New Releases Tuesday - 3/13

Outside of the new release by Radio Free Chicago favorite Baby Teeth, not much going on this week in New Releases land due to the fact that 99% of the music industry will be frolicking the streets of Austin this week. However, as a big fan of old school R.E.M., I was really amused to see the name "Mitch Easter" in the new releases section. Easter is easily best known for his work as the producer for R.E.M.'s early classics Murmur, Reckoning and the Chronic Town EP, but he also managed to record some of his own jangle-pop in the early 80s as a part of the band Let's Active. Now, some 18 years after the last Let's Active record, Easter has reemerged with his first ever solo release, titled Dynamico.
