DEHD POETRY - FAT POSSUM CD/LP

After nine years together, Dehd seem to be more sure than ever as to who they are—both individually and as a band. They’ve refined their sound, cleaned the lines and (purposeful) smudges underneath their eyes. But, they have still remained true to their calling card and brave—and talented—enough to try new things. So while Poetry might not be an avid Dehd-head’s favorite album, I have a feeling it will attract a wider audience. It’s a relatable album, too, one that, for better or for worse, is easily digestible. In its simplest form, Poetry aims to figure out the healthiest way to love, in all its conditions: platonic, romantic, self. I mean really, what song isn’t about love? Hopefully Poetry’s accessibility means more people going to their shows, i.e. giving them money. Because a Dehd live show—woo boy, that’s a whole ‘nother article. Let’s just say, like Poetry, you won’t want to miss it. - PASTE

RAINBOW KITTEN SURPRISE LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX - RKS CD/LP

At 22 songs, Love Hate Music Box is a lengthy effort and the reality is that the members of RKS simply had a lot to say. “It’s kind of like a re-branding for us,” shares guitarist and vocalist Bozzy Keller.

“They’re not just in our brains, or even in our emotions,” she explains. “They’re a tangible force — as tangible as gravity or electromagnetic energies. They’re real physical forces, and they run the universe.”

“I think there’s a place for all of it. If you hate it, you hate it — now let’s talk why. If you love it, you love it — let’s talk why,” she says. “The ‘why’ is way more important to me than a compliment. So regardless of what people are saying about it, what I’m saying is, ‘Thank you for listening to my music.'” - COS

POKEY LAFARGE RHUMBA COUNTRY - NEW WEST CD/LP

Likewise, lazy listeners might tag him as a source of the kind of cartoonish, old-timey Americana worthy of a theme park attraction, which is also wrong. An heir to the similarly underestimated Leon Redbone and Dan Hicks, LaFarge deftly intertwines reggae, country, soul, gospel, and what have you to fashion an instantly familiar, yet curiously fresh, sound. - ND
