Juliana Hatfield :: Blood
Hatfield’s relentless output is given some inventive production, and I have to pause to carefully listen. There’s a lot to unpack, sonically and lyrically, and it refuses to fade into the background.
Shook Twins :: Some Good Lives
Solid songs that mix a generous dollop of traditional country elements with a big scoop of indie pop.
Waxahatchee :: Out In The Storm
A bold performance from Katie Crutchfield, who bares her heart and rips her chords out in a cathartic explosion that eventually winds down into a somber mood.
AK/DK :: Strange Loops
If you dig a big fat sawtooth wave riff standing in the front and nearly hitting you in the face with the mic stand, then Brighton's AK/DK has your number. Turn it up and ready yourself to spasm uncontrollably.
