Felix Oh Holy Molar
Felix's beguiling chamber pop is stripped down even further on their contemplative second album, full of fascinating subtleties.

The Memories The Memories
Ever heard of White Fang? This is them. No, really - just the morning after; extremely hungover; high as fuck and looking to score some more weed and chicks.

The Creepy Crawlies Get Buried!
The Creepy Crawlies are a two-some; a mini-band with an introspective and introverted collective personality. There’s an appealing single, but there’s more to it than that.

Jack White Blunderbuss
With over a decade of music and The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and Dead Weather all being some variation of "Jack White's band," it seems hard to believe that his first solo album is just now arriving. Still, with one of those bands officially no more and the other two on indefinite hiatus, we knew prolific Jack could not keep quiet for too long, so here he is again.

Fun. Some Nights
Nate Reuss, formerly of The Format, stars in the original cast recording of a Broadway musical about teens suffering from amnesia and mistaken identity. Or maybe it's the new Fun. album.
