Murphy's Heart
Thea Gilmore
Murphy's Heart is Thea Gilmore's 11th studio album. Produced once more by Nigel Stonier, this set stands in stark contrast to either the extremely polished sound on 2008's Liejacker or the lean, skeletal atmospherics on Harpo's Ghost from 2006. With Gilmore having enlisted the help of 13 musicians, Murphy's Heart is a collection of 14 abundant songs that are equally balanced between her trademark brand of singer/songwriter folk-pop and rock. As …

John Popper John Popper & the Duskray Troubadours
John Popper, the enigmatic harmonica player and vocalist who fronted Blues Traveler, has been a busy man since the band's last album, North Hollywood Shootout, in 2008. Between relentless touring with the band and with his John Popper Project, and guesting on others' recordings, he found precious little time to get his own new material out there. John Popper & the Duskray Troubadours' self-titled debut is what Popper refers to as the other half …

Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light, Vol. 1
Earth
Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light, Vol. 1 is the first in a series of thematically unified concept albums that continue to explore the Western gothic, arid, atmospheric soundscapes initially introduced by Earth on Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method in 2005 and continued on Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull. The new recording has more in common with the former than the latter in that it features Dylan Carlson in a more experimental, less …

The Tao of the Dead
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Recorded in ten days, Tao of the Dead featured a slimmed-down version of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, whose previous two albums were performed by a six-piece lineup instead of the quartet featured here. It's also one of the band's most conceptual records. The track list is split into two lengthy halves ("Tao of the Dead" and "Strange News from Another Plane"), both of them featuring a different key, with each of the movements …

Let England Shake
PJ Harvey
Polly Harvey took a more political and less personal approach to her songwriting on 2011's Let England Shake, drawing on her homeland's history to add a fresh approach to her work with longtime collaborators John Parish and Mick Harvey. The title track, "The Last Living Rose," and "Written on the Forehead" reaffirmed that Harvey was as forward-looking an artist as she was when Dry was released.
