The Fiery Furnaces have streamlined their experimental proclivities into a more refined essence on Widow City, bringing them back to the “simpler” sonic territory of 2003’s terrific Blueberry Boat, while sounding completely different. Still, it’s a Furnaces record through and through.
Songs:
1. Duplexes Of The Dead [2:39]
2. Automatic Husband [2:08]
3. Navy Nurse [6:28]

The members of Clipd Beaks grew up playing in prog-rock, art-core, and jam-type bands in their native Minneapolis. The disc is a collection of churning, artsy postpunk, experimental in sound and general aesthetic. Indeed, as the haunting final notes of “Let It Win” fade at the end, it’s obvious that Clipd Beaks are up for wherever their spirited sound takes them.
Songs:
1. Manipulator [4:47]
2. Melter [3:39]
3. Wrathscapes [4:35]

The Harpeth Trace vintage pop has both a melancholy and dreamy feel that can change from optimism to despair all within the same song and, ultimately, transcend time. On Disappearing is an impressive recording that lures listeners in from the start and keeps them coming back for more; as soon as the record ends, its hard not to want to take The Harpeth Trace journey again and again.
Songs:
1. Who Knows Where You Are [4:23]
2. Georgia May [2:49]
3. Two Plainclothes Cops [4:47]

First Light , Turner Cody’s second solo offering, bounces along like an exuberant retriever with layered guitars, Wurlitzer and shuffling percussion, while Benny Goodman-style clarinet, viola, glockenspiel and soft backing vocals slip in and out like friendly neighbours. Each track tells a goofy, tender, rueful tale, skipping from contemporary New York to the Midwest of a century ago.

The Cave Singers’ impressive debut Invitation Songs clearly aims to meander in an entirely different direction than the guitar-heavy impetuses of Fudesco’s previous pair of sonic endeavors. Invitation Songs is one of the most genuine pieces of new music to come out of the hipster-infested woods in all of 2007.

Department Of Eagles‘ first effort, The Cold Nose (a.k.a. The Whitey On The Moon UK LP), was an unassuming collection of down-tempo instrumentals, squiggly electronic pop, and even the odd hip-hop goof—it was fun in a “friends fucking around” way, but too unfocused to be memorable. If In Ear Park sounds like the work of a different band,

Built to Spill prove that you can get older and better and wiser.Timeless, iconoclastic, always stretching and exploring, even at the risk of failure. Martsch is someone who with their words and guitar makes you feel like you are being given the kind of jangly indie rock hug that you never want to end. Highly recommended!
