If twee pop is more your flavor of dreamy, you\u2019ll love the tones of nostalgia, love and heartbreak laced through Rocketship\u2019s 30-year anniversary reissue of <i>A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Do you like your visions to be more propulsive? Then look for Liverpool\u2019s electronic synth-pop pros Ladytron to soundtrack a more dance-y dreamscape. Or you can go full-blown theatrical and snag that vinyl of the <i>Song Sung Blue<\/i> soundtrack. It\u2019s finally out on sparkly blue wax so you can sing along with those who chronicled Milwaukee\u2019s Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning &amp; Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Music Friday!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">Best new albums out March 20<\/h3>\n<p><b>Colleen, <\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/colleencolleen.bandcamp.com\/album\/libres-antes-del-final\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i><u>Libres antes del final<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Colleen is the electronic music project of French producer and musician C\u00e9cile Schott. As Colleen, she crafts incredibly beautiful electronic soundscapes that are purely instrumental, but one sometimes forgets this because the arrangements are so playful and engaging. It\u2019s just the thing to listen to when you want a little breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>This newest record translates to \u201cfree before the end,\u201d which Colleen says was inspired by her experience of learning to swim as an adult. Her album is out on indie-exclusive \u201ccloud vinyl\u201d today from longtime label Thrill Jockey Records via any local record shop.<\/p>\n<p><b>Various Artists, <\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/atthemoviesshop.com\/products\/song-sung-blue-vinyl-soundtrack\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i><u>Song Sung Blue<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> (soundtrack)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This one should be dear to Milwaukeeans\u2019 hearts.

The Liverpool-based group is always such a fun and dance-y listen \u2014 an instant mood-booster. They\u2019ve been around since 1999 but very recently resurfaced on TikTok with a feature of their iconic 2002 single, \u201cSeventeen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their newest songs demonstrate their staying power by remaining true to their sonic roots. You can snag the record on classic black vinyl at your local shop, or for those who like to grab the indie exclusive, a green marbled variant is available via Nettwerk Records.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rocketship, <\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rocketship.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-certain-smile-a-certain-sadness-30th-anniversary-edition\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i><u>A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twee pop band Rocketship released one of the greatest records of the 1990s (according to Tanner), and it\u2019s getting a fresh pressing.
