	Music The Veils - Sun Gangs Released on Rough Trade, 4/7/09 By Jeff Kingsbury (Apr 10, 2009) Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars Born from the night and the roaring wind The Veils new release, Sun Gangs, is an artful London blast by way of New Zealand. It's a distinct musical collage that sprinkles in Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Tom Waits and spices and flavors from the 60s. With Finn Andrew's vocals, Sophia Burn on bass, Dan Raishbrook on guitar and Henning Dietz on drums The Veils' third album grabs your ears right from the start with “Sit Down By The Fire”, a rocking hymn that has beautiful, heartfelt lyrics drunk with the dysphoria of a relationship coming to a close.

	Music Julie Doiron – I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day Released on Jagjaguwar, 3/10/09 By lynne angel (Feb 27, 2009) Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. The latest release from Julie Doiron, I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day, is both reminiscent of her days as bass player/singer of low-fi revolutionaries Eric’s Trip, and reflective of the long road traveled to reach her current perch in life. The lyrics -- blunt, playful and honest -- speak of the present time but the tendrils of music burst forth a full three hundred and sixty degrees, giving the listener insight into Doiron’s pilgrimage through the last sixteen years of her creative process.
