Each Friday, we review 10 recently released CDs in 10 words each:
Clubfeet Gold on Gold — Australia trio’s mellow music is backed by heavy electronic beat.
Menomena Mines — Experimental rock trio creates steady balance between songwriting and quirks.
36 Crazyfists Collisions and Castaways — Album starts softly before hitting you upside head with brick.
Micki Free American Horse — Sad tale of Wounded Knee does not need “ya dig?”
Graham Czach Lucid — Plenty of 60s/70s prog-rock influence in this album.
The Restoration Constance — This thing comes with a freakin’ book… not just booklet.
Great Big Sea Safe Upon the Shore — Canadian folk-rockers release 10th album with bit more edge. (At McGlohon Theatre on Sept. 28.)
Eli Paperboy Reed Come and Get It — ‘50s style of music has familiarity, but not much originality.
Gyptian Hold You — “Reggae sensation” leans more toward soul than Marley-style reggae.
Doug Keith The Lucky Ones — NYC singer/songwriter has deep soft vocals over indie folk.
