S.G. Goodman - Planting By The Signs

Composed of songs inspired by love, loss, reconciliation, and the ancient practice of how planting a garden, weaning a baby, or getting a haircut are best timed in accordance with the cycle of the moon. A concept diametrically opposed to the tech-obsessed, profit margin-driven mania swirling around us. Goodman provides a timely reminder that the only way forward is together, and that we must always take into account humanity's dependence on and responsibility to the natural world. Bonus zine w/ purchase.

Haim - I Quit

The 15-track album was written primarily by HAIM and Rostam Batmanglij. The album radiates the raw energy of seasoned performers whose deep reverence for classic rock shapes songs that are built for live performance. The album features follows previously released tracks "Relationships" and "Everybody's trying to figure me out," which were both met with critical praise. Pitchfork noted "what's that sound? Is it the first song of the summer?" while Vulture raved, "Haim is back… they're not taking anything too seriously except for the quality of what they put out into the world."

U.S. Girls - Scratch It

Scratch It weaves together country, gospel, garage rock, soul, disco, folk balladry, and more, with Remy's masterful songwriting threaded throughout. Her choice to discard the computer-based production of previous albums in favor of two-inch tape serves the songs well, introducing an element of sonic shapeshifting expected from an artist nearly twenty years into making records. If instinct was an instrument, Meg Remy would be a virtuoso. Scratch It and see.

James McMurtry - The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy

A collection of rough-hewn story-songs and richly drawn characters sketches that have elements of Americana— rolling guitars, bar-room harmonies, traces of banjo and harmonica— but sound too sly and smart for such a generalized category. Funny and sad often in the same breath, it adds a new chapter to a long career that has enjoyed a recent resurgence as younger songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence. "You follow the words where they lead. If you can get a character, maybe you can get a story. If you can set it to a verse-chorus structure, maybe you can get a song."

Hotline TNT - Raspberry Moon

Following the release of their triumphant breakthrough album 'Cartwheel', NYC's Hotline TNT are back with their best album yet, 'Raspberry Moon'. The record marks what many are calling 'the next phase in New American Shoegaze'. Whilst 'Cartwheel' was largely conceived by frontman Will Anderson (previously of cult indie group Weed), 'Raspberry Moon' is very much a full-band effort, which is evident in the album's all-consuming, rip-roaring sound. For fans of Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine.
