Cranking up the experimental dial: Dino DiMuro's Fill It Up With Regular delivers grungy lead guitars, wild proggy keyboard excursions and Beefheartian crunch, while his LO FI ve strips it back to raw quarter-inch-tape warmth and his Heatstroke Alley: The Long Version finally unleashes the double-album that the world missed. Mother Raspberry & A.R.C. bring their sodium-heavy musical madness, paired with the uncomfortable folk of MacDonald's Futures. Immortal EBT's In Blue offers devastatingly beautiful shoegaze built around water, and The Shining Tongues craft a lush noir-pop gothic folk debut of intensity and drone.
