For Bad Indians' 3rd album, lead guy, Jules Nehring, gets to rhyme the words blessing and coalescing on the nearly 12 minute closer, "Marble Orchard". That is only one of many highlights on Keep Losin'. Bad Indians continue to kick out the psych jams, be they less (4 tracks) or more (4 tracks) than 4 minutes long. Nothing sounds too serious here and that's a strong characteristic for Bad Indians. The production is still so lo-fi and the music so loose that they just sound like kids having the time of their lives, sharing what they love with the world.

Compared with 2012's Moves' darker, semi-menacing vibe, White Laces' Trance is more forlorn and lovesick. They still carry the 4AD dream pop torch proudly. They know just where to place every synth accent. Their song construction lacks nothing. All tools are used to maximum effect. Of course, this is a perfect album for long night drives, preferably in wooded areas.

Pink Slime's Harmony EP is 14 minutes of post-punk perfection. I can't imagine what else they could've added to make it better. EPs are amazing that way; an exercise in minimalism, allowing for only the best material. Pink Slime tunes on Harmony are slightly excessive and it suits them well. I don't think they should ever write a song that tracks less than 4:30. They have the chops to extend their badassery as long as they'd like.
