"22 Dreams " by Paul Weller

In Paul Weller's 30-year plus career as lead singer for bands such as The Jam, The Style Council and as a solo artist, never before has he made a record as ambitious and overtly self-indulgent as 22 Dreams. Weller's made no bones in recent interviews about 22 Dreams being the kind of album he wa... [More]

"Modern Guilt " by Beck

It's hard to believe, but Modern Guilt makes album number ten for one Mr. Beck Hansen. Why it seems just yesterday and not 14 years ago that he was begging us to kill him for being such a loser. Modern Guilt comes two years after his album The Information and the previous years' Guero, two a... [More]

"Object 47" by Wire

One of the most unpredictable bands in the history of Rock music, Wire have been marching to the beat of their own drums for over 30 years now. Responsible for making one of the most seminal Punk albums of all time with 1977's Pink Flag, Wire have spent just about the rest of their career tr... [More]

"Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" by Coldplay

After taking a critical beating for 2005's X & Y, everybody's favorite band to hate ("You know how I know your gay, because you like Coldplay") returns with an album that will even have haters retracting their pithy remarks. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is Coldplay's most adventurous al... [More]

"At Mount Zoomer" by Wolf Parade

Due to all the side projects that Dan Boeckner (Handsome Furs) and Spencer Krug (two Sunset Rubdown albums and one with Swan Lake) have been involved in lately, it feels like its been eons since Wolf Parade released their heralded debut Apoligies To The Queen Mary. Believe it or not, it's only been... [More]

"The Devil, You + Me" by The Notwist

It's been six long years in waiting for Germany's The Notwist to follow-up their Glitch-Pop near masterpiece Neon Golden due to side projects galore (see Lali Puna, Ms. John Soda and 13 & God just to name a few) but finally the group has returned with The Devil, You + Me and it's every bit as good a...

"The Supreme Genius of King Khan & The Shrines " by King Khan & The Shrines

It's not too often that I review compilations, but I figured I'd make an exception for a rag tag group that few have heard of. Over the last half-decade King Khan and his top notch 12-piece band The Shrines have been cranking out 60's influenced grooves for little to no fanfare, yet they still parad... [More]

"Hercules and Love Affair" by Hercules and Love Affair

Every new Electronic album that the DFA label puts out always seems to be overly hyped and the debut record by Hercules and Love Affair is no different. The hype is well deserved though because DJ Andrew Butler has crafted a great 70's influenced Disco-Pop gem that will surely keep the dance floors... [More]

"Real Animal " by Alejandro Escovedo

Only a few short years ago, Alejandro Escovedo was fighting for his life battling a very serious dose of Hepatitis C. His recovery led to 2006's The Boxing Mirror, which was an introspective and melancholy record that really focused on his brush with death. Just two years later, Escovedo's new album... [More]

"Evil Urges" by My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket have come a long way from being that Roots-Rock band that we're easy to compare to Neil Young & Crazy Horse early on in their career. Their last album, Z, broke so many creative barriers that it lead many a critic and fan to deem them the American answer to Radiohead (which is a co... [More]

"Diamond Hoo Ha" by Supergrass

During the recording of Supergrass' new album last year, bassist Mick Quinn fell out of a window in a bizarre accident that damn near killed him. While Quinn was recovering from his injuries, the other members of Supergrass did secret live shows around the U.K. as The Diamond Hoo Ha Men showcasing t... [More]

"This is Not the World" by The Futureheads

In the last four years, The Futureheads have made some of the most interesting Popp-y Post-Punk around. Their self-titled debut was a ragged and jagged send up to influencers such as XTC and their cover of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love that is housed there is one of the best cover songs to come along i...

"Songs in A & E" by Spiritualized

Songs in A & E (short for accident and emergency) is Spiritualized's first album in five years, though I'm sure one man band Jason Pierce wouldn't have wanted it that way if he could have helped it. You see, Pierce suffered a life threatening case of double pneumonia in 2005 that left him bed ridden... [More]

"Re-Arrange Us" by Mates of State

Since their jump from respected Indie label Polyvinyl to another respected Indie label Barsuk in 2006, it seems like the husband and wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel who respectively make up the entire collective of Mates of State have been working overtime to create a more lush and mature...

"Arm’s Way" by Islands

If Nick Thornburn of Islands could keep the same lineup for more than one album I think it would be a miracle. His first band The Unicorns lasted all of one record and Islands' 2006 debut Return to the Sea featured Unicorn drummer alum Jaime T'ambour but now he's out of the picture leaving Thornburn...
