The Lacking Permanence

Short blasts of raw fury, seething with rage, dirty keyboards, and quite a lot of fun.

Spencer delivers another trash-talkin’, leg-humpin’, hip-grindin’ album in his particular inimitable style.

A distinctive voice and a careful meandering through the forests between Americana and indie rock make this a memorable set of songs.

It was a cold night, but things were kept warm by a steady influx of Latin-tinged music and of course, Millie Small’s delightful warble.

Thoughtful and delicate, this collection of songs features a variety of near-pastoral pop tunes.

Posthumous release for this powerhouse soul singer. Perfect for a ‘70s cop drama.

A brief taste of Iron and Wine’s evolving style, filling out the expected introspective strumming with updated production and a fuller “band” feel.

A next-generation Neil Young, J Mascis blends massive guitar riffs, introspective lyrics, and a whiny delivery to great effect.

This is a smooth collection of beats and grooves filled with intricate chord work and surprising vocals.

Overthinking garage rock never goes out of style, and Interpol continues to put out albums that sound just like Interpol.
