Shine Your Light

Gap Dream, “Shine Your Light” (Burger, 2014)
This has the sun-baked sparkle we’ve come to associate with this label, but in a distinctive mode — surging keyboards and space-age harmonies that recall the glammier/poppier side of ‘70s prog-rock. What makes it brilliant and kind of insane is that the whole thing is enacted in the wobbly/garage-scale style of Burger, giving the effect of Dark Side of the Moon/Who’s Next-esque stadium anthems shrunk down to Bonsai-tree-size so that they can fit into the hydroponic grow-system in someone’s closet, next to the pot plants.

Butch

Geraldine Fibbers, “Butch” (Virgin, 1997)
Second album from ex-LA postpunk/noise-rock folks playing a hybrid of acid-tinged, melancholy country à la Gram Parsons and pummeling bar-punk somewhere between X and L7, in the SoCal style. Beautiful stuff; you can almost taste the yearning rising through the freeway smog and the Pacific salt in the air.
