(Microcosm) If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times…polytheistic creation myths need more KISS makeup and beaver shots! Inky awesome comix goodness!

Elixir on Mute “End of Sky,” “Monster”
(www.elixironmute.com) Cinematic, progressive, borderline poppy darkcore that is more mutated than mute. The main musician/songwriter Jordan Ferreira looks super young and it’s great to hear the youths striving for grand, huge, ambitious rock in this day and age.

13 Ghosts “garden of bottle flies”
(Skybucket) More chillingly ghostly than annoyingly flylike, these are some story songs that both feel like vividly drawn portraits and eerily fuzzy-focused photos. I am scared of these g-g-g-g-g-ghosts!
reigns “the widow blades”
(www.Monotremerecords.com) The musical equivalent of a weird old gravel-voiced witchy lady telling you a scary story that ends with her turning into the monster/killer/old tree/snowstorm/whatever the hell it is she was telling you about. And then killing you.
Arty Hill “Another Lost Highway”
(www.artyhill.com) You really can’t beat functional honky tonk music! If you don’t like western swingin’, top notch twangin’, sweet sinign barn burners than you need to get your America parts checked.
Charlie Parr “Keep Your Hands On The Plow”
(House of Mercy) For at least a decade Charlie Parr has been releasing some genuinely tasty traditional pickin’ music that is always warmly familiar but isn’t always as easy to pigeonhole as far as what kind of folk/bluegrass/country festival you would book him at. This collection of traditional country/bluesy gospel music is both precious and powerful, and as up to Parr as anything he’s previously done!
Papa Juke “out of the blues”
(www.papajuke.com) Jazzy blues that swaggers between slinking and swinging (swinking?) And that will make you ask both, “Who’s your papa?” And “Is he Juke-ish?”
