LAMBCHOP > OH (Ohio)(0)
October 27, 2008
Lambchop’s ever-curious recording aesthetic probably loses it more potential fans than it gains.
BLITZEN TRAPPER > Furr
Much the same genre puddle-jumper that put Portland, Ore., sextet Blitzen Trapper on the map with the self-produced Wild Mountain Nation last year, their majors debut Furr is every bit a worthy follow-up.
KINGS OF LEON > Only By The Night
When the brothers (and cousin) Followill exploded into public consciousness with “Holy Roller Novocaine,” they embodied the force and the frenzy of a shotgun blast at close range.
BRETT DENNEN > Hope for the Hopeless
“A little sincerity’s a dangerous thing,” Oscar Wilde famously claimed, “and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.”
