The Peacers – Haptic Chillweed

Drag City always seem to deal with the highest quality freaks. The Peacers new album drops in June and Mike Donovan‘s ghost of a song does the trick. Nick Triani

Palace – Come In

I remember seeing this video on 120 Minutes way back when and getting pretty hooked on Palace and Will Oldham in general. Come In is still one of his most moving songs. Nick Triani

The Dells – I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself

I just picked up this album of the Dells covering Dionne Warwick and it’s just Bacharach and David songs and is a remarkable piece of funky reconstruction. Nick Triani

Beach Fossils – This Year

The forthcoming Beach Fossils album is a part fey, part experimental – yet covered in retro tones (and always melodic) affair. Stand out track is ‘This Year’, which has a lightness of touch and, a great ringing acoustic vibe, and when those string come in it melts my heart. LOVELY. Nick Triani

Fred Thomas – Voiceover

Repeatedly hearing how the revived “extra long album” also reads as a novel (Sun Kil Moon, Father John Misty…) it is a relief to witness someone still mastering the concise form. No frills indie rock, but it works: Fred Thomas always reminds me of The Mountain Goats. Joni Kling
