Listen to new albums from Coheed and Cambria and Ben Gibbard

Earlier this month, I wrote about two new albums from Coheed and Cambria. They are called The Afterman: Ascension and The Afterman: Descension. The first one actually already came out this week (October 9) and the second one is set to be in stores sometime in February 2013.

If you are not decided yet whether you wanna buy the album or not, you can first listen to it and then decide because it is available to stream via Rolling Stone magazine. I gave it a try once and it sounds really good.

Frontman of Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard, is also releasing a new album. It will be his debut effort as a solo artist. It is entitled Former Lives and it will be out next week (October 16).

And you can also stream it in its entirety, this time via YouTube. I can't get off the feeling though that it sounds too much like album from his main band. I've said it already and I'll say it again - what's the point of doing a solo album when it sounds exactly like Death Cab for Cutie record? Anyway, give it a try below.
