs, tear-stained pillows, and each other, oddly. Will Summer come back? Will they be able to move on? Will Ryan ever fall in love again? Look no further for your answer: an undoubtedly, mind-bendingly good album from none other than Damien Rice. If nothing else, hunt down "Me, My Yoke, and I" and call us in the morning.
