5 Albums I’m Enjoying

Wave after wave of music crashes in on our city as each annual music festival comes and goes. As a result, I get to hear a lot of great music. The problem, however, is that I am incredibly choosy. There’s much more I don’t like than I do like. So, for what it’s worth, here’s what’s been burning up my playlists:

Familiars, The Antlers – streaming from NPR for free until release

Lots of Johnny Cash – the American Recordings are great

Antiphon, Midlake – their latest and brightest. Can’t get enough of “The Old and the Young” and “Aurora Gone”

After the Disco, Broken Bells – I’ve been a devoted fan since their pop-up concert at SXSW years ago

Treasure Hunters, Tacks, the Boy Disaster – these guys are super talented and very unique but easy to listen to. Had them play at my wife’s 40th.
