If you’re a lifelong garage-rock purist or just enjoy the occasional Jay Reatard track, there’s a good chance you’ll get a lot of mileage out of The Oh Sees Help. It’s hard not to: This is like meat and potatoes prepared by a master chef– totally familiar but utterly delicious.

On Magnolia Electric Co’s third album, the group takes things down a notch, not in quality but in distortion and intensity. The result is Fading Trails, a more intimate and thoughtful album that could serve as the soundtrack to the more bittersweet moments of a Western film.

Let’s face it: there are hardly any truly original bands these days. It’s been said before, and it’s true; the best bands are rarely innovators in the sense that they create something previously unheard. But they know how to expand upon their influences’ ideas in a way that is uniquely striking. Menomena is one of these bands.

Bombon mallorquín, the second solo album of Antònia Font’s composer recreates the path that goes from childhood to the adult age. Joan Miquel Oliver has an extraordinary sense for melody and writes beautiful songs that are little stories for themselves. It’s astounding how he combines so different musical styles and the final result is still a homogeneous unit. Nostalgy and joy mixed will invade you while listening to the music. Bombon Mallorquín is moving. You’ll feel like at home…
Final Feliç [2:56]

The cult of Dexys Midnight Runners, and this album in particular, were worshipped as the return of “soul” to English rock music at the dawn of Thatcherism. This is vibrant, alive, and unconcerned with perfection. Rowland takes a role that Morrissey would have in 1985 and Jarvis Cocker in 1995 — the unexpected but perfect voice to capture a time and moment in the U.K.
