A seemingly weak Bonnaroo lineup had me checking out some of the unknowns and trying wicked hard to get into My Morning Jacket.
Good news is pretty much all of my favorite albums of the month fell out of that trawl, some real good shit to be had after all maybe.
Album of the Month
Benjamin Booker - Benjamin Booker - damned hooky stuff with just a bit of grit and soul. Rock solid, enjoyable rock records always find their way into my favorite list, at least for a little while.
Also Recommended!
Tycho - Awake - best instrumental, looping, loping electronic/analog jam since Ratatat's self titled.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Twelve Bar Bruise - this garage rock revival is just the gift that keeps on giving. These guys are heavy and hard and nasty and weird.
The Districts - The Districts - raucous little shouter this one, lots of subtle inventiveness tucked in among the big dumb riffage.
Strand of Oaks - HEAL - desperate, skylorn, gigantic country-flecked rock that wallows and climaxes and will knock your socks off once or twice.
