Dream Window is Orange Cake Mix’s best album to date. All of OCM‘s albums sound more or less the same, but what sets Dream Window apart is its higher production values and more deliberate, craftsmanlike construction. “When Summer Returns” is the kind of instrumental that Jim Rao can probably write in his sleep, but “Revelation

Minks penchant for crafting dark pop songs with classic sensibilities sees no end in sight. “Ophelia” finds them in more of a pastoral, reflective mood than the previous single, drawing on Felt/Durutti Column guitar textures and dreamy, whispy vocal melodies. Two more tracks on the B-Side and that’s all you get until the debut LP

The SPLINTERS may have only been a band since 2008, but the girls actually began palling around four years earlier as freshmen at UC Berkeley. Within a few months of forming, The SPLINTERS found themselves playing a bevy of shows and writing one insanely catchy song after another, their ramshackle rock n’ roll sound and

Obeying the old adage about leaving ‘em wanting more, the Austin trio give us just 9 tracks in 26 minutes – packed with walls of guitar noise, dirty riffs, pounding primeval rhythms and slashing distortion. Taking a cue from the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Velvet Underground (with additional nods to Suicide, The Cramps

MERGE RECORDS The Love Language is a fortunate by-product of frontman North Carolina native Stuart McLamb’s rudderless mid-20s, where a tempest of breakup, inebriation, and incarceration found the abandoned songwriter embarking on a storage-space recording project to slow his seeming disintegration.

ALLMUSIC Pyramid Landing and Other Favorites collects Robert Schneider‘s pre-Apples (in stereo) four-track recordings, cut between 1992 and 1993. Far more spare and delicate than the Apples’ fuzzy pop, the Marbles‘ songs are still cut from essentially the same Beach Boys-inspired cloth; while not as dynamic or accomplished as Schneider‘s later work, his early compositions

ALLMUSIC Since forming in 2005, Woods have been churning out albums, EPs, and singles at such a brisk pace that it’s not surprising the band’s music changed quickly as well. At Echo Lake is some of the group’s most focused and accessible music — relatively speaking, of course. Woods still love lo-fi production values as

BOOMKAT Last seen delivering top-quality garage-pop for Woodsist, The Fresh & Onlys move over to that other great home for scuzz-rock tunesmiths: Captured Tracks. Expect six songs filled with clattering ’60s psych-pop revisitations and astutely observed, melodious punk-rock detritus. “After some great records in 2009, theres a new album on In The Red due in
