Compass, the new album from Jamie Lidell, will be released on Warp Records on May 18, 2010. I picked up a pre-release at Cactus on Record Store Day last month.
As soon as he’s finished galavanting through Zurich, Paris, and wherever else his 2010 tour takes him, he will be back in the States (in Chicago) for LOLLAPALOOZA.

Sarah Kirkland Snider’s debut album Penelope, features vocalist Shara Worden. Worden is known for her work as singer/songwriter for the indie-rock band My Brightest Diamond and for vocals with Sufjan Stevens and The Decemberists.
Snider’s compositions are inspired by The Odyssey—the journey of two individuals both finding their way back into each other’s lives and memories post war trauma.
The album is available from New Amsterdam Records.

Marcone, hailing from Burlington, Ontario, has released an album titled Raven: the story of Mad Love. In three episodes it captures his “adventure with love, luck, and lies.”
Episode descriptions taken from Marcone’s MySpace page:
Episode 1 is the reason, the realization, the cause and the effect. It’s the catalyst that creates the events to come, and a probe into the mindset of the lover’s quarrel.

“SoulPiano” by Marcone in Episode I
Episode 2 follows the process of moving on while being haunted by past relationships. Ignorance is bliss with substance-induced entertainment and a new companion… but love still lingers in the dark.

“Raven (i) Sweet Angel” by Marcone in Episode 2
Episode 3 is the discovery of a new love and the need to come clean. But facing demons is more than she can handle, and only true love will survive.
