Hooks, fuzz, and jangly heart on full display: Baby Combat delivers fuzzy, hook-led jangly post-punk with nervous energy across a brilliant 2-disc collection, while enigmatic duo Hidden Eyes finally surface with a stunning double album of noise-pop and jangly indie gems. Zenxith keeps the lo-fi indie-pop conveyor belt gloriously rolling with his deeply personal 20th album, all tambourines, stacked guitars, and depressive charm. Barrelly Ego offers a cathartic socio-political EP with acoustic warmth, and Andrew Thomas crafts a retro-flavored, Joni-meets-Wonder neighborhood reverie.
