		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 3 / 5 Reviewer: Michelle Kennedy When you listen to La Grande, Laura Gibson’s third full length album, there is little surprise. Even if you haven’t heard of her, you will know two things upon first listen: a) she is from Portland and b) La Grande has come out on Barsuk Records &#8211; THE [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 3.5 / 5 Reviewer: Nathan Atnikov Hospitality’s debut album is a collection of unsettlingly confident pop gems that squeak and squeal with cuteness. But cuteness, if you ask a band like She &#038; Him for example, can only get you so far. These are sweet, round songs, but they have jagged edges. Amber Papini [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewer: Andrew Mitchell Poignant, hook driven, psychedelic rock tunes have defined a Dr. Dog album over the past decade. While 2008’s Fate felt heavily steeped in late 60’s retro rock nostalgia, 2010’s slickly produced Shame, Shame marked somewhat of a turning point. Dr. Dog’s latest, Be The Void takes that progression [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 3.5 / 5 Reviewer: Kevin Hartford Old Ideas is aptly named. It has all the elements you&#8217;d expect from a Leonard Cohen record: lyrics about sex and mortality and religion, cooing female backup vocalists, sparse, piano-heavy instrumentation, and Cohen&#8217;s trademark chainsmoker grumble speak-singing from beginning to end. Cohen has a hypnotic voice that seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewer: Cam Hoff As the frontman of The Hold Steady, Craig Finn is the cilantro of the indie music scene &#8211; people seem to either love his brand of talky/shouty vocals or just don&#8217;t care for it at all. Hold Steady lovers will be fine with what they find on this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 3.5 / 5 Reviewer: Nathan Atnikov Rock and roll is often the domain of the young, and when the old try to inhabit it, they can come off looking desperate or, worse yet, clueless. Then there are some older bands who come along and show the kids how its done. Imperial Teen is one [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;ve also drawn comparisons to Joanna Newsom, they sing songs about Emmylou Harris and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewer: Michelle Kennedy Only John K. Samson, Canada’s punk poet laureate, would title a song &#8216;Longitudinal Centre&#8217;. Longitudinal is not a word oft thrown around in pop music. Much of what Samson can and does do lyrically is not oft thrown around in pop music. Samson is, arguably, Canada’s best lyricist [...]]]></description>
