Check out the video for "Forest Whitaker" below.

Don Felder, Road to Forever (Rocket Science)

Ellie Goulding, Halcyon (Interscope)

Freelance Whales, Diluvia (Mom + Pop)
After two years and many tours, baroque/synth pop outfit Freelance Whales offer up a new album. According to the description, Diluvia is a record "about the possible survival — or peril — of space-faring humans and other arguably fantastical scenarios. Curiosity over these unknowns has evolved into notions of space exploration, ancient astronauts, dreams, and natural and artificial selection, with new songs building to expansive, atmospheric destinations. Working to evoke both prehistoric and pseudo-futuristic sensations, the record invites listeners to indulge in more elastic thought, perhaps, than it's predecessor." Listen to "Locked Out" below.

He's My Brother She's My Sister, Nobody Dances In This Town (Park the Van)

Hidden Orchestra, Archipelago (Tru Thoughts)
A second record by the ambient experimental quartet, formed around the dueling drum kits, percussion and electronic pads of beat-keepers Tim Lane and Jamie Graham, and rounded out by Poppy Ackroyd's distinctive, multi-faceted violin and piano playing, and Joe Acheson's bass and original samples. "Vorka" below.

My Jerusalem, Preachers (The End)
"Nobody ever paid money to see Harry Houdini escape being buried alive," My Jerusalem founder and singer Jeff Klein has said about the band's second full-length. "They wanted the small chance of seeing him killed by the weight of the earth on top of him." Thus the concept behind the album from the Austin outfit, intended to lead the listener on a cinematic journey "through a reckless, jagged landscape of Raymond Carver-esque stories." Check out the title track below.
