Youth Lagoon • Rarely Do I Dream
It's somehow light and airy, yet moody and brooding, and though it should be easy to find the half-whispered croon of the vocals creepy, it's just the sound of someone taking you in confidence as they lead you into the deep, dark forest.
The Love Language • Baby Grand
Swirling with electronic highlights, these emotional songs provide multiple layers, angelic choruses, and expressive lyrics.
The Rock*A*Teens • Sixth House
This southern gothic staple returns, with a bit less reverb but just as much agony and attitude.
Dr. Dog • Critical Equation
The band returns with more of their particular brand of folksy psychedelia. Lots of great hooks and harmonies, as usual.
