The Spinto Band Moonwink (Park the Van) There’s an undeniably ramshackle charm to the Spinto Band, an unbridled exuberance that parallels the early work of labelmates Dr. Dog on an endless sugar high.

The Pons In the Belly of a Giant This local indie rock trio has been together barely a year, but you wouldn’t guess it.

Annuals Such Fun (Canvasback) Like contemporaries Yeasayer and Gang Gang Dance, Annuals suffer from ADD. The North Carolina-based sextet takes a patchwork approach to indie rock, warping snippets of stadium guitar, syncopated beats, and ornate string arrangements through a jaded pop prism, all with varying degrees of success. While the band clearly hasn’t lost a…

The Summer Wardrobe Cajun Prairie Fire (Sauspop) No doubt the Summer Wardrobe could score a spaghetti Western noir – the band’s revolver chamber of shoegaze atmospherics and cosmic country beckons for big-screen accompaniment – but that doesn’t mean it can necessarily write one.
