The Lacking Details

Sparse and haunting, this minimal acoustic approach works well with Gibson’s unique fairy vocals.

Fast and furious punk blasts that are over by the time you catch up with the hook, keeping true to the Ramones’ quarter-mile aesthetic

Great set of non-stop rocking from this one-man-band which turned into a full-blown outfit.

Very carefully constructed selection of cavernous compositions studded with a grandiose feel, fine detail, and moody lyrics.

A modern amalgam of fuzz, psychedelia, baroque pop, and over-the-top production, filled with hooks baited with earworms.

Short blasts of punk fury. Many unsafe tracks, but the rest are a lot good quick fun.

It’s a fun party with Johnson, with his deep deep voice, laconic tone, and a boogie-down attitude from the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney

Despite the name, this is understated and minimalistic, with sparse instruments and a haunting voice floating on top.

A solid effort filled with gently sparkling guitar lines and subtle hooks, this manages to sound completely retro and current at the same time.

Like chocolate-covered potato chips, this mixture of disparate ingredients sounds unlikely but sounds delicious.
