The Lacking Details

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

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

Another one-man rock act that wears its influences on its sleeve, but it’s well done so don’t take that as a complaint. Highly political.

A brilliant collection of indie pop gems, featuring the sounds and hooks that made “alternative music” so great in the first place.

La Luz takes everything that’s great about surf rock and dreamy girl vocals, gives it a new coat of paint, fills it with high-octane, and dares you to keep up.

King Tuff clearly has a rock and roll heart, with the sort of grandiose expression that has a southern blues charm.

Wildly dynamic swings of mood from this rock-format combo, filled with sweet chiming vocal harmonies set against dissonance and rhythm.

Good collection of indie rock music, with influences stretching over several decades and a good variety of sounds.

Is it experimental psychedelia or is it the soundtrack to a fragmented dream? It is not necessary to decide.

Washes of sound surround you as half-heard vocals intertwine with half-remembered melodies.
