Performance (CD)

TR/ST

This is TR/ST at the act's darkest, danciest, very best. The songs on Performance are emotionally nuanced and cinematic, with lyrics about a relationship that's DOA, lingering lust, and a longing for doomed, illusory love. The atmosphere is brooding and beautiful, with moments of transcendence occasionally breaking through the storm clouds. Set against the noir landscape of nighttime Los Angeles, Performance feels bigger than life yet deeply relatable. Exquisite, devastating, and enchanting.

Moon Mirror [Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl] (LP)

Nada Surf

New York's "Popular" alt-rockers Nada Surf are back with their 10th studio album, Moon Mirror . Their first release on New West Records, the Surfers retain their original lineup of Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca and Ira Elliot, just as it's been since 1992. Songs such as "In Front Of Me Now" are addictively catchy, with big production and bigger harmonies, and flourishes of Cars-like keyboards. Like that tree you planted 30 years ago, this is Nada Surf in full bloom, bigger and more beautiful than you remembered it since the last time you saw it.

VIVA HINDS [Pink In Clear Vinyl] (LP)

Hinds

The new album from Spanish garage rockers Hinds is irresistible. On Viva Hinds , the band delivers a high-octane version of indie pop: there are songs made for sweaty house parties and songs made for singing along with your best friend. Lyrics alternate between Spanish and English, the dual vocals between singers and guitarists Carlotta Cosials and Ana García Perrote infuse the tracks with energy, joy, and beauty. Beck and Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C. make guest appearances. Viva Hinds is an exuberant, neon-streaked thrill.

Slang Spirituals (CD)

Lady Blackbird

Timeless and just plain excellent, Lady Blackbird's Slang Spirituals feels like a classic. Written while on the road touring behind Lady Blackbird's Black Acid Soul , these songs are so brilliant and bold they seem to touch on the sacred. This is an album to luxuriate in, with simmering intros, twinkling melodies, and soaring finales. Lady Blackbird's voice calls to mind legends like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, her music inspired by the sounds of the golden age of R&B, jazz, and rock 'n' roll. Lady Blackbird is a star, to be sure.

Emita Ox (CD)

Hello Mary

NYC trio Hello Mary return with an alt-rock opus that takes every chance and MORE. Soothing vocal harmonies intertwined with complex rhythms, wrapped in a heavy, fuzzed-out bass would just start to describe what's happening on Emita Ox . Just when you think you've locked in to the vibe of a song, they spin it on its heel and completely change direction and tone, just to bring you back and make you wonder what just happened. All of that is brought together by an up-close, in-your-face production that makes you feel like you're right in the room with them.

Glossolalia (CD)

Dale Crover

Dale Crover, the longtime drum basher for metal icons The Melvins, is raising his artistic sails and flexing his creativity on his latest solo album, Glossolalia . Normally the hardest-hitting drummer in rock since Bonham, Crover downshifts and has crafted a mellower, free-spirited indie rock album. Joining him on this effort are guests such as Ty Segall, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, and the legendary Tom Waits on the title track.

My Method Actor [Green Vinyl] (LP)

Nilüfer Yanya

The third studio album by British singer/songwriter Nilüfer Yanya is characteristically eclectic and interesting. "Like I Say (I Runaway)" has a shuffling, toe-tapping groove and grungy guitar that calls to mind the Smashing Pumpkins, albeit a more cosmopolitan version. "Method Actor" offers a similarly intriguing arrangement with a stronger hook in the chorus. "Call It Love" is gently swooning without being sleepy, Yanya's hushed, deep vocals casting a strong spell. The overall blend of global grooves, indie rock subtlety, and heavy, distorted guitar is fascinating and unique.

Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin [Pearl Vinyl] (LP)

Suki Waterhouse

Suki Waterhouse's Memoir of a Sparklemuffin is a dream of an album. The multi-talented Waterhouse (as referenced in the song title "Model, Actress, Whatever") proves once again that she is a musical force to be reckoned with on this pastel-hued garage rock collection informed by elements of post-punk, '60s rock 'n' roll, and moody indie pop. Recorded in the last two months of her pregnancy, Waterhouse named the album after a particularly colorful spider (with a particularly ridiculous moniker) that she saw as a gritty, fabulous, and amusing metaphor for metamorphosis. It'll all make sense once you take a listen — these songs are sparkling and vivacious, with a relatable, droll world view.

Willie Watson (CD)

Willie Watson

Former Old Crow Medicine Show singer/guitarist Willie Watson forges a new path with his debut self-titled solo album. Among those backing him up is renowned Tom Petty keyboardist Benmont Tench, and Gabe Witcher and Paul Klowert of the Punch Brothers. It's Watson's uniquely Dylanesque vocals that shine through, no more so than on "Real Love," a perfect, heartfelt country love song written for Watson's wife Mindy.

Shinbangumi [Color Vinyl] (LP)

Ginger Root

This funky, joyful, eclectic album will transform even the sourest mood. On his debut for Ghostly, Shinbangumi , SoCal's own Ginger Root develops a vivid and electrifying musical palette, using elements of disco, Japanese City Pop, funk, synthpop, and alt-R&B. With songs this upbeat, kaleidoscopic, lush, and entrancing, you'll want to get lost in Ginger Root's sonic dreamworld. Get ready to be swept off your feet because Shinbangumi is one of the year's best albums.

Soft Tissue [Petrol Eco Vinyl] (LP)

Tindersticks

The soulful British band Tindersticks follows up its soundtrack for Stars at Noon with a new album, Soft Tissue . Gentle and melancholy, the album offers introspective lyrics and plenty of atmosphere. "New World" kicks off with a blast of horns before sinking into a hypnotic downtempo groove. "Always a Stranger" is a real highlight, contrasting a captivating rhythm with singer Stuart Staples' floating vocals, augmented by horns and strings.

Rack [Silver Streak Vinyl] (LP)

The Jesus Lizard

Noise rock stalwarts The Jesus Lizard make a triumphant return with Rack , their first studio album in 26 years. Vocalist David Yow leads the charge, his frenzied energy being supported by hard-driving rhythms and guitar riff upon riff. This is very much the Jesus Lizard of today, with only one track, "Lord Godiva," having been written back in the '90s. It's time to celebrate the rapture, for Jesus (Lizard) has risen!
