Arctic Monkeys – Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino
David Bowie’s Young Americans album as composed by Jake Thackray. Gone are the standard hooks and choruses, and instead you have a mesmerizing and atmospheric novel of a record. I have absolutely no idea what the novel is about, but it sure sounds good.
“Star Treatment”
“One Point Perspective”
Birds Of Chicago – Love In Wartime
Folky R&B by way of Montreal and the Windy City.

Hey Houston – I’m really enjoying the new album by Western Centuries right now. Check it out!
