In this week’s slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Jon Dolan says that Shins frontman James Mercer “nails a balance of economy and sweep” on his band’s new album Port of Morrow, “matching the studio lushness he craves with the secondhand melodicism that made ‘New Slang’ resonate beyond the vegan cookouts of his base in Portlandia.” Also, Simon Vozick-Levinson praises two new songs Radiohead have been playing at recent concerts, and Joe Levy says that the Hunger Games soundtrack is “the rare soundtrack that feels like it’s made by and for fans.”

ALBUMS

The Shins – Port of Morrow

Various Artists – The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond

Esperanza Spalding – Radio Music Society

Kevin Gordon – Gloryland

Radiohead “Identikit” and “Skirting on the Surface”

NEW ON THE SITE: EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS are a rag-tag bunch of modern hippies that birthed somewhere in the hills of Los Angeles.  Often compared to everything from Devendra Banhart to Arcade Fire, they bring a busload of inspiration to every town they hit.
