Sunset Rubdown Dragonslayer The excellent Wolf Parade side project led by Spencer Krug puts out yet another notable record. (Listen here.)
Tortoise Beacons of Ancestorship The Chicago group tries to outpace its post-rock tag. (Read our review here and listen here.)
Reissue of the week: R.E.M. Reckoning An overlooked early Stipe & Co. disc gets the bells ‘n’ whistles treatment.
