Spiritualized – Sweet Heart, Sweet Light (Fat Possum)
Fuck it, Art: your licence is revoked. And Pierce: you’re a cunt.
Willis Earl Beal – Acousmatic Sorcery (Hot Charity/XL)
There’s a righteousness at the heart of these songs, a riveting freedom that makes Contemporary Indie — cute, smug, obvious, self-obsessed, eager to please — seem hilariously and stupidly irrelevant.
Household – Items (Dull Knife)
We could talk about the ping pong vocals that recall bands like Oh Ok
Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls (Rough Trade/ATO)
Hey, I’m a modern guy. I can dig that art in the 21st Century is all about collage and recontextualization. But as collage artists, Alabama Shakes are essentially just ripping a page out of a 1967 issue of Life magazine and showing to us. Actually, that’s giving them too much credit. Life magazine wrote about the world, Alabama Shakes just writes about Alabama Shakes.

Stuff I don’t hate
Like I could give a crap about Paris Hilton either way.
