New Spins.


Atoms for Peace AMOK 
(XL)

Thom Yorke digs out another pulsing rabbit hole. Headphone music. Fans of The Eraser will enjoy this record. The deluxe version has some beautiful artwork. Claims to employ live musicians but hardly sounds like it. 

Son Volt Honky Tonk
(Rounder)

Jay Farrar and Co. have always injected some traditional country elements into their records. Hell, Jay's voice was made for it. But with this new LP, they plunge all the way in, and give us a relaxed, mature, and well-mixed country record. And it's just right. (Also, don't miss them later this year at the Pageant.)
