The Roots

Each week, Spin This profiles the week's notable album releases via KUT's Texas Music Matters. This week: fresh off their stellar gig as the best late night talk show band in history, The Roots return with an album full of left-turns and high-profile guests. Also, the invigorating Nina Nastasia continues to break the boundaries of what a singer-songwriter should sound like, with the help of the irascible Steve Albini. All that and much, much more in our weekly rundown of notable music releases, available right here.
