Month in Review: July '15

Life continues to make demands, a scant sampling of new stuff, cult classics, and Scott Ganem recommendations managed to yield a solid crop of shit worth hearing.

Album of the Month
 
Thee Oh Sees - Mutilator Defeated at Last - relentlessly thrilling, the realization of all the potential these guys have always shone. A busy, galloping, hooky masterpiece

Also Recommended!

Wilco - Star Wars - these guys are still around, putting out another twisty, solid, subtly brilliant album

Nina Simone - Pastel Blues - maybe it's my relative unfamiliarity with Simone, but this blew my socks off. She's truly a force, and this has got all the nuance and character you could dream of

Langhorne Slim - The Way We Move - an earthy, inviting record that takes the long way around to a dozen of my favorite 00's indie rock sounds
