Editor's Note: Yes, this week's Music Monday is technically published on a Tuesday, but "Music Tuesday" just doesn't sound as good.

This week's new releases

Each title listed below will go on sale beginning Tuesday, October 16 unless otherwise indicated. Click on any LISTEN link to listen to a free, streaming version of the entire album (typically, available only during the week of release); streaming links go to AOL Music unless otherwise indicated. The week's most noteworthy releases are starred.

Jason Aldean Night Train

Trey Anastasio Traveler LISTEN (Rolling Stone)

Anberlin Vital

Marco Beltrami Trouble with the Curve OST

Boys Noize Out of the Black LISTEN (3voor12)

Brandy Two Eleven LISTEN

Current Swell Long Time Ago

Daphni
Jiaolong LISTEN (Soundcloud)

You might not know Daphni, but you may know its sole member: Dan Snaith, the math PhD (really) who usually records under the name Caribou (or, before that, Manitoba). But while Caribou is known for meticulously layered compositions, the minimal techno sound of Daphni is aimed straight for the dancefloor. After a few 12-inch singles released last year (including one split with Four Tet), Daphni's full-length debut Jiaolong arrives this week via Merge, a label not normally known for this type of music.

Benjamin Gibbard
Former Lives LISTEN (YouTube)

Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard has been known to take a break from his main band to work on side projects (most notably, The Postal Service) from time to time, but this week's Barsuk release Former Lives is his first ever solo LP. The 12 songs here—which demonstrate a stylistic diversity (including, on one song, a mariachi band) not usually present on Death Cab albums—were written and recorded at various times during Gibbard's career, and while he's performed a few of them live, none have been released previously. Gibbard's Death Cab bandmate Chris Walla is also working on a solo album, though that won't surface until 2013 at the earliest.

Jason Lytle
Dept. of Disappearance LISTEN

While sorely missed California indie rockers Grandaddy did reunite this summer for a short tour, it doesn't look like a new album is coming anytime soon. So fans will have to make do with Dept. of Disappearance, the second solo album from Grandaddy frontman and new Montana resident Jason Lytle. Listen to tracks like the title cut, and you'll certainly think you're listening to a Grandaddy record.
