(112) Cosmogramma - Flying Lotus (Warp)
Very interesting and unique collage/samples record, but I'm sorry guys, I just don't get it. Too scatterbrained. (6/10)
(113) Paul's Tomb: A Triumph - Frog Eyes (Dead Oceans)
Not nearly as good as their 2007 effort, but still decent album of chaotic guitar rock with truly unsettling vocals. (6/10)
(114) Splash - Jeremy Jay (K)
A not terrible, pretty boring jangly alt-pop record with vocal nods to Morrissey and Jens Lekman. (5.5/10)
(115) Perch Patchwork - Maps & Atlases (Barsuk)
Not nearly as cool as their previous melodic math rock style. This is folkier, less complex and less intense. (7/10)
(116) The Samps EP - The Samps (Mexican Summer)
Members of AP's HG and their appropriately short, schizophrenic and lo-fi electronic pop EP. House-y and good. (7.5/10)
(117) The Five Ghosts - Stars (Vagrant/Soft Revolution)
Their last LP was absolutely terrible, and I expected a repeat, but this actually has some nice moments. Still not good. (5/10)
(118) Innerspeaker - Tame Impala (Modular)
Totes good Australian psych-pop record with some really cool production. The drums sound so awesome! (7/10)
(119) Champ - Tokyo Police Club (Mom + Pop)
Ex-super hype band and their surprisingly solid LP #2. Sounds a lil' like Death Cab on speed or something. (6.5/10)
(120) Square Shells EP - Kurt Vile (Matador)
Subtle and beautiful folksy follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed Matador debut. Awes melodies and textures. (7.5/10)
(121) Gemini - Wild Nothing (Captured Tracks)
Fantastic debut from young wonderkid. Like early MBV, The Smiths and The Cure, but more subtle than them all. (8.5/10)
(122) Crazy for You - Best Coast (Mexican Summer)
The songs may start to sound the same, but debut LP really does live up to the hype. Killer melodies and harms. (8.5/10)
(123) Mount Wittenberg Orca EP - Dirty Projectors + Bjork (self-released)
Lacking cool choppy rhythms band is known for. Some of vox are obnox. Still, quite beautiful. (6.5/10)
(124) I Was Thinking... 7" - Gauntlet Hair (Forest Family)
Bad ass, very neat indie rock with raw, spacey production and nice groove. Excited about what they do next. (7.5/10)
(125) Baby Style EP - Keepaway (Lefse)
Like a poppier, less original and less good MPP Animal Collective clone. "Family of the Sun" is great, though. (6.5/10)
(126) Mare - Julian Lynch (Olde English Spelling Bee)
Gorgeous, formless and way subtle psychedelic folk from Pitchfork's new favorite lo-fi guy. I am into it. (7.5/10)
