Señores y señoras this weeks new releases features the new Jane’s Addiction album, The Great Escape Artist, and the band rocks as hard as they did back in 1988. Other new releases include the new Bjork album an ambient and artistic sound is used by this musical veteran. The Graffiti6 Free EP is also hitting our airwaves displaying Vampire Weekendesque jams. Less known artists Sal Bando and The Trophy Fire have released albums that use a punk, garage rock sound seen in artists like Jay Reatard and Blink 182.

Not everything is so obscure; we do get the latest from alt-country rock singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, titled Ashes & Fire. Check out more after the jump. (more…)
