Bird Streets :: Bird Streets
Smart guitar pop never goes out of style, and sharp lyrics make it all the better.
Laura Gibson :: Goners
Sparse and haunting, this minimal acoustic approach works well with Gibson’s unique fairy vocals.
Carbonas :: Your Moral Superior
Fast and furious punk blasts that are over by the time you catch up with the hook, keeping true to the Ramones’ quarter-mile aesthetic
Cloud Nothings :: Last Building Burning
Great set of non-stop rocking from this one-man-band which turned into a full-blown outfit.
Mass Gothic :: I’ve Tortured You Long Enough
Very carefully constructed selection of cavernous compositions studded with a grandiose feel, fine detail, and moody lyrics.
White Denim :: Performance
A modern amalgam of fuzz, psychedelia, baroque pop, and over-the-top production, filled with hooks baited with earworms.
Sick Thoughts :: Sick Thoughts
Short blasts of punk fury. Many unsafe tracks, but the rest are a lot good quick fun.
Calvin Johnson :: A Wonderful Beast
It’s a fun party with Johnson, with his deep deep voice, laconic tone, and a boogie-down attitude from the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney
