Kyle Craft &bull; <i>Showboat Honey</i>

Kyle Craft • Showboat Honey

This is salty, and tangy, and spicy, and sweet, like the musical equivalent of a Mexican tamarind candy. It sounds so Sixties and Seventies that it must be from Today.

FIDLAR &bull; <i>SURVIVING THE DREAM</i>

FIDLAR • SURVIVING THE DREAM

Another band with a well-earned penchant for ALL-CAPS, overbrimming with adolescent incorrigible behavior sung about from the perspective of adults proving it is indeed corrigible. The music is hyper-pop-punk and the irony levels are high.

Ty Segall &bull; <i>Harmonizer</i>

Ty Segall • Harmonizer

Ty’s arsenal of instrumentation continues to grow, as he fills out his domain of prog-rock, stoner drones, glam trash, and other Seventies detritus with keyboards, more keyboards, and an evolving sense of studio wizardry.

Hearty Har &bull; <i>Radio Astro</i>

Hearty Har • Radio Astro

Rock and roll is absent from the charts, and you’d hardly know there is a serious revival going on, this slab of shimmering paisley from the Fogerty kids being a prime example. Get your riffs, hooks, choruses, and more right here.
