UNDRASTOMPER | "O"

O is undoubtedly progressive, reconstructing elements of jazz fusion, psych, bubbling dream-pop, beachy math rock, and slacker punk into something that's both dizzying, explosive and still reserved in temperament. There are enough peaks and valleys to make anyone a bit queasy, but Skyler Lloyd's (vocals/guitar) melodies create a consistent calm, a balance to the sonic splendor crashing all around them, leveling the madness. Tundrastomper's songs unfold and unravel, built around Andrew Jones (bass) and Max Goldstein's (drums) jaw dropping rhythms, a constant spark of energy without limits, bursting with radiant colors and unpredictable dexterity. - DG

4. JAPANESE BREAKFAST | "Road Head"

For the second Japanese Breakfast record, Michelle Zauner crafter a work that isn’t just an extension of Psychopomp, it’s a massive, intergalactic leap forward. “Road Head” retains the vestiges of the Psychopomp, with a fluttering guitar line backing Zauner’s soaring vocal melodies and arresting lyrics. But it’s everything surrounding it that makes “Road Head” shine, with all the bells and whistles of an arena-sized pop song. It’s danceable and emotive, feeling slightly alien but distinctly human. - DA

5. NASSAU | "Risin' Sun"

Brooklyn’s Nassau take a different approach to DIY than many of their peers, opting to create serene folk music that counteracts the bustling city around them rather than embrace it. Their songs are clam and gentle, offering a quiet respite to the chaos around us and new single “Risin’ Sun” picks up where last year’s fantastic Hoss EP left off. There’s an experimental sense to their Americana drifts, fusing together elements of psych, lo-fi country, and beautifully balladry and “Risin’ Sun” ups the ante with brilliantly placed reverb, a haunting refrain, and some front porch twang, all balanced and constructed with a natural ease. - DG
