The Weeks | Two Moons
The Weeks tap into a torrential stream of rock consciousness with their fifth LP, Two Moons. Written and recorded almost simultaneously, the band calls it “a rock record that eats rock records for breakfast,” with entree offerings of melodic Memphis metal, scuzzy Southern soul, and more.
Andrew Combs | Ideal Man
Americana standout Andrew Combs adds to his creative toolkit with Ideal Man. Eleven atmospheric tracks are as hard to pin down as the Northern Lights–and as easy to appreciate–featuring a spacey, semi-psychedelic feel full of abstractions, often inspired by a newfound interest in painting.
Jon Pardi | Heartache Medication
After the one-man honkytonk revival that was 2015’s California Sunrise, country breakout Jon Pardi serves up another round. Covering the miles between Bakersfield, Lubbock, and Nashville itself, 14 twang-heavy modern throwbacks feature plenty of cowboy strut and against-the-grain guts.
