Photobucket
Color Theory announced the release date for the new album "Adjustments Pt. 1". It is the first collection of original material in nearly two years. The 10-track EP will be released on June 12, but you can pre-order it now for $6.99.

Essential Buy: Violens "True"

violens_006_small20

This is an essential album for 2012. You can stream it here and read the band's reasoning behind each track. Violens manages to bring the early 90's feel to today's short-attention-span ear-bud music fan.

 Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
I thought this had enough synthpop elements to warrant sharing. Interesting to hear The Crystal Method holding back and not making this track all them. Shipping of Meiko's "The Bright Side" album begins next week. The whole album is streaming on MySpace.
