Tuesday New Releases: The Deadly Syndrome, Film School, Pinback, & More

The Deadly Syndrome's debut album The Ortolan is out on Dim Mak today and damn if it's nice to see local boys make good ... cd. They've been one of the best new acts in LA over the last year, so let's hope the rest of the country comes to appreciate them as much as we do.

Film School’s Hideout and Pinback’s Autumn Of The Seraphs are a few of this week's other most promising new albums. (Little Radio gave a good review to the former and I’ve heard a few solid tracks on the latter -- though it might not quite be the gem that was Summer in Abaddon.)

Here are some of the other other highlights for this week:

Ani DiFranco Canon 2xCD greatest hits
Animal Collective Strawberry Jam
Dirty Projectors Rise Above
Figurines When the Deer Wore Blue
Black Francis Bluefinger
The Go! Team Proof Of Youth
Hot Hot Heat Happiness Ltd
Emma Pollock Watch The Fireworks
Qui Love's Miracle
Jonathan Rice Further North
Shout Out Louds Our Ill
Siouxsie Into a Swan, Pt. 1

And did you get the Ferraby Lionheart’s Catch the Brass Ring album last week? His EP was really fantastic and he’s great live, so I mean to pick it up soon.
