New Release Tuesday: Madlib, Kelly Rowlands & Local Love

It must be the week of a major holiday, because there won't be a lot of new beautiful stuff on the walls at Waterloo or End of an Ear this week. If you're anxious for Kelly Rowlands' latest (Ms. Kelly), you're breathing a big sigh of relief right now, but H-town is about as close to home as it gets July 3 (please correct us if we're wrong).

The new Madlib effort, Yesterday's New Quintet, offers Yesterdays Universe: Prepare for a New Yesterday (Volume One), a Madlib-produced collection of songs by Karriem Riggins & Mamao (Azymuth) on drums. The album features 13 groups that rose from the original Quintet, and Otis Jackson Jr. There were 6 phases and numerous rebirths ... we're pretty sure it still sounds like Madlib.

Locally, we're gearing up for several new releases. Thursday we'll be celebrating Oh No! Oh My!'s release at the Parish, and their CD, Between the Devil & the Sea, is already getting high praise around the interwebs ... we hope that it is, in some small part, named for the Stephen Rea film with a similar name. Regardless, the simple but timeless pop harmony and nonchalance will continue to impress. Other bands with new records we'd like to nod to on this off-major release day include Mark David Ashworth's Viceroy, Cue's Wedding Bell, Tia Carrera's Heaven/Hell EP, and Li'l Cap'n Travis' Twighlight on Sometimes Island. Cap'n et. al. can be caught celebrating their latest release this Saturday at the Continental Club, by the way.

In other local music news, you can continue to overdose on Voxtrot over at La Blogotheque with "Trouble", there's a new mixtape offered by Party Ends by Markus with a K, the Weary Boys are calling it a day, and Low Line Caller give good interview to Austin Sound, discussing their latest step forward: a venture into the world of vocals, utilizing Black Before Red vocalist Marc Ferrino. Oh, and What Made Milwaukee Famous have a cute new video:

Follow the jump for the rest of the official releases, and we'll see you next week with new albums by Spoon, Justice, St. Vincent and Interpol.
