New Albums By Cast and Babybird Out Now!

It may interest some of you to hear of new albums by Cast and Babybird (both are excellent!) so decided to tell y'all.
Babybird's new album is called The Pleasures Of Self Destruction, and is in my opinion one of the best albums of the year. Most people seem to only know You're Gorgeous, but they have an excellent and consistent back catalogue that is very much worth checking out. This and 2009's Ex-Maniac are probably my favourites.
Cast's latest effort, and their first since 2001's questionable Beetroot, is also excellent. The sound is not far removed from their 90's heyday, although there are influences from both John's solo career and The La's on a couple of songs. The album has only been released to those who have pledged on Pledgemusic, although it shouldn't be too hard to find a link. It will be out in a couple of months for non-pledgers.

Both albums are very much worth a listen!
