Japandroids

Celebration Rock

(Polyvinyl)

Sounds Like: Their debut, Post- Nothing , was just as awesome as this one. They’re both loud and incredible fun.

Free Association: It’s a little dumbed-down but even more fist-pumping than before.

For Fans Of: No Age x Sonic Youth, harder Strokes + Cheap Trick, angry anthems.

Curren$y

The Stoned Immaculate

(Warner Brothers)

Sounds Like: The Louisiana-bred stoner, who’s been working the underground through multiple labels and mentorship from Master P and Lil’ Wayne, outshines them both.

Free Association: Lazy ’70s-flavored beats makes raps about THINGS sound awesome.

For Fans Of: Wiz Khalifa + Big K.R.I.T., Kid Cudi x Wale, spliffs and Impalas

Hot Chip

In Our Heads

(Domino)

Sounds Like: The fifth LP from the British geniuses of dance is as sick as ever, this time taking their dancefloor obsessions and electronic confections to freakier places.
