Witchcraft || Listen

Compared to their self titled debut and Firewood, their 2005 sophomore release, The Alchemist is definitely the band’s strongest effort. The band’s no longer so reliant on Bobby Liebling for inspiration that you feel the need to check the songwriting credits. Sure, I doubt the band will ever be able to fully shake the influence of their elders (“Hey Doctor” is almost scary the way it channels Sabbath so effectively), but they compensate with superior songs that don’t fit neatly in the “stoner” or “doom” categories. There’s a grace and fluidity to tracks like “Walk Between the Lines,” “If Crimson Was Your Colour” (previously released on the limited edition split of the same name), and the three-part title track, and the band often plays with an almost progressive melody. That comes to a head with “Samaritan Burden,” the fifth song and highlight of The Alchemist. Here the band (vocalist/guitarist Magnus Pelander, guitarist John Hayes, bassist Ola Henriksson, and new drummer Fredrik Jansson) lays into a low simmering groove that’s accented by some great guitar accents and an overall masterful push-pull dynamic. With a song like this, you’d expect it to build up and then cut loose with a bombastic outro, but Witchcraft goes the opposite direction, ending in an almost folk-like manner. The interplay between the two guitars is simply beautiful. - Stonerrock.com

Black Mountain || Listen

“Black Mountain hits somewhere between Jerk With a Bomb’s stellar but more straightforward Pyrokinesis and Pink Mountaintops’ smarmy, sex-laden brand of vespertine blues– only jacked up a good 20 decibels. McBean’s voice is pleasant and instantly recognizable; having such an established songwriter behind a freshman outing is a tremendous advantage, and Black Mountain seem to know it. When the band aren’t venturing on plush, static jams, his coy bluesy vocals tether the songs in familiar melodic space.” - Pitchfork

David Kilgour || Listen

“There’s something incandescent about David Kilgour’s sound, an echoey surreality, a spiritual immanence that can’t quite be contained in the simple melodies he strums and sings. Whether it’s how he records or how he plays or just how he is, his songs have always been more than the sum of their parts, luminous, mysterious and inexplicably gorgeous. Since his days with the Clean, Kilgour has recorded six full-length solo albums, full of light and dotted with epiphanies but couched in modest psyche-folk-pop terms.” - PopMatters

Moris Tepper || Listen

“Moris Tepper proves a chameleon on Head Off, taking on and turning out the traditions of folk, blues, and brash, bleating exploration. Multiple avenues and dusty dirt roads intersect with Tepper’s muse, which is fitting for a guy who played guitar with Captain Beefheart on Bat Chain Puller and has gone on to collaborations with types like Frank Black and Robyn Hitchcock. Head Off takes its time exploring those roads and avenues, guided at all times by Tepper’s soulful groan, which itself transforms from Waitsian mutter (another past collaborator) to crumpled speaker cone whinny with steady-as-he-goes regularity. The result is a record that threatens to ramble but rarely does, and tempers its moves toward mature singer/songwriter territory with a handful of busted, freaky, and lurching howls.” - Pitchfork

Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror makes music to be listened to late in the evening, when such music is truly necessary. Songwriter Matthew Lindgren left Los Angeles to live in Spain for five years to gather inspiration from the bottoms of absinthe bottles, and returned with a collection of songs (recorded with help from kindred spirits in The Warlocks and The Brian Jonestown Massacre) variously described as “Spiritualized with Spanish guitars,” “Leonard Cohen fronting the Bad Seeds”, “Elvis, but only Elvis at Sun”, “The resurrection of Cash”, or “Breakup songs for brokedown people.” Magic Mirror strongly encourages you to listen for yourself. Fervent and romantic believers in the power of throbbing vintage organ seeping through reverb soaked guitars and haunted vocal harmonies delivering a beautiful, though bitter sermon, Magic Mirror sings songs to touch nerves in new ways and to help those who need help in the dark.

Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs || Listen

Picture a clearing in Wyoming, just gone midnight. The campfire slowly burns and hipflasks of bourbon are passed between calloused cowboy hands. A tied horse snorts and paws the ground, while a pretty cowgirl plucks at her guitar and sings throatily of men who’ve done her wrong. Hear that music? Well, that’s exactly what You Can’t Buy A Gun When You’re Crying sounds like. Which is fairly extraordinary, considering Holly Golightly is from East Sussex, not the Wild West. Over eleven albums in as many years, Golightly achieved cult fame with her idiosyncratic take on Western country, rockabilly and bluegrass, before a collaboration with the White Stripes introduced her to a far greater audience. But fans worried that fame would go to Golightly’s head can rest easy: this new collaboration with ‘Lawyer’ Dave is as determinedly low key and lo-fi as ever. There is no Nelly Furtado style reinvention here. Indeed, collaborating with a genuine Texan seems to have ignited an even more stubborn passion for pre-electric country in her belly. - BBC

Redd Kross || Listen
Redd Kross rank among the Iron Chefs of Rock ‘N Roll; able to take any secret ingredient, master it, and make it their own. Their reputation for originality, rich flavor and stunning presentation has been praised by such peers as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Stone Temple Pilots, The Mayor of Sunset Strip - Rodney Bingenheimer, and yes even Joe Elliot of Def Leppard. Ever evolving and changing, their music has been described as punk rock, power pop, experimental, glam, performance art, British Invasion, bubblegum, grunge, and heavy metal; and while it’s been part of all of these, it’s also most importantly, been something all of it’s own. Hailing from Hawthorne CA, home of the Beach Boys, Redd Kross began playing shows and releasing records before attending high school. Founding Brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald have always understood and openly embraced the obscure common threads of their influences and inspirations. Where most people see differences, the McDonald Brothers find quirky commonalities and artistic piety in both high-brow and low-brow pop culture.

Meshell Ndegeocello || Listen

With the upcoming release of The World Has Made Me The Man Of My Dreams (September 25 / Emarcy), Meshell Ndegeocello releases her 7th musical wonder to the world. Channelled through orchestral soundscapes and an unapologetic punk aesthetic, Meshell questions the inevitable, inconceivable brutality of the world with an arsenal of familiar themes: faith, rage, despair, fleeting joy and nagging doubt.

For those who jones for the devastating bass lines and aching lyrics of prior releases, The World Has Made Me The Man Of My Dreams does not disappoint. With contributions from kindred musical souls Pat Metheny, saxophonist Oliver Lake, Doyle Bramhall II, vocalists Thandiswa Mazwai and Oumou Sangare, and keyboard heavyweights Jason Lindner and Robert Glasper, The World Has Made Me The Man Of My Dreams is a continuation of the journey - a quest for truth, a plea for beauty, and an elegy for former selves. That said, the truest hallmark of a Meshell Ndegeocello record is in its honest evolution from the last, from any before, and as another stop on the way to transcendence.

The Gray Kid || Listen
Just what them cool kids have been waiting for: the hipster Justin Timberlake you don’t have to feel guilty for loving. Like a prettier Mickey Avalon run through Girl Talk’s posteverything sonic blender, he’s already paid homage to Timberlake with his heavily YouTubed parody “Paxilback,” but this ain’t just fun and games. Kid can get all earnest with that falsetto, as evidenced on the Interpol-gone-pop strum of “Lonely Love,” found on his surprisingly solid debut 5, 6, 7, 8. Check his hip-hop heart on the free mixtape The Pilgrimage, which finds him graying up the Clipse and Jay-Z. Stardom’s inevitable. – LA Weekly

“These California art-rockers have written the best arty-stomp since ‘Take Me Out.’” THE FLY (UK)

The Monolators || Listen
Because the Monolators are a guitar-&-drums duo, they get the usual White Stripes comparisons, but their sound is actually weirder and more expansive on their latest CD, Our Tears Have Wings. Singer-guitarist Eli Chartkoff has a uniquely mournful yelp that’s somewhere between the late Nikki Sudden and the Subsonics’ Clay Reed on the lo-fi gem “Strawberry Roan”. Drummer-wife Mary Chartkoff cooks up a neatly sinister groove on “We Fell Dead,” and keeps it all down home on the glowing roots-rocker “14 Degrees.” On the album’s title track, Eli portrays himself as a lion tamer’s son with playfully clever lyrics and starkly effective chords that evoke the unpretentious simplicity of his hero Buddy Holly. The L.A. duo even engage in a little Jonathan Richman–style whimsy on the folkie ramble “I Was a Captain in the Army,” with Eli’s timelessly iconic tremolo guitar waves washing away any hint of mere cutesiness. - LA Weekly

If you’re upset that Devo doesn’t play a local club gig every other week, cry no more, for there is Nu-Tra.

Kinski || Listen
Down Below It’s Chaos doesn’t waste any time, saying emphatically from the very first attack in “Crybaby Blowout” that this record is going to pummel your skull in. However, it’s more than just an unending stream of distorted guitars and hard rock riffs, it’s more than just a consolidation of Kinski’s sound. The biggest change is the addition of J Mascis or Thurston Moore style vocals by guitarist Chris Martin on three of the tracks, “Passwords and Alcohol,” “Dayroom at Narita Int’l” and “Punching Goodbye Out Front.” Vocals are typically a problem for instrumental bands, forcing them to make their song structures more concrete, less complex, or generally less effective (case in point, Hella’s There’s No 666 in Outer Space or the last two Parts & Labor albums). But Kinski avoids this problem by limiting the number of songs with words and by using them to play around with form. - Dusted

“Los Angeles continues to breed killer new bands like some sort of musical rabbit farm. This three-piece litter of sweet sonic babies is known as the Happy Hollows, appropriate as it’s hard not to smile like an idiot when they commander a club stage. A spin through their “Bunnies and Bombs” EP reveals the power-puffy trio bashing out hyperactive power-pop with a serrated buzz-saw edge of noisy guitars and Pixie-fied beats. Songs like “Meteor” and “My Wet Tongue” bops with an abandon familiar with 1990s “college rock” before it gets swallowed up by all things “indie.” But the main attraction is super-fine lead singer/guitarist Sarah Negahdari, a woman after my own heart with her trademark striped tube socks and wild rock babe ways. We double dog dare you not to develop a mad crush on her after just one show. It’s nigh impossible. Resistance is futile.” - Metromix LA

Dirty Projectors || Listen

“Get ready for the latest brain-bending concept record from Dirty Projectors: a re-interpretation– not cover versions, mind you– of much of Black Flag’s Damaged…played completely from memory. Ha ha, guys. Tell us more about Don Henley. If you can get past the gulf between this and the original (differences include the addition of: violins, African-style staccato plucking, throbbing funk bass, harmonized female vocals, low and overwhelming Gregorian-like chants, Hendrix style backwards guitar, reverse bass drum hits, and some placid guitar arpeggios), this is the kind of challenging but seductive pop that the more modern moments of The Getty Address only hinted at. What’s more, taking the lyrics out of context reveals an almost mature perspective on the numbing day-to-day, check-to-check grind of adult life. Black Flag’s take was angry and throttled, perfect in all it’s one-note glory; this call-and-response between singer Dave Longstreth and his chorus of sirens is a moment of self-discovery turned inside out, making nihilism into self-acceptance and excitement for the future. It’s the perfect soundtrack for shoveling a handful of mushrooms in your craw just before handing in your two-week notice.” - Pitchfork
