The Rock*A*Teens :: Sixth House
This southern gothic staple returns, with a bit less reverb but just as much agony and attitude.
A Giant Dog :: Toy
Good collection of power pop, with male / female / duet vocals.
Mikal Cronin :: Switched-On Seeker

The Mountain Goats :: Songs for Pierre Chuvin
No topic is too esoteric for John Darnielle to base an entire Mountain Goats album on, not even the persecution of pagans as a wave of Christianity moved through Europe in the middle ages.
