Julian Lage :: Modern Lore
High-order guitar instrumentals more concerned with melody and expression than pyrotechnics. Truly ear-opening.
Various Artists :: Dr. Demento Covered In Punk
Take the most memorable weirdness to come out of Dr. Demento’s near-50-year reign and let a bunch of punks cover them.
Spice Boys :: Glade
More from this wave of reverb-drenched noisy Swedish psychedelia that we’re enjoying lately.
Shame :: Songs of Praise
Aggressive debut from this UK band features some highly dynamic songs loaded with twisty hooks.
Chris Thile :: Thanks for Listening
Thile (THEE-lee) is a world-class mandolinist who also happens to have replaced Garrison Keillor as the host of that Wobegon show. Subtle and introspective.
Walt Wagner :: Reworks
An interesting set of covers for solo piano, performed live
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings :: Soul of a Woman
Posthumous release from one of the strongest voices in modern soul.
Mr. Lif & Brass Menazeri :: Resilient
Cross-cultural collaboration mixes up a Balkan frenzy with dope beats and MC’ing
