Arcade Fire - “Neon Bible”

The Brothers Martin - “The Brothers Martin”

Deerhoof - “Friend Opportunity”

Pinetop Seven - “The Night’s Bloom”

The Night’s Bloom is the group’s latest long-player (that is, if you don’t count 2006’s collection of oddities and outtakes, Beneath Confederate Lake), and it’s a vital collection of everything that’s beautiful and evocative of the group’s spooky, forlorn music.  As hinted at by the somewhat ominous title, there is darkness and sin and death and regret at work throughout the 13 tracks—and Richards mines it for many a rich storytelling gem.
