EMJ Top 20 Readers voted and here's the result... welcome to EMJ's Top 20 Releases of 2011. 18 Male Bonding- Endless Now Sometimes an album will come out of left field at you. I never expected to become infatuated with Male Bonding, but such is the power of the London-based group's perfectly formed grunge pop. With tightly-wound hooks balanced [...]

HANK ALTOGETHER: Here's one that should get both Zach & I drooling: a little collab between Zach Condon (and Perrin Cloutier) of Beirut and Alden Penner from 10.0 approved Clues.

A few weeks ago, it released Music by the Book , a compilation of songs performed by, as they call it, "our HPB family." Although I got my hands on one a while back, it's only recently that I remembered to take a listen. Plus, local contributor and fellow employee John Rhett Barrett kept bugging me about it. This [...]
