Julie & The Wrong Guys is Julie Doiron’s collaborative project with Cancer Bats, which sounds very ’90s alt-rock. Think like a cross between Veruca Salt, The Breeders and Local H. You can hear a dynamite new one from their forthcoming record if you look just below this paragraph. Fans of quality electronica should jump onto Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s latest “To Follow and Lead,” which reminds me a bit of The Knife (in a very good way). There’s a surging day-glo quality to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s new song “My Only,” as surging synths and fuzzed out guitars meet in a gorgeous collision of sound. After the jump, there’s plenty more music from artists such as Adam Jensen, Conner Youngblood x Nylo, Gold Fir, Loyal Lobos, Morly, Radnor & Lee (actor Josh Radnor + Ben Lee), RahRah, Sam Evian, and The Willowz.
