Wild Pink – Still Coming Down
If Dulling The Horns was a rebirth for John Ross’ band, Still Coming Down is an abrupt loss of momentum.
Indie Rock
Westside Cowboy – It Goes On
Confident, varied, and unashamedly fun, It Goes On is an astonishing debut album that announces a bold new talent.
Slow Fiction – dollhouse
The NYC indie rockers explore dense arrangements on their introspective full-length debut, bringing their tension between smoothness and bite into sharp focus.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw – Cannonball
Man/Woman/Chainsaw have found the perfect sweet-spot between edgy weirdness and tasteful sophistication. Their glorious debut is a delight.
Yard Act – You’re Gonna Need A Little Music
The snarky Leeds band once again thrive on contradictions on their third LP, sucking you in with sumptuous grooves and then spitting you out with their blistering anguish.
Swapmeet – Mount Zero
Sometimes a debut album is just ok. Some good moments, some bad ones, but mostly in the middle. Mount Zero is one of those records. And that’s perfectly ok.
Hurry – Zoned Out
Philadelphia power pop stalwarts Hurry have delivered the goods on their consistently appealing sixth album.
