The Mommyheads :: Age of Isolation
The lush instrumentation and arrangements carry the incisive lyrics like a deep blue velvet cushion holding a surgical scalpel. The songs on this concept album seem to be coming out in real time, making more sense tomorrow than they did yesterday.
Cones :: Pictures of Pictures
Solid guitar and keyboard pop, on the gentle dreamy side, with whispery singing and sharp arrangements.
Toro Y Moi :: Outer Peace
The beat rules supreme, the instrumentation is slinky, the vocals are coaxing you to the dance floor, and the whole thing says you’re going to be up all night.
Cloud Nothings :: Last Building Burning
Great set of non-stop rocking from this one-man-band which turned into a full-blown outfit.
