Melkbelly • PITH

Sultry, measured vocals are set off against an array of spiky arrangements and instrumental bursts, song parts constantly evolving and mutating, so that little finishes the way it started.

Fat Freddy's Drop &bull; <i>SLO MO</i>

Fat Freddy's Drop • SLO MO

Deerhoof &bull; <i>Actually You Can</i>

Deerhoof • Actually You Can

Featuring a thunderous rhythm section unafraid to venture into lockstepped odd grooves, a guitar team willing to weave in and out of those sonic pylons in tandem, and a beguiling childlike voice floating above it all, this is your standard Deerhoof.

Bachelor • Doomin’ Sun
