    WHITE LIES
    RITUAL

    White Lies, the alternative rock group from across the pond, has released their newest album, Ritual. Their debut album, To Lose My Life, was the first British No. 1 album of '09. They quickly gained recognition as the years breakthrough band as they were showered with countless award nominations. While many compared their sound to productions of Britain-past (Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen), they adamantly stressed a disassociation from this musical movement. The band, consisting of Harry McVeigh, Charles Cave, and Jack Lawrence-Brown, give their influential credit to Talking Heads. While Ritual does possess its unique musical traits, it's difficult to avoid making the connection to the 80s New Wave.

    DESTROYER
    KAPUTT

    In the two years since deciding to kill off his music career, Dan Bejar, frontman for Destroyer and part-time New Pornographer, has released two EPs, and now a full length album as well, in addition to his contribution to 2010's Together. Given the man's enigmatic nature, this should probably come as no surprise, and to his credit, the declaration was not made without consequence: both Bay Of Pigs and Archer On The Beach came as radical departures from his work on Trouble In Dreams and before. If any question remained as to whether the change would render the next evolution of the Destroyer project, Kaputt provides the affirmative.

    IRON AND WINE
    KISS EACH OTHER CLEAN

    Sam Beam's earliest presentation, The Creek Drank the Cradle, was released in '02 and introduced listeners to a gentle, yet vocally charged, representation of Southern folk. Scenically hypnotizing lyrics with minimal recorded treatment helped generate its great popularity. Two years following, Iron and Wine followed up with the release of Our Endless Numbered Days. Beam provided his fans with little disappointment. The studio recording only ripened his vocals. The release of The Shepherd's Dog in '07 offered listeners an alternative image of Beam. His music had progressed through his own cultural expansion. Additional instrumental sounds accompanied sweet vocals and his humming acoustic. Although the cynical fan may argue, Beam can do no wrong. His most recent album has once again given audiences a fresh taste of Iron and Wine.

    BROKEN RECORDS
    LET ME COME HOME

    Let Me Come Home, the second full-length from the Scottish rock band, Broken Records, is a corrective dose of passion and sincerity. As the title suggests, this is an album about longing for the hearth, but also, the realization that after a life of rootless wandering, you might not know how to get back there.

    TAPES 'N TAPES
    OUTSIDE

    Following mixed reactions from their 2008 sophomore release, Walk it Off, Tapes 'n Tapes returned to their own self-run label, Ibid Records, for the release of their 3rd album Outside. Trying to resurface the band's off-the-cuff approach to their 2005 debut, Loon, Outside tip toes into elements of their early days of reckless abandon. Unfortunately, the album does not seem to carry the same buzz of excitement that drove Loon out of obscurity and into a growing list of up and coming indie bands to watch. Six years later, Outside demonstrates solidarity to sound, but not as much growth. There is an unassuming quality to the happy-go-lucky flavor of the album, but as a whole does not explore much depth or distance between songs. Nonetheless, Outside is one of those albums that, the louder it is, the more is moves you, but has enough calm and structure for background music on a long drive.

    THE DECEMBERISTS
    THE KING IS DEAD

    When the Decemberists signed with Capitol Records, back in 2006, concern arose among some fans that the label would pressure the Portland rockers to push for more mainstream appeal. Instead, the band released what may have been their most inaccessible recordings to date: The Crane Wife, half concept album, half eclectic mix of tracks, including an eerie lullaby about the Shankill Butchers, and 2009's The Hazards Of Love, a rock opera set in a medieval fantasy world, in which the spirit of the forest serves as the lead antagonist. Nevertheless, the band continued to sell out concerts, due largely to a devout fan base who eagerly embrace a challenge; it seems like the biggest risk the Decemberists could take would be recording a stripped-down folk rock album, a la Tarkio circa '99.

    MILLIONYOUNG
    REPLICANTS

    Call it chillwave, glo-fi, gltch or bedroom, but it's clear this sub-genre of electronic music is not going anywhere. Florida's MillionYoung, aka Mike Diaz, kicks of 2011 with the latest addition to the canon, his new record, Replicants. With two well-received EP's under his belt, including last years excellent and much more song-focused Be So True, this is Diaz's first swing at a full-length. Replicants, is a bounty of styles and sounds. There are the easily identifiable sheets of wall-to-wall synth, simple muffled beats and murmured, mixed-down vocals that are typical of the genre. But there's also a surprising amount of electric guitar here, as well as some surprising sound inventions, including a comical moment at the very end of the album, in which the music cuts out and it sounds like we're listening to Mike walking around looking for his car keys.

    THE SCRIPT
    SCIENCE AND FAITH

    With Science and Faith, gentle rockers The Script continue to cook candy-cane rock with a fresh batch of single-idea songs that reverberate well with the teenage girl crowd. Not much has changed since 2008's self titled debut, aesthetically or otherwise. But despite simplicity and a mostly made-for-TV view of both love and loss, the optimistic hooks and sap-laden bedside chatter is much more enjoyable than a significant amount of today's popular music. Well-written, hummable, and tightly produced, The Script are the epitome of what modern pop rock should be; less hand-holding Jonas Brothers drivel and more talks of whiskey, loneliness and arguments (however watered down for terrestrial radio those vignettes might be). You can knock the content as too PG for Best Drama contention and too risky for Disney, but the music world isn't a Loews Cineplex. If Jason Derulo is the salted Spam of pop music, these guys are the steak. They're real, textured, and universally consumable.

    JJ
    KILLS

    jj takes the typical mixtape ideology of borrowed beats and new lyrics and gives it a decidedly "twee-as-f*ck" twist. On their Kills mixtape, the group takes well known rap lyrics and instrumentals, and couples it with their very specific aesthetic via rerecorded vocals. The result is something surprisingly fresh for what on paper sounds egregiously pretentious. The combination of jj's pleasant voices, coupled with the familiar beats, makes most of the tape a compelling listen. Although it's easy to tune out when the familiar fades into reverberated a cappella and/or obscure radio clips, the flow always returns to something known and noddy.

    GORILLAZ
    THE FALL

    The Fall, the latest "album" by Damon Alburn's shape-shifting Gorillaz project, was recorded entirely on an iPad and released for free. That in itself might discredit its value for some fans, but it shouldn't; recalling a time before the fanfare of guest rappers and vocalists, Gorillaz is at its very core, an electro-carnival, hosted by Albarn's iconic voice. The Fall is just that (and nothing else), and it is reminiscent of the first self-titled album and everything that helped the world fall in love with these cartoon characters in the first place.
