Jenny Owen Youngs: An Unwavering Band of Lightnew
On first listen, this deeply talented singer-songwriter's third full-length album is almost overwhelming, such is its embarrassing wealth of beguiling melodies, effervescent arrangements and endearing almost-love songs. But each time I press "play," it gets better, and now I find myself looking forward to each new track as the previous one fades.

Cloud Nothings: Attack on Memorynew

Lawrence Ball: Method Musicnew
Few fans of the Who know or care about all that's been going on in Pete Townshend's intensely busy mind. Those who do may have followed the episodic progress of his utopian Lifehouse project, which resurfaced memorably around 2006 with his effort to synthesize a mass of original music gathered online.
