A Very Lonely Solstice (CD)

Fleet Foxes

A Very Lonely Solstice is the album version of Fleet Foxes’ December 20th, 2021 concert film of the same name. For fans of the band, it’s pure loveliness. Featuring Robin Pecknold (largely) alone with his acoustic guitar performing within the soaring interiors of Brooklyn’s St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, the songs convey a sense of both the solemn and the sacred. The Resistance Revival Chorus opens and closes the performance, the ethereal voices of the women and non-binary singers lending a timeless, ethereal contrast to Pecknold’s plaintive vocals. There’s a cover of The Bee Gees’ “In the Morning” and the traditional ballad “Silver Dagger” that add moments of sunshine-y pop and haunting English folkloric atmosphere. It’s a rare thing when a band’s live album is one of their finest recordings; A Very Lonely Solstice definitely deserves such a high ranking

Denim & Diamonds (CD)

Nikki Lane

One of the finest voices in modern country returns with Denim & Diamonds ! Strutting her rock stuff on tracks like “First High” and the Wanda Jackson-esque foot stomper “Black Widow,” Nikki Lane has brought along a team of heavy hitters with Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) producing, and members of Queens of the Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Autolux lending their musical talents.

Marci (LP)

Marci

Marta Cikojevic of Montreal’s TOPS steps out on her own in self-assured style with a guileless collection of synth pop songs that brim with unabashed sincerity. She and TOPS bandmate David Carriere have crafted an album of songs that are both catchy and danceable, while still being emotionally honest and down-to-earth.

The Other Side Of Make-Believe (CD)

Interpol

Interpol takes their sound into dreamy, romantic new territory on The Other Side Of Make-Believe . The Other Side of Darkness, you might call it, considering the band’s early penchant for driving rhythms, gloomy atmospherics, and pointedly bizarre lyrics. This new sonic direction was a choice on the part of the band; after wrapping a successful tour in March 2020, Interpol purposefully chose not to wallow in the too obvious negativity of the time, but instead to explore how, as vocalist/guitarist Paul Banks put it, “the nobility of the human spirit is to recover and rebound.” Of course, this is all filtered through a post-punk lens, so you can still expect angular guitars, aching vocals, and downbeat melodies—but with an air of hope and love for life that brings a prismatic depth to this compelling album.

Midpoint (CD)

Tom Chaplin

Keane's Tom Chaplin returns with an intimate new solo album, Midpoint . Although Chaplin has said the songs are "sparse" compared to the usual Keane fare, there's a lot of emotional nuance to these lovely, emotionally vulnerable tracks that makes them feel like a rich, layered listening experience. Written after the band's tour was stalled thanks to the pandemic, the songs speak to the beauty and fragility of the human experience. There's something comforting about the sense of connection that emanates from Chaplin's songwriting; Midpoint is the type of album that feels like a companion through good times and bad.

Forever Sometimes (LP)

Dear Boy

L.A. band Dear Boy’s first full-length album features contributions from AFI’s Hunter Burgan, Passion Pit’s Ian Hultquist, Hazel English and more. The sound is melancholy but often catchy, referencing melodic post-punk, Britpop, and jangle-pop. Singer Ben Grey’s soft voice adds a more modern indie pop touch to the mix, and the band blends its new and old influences well; for example, “Wet Clothes” starts off with a prominent post-punk bassline only to dissolve into swirly indie pop with a hushed chorus.

Solidaritine (CD)

Gogol Bordello

Gogol Bordello’s Solidaritine showcases the band at their genre-crossing best. Whether they’re importing ska rhythms on “Focus Coin” or fusing folkloric fiddle with gritty punk rock “Forces of Victory,” the band creates effective odes to human survival and possibility. It’s an album informed by frontman Eugene Hut’s background as a native Ukrainian, and with award-winning Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan and electro-folk band Kazka appearing on the aforementioned new version of “Forces,” the war the European nation found itself in earlier this year is never far from mind. Produced by Walter Schreifels (Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits) and with another awe-inspiring guest appearance from H.R. of Bad Brains, this is one of Gogol Bordello’s most raucous, righteous albums in years.

Harmony House (CD)

Dayglow

Dayglow’s second album, Harmony House , finds Sloan Struble drawing more on ‘70s and ‘80s pop influences. Both “Medicine” and “Close To You” offer familiar retro vibes with a light, melodic touch. “Something” is a standout track for its lively drum beat and strong vocal melody. Struble continues to grow as a songwriter with a natural ear for singalong melodies and stylish arrangements.

Exister (CD)

The Soft Moon

The Soft Moon never shies away from the darkness but on his latest, Exister , Luis Vasquez lets in a bit of the light. The album is still packed with the intense, edge-of-control industrial numbers fans expect, but amongst the lowest of the lows, this time Vasquez also give us a glimpse of some of the highs. It’s the agony and ecstasy of the human experience, portrayed by driving guitars, brutal percussion, and haunted vocals. The sounds spreads out at times, moving into ambient and metal dimensions, even as the compass points back to relentless gothic stomp of The Soft Moon’s signature sound. Exister hits all the right notes while taking Vasquez’s artistry into evolutionary new directions.

Vengeance (BLU)

B.J. Novak

A radio host from New York City attempts to solve the murder of a girl he hooked up with and travels down South to investigate the circumstances of her death.

5SOS5 [Deluxe Edition] (CD)

5 Seconds Of Summer

The Sydney-raised band’s fifth studio album showcases their multi-faceted artistry and growth over their 10-year career. From angsty rockers to break-up anthems with huge sing-along choruses, nostalgic pop punk reign supreme. The Deluxe Edition CD features 5 bonus songs and a 72-page booklet including lyrics, credits, photos, and art.

The Cage EP (CD)

Billy Idol

The legendary Billy Idol comes barreling back onto centerstage with his fired up new 4-song EP, The Cage . There’s plenty of punk energy and ‘80s arena rock bombast over the course of this short-but-sweet collection of songs dedicated to lives spent on the edge. The title track has an infectious, sing-a-long chorus that makes it the ideal anthem for anyone who’s feeling a little worse for the wear, but ready to break through and break free. It’s a fine introduction to an album that feels like a true force of nature, animated by Idol’s impressive ability to craft tracks that gleefully play with the boundaries of the underground and the big-time.
