Based on his remarks in our interview with his band a year ago about logging copious hours jacked into his beloved Japanese 8-track machine and Fruity Loops, it's little surprise that Johnny Foreigner drummer Junior Elvis Washington Laidley has finally revealed a bedroom project, the beats-and-electronics concern Fridge Poetry .

You'd think with his involvement in the recent reunion of Archers of Loaf that Eric Bachmann might set aside his long-running solo project for a while.

It's fitting that as KEXP broadcasts for the first time internationally from the KEX Hostel in Reykjavik, Iceland, that the most well-known singer from that country, Björk , would be putting out a new album and topping this week's list of new releases.

Archers of Loaf played Sasquatch (pics, stream, more dates)

"In many ways, Archers of Loaf are a lot like their Sasquatch billmates Guided By Voices: a canonical indie band long out of commission, whose hooky guitar rock has only grown more beloved in the years they've been away. Lead man Eric Bachmann has kept busy since the Archers hung it up in 1998, releasing records under his own name and as Crooked Fingers. But for fans who thought they'd never hear "Web In Front" live again, the band's current string of reunion dates is a welcome surprise." [ listen at NPR ] Archers of Loaf played Sasquatch on Monday.

By turns haunting, evocative, ethereal, and raucous, the songs of My Jerusalem are rock 'n' roll practiced at the highest level; rock 'n' roll as Art. Yes, friends, My Jerusalem make music of a caliber that merits even the pretentious use of the capital "a" in Art.
