Finyl Vinyl (CD)

Canned Heat

It's about to get steamy. The legendary Canned Heat deliver a sweaty, sultry blues rocker of an album with Finyl Vinyl . The band sounds tight as hell on these tracks, with the inimitable drummer/band leader Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra at the helm, Dale Spalding on harmonica/guitar/lead vocals, Rick Reed on bass (Paul Butterfield, John Mayall, Chicago Blues Reunion), and newest member Jimmy Vivino on lead guitar/vocals ( Late Night with Conan O'Brien , Al Kooper, Charlie Musselwhite, Michael McDonald). When these guys get together, it's musical magic. Finyl Vinyl is a must-hear.

Exotic Birds Of Prey (CD)

Shabazz Palaces

Exotic Birds of Prey is the new seven song mini-album from the inimitable Shabazz Palaces. These tracks are gloriously weird, pushing hip-hop forward into cosmic, funky, and unsettling territory. The ultra-experimental "Angela" features haunting synthscapes and woozy basslines. "Myths of the Occult" is a short-but-sweet track with a trippy, slightly eerie melody and dreamlike, goth rap vocals. "Take Me to Your Leader" sounds like a forgotten classic from the era that brought us weirdo synth-funk legends like Charlie and Egyptian Lover. Exotic Birds of Prey is innovative, enjoyable, and unlike anything else you'll hear this year.

Half Divorced (CD)

Pissed Jeans

Pennsylvania hardcore heroes Pissed Jeans mark their return with their fifth album on Sub Pop, Half Divorced . It's been seven years since 2017's Why Love Now , and the break has done the band good. Woven throughout the album is their raw punkiness mixed with a heavy, sludgy, Melvins-ness that bludgeons you over the head rather than screams it in your face. "Everywhere Is Bad" has the tongue-in-cheek humor and call-and-response stylings of Black Flag's "TV Party" while lamenting that there's nowhere good left to live on this earth. This one doesn't miss – get Pissed!

Only God Was Above Us (CD)

Vampire Weekend

Only God Was Above Us is the poignant, urgent new album from Vampire Weekend. With a name taken from a 1988 news article about a terrifying in-air airplane incident, it's perhaps no surprise that the songs seem to share that same sense of faith in the midst of catastrophe. "Capricorn" careens between grinding electronic noise, sweeping strings, and intimate indie guitar. "Gen-X Cops" starts off with the intensity of a high-speed car chase before shimmering, slightly melancholic harmonies kick in. Only God Was Above Us is some of Vampire Weekend's best work; fans will dig this expansion in the band's sound.

Weird Faith (CD)

Madi Diaz

Themes of life, love, faith are explored on Weird Faith , the latest album from Madi Diaz. Coming off of a stint as a touring guitarist with Harry Styles, Diaz's unique style of introspective indie folk with a pop sheen uses minimal bells and whistles, her voice being the star of the show. The album also features "Don't Do Me Good," a duet with country star Kacey Musgraves.

American Primitive [Green Vinyl] (LP)

Old 97's

The Old 97's want you to believe in the power of rock 'n' roll once more. Their latest, American Primitive , is a gloriously rough and rowdy, upbeat and invigorating collection of country-tinged rockers. "I believe you when you say that there's magic in the air," Rhett Miller sings on "Magic," which might as well be the manifesto for the album. The life-changing, mood-altering magic of music is present in every strand of these songs. Listening to American Primitive is no passive experience: your toe-tappin' feet won't let you rest, whether you're compelled to simply bop around the room or to get outside and start a band.

Ohio Players (CD)

The Black Keys

The Black Keys continue their sonic evolution with Ohio Players . It's one of the band's lushest, liveliest albums, with soul and gospel-tinged blues rockers in abundance. "Beautiful People (Stay High)" is an ultra-hooky, bigger-than-life anthem with Britpop and bar blues influences. "I Forgot to Be Your Lover" is a Motown-meets-the-blues ballad rich in swelling strings and romantic regret. Guest appearances from Beck, Juicy J, Lil Noid, Dan the Automator, and Noel Gallagher add to the fun.

A LA SALA (CD)

Khruangbin

Khruangbin gets dreamy and intimate on A LA SALA . The band's effortless international cool takes a more downtempo turn on these tracks; they feel made for a lazy afternoon with friends or a quiet morning gazing at the clouds. "May Ninth" is grooved out, hazy, and rather wistful. "Pon Pón" kicks things up a bit, with funky riffs and irresistibly danceable percussion. "A Love International" is cinematic, languid, and yes, romantic. Khruangbin are one of the most inventive and imaginative bands out there and A LA SALA is a great showcase for their softer side.

Does It Look Like I'm Here? (LP)

Emeralds

Electronic trio Emeralds reintroduces their 2010 electronic masterpiece Does It Look Like I'm Here? to the masses. This can't-miss release has been deftly remastered by engineer Heba Kadry, and the CD includes seven unreleased tracks. Fans of Eno, Tangerine Dream, and psychedelics will revel in this sonic voyage through a lush electro-soundscape.

Notebook Fantasy (CD)

Chicano Batman

Chicano Batman takes you on a voyage with Notebook Fantasy . Produced by in-demand producer John Congleton (Erykah Badu, Budos Band, St. Vincent), the album feels like a throwback to a more psychedelic, sexy, jet-setting time. "Era Primavera" is a lush, shimmering number with soaring strings, dreamy harmonies, and romantic melodies. The appropriately named "Fly" just feels superfly, with elements of classic '70s funk, sexy sleaze, and an addictive chorus. Notebook Fantasy is absolutely sensational.

Interplay (CD)

Ride

Rarely do legendary acts have a second act as creative, interesting, and essential as Ride. Interplay is some of the band's best work. Opener "Peace Sign" is shoegaze with pop sensibilities and an early '90s indie quirk. "Last Frontier" is romantic, wistful, and moody. "Monaco" kicks off with danceable electronic beats before melancholy post-punk guitars and stabbing synths add urgency and intensity. With so many top-notch songs, Interplay is one of those records that quickly becomes a favorite.

Extra Life ['Poisonbloom' Color Vinyl] (LP)

Crushed

The musical pairing of Bre Morell & Shaun Durkan, aka Crushed, has concocted the dreamiest of pop vibes on Extra Life . With nods to '90s alternative and trip-hop throughout, Extra Life 's upbeat, catchy layers of melody sail this 6-song EP into blissful waters.
