Keeping things short this week: Not many new albums to review, but there were three pretty solid releases. New music from Fleet Foxes, Dodos, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Dum Dum Girls dropped, James Blake’s excellently chilly ‘The Wilhelm Scream‘ takes top honors this week, and rap music continues to suck this year. Everything is listed under the covers:
