Kindred the Family Soul
Love Has No Recession
(Shanachie Entertainment)
Sounds Like: Deeply soulful R&B LP from husband/wife Philly duo who got some great guests for their fourth.
Free Association: A masterful blend of modern and throwback vibes (plus Snoop!).
For Fans Of: The Womacks & Winans, Teddy Pendergrass, hometown soul.
Gardens & Villa
Gardens & Villa
(Secretly Canadian)
Sounds Like: Trippy chilled-out synthpop from Santa Barbara, Calif., that’s not especially inventive but brilliantly executed with falsetto charm and throwback-flavored grooves.
Free Association: The guilty trend is soaring vocals, no sax solos or beaches here.
For Fans Of: Yeasayer/MGMT, Small Black x pagan Passion Pit, pills/psychedelics.
Richard Buckner
Our Blood
(Merge)
Sounds Like: The alt-country legend’s tenth LP, his first in five years, is a beautifully sad and dark new batch of sparsely arranged, simply delivered tales of Americana.
Free Association: This is no pick-me-up, solely for dark (drunk/sad) and quiet times.
For Fans Of: Townes Van Zandt x Josh Ritter, Woody Guthrie, mature melancholy.
Appetite
