3 Supercool Recent Album Releases
 |
| AM - Arctic Monkeys |
Showcasing a lighter softer side of the English band, AM is the fifth studio album by the Arctic Monkeys. Addictive, melodic, and more impressive with every listen, AM is a sleek and triumphant achievement. I am always sad when "Knee Socks" plays and even sadder when "I Wanna Be Yours" ends, because both are the last two songs on the album. Signaling the end of my musical nirvana.

| Turn Blue - The Black Keys |
When it comes to Turn Blue, Don't believe the naysayers. Older Black Keys fans continue to be up in arms over the progressive transition of the band's sound from hard-hitting soul and blues infused rock to an alternative groovy indie pop rock band. Newer fans on the other hand appreciate the older Black Keys sound and love their steady evolution. Variety is the spice of life and Turn Blue is delightfully so. "Weight of Love" sets the mood and "Year in Review" speeds up the pace.

| Take Me to Church - Hozier |
An EP with just four songs "Take Me to Church," also the name of the EP's title track is a passionate, enigmatic love song, with insightful and haunting lyrics. Hozier, an Irish born soul blues rock singer has a newer EP, "From Eden," also with 4 songs. The eight song sampling between both EPs has led to eager anticipation of Hozier's first full length album slated for September. We can all say "amen, amen" to that.
