Oh man, this is nasty. The kind of nasty that reminds you how nasty it is.
476. The Album Leaf – A Chorus of Storytellers
Dreams held tenuously.
477. Ra Ra Riot – The Rhumb Line
Tightly wound, perfectly paced, and intricate.
478. Hey Marseilles – To Travels & Trunks
This album bursts forth with an immediately recognizable purity.
479. The Cave Singers – Invitation Songs
This is the kind of recording that places an asterisk into your history book.
480. Augie March – Moo, You Bloody Choir
Defiance defines this record.
481. Beanfield – Human Patterns
Tight beats and jazzy riffs take over, leaving the listener wondering where they’ll go next.
482. Thousand Arrows – S/T
There isn’t anything on this record to hide behind. Nothing that will provide a false narrative, or allow you to pretend the weight isn’t crushing you.
483. The Skygreen Leopards – Disciples of California
The Skygreen Leopards and their honey dripping gold, legitimately lay claim to those memories with Disciples of California.
484. Broken Bells – S/T
This is at once a coalescence of those sensibilities and a sound that runs the gamut, creating a collection of songs that seem to be made for any number of desires.
