Memory Tapes Seek Magic
If you're heading out in the car and looking for something to accompany those autumnal landscapes then you could do a hell of a lot worse than Memory Tapes. It also works pretty well sat in front of your computer.

Lightning Bolt Earthly Delights
Lightning Bolt's new album sees the band incorporating elements of sludge-metal and Indian ragas into their spazzy sound. They make the new elements work, but has their music lost its appeal in the process?

Built To Spill There Is No Enemy
Built To Spill's new album There Is No Enemy sounds like a hodge podge of the best work of their long career. It's a satisfying entry into their catalogue, and sees them plumbing the sonic depths of their earlier albums. Yet, there's nothing new here, and nothing new from someone great is still nothing to be really excited about.
