Str8 Killa No Filla (No DJ)
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
Perhaps the most fearsome figure to come out of Gary, Indiana, since Joe Jackson, Freddie Gibbs is a former-freight-train-robber-turned-hardcore-rap-revivalist. He's also poised to become hip-hop's next big thing, having generated serious heat with mixtapes like this 15-track powder keg. Gibbs is a technically gifted MC with a baritone voice and ... -
Foundling
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
"Head spinning, mouth open," sings tonsured Englishman David Gray on the tipsy "Only the Wine," the lead track of his handsomely tousled ninth LP. It's a promising start from a guy whose tastefulness too often trumps the spirit of experimentation that distinguishes him from his soft-rock peers. Better yet is ... -
Modern Rituals
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
On their debut, this shaggy quartet conjure classic West Coast folk rock like they were baptized by David Crosby and reared by the members of Love. The guitars on Modern Rituals are mostly electric, but the sound is slow-rolling and slightly surreal. Chief pile up lush, profoundly stoned harmonies on ... -
Lighthouse
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
"From Katrina to Super Bowl champs, this is our story," singer-songwriter and proud New Orleans resident Susan Cowsill writes in the credits, and she repeatedly veers between drowning and daylight, exile and homecoming, on Lighthouse, an earthy, often crunchy folk-pop gem. But Cowsill has a supple survivor's alto, and it ... -
Hear Me Now
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
It takes just one minute on the third record from California soft-rock group Secondhand Serenade for principal member John Vesely to start apologizing. "I swear I'm sorry," he sings, as guitars sparkle and fade behind him, "please don't hate me." That tone of penitence and isolation continues throughout the entirety ... -
Back to Me
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
American Idol Season Three winner Fantasia Barrino comes across like an updated Patti LaBelle – a big voice equal parts gurgling and throaty, with a predilection for vocal melodrama. But on her third album, she's more contained as a singer than the Idol norm, which fits the modestly scaled material. ... -
The Boxer
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
Kicking off his solo debut, Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke immediately announces that he wants to "cut ties to the past and wave it goodbye." For the rest of The Boxer, Kele makes good on that promise: Produced by Spank Rock collaborator XXXChange, The Boxer slices off the tightly wound ... -
Teenage Dream
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
There have been countless great pop songs about "California Gurls," some of them by actual California girls. But Katy Perry's Number One smash is one of the girliest and most Californian. It sets the tone for Teenage Dream, Perry's album about Cali girls: their hopes, their dreams, their desire to ... -
Fidelity!
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
"I found my perfect lover, but he's only half my age," sings Chrissie Hynde on Fidelity!, a collaboration with JP Jones, a Welshman who is indeed half her age but not her lover. From an old rock dude, this might be icky. But Hynde is a force of nature with ... -
Pauper's Field
Fetched: August 26th, 2010, 12:34pm EDT
Raised by a country songwriter dad amid old-school guitarists in Shreveport, Louisiana, 20-year-old Dylan LeBlanc can't help but let his roots show on his debut, with brooding songs built around pedal steel and fingerpicked acoustics. He's got the doomed romanticism of Townes Van Zandt, and his slurry voice shines with ...
