The woozy psychedelia of "Pariah" shows that Brooklyn songwriter Mike Wexler is coming out to play on his Mexican Summer debut LP Dispossession. With a funereal pace, organ drones away while guitars feign the blues on the way to a much darker atmosphere. The vocals, steeped in breathy psychedelia, seem that of an unreliable tour guide, but one you want to follow into danger just to take a look around. Dispossession arrives March 6.
Christy & Emily’s music is like night air — calmly moving, a gentle swirl of warm and cool, a surrounding thing. “Lover’s Talk,” the beautiful first offering from Superstition, the Brooklyn psych-folk duo’s sophomore album, hits new heights in shimmer, with their voices hovering lucidly above a reverb-glaze of picked guitar and plinked keyboards. Bass, drums, loud audiences — not missed. This is private music for public settings. The album comes via the UK label Big Print next month, and once you've sat a spell with the song, you'll know there'll be something else to be thankful for come then.
