\"Sandy-Kim-1\"Number one on our chart this week is\u00a0Is The Is Are<\/a><\/em>, a lengthy sophomore release from\u00a0Brooklyn\u00a0indie rock group DIIV (pronounced Dive, supposedly named after the Nirvana song of the same name).\u00a0Zachary Cole Smith, vocalist, guitarist, and producer of DIIV, gives more breathing room to other creators in the group on this release, a move that pays off, especially when looking at contributions from bassist\u00a0Devin Ruben Perez. Is The Is Are<\/em> lets Perez’s rhythm lead tracks instead of having guitar dominate on every track.\u00a0It is a dreamy release from label Captured Tracks\u00a0that knows just when to get spacey, but it never becomes disjointed enough to lose listeners who don’t want to be challenged or jarred, and is admirable for it’s rawness and lyrical content.<\/p>\n

Following up DIIV is Dr. Dog, our number one from last week, with their ninth studio album\u00a0The Psychedelic Swamp<\/em>. The album, released on Anti-,\u00a0revives\u00a0songs from Dr. Dog’s first attempt at an album,\u00a02001’s unreleased\u00a0Psychedelic Swamp. D<\/em>espite some critical reviews that say the album lacks the reinvention it claims, the album does experiment and challenge previous notions of what Dr. Dog’s sound must be. The group experiments with definite articles, lead vocalists, gets gritty, dreamy, and smooth, and seems to be grasping the digital age without losing their warmth and low-fi loveliness.<\/p>\n

Number three this week is \u00a0Leave Me Alone<\/a><\/em>. This is the debut album from Femme FM friendly Madrid group Hinds, and it has seen some killer success for a debut from a very young group. The album hearkens to popular artists of late like Girlpool and Courtney Barnett, and like both of those artists is a combination of cutting and coddling.<\/p>\n

S\"Animal_Collective_-_Painting_With_-_Panda_Bear\"itting at number four this week is an album with a release that felt like a floodgate of hype being opened up; Animal Collective’s tenth album,\u00a0Painting With.<\/em>\u00a0In comparison to the ridiculousness of hype Kanye’s\u00a0The Life of Pablo<\/em> had (has?) it may seem minuscule, but nonetheless this release from Domino\u00a0has been four years in the making and is already gearing up to be one of the bigger albums of this spring.\u00a0The experimental electronic\/pop group is 17 years into their existence and still pushing the boundaries of their genre, and they don’t seem to be stopping.<\/p>\n

Rounding out our top five? Out of left field, The 427’s with\u00a0Mavericks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This Canadian group creates groovy instrumental surf noir that mingles with vintage film samples. This LP\u00a0is hellishly enjoyable and fanciful, and has a Spaghetti Western, James Bond-esque croon of mystery.<\/p>\n

New to our chart this week: The 427’s with\u00a0Mavericks<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>James Hunter Six with\u00a0Hold On!<\/em>, The Donkeys with\u00a0Midnight Palms<\/em>, The Cave Singers with\u00a0Banshee<\/em>, Basement with\u00a0Promise Everything<\/em>, and The Ovaries-eez with\u00a0I Saw You In My Dream.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
