For Fans Of: Don Cherry/Sun Ra x Tricky + Sheila E., challenging/rewarding listens.
Justin Bieber
Believe
(Island)
Sounds Like: The most new material to be released at once in the baby Canuck’s already illustrious career is a decent postpubescent effort with club-friendly teen pop.
Free Association: The fight to hate on the li’l pimp grows more challenging with time.
For Fans Of: Usher/Luda/Drake/Nicki, Justin Timbs + Jonas Bros., teenage swag.
Peaking Lights
Lucifer
(Mexican Summer)
Sounds Like: Hypnotizing, psychedelic dubby noise pop from the married duo of Indra Dunis and Aaron Coyes, whose new son inspired these amniotic space grooves.
Free Association: This child is going to grow up with so much trip-hop in his face.
For Fans Of: Lee “Scratch” Perry x Massive Attack, Boards of Canada + Grace Jones.
Arc In Round
Arc In Round
(La Société Expéditionnaire)
Sounds Like: Local noisy rockers’ debut is a beautiful, long trip of fuzzed-out melody-friendly psychedelia and prog-flavored feedback jams to make Philly proud.
