Essential Full-Length Releases

Dinosaur Jr. - Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not

It was upsetting to read recently that J Mascis and Lou Barlow aren't really on speaking terms with each other. This seems a bit strange considering that they continue to perform together. But, I guess it's good to see that, with whatever differences they have, they can still make great music. Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not is the band's fourth album since re-forming in 2005.

Watch: "Tiny"
Watch: "Goin Down"

Haley Bonar - Impossible Dream

Bonar got her musical start when she was barely out of her teens, when Alan Sparhawk (of Low fame) gave the upstart musician an opening spot on his tour. She went on to sign with his label, Chairkicker's Union for her debut album, before moving on to Afternoon Records and, now, Gndwire Records (with a few others in between). Impossible Dream is her sixth solo album.

Essential Full-Length Releases

DIIV - Is the Is Are

Following their well-received debut, Oshin, in 2012, DIIV hit a rough patch. They had an unfruitful recording session with Chet White, their bassist said some really stupid things online, and two members of the band, frontman Zachary Cole Smith and drummer Colby Hewitt, struggled with drug addiction; leading to Smith's arrest and Hewitt's departure from the band. The experiences fed into the band's music, which earned them another praised record.

Listen: "Bent (Roi’s Song)"
Listen: "Dopamine"

Junior Boys - Big Black Coat

Following their previous album, 2011's It's All True, the two members of Junior Boys embarked on a series of side projects. They came back together with Yellow Magic Orchestra and Robert Hood as inspirations and wrote an album about the lonely guy downtown. The "big black coat" is a metaphor representing an escape from the bleakness of life.
