Albuquerque husband and wife duo Brett and Rennie Sparks celebrate their 20th anniversary with "Honey Money," their eighth record as the Handsome Family. Old-timey harmonies, sweetly lilting Americana melodies and gentle folk lullabies distinguish this love-inspired homage to early Grand Ole Opry era-country and classic vocal duos.

The second album from Speck Mountain finds the Chicago-based duo wonderfully stepping into their own. Singer Marie-Claire Balabanian's vowels are all drawly and take their time as they're surrounded by Karl Briedeck's raga-esque guitars. This is music that is not in a hurry to get anywhere, just perfectly content to lay down some atmospheric vibes and while the hours away. A must for fans of Mazzy Star and Spiritualized. Recommended!

An inspired pairing of two of our longstanding punk-populist heroes, this great debut album from The Mekons' Jon Langford and The Ex's Kat Ex is everything you might imagine. Kat's powerful, hurky-jerk rhythms and Jon's buzz-saw electric guitar take up arms for the duo's raw and passionate vocals. a true super-duo!

Twenty-five years in, Tara Key and Co. release a double album featuring what is no doubt the best music of their career. “Opus Mixtum” brings together every facet of Antietam, from ferocious bluesy rockers to atmospheric instrumentals and, of course, plenty of hook-filled pop just south of Yo La Tengo’s border. For fans of Dead Moon, Neil Young, YLT and Patti Smith, if you don’t like Antietam, you don’t like rock and roll. Period.

The second full-length from Memphis-to-Brooklyn singer-songwriter Megan Reilly comes on like a fever-dream, slow, hot and swooning, brimming with love and death and sadness and joy. There are elements here of later Mazzy Star, with lovely country-tinged orchestration and sexy, swooning vocals, or Neko Case, but Reilly's voice is all her own. A wonderful, timeless album of haunting country pop.
