New & Upcoming Album Releases:  Alexisonfire Cover the Tragically Hip on Upcoming '90s CanRock Covers Record

This week also sees new releases from Amy Millan, AV & The Inner City and more.

Taylor Swift dominates headlines this week with her new album The Life of a Showgirl, but there are more new releases worth your attention as well.

Amy Millan has found indie rock acclaim via Stars and Broken Social Scene. She released her first solo album in over 16 years, I Went To Find You, back in the spring, to enthusiastic response. This week, she put out I Went To Find You (Redux), a four-track add-on EP comprising fresh takes on four of the original album's singles. These are described as having an autumnal vibe, "with a contextual, sonic vibe closely associated with Millan's first two albums, Honey From the Tombs (2006), and Masters of The Burial (2009)." The new cuts feature guest members of Bahamas and Zeus on various instruments, vocals, and production. Millan began a solo North American tour this week, and it will feature shows in Montreal, Ottawa, Lake County, B.C. and Vancouver.
