There weren’t a ton of new releases that knocked me off of my feet. Metric’s album Fantasies is decent; Bill Callahan, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Easy Star All-Stars and Grand Duchy (Franck Black) albums were average.

I’m a sucker for Zeppelin and Hendrix throwback rock ‘n’ roll. Austin-based band Radio Moscow does a fine job replicating the sound. Their album Brain Cycles isn’t breaking new ground, but it rocks. The group reminds me a little bit of White Denim without the experimentation.

Jason Quever is the man behind Papercuts. You may recognize Quever’s name as he is a guest member of Vetiver and Beach House. He’s also produced for Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, Cass McCombs and Donkeys.
