(178) Proud Flesh - Husband & Wife (Crossroads of America)
Bloomington buds' newest LP is easily their best yet. I appreciate the brighter feel and faster tempos. (7/10)
(179) Racoon Panda - Lettercamp (Five Three Dial Tone)
Debut from ex-Friendly Foes bassist + friends. Detroit people seem to be going gaga over this blatant pop. Not I. (5.5/10)
(180) Out of Tune 7" - Real Estate (True Panther)
NJ dudes make some of the best songs of late. Here are two more that are as good as the best from 2009's LP. (8.5/10)
(181) Not Music - Stereolab (Drag City)
Is this supposed to be the final Stereolab album? It's quite good, and sounds exactly like Stereolab. (6.5/10)
(182) The Age of Adz - Sufjan Stevens (Asthmatic Kitty)
First proper LP since '05 took me a min to get into. Good, different, masterful, but I prefer the folk. (7/10)
(183) Forget - Twin Shadow (Terrible)
Interesting, cool electronic pop that's 80s leaning but still sounds modern. Features two fantastic songs. (6.5/10)
(184) Golden Haze EP - Wild Nothing (Captured Tracks)
American release of Evertide EP plus three older songs that are great. It's scary how good this kid is. (8/10)
(185) Down There - Avey Tare (Paw Tracks)
Animal Collective dude's solo LP sounds like their last few releases but sparser and minus Panda Bear. Totes good. (7/10)
(186) Play It Strange - The Fresh & Onlys (In the Red)
Third psych-pop LP in two years is solid and probably their most cohesive. Opener "Summer of Love" rules. (6.5/10)
(187) In Evening Air - Future Islands (Thrill Jockey)
The music is synthy and very solid post-punk/new wave, but singer dude's voice is irritating as all hell. (5.5/10)
(188) Love Remains - How to Dress Well (Lefse)
Terrible R&B take on chillwave, I guess. I'm sick of this bad white dude falsetto. Worst release of 2010. (1.5/10)
(189) You Can Count on Me 7" - Panda Bear (Domino)
Second preview of upcoming Tomboy LP is quite a bit better than first. When is this album coming out? (7.5/10)
