131 plater i april

Blant de mest profilerte plateutgivelsene denne måneden blir utvilsomt Erlend Øyes bidrag til DJ Kicks-serien. Platen har allerede fått gode kritikker flere uker før slippet. Og at Sonic Youth gir ut plate på lille norske Smalltown Supersound må vel regnes som en aldri så liten sensasjon.

De politiske punkerne i Chumbawamba er sikkert like forbanna, engasjerte og fengende som før. De slipper sin Un i slutten av måneden. Det ser dessuten til å bli en bra måned for postrock-interesserte med nye plater fra fantastiske Múm, Tortoise og ikke minst norske Salvatore. Vi nevner også at trivelige The Divine Comedy er klare med ny plate i begynnelsen av april.

Retroutgivelser er for det meste utelatt fra listen. Men det er sikkert flere som blir glade når de hører at Weezers Blue Album kommer i deluxeutgave med live- og demomateriale. Johnny Cash gir stadig ut plater til tross for at han ikke lenger er blant oss. Denne gangen får vi My Mother’s Hymnbook fra Unearthed-boksen som en egen utgivelse.

Vi minner om at denne listen på ingen måte gir seg ut for å være komplett og at overraskelser og uheldige unnlatelser må beregnes. Vi tar også forbehold om faktiske feil.
