juliancasablancasToday marked the official CD release of The Strokes' Julian Casablancas' debut solo album, Phrazes For The Young. So far, the album is mostly a departure from The Strokes guitar heavy sound, which lets Casablancas explore a more eclectic territory, which he does very nicely, raising his status as a talented singer, songwriter and musician.

Other new releases today include the delicious pop of The Swimmers sophomore LP, as well as killer fresh tracks from Yeasayer, Laarks and Holopaw. Don't miss four additional impressive tracks from a new electro pop compilation out today.

"11th Dimension" - Julian Casablancas from Phrazes For The Young (2009)
Double-shot: "Glass" - Julian Casablancas from Phrazes For The Young (2009)

"A Hundred Hearts" - The Swimmers from People Are Soft (2009)

"Ambling Alp" - Yeasayer from Ambling Alp (2009)

"All the Words You Can't Say Right" - Laarks from An Exaltation of Laarks (2009)

"The Art Teacher and the Little Stallion" - Holopaw from Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness (2009)

We're excited to bring you four tracks from a brand new 24-track compilation release from Ghostly International's affiliate label, Moongadget, titled Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites. Among the two dozen songs on the compilation are terrific tunes from band-to-watch New Villager, the swirling hip-pop of artist Mux Mool, the minimalistic groove and banjo picking of Shigeto, and the dreamy electro-pop hooks and beats of Worst Friends.

The label describes the compilation as a "lovingly assembled mixtape, compiling brief, catchy, electronic-minded pop songs built for obsessive repeat listening." Word! Plus, it's a great deal - only $12 for the double CD, or download all 24 MP3s for $10 at Ghostly's website.

"Rich Doors" - New Villager from Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites (2009)

"Ballad of Gloria Featherbottom" - Mux Mool from Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites (2009)

"Is This All for Real" - Shigeto from Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites (2009)

"I Wish I Don't Drop Dead" - Worst Friends from Moongadget: Nocturnal Suites (2009)
