- Lord Huron's new album Long Last feels both completely modern and like a soundtrack from a 1950s western. Mesmerizing.#
- Snacktime!, the new LP by Japanese pop band Atarashii Gakko is addictively upbeat. Think The Go-Gos and The B-52's.#
- I'm pretty sure I lost partial hearing at a Courtney Barnett set in 2015, but I won't hold that against her and I'm enjoying her new album Things Take Time, Take Time. Less driving-rock sound than her other releases.#
- Lorde's Solar Power, released this summer. #
- Dreamland by Glass Animals. A band I hope will be at next year's Bonnaroo.#
- Valentine by Snail Mail.#
- Adele's 30. I'm not sure exactly how much I'll listen to this, but I think it will be a good background album for the holidays.#
- And finally, but not least, Raise the Roof by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.#
