2010 hasn’t been around all that long, but so far it’s knee deep in good new music.  Today Baltimore’s Beach House releases Teen Dream, their third LP, which features the frighteningly beautiful “Norway”.  I say frightening because half the time when I listen to the song I think it’s scary and completely awful.  I say beautiful because when I’m in the mood for something a little bit out there it sounds incredibly lovely.  Here’s a few more interesting releases out today, along with a few previews - so you can spend your money wisely:
