1. Maribou State -
Kingdoms in Color
Smooth melodic
grooves, good for chilling out or maintaining focus.
2. Idles - Joy as an
Act of Resistance
Smart, thoughtful and
woke AF modern punk music
3. Parquet Courts -
Wide Awake
New classic from these
perennial favorites. I initially thought
they'd be a flash in the pan, now, 10 years later, they just keep getting
better and better.
4. Wye Oak - The
Louder I call The Faster It Runs

5. Wild Pink - Yolk
in the Fur
As I age I get less
nostalgic and sentimental. This album
precludes that trend and puts me in the mindset of someone less cynical, and I
like that.
6. El Ten Eleven -
Bankers Hill
Nice soundscapes that
weave between math-rock and ambient.
7. Jenn Champion -
Single Rider
A very well-orchestrated
tribute to smoother rock/r&b sounds from the nineties - not an original
concept at this point, but a great example of how it can sound really
good.

I need to spend more time with the Idles album. So far "Danny Nedelko" is my jam, but I want to dig deeper.
I just saw Jenn Champion named checked by one of my favorite hip, local tastemakers. Thanks to you I had a clue to what he was writing about it. You're on it.
