The Lacking Details

Wildly varied compositions, ranging from driving fuzz with vocal harmonies to sparse tributes that sound like they came from "My Aim Is True” outtakes, to outright cowboy dirges

Moody, semi-whispered low vocals and reverb-drenched guitar twang make for some very cinematic material.

Supergroup featuring members from the Young Fresh Fellows, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney and Baseball Project, driven by Peter Buck and Corin Tucker’s songwriting. Sounds like what you’d expect it to sound like.

Danish female-fronted trio with punishing riffage and dramatic vocals

Good southern-tinged rock, anthemic and singalong. Nothing ground-breaking, but top-notch songwriting and production.

Synth-driven songs in a variety of moods, emboldened by a careful interplay of vocals and textures.

There is nothing about Whitney Rose’s country music that sets it apart from the archetype of a traditional female country singer, but great vocals and top-notch performances by an all-star cast of studio musicians make this a fun listen.

Anthemic songs filled with dramatic dynamics and playing that ranges between thunderous and ethereal.

Aggressive, guitar-inflected punk, led by females unafraid to yell out lyrics in Spanglish… either precisely your cup of tea or an aggravating experience,

At the extreme end of DIY is DEY — do everything yourself. It’s a unique solipsistic sound, and Stoltz is very good at it, blending a variety of rock, psych, and synth influences into his own sound.
