Luther's Blues (CD)

Bernard Allison

Bernard Allison puts his own spin on his father Luther Allison's oeuvre via Luther's Blues . This is a scorcher of an album, fusing Chicago blues with hard and heavy, almost psychedelic rock 'n' roll. Luther's Blues is thoroughly enjoyable, a high-octane thrill ride that sounds like the wildest night of your life. Turn this one up loud and crank the AC because things are about to get sweaty.

In Times New Roman... (CD)

Queens Of The Stone Age

The mighty Queens of the Stone Age are back with their first album in five years, the scorching In Times New Roman... "Paper Machete" is as unhinged, intense, and electrifying as its name suggests. The slowed down "Carnavoyeur" is moody, dark, and intoxicating. "Emotion Sickness" is propulsive and effortlessly cool, with an operatic '70s rock 'n' roll chorus. In Times New Roman... proves QOTSA can still deliver unexpected pleasures, sweeping desert rock soundscapes, and some total headbangers.

What Happened To The Beach (CD)

Declan McKenna

Declan McKenna sounds poised for stardom on What Happened to the Beach . The English singer-songwriter creates ultra catchy, quirky indie numbers that somehow manage to combine both jangle pop weirdness with Brit-pop stadium rock grandiosity. McKenna has nodded to Unknown Mortal Orchestra and St. Vincent as inspirations for the Beach recording sessions, which makes sense once you hear these instantly likeable tracks, although McKenna's distinct, gifted artistic voice is all his own. Enter the sunshine-y, left-of-center world of What Happened to the Beach — you'll be glad you did.

Sones De Mariachi (CD)

Mariachi Los Camperos

Mariachi Los Campero's Sones de Mariachi is a vibrant, beautiful collection from the multi Grammy-winning group. Featuring swooning, cinematic arrangements by Jesús "Chuy" Guzmán, these sones run the gamut from popular and beloved to lesser known gems. Guaranteed to be one of the finest mariachi albums you hear this year. (And yes, we know it's only January.) Virtuosic, transportive, and just plain gorgeous.

Blue Raspberry (CD)

Katy Kirby

The soft, sweet indie of Katy Kirby's Blue Raspberry feels as lovely and easy-going as a summer's day. But these tales of love, growth, and questioning are no syrupy fun fair concoction: there's a lot of depth to these low-key charmers. The melodies are playful, the lyrics thoughtful. ("Party of the Century" ponders the ethics of having children in this world.) It's a celebration of queer love, an evaluation of how romance and challenge work — or don't work — together, and a masterful release from an ultra-talented singer-songwriter.

everything is alive (CD)

Slowdive

Slowdive’s first new album in six years is a triumph: The shoegaze legends have enhanced their signature sound with modular synths, without detracting from their beautiful guitar reverb and hushed, intertwined vocals. The production is gorgeous. Richly atmospheric tracks like “Skin In The Game” are meant for daydreaming along to, while “Alife” is gently stirring with a jangly guitar line and steady beat. “Kisses” is another strong track, awash in the swirly goth pop revived lately by groups like Drab Majesty.

The Roof Is On Fire (CD)

Mitch Ryder

The inimitable Mitch Ryder delivers on a dose of what makes his work so unforgettable on The Roof is on Fire . This essential double live album features covers (Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues") and Ryder classics ("Betty's Too Tight"). The melodies are blistering, gritty, and guaranteed to turn up the heat. Ryder is a legend and The Roof Is on Fire is a fitting celebration of his storied career.

INNERSTANDING (LP)

Dhani Harrison

Dhani Harrison's INNERSTANDING is a compelling, thoughtful, atmospheric work. The vibe is brooding and melancholic, with washes of light piercing the darkness. The voices of Graham Coxon, Mereki and Liela Moss float in and out of the mix, adding insistent, otherworldly elements to the proceedings. This is trip-hop updated for more tumultuous times, with ambient, electronic, and alt-rock influences. INNERSTANDING is moody and mysterious, bleak and beautiful.

Quaranta (CD)

Danny Brown

Danny Brown gets real on Quaranta , and it's one of his best. With themes including isolation and addiction, the tracks are deeply personal: the album is basically a document of what Brown wanted to say about his life, should he not have gotten through rehab. The album veers from the upbeat and off-the-wall to the vulnerable, introspective, and sometimes devastating. The production is top-notch, with glittering, sometimes woozy melodies. The lyrics are smart, emotional, and arresting. Quaranta is an evolution for Danny Brown, an interesting, intense chronicle of a period of pain and growth.

Return To Archive (CD)

Matmos

Matmos' Return to Archive is a monumental work of art. The album consists of non-musical sounds originally released on the Folkways label, essentially chopped and screwed from their origins as field recordings of beetle, metal balers, and shortwave radio into crunchy, experimental, electronic music. It's a little weird and a little wild listening as animal noises morph into industrial-influenced, glitched-out tracks. It's also deeply cool, with surprises around each sonic bend.

Rat Saw God (CD)

Wednesday

North Carolina indie rockers Wednesday make their Dead Oceans debut with Rat Saw God . Singer/guitarist’s Karly Hartzman twangy wobble spearheads these raw, shoegaze+grunge – flavored songs, with whipsmart lyrics about life in the South. The brooding verses and buzzy chorus of “Bath County” are effective and satisfying, while “Bull Believer” feels quite epic; it’s practically woozy with dynamics and wild guitars. Then there is “Chosen To Deserve” which leans on the band’s country influence with plaintive steel guitar. It’s easy to see why Wednesday is a band on the rise.

Hold (CD)

Wild Nothing

Virginia singer-songwriter Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing, gets a little help from friends Becca Minari, Molly Burch, and members of Beach Fossils and Hatchie on his fifth album, Hold . Tatum overlays funky, dancey grooves underneath sincere lyrics laying bare his trials and tumultuous times.
