Each Tuesday stop by Muzzle of Bees for our recommended purchases for the week. Here are the albums we suggest for the release date of June 19th:

Artist: The White Stripes
Album: Icky Thump
Label: Warner Brothers
Myspace: The White Stripes
Video: Icky Thump
MoB: After a blistering performance in the Tennessee heat at Bonnaroo, the band release their Pitchfork approved album today. They’ll soon embark on a huge US tour with a two-night stint with the Cold War Kids closing things down at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

Artist: The Polyphonic Spree
Album: The Fragile Army
Myspace: The Polyphonic Spree
Label: TVT Records
MoB: I’m half in love with this album. Songs like, “I Taught Myself How To Grow Old” and “Two” are ones that I find myself listening to a lot, and then there are the songs like “Halloween Head” that make me wish it would have been left on the cutting room floor. Regardless, everything I read says that Ryan is in good health and kicked the bottle, which means I may finally see a live performance from him that’s worth the ticket price.
