Month in Review: February '15

Was all over the map this month, in life and music both. Went back and scraped the bottom of the "best of the 60's" barrel for a few things I hadn't heard, but it was a hodgepodge.

Album of the Month
Dan Deacon - Gliss Riffer - The Dan Deacon album I've been waiting for for years - totally listenable, full of heart, and infinitely rich in the details.

Also Recommended!
Nobunny - Secret Songs: Reflections from the Ear Mirror - Dude got his vocals working and suddenly those endlessly inventive, classics-riffing songwriting chops shine through. And bright!

Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Gaddamn, these guys really did have a lot of good albums. Check this out if you've only heard their super meaty stuff and have *any* tolerance for proggy nonsense.

The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil - I must have been in a bad mood or been hung up on their debut EP when I gave this a 3 because this's a great bit of gritty, soulful, rockin' indie rock.

The Red Crayola - The Parable of Arable Land - Alright, one gem out of my 6th trawl through the 60's: this fullon freakout's a slab of psychadelia that's damned worth hearing if you're feeling weird.
