There is no harmony like brotherly harmony. Something indelible in the weave of voices and play of sensibilities is stamped into the fraternal DNA and also stems from a lifetime of shared experiences. You can hear it in classic brother acts across the musical spectrum, from the Louvin Brothers to the Everly Brothers and on down the decades through the Wilson brothers (Beach Boys), the Davies brothers (Kinks), the Allman Brothers and even the Brothers Gibb (a.k.a., the Bee Gees). You can clearly hear fraternal magic at work in the songs of Scott and Seth Avett, better known as the Avett Brothers, as well. That magic is abundantly evident on I and Love and You, the Avett Brothers' big-label debut, produced by Rick Rubin. Its 13 songs are delivered in a style that defies pigeonholing but might be described as a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop - even a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there. With I and Love and You, The Avett Brothers have taken a giant step forward.

Kings of Leon return with the release of their highly anticipated fourth album 'Only By The Night' on 22nd September through Columbia Records. 'Only By The Night' is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the bands previous albums 'Youth And Young Manhood', 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' & 'Because Of The Times', which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.
Despite a wave of criticism asserting that Kings of Leon's fourth full-length is "too commercial," Only by the Night may be the closest thing to a pitch-perfect album to drop in 2008. Granted, Tennessee's band of brothers (and one first cousin) takes a turn for the heavily polished here, but what the album lacks in rough-edged raunch, it more than makes up for in earnestness and--yes--stunning beauty. From the opening notes of "Closer" to the listing balladry of "Cold Desert," Only by the Night hardly misses a beat. Highlights abound, particularly in the trading off of melodic lines between instruments, and in this regard, bassist Jared Followill is the album's quiet MVP. Above these gorgeous instrumentals, singer Caleb emotes with a dramatic grit that never loses its command. A model of melodic rock composition, arranged and produced with a warm, inviting veneer, and performed with aching sincerity, these 11 tracks coalesce into a sanguine whole that eclipses the band's much-discussed rock posturing and yields more with every play. A good band's great album, Only by the Night (finally) establishes Kings of Leon as a rock act that's worthy of seriously sustained attention. --Jason Kirk

The Xx unique make-up is an inadvertent second nature marriage of 2009's urban/guitar tribes, in one corner fluttering new wave indebted reverberation, in the other, plumes of post-dubstep sub-bass and figuratively, their defining core of rich R&B vocal textures. The enveloping vocal partnership of Romy and Oliver is one that would've dropped-jaws in any decade this century, and set amidst a shivering soundscape of beats and plucks, their bedroom-reared concrete-soul is being justly heralded as the UK's most original and treasured alt. pop artifact of late.

Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers celebrate their long-standing passion for live performance on their upcoming release, Staring Down the Brilliant Dream. The 2-disc CD features 31 songs, each hand-selected by the GRAMMY®-winning duo to capture the most memorable moments of their 2006-2009 shows. The CD reflects the spontaneity of a typical Indigo's concert and includes a mix of solo performances and other numbers backed by their full band, plus vocal collaborations with such guests artists as Brandi Carlile and Jill Hennessey. Staring Down the Brilliant Dream encapsulates the wide range of emotions that fill their shows with fire and wonder, from the warm, sing-a-long spirit of Saliers' "Closer to Fine" to the political combustion of Ray's "Go." With two decades and countless concerts behind them, it would be understandable if the duo now found it hard to distinguish one concert from the next. Instead, as this CD proves, they remain as engaged and present onstage as ever. For each track, Saliers and Ray have penned personal notes on how they wrote the song, what they remember about that specific show, and why--among the thousands to chose from--they value this performance so much. This 2-disc set is a brilliant reminder of all those concerts we were lucky to catch--and consolation for the ones we hated to miss.

Isobel Campbell has worn any number of hats over the course of her remarkable decade and a half in music, from her stint as cellist and vocalist with Scottish indie-pop faves Belle and Sebastian to her role as bandleader in the Gentle Waves to her work as duet partner, arranger and producer on a series of acclaimed albums with former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan. Yet when it came to making her latest effort, a typically gorgeous collection of atmospheric roots tunes titled Hawk, Campbell says she felt most like she was wearing another hat entirely: that of movie director. "Some of my favorite bands are all about four guys in a room playing together," says the singer, who produced the album herself in a variety of locations, including Los Angeles, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Denmark and her native Glasgow. "But I guess things are a bit more complicated with me, where I kind of assemble these groups of players to execute the things I'm hearing in my head." Campbell laughs. "The older I get the more I enjoy the behind-the-scenes work in the studio, putting in ridiculously stupid hours with my engineers. I just love how everyone pitches in together." On Hawk--a word Campbell treasures for its symbolism and dual identities as both noun and verb--her co-conspirators include longtime partner Lanegan, who lends his distinctive blues-folk growl to eight of the album's 13 tracks; the young American singer Willy Mason; and former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, who contributes a dizzying dustbowl solo to "You Won't Me Let Down Again," one of a pair of tunes here co-written by Campbell and Jim McCulloch of the Soup Dragons. "When I'm imagining these sounds, I almost feel like it's my responsibility to make sure they happen in the real world," she says. "I don't think anyone else could do it in a way that seems right to me, you know? I'm sure when I get everyone together, they're all thinking, `Oh my God, what's she getting me to do?'" Beyond Campbell's movie-like working method, Hawk bears out the singer's invocation of the film world with lovingly arranged songs that conjure up visual scenes out of pure sound: a hopped-up honky-tonk in the rollicking "Get Behind Me," for example, or a lonely West Texas landscape in a bare-bones cover of "No Place to Fall" by the late Townes Van Zandt. In "Come Undone," meanwhile, Campbell and Lanegan layer their haunting harmonies over a string-enhanced doo-wop groove straight out of some phantom high-school sock hop. Though their partnership dates back to 2006, when they released the Mercury Prize-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas, Campbell says that her and Lanegan's artistic process has stayed largely the same over the intervening years. "Mark doesn't really change too much," she explains with a knowing chuckle. "When we're in the studio he always turns around to me and says, `I trust you to do all the heavy lifting.'" Still, Campbell is quick to add, the two artists' relationship has definitely matured. "We're very different singers, but we're both fans of each other's work," she explains. "So when we first met we were quite enamored with each other. Not that we're not anymore. But I feel a lot more comfortable working with Mark." She laughs. "I'll even ask him to try things I know he doesn't want to!"

Eclecticism has been a hallmark of Richard Patrick's career in Filter, and it's administered with crushing efficiency on The Trouble With Angels. Fans weaned on the industrial outbursts and corrosive beats of 1995's Short Bus and 1999's Title of Record will be ecstatic to hear Patrick's unmistakable scream and unflinching honesty dominating the new album.
On the surface, leadoff single 'The Inevitable Relapse' details a shattered man succumbing to addiction, but can be read as a study of love lost, consumption or obsession, depending on your perspective. '...it's really a love song' says Richard.
Filter's The Trouble With Angels contains Richard Patrick's strongest, most aggressive songwriting yet.

The first original album since 2000 from modern rock superheroes Green Day, American Idiot is one of the most anticipated and controversial albums of the year. Scathing yet self-effacing as it tells the tale of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, American Idiot is the punk rock epic. "A bold, polished punk opera." (Entertainment Weekly) "They're the biggest, most successful, punk band the world has ever seen. What's more, Green Day's next album may well be their masterpiece." (Kerrang!)
For its first new set of music since 2000's Warning, Green Day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected: a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the Beatles and Pink Floyd. "She's a Rebel" and "St. Jimmy" might sound like vintage Green Day, but the rest of the disc finds the Northern California trio trying on a variety of different guises: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is a cliché-strewn Foo Fighters-style power ballad; "Extraordinary Girl" floats on Indian strings; and the hushed "Wake Me Up When September Ends" wouldn't sound entirely out of place on a Jessica Simpson record. It doesn't always work. "Dearly Beloved" eerily resembles the Alarm's "68 Guns," while the title track eerily resembles something Green Day has already done far too many times. But, overall, American Idiot represents a promising step forward. --Aidin Vaziri

Singer Michael Stipe finally confesses that even he doesn't know what he's trying to say--among the lines flying by are "tryin' to tell you something we don't know" and "there's something going on that's not quite right." But R.E.M.'s roar is at its sharpest, as Peter Buck's guitars twist up surf riffs and the Bill Berry-Mike Mills rhythm section captures the force of forebears Big Star and the Byrds. After half a decade of college-rock heroism, R.E.M. achieved its first hit album thanks to the rambling "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" and the gentle (but subtly barbed) "The One I Love." --Steve Knopper
