Midlake, A Bridge to Far

The Denton folk-rockers’ second album since returning from a hiatus flits effortlessly between psychedelic rock, folk, and hazy jazz as Eric Pulido continues to steer the ship forward.

Khruangbin, The Universe Smiles Upon You ii

Recorded on the 10th anniversary of their debut, the trio forgoes reliving past glories in favor of quietly ruminating on what’s gone on between these two points, detonating everything in sight.

Saintseneca, Highwallow & Supermoon Songs

The cosmic Ohio band’s sprawling fifth album represents the best of the late-’00s indie-folk scene, with Zac Little proving that he very much earns his suspenders.
