New releases from a couple of long-time Thrill Jockey staples hit store shelves today...futuristic robo-rockers Trans Am are back at it with their 8th(!) full-length record, Sex Change, and Chicago's #1 glam rocker, Bobby Conn, is back with his latest opus titled King for a Day. Also, as we previewed last week, another local label favorite, The High Llamas (Drag City), drop their latest release today titled Can Cladders.
