St. Paul and the Broken Bones

• Genre: Alabama Soul
• Sounds kinda like: Brassy get down with the get down
• Sweet jam: “Call Me”
• Listen to the album: Half the City on rdio »

Whoa dudes, whoa. The tunes that are about to pour forth from your speakers or headphones are unlike anything I’ve heard since Friday Cheers introduced me to Charles Bradley. Also, because I am a bad person, I would have never guessed that such sounds could come out of this guy.

Houndmouth

• Genre: Alt-country jammer jams
• Sounds kinda like: An untucked, wrinkly chambray button up

You had me at female vocalist, then, with the organ, you had me again.
