Vivian Girls &bull; <i>Memory</i>

Vivian Girls • Memory

The girl group aesthetic survives, drenched in spring reverb and distant crooning, and it’s not just unscathed, it’s very agitated and ready to rip throats.

Jay Som &bull; <i>Anak Ko</i>

Jay Som • Anak Ko

Understated but solid set of songs with a strong female vocal presence. There’s a loving interlocking of guitar, bass, and keyboard lines that gives the music a rich and interesting texture.

Generationals &bull; <i>Reader As Detective</i>

Generationals • Reader As Detective

Electronic drums, layers and filigrees of keyboards, and falsetto choruses make for some glossy synthesizer soul music that wouldn’t be out of place on a late Eighties dance floor.
