Willis Earl Beal Nobody Knows

Never heard of Beal before listening to samples from this album. There's a gritty, blues-gospel-Americana-punk thing going on here. Beal sounds to me like Screaming Jay Hawkins channeling Springsteen,Tom Waits, Pere Ubu & Bevis Frond. Not a bad track here.

The Julie Ruin Run Fast

Kathleen Hanna returns for her 2nd album in 15 years as the Julie Ruin. I love this album more than the first release- it's more punk pop with a new wavish energy. It's also more accessible but I like the fleshed-out sound better.
