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 • 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 • 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.
Palehound • Black Friday
Nice indie guitar sounds, with whispery vocals and a meandering melodic spirit.
