Jacco Gardner: Cabinet of Curiosities
April is here, so it’s time for some spring-friendly music. Start off your sunshine season with this wonderful debut from Gardner. He plays every instrument on this ’60s-infused album, giving it a lush, lively, sun-flecked feel…with the hash-scented lyrics to match (e.g. “open up the window to your mind…”). If you’re a fan of the Yellowbirds, like I am, you’ll definitely want to dig into this one. Also, holy crap, I just realized there’s a giraffe in the cover art.

Suuns: Images Du Futur
Dark, dense and occasionally weird, Suuns’ newest is an audio delight. Layers of musical ideas and analog/digital instrumentation give this a kinda “evil Radiohead” thing with plenty to listen to and plenty more to move your body to. This is either psych-rock gone electronic or electronica gone freaky – the soundtrack to some dystopic fairy tale, happy ending not included.
