QU

(MySpace Records)

It’s a bit surprising that Different Light, the 2007 sophomore release from Sherwood, didn’t help make the California band a household name. With their Pet Sounds-era harmonies and a sound that evoked everyone from the Beatles to ELO, the album was pretty damn close pop rock perfection. Their latest, QU, is almost as good. It’s a bit cliché to talk about a maturing sound in record reviews, but it’s true with this outing. The band is certainly feeling more comfortable with their writing and has never sounded tighter. Tracks like “Not Gonna Love” sound better than anything the band has recorded in the past. Here’s hoping QU helps the band reach the larger audience they so clearly deserve.

The Chicago-based post-rock unit Russian Circles is a three-piece group known for their instrumental approach to post-hardcore/post-melodic.
A friend asked me to describe The Prairie Cartel’s sound to him, and the first thing to come to mind was “electronic rock you could dance to while punching someone in the face.”
