H.C. McEntire "Eno Axis (Merge Records)"
From Merge Records:
“Early rise, start the fire, till the rows, pass the tithes.” So starts H.C. McEntire’s sophomore release, EnoAxis. It’s a set of directions delivered with assurance and authority, reaching the listener without pretension almost as a sermon or spell. McEntire has always had one foot planted in the traditional country gospel roots of her upbringing while boldly wrestling with its complications, creating an Americana sound of her own. But that has never rung as true as it does now on the transcendent psalms of Eno Axis.
Cut Copy "Freeze, Melt"
A mix of genres that gradually progress throughout the album to create a unique experience for the listener.
Trummors "Dropout City (Ernest Jenning Record Co.)"
From Ernest Jenning Record Co.:
Trummors fourth album, Dropout City, is located along that ancient road full of domesticity and dust, adobe and acid, turquoise and trouble, that runs between John Phillips’ Los Angeles and New Mexico’s mountain air. More of a town, really, than a city, Dropout City is “Population 2”: Just David and Anne, who formed the band ten years ago, back in Brooklyn, before trading the skyscrapers for the Big Sky. But, you’re welcome to visit.
