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 May 20th:

Artist: The National
Album: A Skin, A Night / The Virginia EP
Label: Beggars Banquet
Myspace: The National
MP3: The National – “Fake Empire”
Video: The National – “About Today”
Upcoming: 5/20 – A Skin, A Night Film Screening – Majestic Theatre, Madison
MoB: The National captured through the lens of Vincent Moon, now available on DVD and presented with the equally impressive accompanying EP containing outtakes and rarities. An absolute must for anyone who hold Alligator and Boxer close to their heart of hearts.

Artist: Bonnie Prince Billy
Album: Lie Down In The Light
Label: Drag City
Myspace: Bonnie Prince Billy
M4A: Bonnie Prince Billy – “So Everyone”
Video: Bonnie Prince Billy – “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh” (Bill Withers)
MoB: By now long-time fans should have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Bonnie Prince Billy records and this one is no different. Filled up with lush and inviting compositions heavy on the strings and harmonies. A strong addition to an already impressive catalog.
