The Ladybug Transistor: Cant Wait Another Day

By Tyler Womack

It starts on a dusty road in Arizona and ends up tanned, penniless, and spent at a beachside bar just north of San Diego. In the process, it becomes the Ladybug Transistor's best work to date. [28 August 2007]

The Only Children: Keeper of Youth

By Tyler Womack

The Only Children's "comeback" puts the "sophomoric" in sophomore album. [23 August 2007]

Georgie James: Need Your Needs

By Tyler Womack

First single of post-Q and Not U poppers heralds big damn things to come. [9 August 2007]

The Dynamites: Kaboom!

By Tyler Womack

In their quest to reach the essence of funk music, the Dynamites march out a cadre of old funk tropes and well-tested jazz techniques. And they do it in rare form. [17 July 2007]

Blitzen Trapper: Wild Mountain Nation

By Tyler Womack

Wild Mountain Nation is a feast for name-droppers, lads, and the rest of us. [12 June 2007]

Palomar: All Things, Forests

By Tyler Womack

All Things, Forests is a loud, punchy feast of power-pop anthems. And though it can feel like a long meal by the end of the album, it’s ultimately a tasty find. [23 May 2007]

The Great Northern: Trading Twilight for Daylight

By Tyler Womack

As a first album, Trading Twilight for Daylight feels too much like a retrospective: It has a lot to say about where it’s been, and very little about where it’s going. [16 May 2007]

Auto Interiors: Lets Agree to Deceive Our Best Friends

By Tyler Womack

Let’s Agree to Deceive Our Best Friends may be the holy grail of power pop albums. [1 May 2007]
