Weekend Music Preview: Woven Bones Tour Kick-Off [Beerland / Friday]
Best known as a member of The Cocteau Twins, Guthrie has stayed consistently busy since the '80s creating glistening, ethereal music. His solo work is often overlooked but is equally magical. He's collaborated with his wife, Liz Fraser, Harold Budd and many others, as well as contributing to Gregg Araki's Mysterious Skin with an original score. Guthrie is always attentive to the subtle layers of his music, and Carousel is no exception. The beautiful and haunting instrumentals on this record prove he's still at the top of his game.

Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson Break Up (Rhino)
The idea for a Gainsbourg/Brigitte Bardot-inspired duet album with Johansson actually came to Pete Yorn long before her collection of Tom Waits covers (Anywhere I Lay My Head, reviewed here) released last year. This album's single, "Relator" is a jaunty pop duet that sticks, with little depth. The album also has a cover of Big Star's "I Am the Cosmos", which sounds deeper than we're betting this duo can muster.

I am the Cosmos was Chris Bell after Big Star.
You're right! My mistake.
Thank you for including Scarlett Johansson in the headline. That was good for a chuckle.
