The Dirty Nil, The Lash
Harrowing and fun in equal measure, the Ontario groups’ fifth record is a deliberate return to their raw punk ’n’ roll roots with a newfound sense of vulnerability lying beneath all the noise.
Nick Drake, The Making of Five Leaves Left
Meant to tell a deeper story behind the songwriter’s 1969 debut, each demo, outtake, and alternate version on this 4-LP set radiates the piecemeal feel of a novice grasping his way through a new endeavor.
Stars of the Lid, Music for Nitrous Oxide [30 Year Anniversary]
Released for the first time on vinyl, the Austin drone duo’s dark, raw debut elicits awe, wonder, and terror all at once as it confronts listeners with the darker aspects of existence.

Spider Bags, “Frozen Letter”
Their world is one of blazing ’60s frat-rock with twisted, fuzz-laced psychedelic outros.

The Clean, “Anthology”
This reckless, wayward pop song, with its bright organ flourish (from Martin Phillipps of The Chills), and its dashed-off immediacy still sounds shockingly out-of-time.
