We kicked things off this week with a killer new song from Earl Burrows, the project of Mark Watrous, who is a former touring member of The Shins and The Raconteurs. We heard some dreamy new music from CHROMATICS, Emilie & Ogden, and Baltimore’s own Thrushes. We rocked out with brand new tracks from The Dead Weather, Fort Lean and All Them Witches, and grooved out with a new song from Geneviève Bellemare and an AlunaGeorge/ZHU collab.

This week’s fitting room album came from New Jersey rockers, The Front Bottoms. They signed to Fueled By Ramen and, with help from acclaimed producer Joe Chiccarelli, took a different, more focused approach to writing and producing for their new album Back on Top.
