Chinatown – Girlpool – Post fame and fortune for the new Haim, here they come up with a pretty, understated pop move, two part harmony, pretty and smart. It sounds like a modern day Roches – B+
Salted Wound – Sia – Sia has done precisely one song I’ve liked, “Titanium”. And everything I have heard from the 50 Shades Of Gray soundtrack has been abysmal. So guess what I think of this? Here’s a hint – C-
Aerosol Can feat Pharrell Williams – Diplo – a restrained beat crazy track but at this time and place can William please give it a rest. He doesn’t have to appear on every single track for the past two years – B
A Little Too Much – Shawn Mendes – What a drag, I’ve had more fun at the funeral for my next door neighbors 17 year old Sheepdog, Old Shep – C-
Pedestrian At Best – Courtney Barnett – Sure I loved that single, kinda liked the EP as well, but cmon. Everything she does sounds the same, and really come up with something new already – b
The Best Room – Modest Mouse – They weren’t terrible at Forest Hills Stadium last year and this isn’t terrible either but it isn’t good either – C
I Know You – Skylar Grey – 50 shades of meh – C
