05Haim: Days Are Gone

I briefly toyed with the idea of ranking this infectious pop singing bizarro world version of the Gollomp sisters ahead of the mighty Kurt Vile but realized this would put any shreds of my Philadelphia street cred, not to mention my marriage, in jeopardy. That said, given the amount of fun I had listening to this album, it just might have been worth it.
04Kurt Vile: Wakin on a Pretty Daze

I’m still all hung up on Kurt Vile’s off-kilter guitar riffs. They are never quite what I expect to hear but those melodies always manage to lodge themselves in my brain.
