IT'S NEW SO IT MUST BE GOOD! (The Strokes, Justin Timberlake, Iceage, Widowspeak, Foxygen)






The Strokes - One Way Trigger. The Strokes are tired.  The Strokes want to go to bed.  Julian Casablancas want's you all to listen to his falsetto.  Listen.  Listen why dont you?!


Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie.  Just feels a little phoned in after 6/7 years out.  But he's always been good at that above average quasi-sexual fronting.  Comes easy to him.  And thats why after a couple of listens its just not fun anymore.


Iceage - Ecstasy.  Disco-metal anyone? Heavier than previous Iceage, but still sharp sharp sharp.


Widowspeak - Thick As Thieves.  Folksy chamber pop, like waking up and wearing 'Scarborough Fair' inside out.


Foxygen - On Blue Mountain.  The chorus cosies up to Elvis' 'Suspicious Minds' but I still love the pop/bluesy change up.  It's drowsy and loose.
