(857) My Morning Jacket - Z
Never quite astounding, but unerringly groovy and psychedelic whether the album's hitting an upbeat or melancholic tone. Simply a good time.
7.5/10, favs: Wordless Chorus, Dondante, Laylow

(855) PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Opens as sparse, raw, and theatrical; occasionally breaking way into violent guitar riffs while Harvey wail-whispers her throat bloody.

Intoxicatingly sensual and funky. Sad to say that the album never quite recaptures the magic contained in those first 4 full-length tracks, but still an absolute vibe throughout
