The Lacking Permanence

Aggressive metal-reggae-funk, which is not something I generally like, but this one has some sort of undermined charm to it.

Johnny Marr, who provided his distinctive liquid guitar sound to the Smiths and many others, returns with a solo album that shows not much has changed.

This southern gothic staple returns, with a bit less reverb but just as much agony and attitude.

The guitarist for Big Thief has a solo outing, and it's truly stellar. "Maybe" is a nice groove to kick things off.

Hooks as sharp as diamonds, girl/boy vocal harmonies, jangling guitars… what else do you need to play this summer?

Bold effort from this young musician, this set of introspective songs shows great skill and promise.

Some very young Canadians show plenty of promos with this pleasantly bratty set of indie guitar rock.

Hard-rocking, beer-chugging, smoke-breaking anthems from this Cleveland couple. They can also veer into weird and spooky.

In times fraught with misinformation, Ty Richards implores you to seek the truth.

Somewhere beyond easy genres is this woozy mix of indie soul and post-rock complication.
