"Angles" by The Strokes

The Strokes have been away from the grind for six years now, if you can believe it, and their new album, Angles, is easily one of the most anticipated of 2011. Since they last put out First Impressions of Earth way back in 2005, members have gotten married, made solo records (hell, guitarist Albert... [More]

"Scandalous" by Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears first came on the national scene with 2009's Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is!, an R&B and blues-infused party record that kept the asses shakin' and the babies makin'. Their new album, Scandalous, picks up right where that one left off, and it's hard to believe, but this... [More]

"Wounded Rhymes" by Lykke Li

Three years ago, newcomer Lykke Li and producer Bjorn Yttling (of Peter, Bjorn & John fame) crafted the debut record Youth Novel, announcing the arrival of a new and promising young talent. Now comes Wounded Rhymes, an album that not only succeeds in furthering the promise of Ms. Li, but also may ju... [More]

"Civilian" by Wye Oak

Baltimore, Maryland, duo Wye Oak, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Jenn Wasner and drummer/keyboardist Andy Stack, don't look like much more than two nice young kids when you see them in person, but get them behind their respective instruments and they create one hell of a wall of sound. Their first... [More]

"The Party Ain’t Over" by Wanda Jackson

At the ripe old age of 73 Wanda Jackson, The Queen of Rockabilly herself, is poised to make a comeback and it doesn't hurt that she's got a White Stripe in her back pocket. Looking to catch lightning in a bottle again as he did with Loretta Lynn on her comeback album Van Lear Rose, Jack White of The... [More]

"Get Lucky" by Mark Knopfler

Can you believe it's been almost 15 years since Mark Knopfler put the kibosh on Dire Straits? Since then, Knopfler has released a steady stream of solo albums every couple of years and none have been better than the critically beloved Sailing to Philadelphia or his album of duets with Emmylou Harris...

"I and Love and You" by The Avett Brothers

After five albums and two EP's worth of work that have been worshiped by a die-hard following over the last seven years, the venerable Alt-Country group The Avett Brothers have finally been called up to the major leagues. Landing a major label deal with Sony, I and Love and You also has the distinct... [More]

"See Mystery Lights" by YACHT

YACHT is the gentlemen half of the Indie-Electronic act The Blow and See Mystery Lights is Jona Bechtolt's first album for the mega-respected Dance label DFA which, in fact, is run by uber-cool guy James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem and third album total for YACHT all together. Got all that? Good, th... [More]

"Gather, Form & Fly" by Megafaun

Hailing from Raleigh-Durham North Carolina, Megafaun are a team of three very talented musicians who used to back one Justin Vernon before he became the breakout hit Bon Iver. Just because these guys used to be Vernon's band doesn't mean they should be undersold or overlooked however. Brothers Bradl... [More]

"Still Your Man" by Paul Burch

Have you ever had one of those singer-songwriters or bands that you have loved to death for years but it seems that no one else has ever heard of them? Paul Burch is that kind of artist for me. Toiling away for over a decade now, the only bit of notoriety that Burch has ever carved out for himself i... [More]

"Born on Flag Day" by Deer Tick

Building on the surprising debut that was 2007's War Elephant, Deer Tick, a.k.a. John McCauley's follow-up Born on Flag Day is a more tightly put together set of Countrified Rock that should bring about a heap of notoriety for the 23 year old youngster. When listening to McCauley's grizzled old-t... [More]

" Back and Forth" by Pete Yorn

2.5 out of 5 stars Pete Yorn is one of those artists to me who just can't seem to live up to or recreate the greatness of his debut album. In 2001, he crafted the superb Musicforthemorningafter, which at the time seemed to announce the arrival of a unique new singer/songwriter talent to w... [More]

"The Knot " by Wye Oak

The first time I ever encountered this up and coming band from Baltimore, I saw them open for Merge label mates Shearwater and they completely blew them out of the shear water. Lead singer/guitarist Jenn Wasner's vocals are staggering, ranging somewhere between a newcomer like Jessica Lea Mayfield... [More]

"Before the Frost" by The Black Crowes

Last years' Warpaint was the first Black Crowes record in over seven years, so the fact that the Robinson brothers have another new album in the can comes as quite a surprise. The even bigger surprise is how it was made and how it's being marketed. Recorded entirely if front of a live audience, The... [More]

"Josephine" by Magnolia Electric Co.

Josephine marks the 16th album that Jason Molina has made under his many guises (Songs: Ohia and his given name being the others) but it has never taken him this long to craft a follow-up. Why did it take three years for the highly prolific singer-songwriter to finally follow-up 2006's Fading Trails... [More]
