Versus – Ex Voto (Ernest Jenning Record Co.) Vincent, the album brings a stronger pop sensibility, fuzzy synths and dark electronic beats to the band’s visceral rock sound on a musically diverse set of songs soaked in anxiety and dread. Possible Humans – Everybody Split (Trouble In Mind) This veteran New York-bred band’s first album in nine years (and sixth overall) is an excellent set of ‘90s-steeped rock with intricate guitar and vocal interplay, driving rhythms, atmospheric keyboards and sci fi-themed lyrics revolving around escape and transcendence. This Melbourne band’s official debut full-length is a well-crafted set of tense post-punk with jangly, occasionally squalling guitars, driving rhythms and hypnotic song hooks. The Hold Steady – Thrashing Thru The Passion (Frenchkiss) This Brooklyn-via-London artist’s second album is a well-crafted set of buoyant R&B/funk-tinged electro-pop with bright synths, propulsive beats, sunny melodies and personal lyrics celebrating love and desire. This Brooklyn-via-Minneapolis band’s seventh album is their first with keyboardist Franz Nicolay since 2008’s Stay Positive. The third album together from the California-bred, Nevada-based duo of Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins is a gritty blend of West Coast hip hop, funk and soul, combining hard-hitting funk and hip hop grooves with lyrics that range from the militantly political to the deeply personal.īlanck Mass – Animated Violence Mild (Sacred Bones) G&D – Black Love & War (SomeOthaShip Connect/eOne) They sound revitalized with a warm and loose take on their classic rock-steeped sound, while Craig Finn’s colorfully detailed stories of struggling lives are as sharply drawn and empathetic as ever. The fourth Blanck Mass album from Fuck Buttons’ Benjamin Power is a dark set of apocalyptic grooves for these dystopian times, combining noise-drenched synths, pounding, industrial-tinged grooves and ominous melodies.
