Round Eye • Culture Shock Treatment
Imagine a heavy punk-core assault, one with a bad attitude, weird experimental asides, an unhinged vocalist, and a rhythm section suitable for pulverizing concrete. How do you take it to the next level? Add a saxophone.
Toro Y Moi • Outer Peace
The beat rules supreme, the instrumentation is slinky, the vocals are coaxing you to the dance floor, and the whole thing says you’re going to be up all night.
Speedy Ortiz • Twerp Verse
A powerful set of guitar pop songs, fronted by sometimes disaffected indie female vocals.
Naked Giants • Sluff
This goes all over the place, but mostly rocks hard with inventive arrangements and infectious hooks.
