May 20

Yo La Tengo

Fade is the most direct, personal and cohesive album of Yo La Tengo's career. Recorded with John McEntire at Soma Studios in Chicago, it recalls the sonic innovation and lush cohesion of career high points like 1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One and 2000's. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out. The album is a tapestry of fine melody and elegant noise, rhythmic shadowplay and shy-eyed orchestral beauty, songfulness and experimentation.

May 23

Macbeth

The Farndale Avenue ladies don't shy from a challenge--though they probably should. Their current entry for the annual Guild Dramatic Society is a bold interpretation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Despite that fact that Lady Macbeth now lost somewhere on the wrong bus and the props, sound effects, and light cues are rarely in the right place, the Farndale Avenue ladies are going to make it to that curtain call, by golly, if it kills you.

Jun 16

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Reminiscent of The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and The Kinks all at once, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals have a sound that won't fit neatly in one genre, but has a beat, a physicality, and a mood. Potter says, "You have to either want to dance to it or cry to it. But there's also a feistiness to these songs that's completely unapologetic." Over seven years and three albums, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals have grown from an uncommonly bright band into a force of nature.
