Much as is the way for the singles, this seems to be a week of some fairly high-value releases on the album front, with follow up albums from Vampire Weekend (the feverishly anticipated and thoroughly leaked Contra) and These New Puritans (the stringtastic Hidden), as well as Minor Love, the long overdue new long-player from Adam Green and Acolyte, the super-hyped debut from Manchester bleep outfit Delphic. In the less travelled (though well-blogged) corners of the shelves though, other little gems dwell in the shape of albums from The Irrepressibles, Neon Indian and the excellent Erland And The Carnival (pictured).
