273. ILLUMINATOR by GIFT

273. ILLUMINATOR by GIFT

Shoegazers of the world unite (H/T to The Smiths) as 2024 has brought us a great new record from Brooklyn-based band GIFT. It seems we just can't get enough of the synthy-reverby-fuzzy sound and I'm here for it all. With influences ranging from Madonna'

268. BIG SWIMMER by King Hannah

268. BIG SWIMMER by King Hannah

This recently released 2024 record by Liverpool duo King Hannah has been my latest obsession. What do you get when you mash up Portishead, Mazzy Star (previously covered here and here), 90's grunge guitar and even some Doors (previously covered here)? Since you're reading this you

249. SOMETIMES I SIT AND THINK, AND SOMETIMES I JUST SIT by Courtney Barnett

249. SOMETIMES I SIT AND THINK, AND SOMETIMES I JUST SIT by Courtney Barnett

Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer and guitarist known for her witty, deadpan lyrics, playing left-handed and singing with her native accent. When I first heard of her and heard her, I was immediately captured by her quirky (yet tuneful) guitar playing and, again, her smart lyrics and how she

248. THE WINDOW by Ratboys

248. THE WINDOW by Ratboys

Following in a long line (okay, probably not so long) of questionable band names (see also Mediocre), this 2023 record by the Chicago-based indie rockers is worth your time, and multiple listens. Mixing up the aforementioned indie rock with touches of folk, country, grunge and even good old classic rock

239. THE BLUE MOODS OF SPAIN by Spain

239. THE BLUE MOODS OF SPAIN by Spain

This 1995 record is by a band called Spain that hails from, well, not Spain but Los Angeles, California. Band leader Josh Haden's name may ring a bell, as he is the son of jazz great Charlie Haden and the brother of the three sisters who make up

229. FROM NOTHING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE by The Lathums

229. FROM NOTHING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE by The Lathums

This 2023 sophomore release from Manchester, UK band The Lathums epitomizes what one would consider indie rock with some jingle jangle guitars thrown in for good measure. I haven't yet had a chance to listen to their debut record, though after listening to this one on and off

228. CUTS AND BRUISES by Inhaler

228. CUTS AND BRUISES by Inhaler

This foursome out of Dublin are just out with this 2023 record, their sophomore effort. Their trajectory has been exponential even with just two albums under their belts. Maybe this has to do with heartthrob lead singer / rhythm guitarist Elijah Hewson's lineage (his dad is Paul Hewson, aka

224. GULP! by Sports Team

224. GULP! by Sports Team

This 2022 sophomore effort from the UK's indie rock darlings Sports Team does more for me than their debut. I think there's more maturity and control in their writing and playing and, overall, less chaos than the first record. Additionally, the one thing that's

206. AM by Arctic Monkeys

206. AM by Arctic Monkeys

With all the buzz the last few days of a new Arctic Monkeys record due out in a couple of months, I thought it would be a good idea to cover their best selling album which probably also happens to be their most accessible to the casual fan. Hardcore followers
