Dark Matter, the band's 12th album, "rages and riffs hard, but there are somber, pared-back, folksy meanders worthy of a long road trip" as well,
says Paste Magazine. This track lands somewhere in between, building up in power as it rolls.
After emerging as a guitar prodigy and leading a rock band, King has been working with producer Rick Rubin and developing as a singer and songwriter as well. This track from
Mood Swings is a co-write with Dan Auerbach, and
American Songwriter calls it "a seamless blend of country and soul that showcases King’s crystalline vocals."
The Australian actor/singer's new album,
Ramona, is made up of "lavishly orchestrated songs and rich, soulful vocals ... reflect[ing] on grief, self-destruction, and emotional violence,"
writes XPN.org. On this track, the lyrics are obscure, but the powerful voice is heavy with emotion - reminding us of the likes of Laura Marling and Florence Welch.
Here's another track from
Don't Forget Me, the singer-songwriter's third album.
Pitchfork calls it "her strongest yet, the sound of a wise, clear-eyed, melodious prodigy coming into her own voice." It describes this song as "a churning spin on the push-pull dynamic of a doomed pairing, where Rogers employs the classic songwriter trick of flipping the pronouns in the second chorus."
This sprightly track comes from the self-titled debut album by a garage-pop quartet from Montreal. It has the uncluttered sound of truly indie rock, reflecting its DIY production in a band member's home studio. They cite the likes of
Teenage Fanclub, The Pixies and The Replacements among their influences.
