Jay from Soundscapes recommends...

The Luyas - Too Beautiful To Work
"A Montreal based band. It's a weird and a little bit abstract album. You may like it if you're a fan of Deerhoof - it's similar with female vocals but the arrangements are a little more complex."

Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
"He's doing really well and a lot of people here really like his stuff. He wears his influences very strongly - you can see the 90's influence and his song writing is strong. This album is has a little bit cleaner production, so his song writing really comes through."

Charlie Rich - It Aint Going to be That Way
"I only knew him from his 70's single. This album features a lot of his early singles and has a lot more soul than I expected after hearing that original single."
