The Cribs album For All My Sisters out today

The Cribs have been putting out solid indie-alternative guitar rock since 2004. Along the way they've had Johnny Marr in the band. They've just released a new album called For All My Sisters. Ric Ocasek produced the album that they've proclaimed as their "poppiest record since Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever". This post should catch us up on the tunes they've released so far.

"Burning for No One"

"Different Angle"

"An Ivory Hand"

New video from The Cribs' new album

As I posted before, The Cribs have a new album In the Belly of the Brazen Bull coming out on May 8.  They had previously released a song called "Chi-Town" on a free sampler. Now they've released a video for "Come On, Be A No One". Here it is! Good tune!

New Cribs track on free sampler

The Cribs have released a 5 track sampler that you can download for free here.  It contains a brand new song called "Chi-Town".  It's from their forthcoming new album In the Belly of the Brazen Bull which is out May 8. They're back down to a 3-piece for this release - Johnny Marr's not on board for this one.

Check out the new track.  It pounds.



And if you're just getting acquainted with The Cribs, here's one of my fave tunes from 2007's Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever.  It's "Men's Needs".

The Cribs New Single "Cheat On Me" Out Now

I mentioned before that The Cribs have a new album coming out. The first single from Ignore the Ignorant, "Cheat on Me", is available on iTunes. The album's out September 8 and is available in a regular and a deluxe version. The deluxe version comes with 12 songs recorded at The Ritz.

The Cribs' New Album Has A Release Date

The more I listen to The Cribs, the more I like them. As they progress through their career, the more I like them. I like each album more than the last. I hope this continues with their new album Ignore the Ignorant which comes out September 8 in the UK and November 10 in North America. Brooklyn Vegan has the scoop and mentions that the digital version comes out the same date as the UK release. Probably smart as you know the album would be available worldwide via torrent.

There's a free mp3 for the song "We Were Aborted" as well. Good loud guitars off the top. Gotta like it. A good fast song. Sounds like The Cribs, alright. Then there's a half-tempo break-down part for the first chorus. Nice.

If you're not familiar with their older stuff, here's "Men's Needs" from Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever



And here's "Our Bovine Public", also from Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever



Also of note is that something I've noticed anecdotally is actually official. I thought that more bands on myspace (who just purchased iLike) were getting wise to the fact that I might not want their song to auto-play when I arrive on their page. I might already be listening to something else. Well, according to Hypebot, it's a conscious decision. Even though it seems to be selfishly motivated by a desire to claw back on bandwidth, I'm happy about it because it improves my user experience.

And while I floated over to myspace, I saw that Lights has a new video premiering. It's for a song called "Saviour" and while it's not the kind of music I usually gravitate to, I do have a weakness for a good, cutesy pop song. This fits the bill.
