Psychic Paramount - Gamelan into the Mink Supernatural (No Quarter, 2005) This group might be the most powerful instrumental trio of the aughts. The songs on the two sides blend together into pieces that build momentum and tension before boiling over or just stopping. Think a mix of Don Caballero and This Heat. 0169

Mount Eerie - No Flashlight (P.W. Elverum & Son, Ltd., 2005) A good set of tunes from Phil Elverum. It is a more low key album than Mount Eerie or something like Wind Poem, in fact there are only a few songs with drums throughout. But I guess that is a draw for his music, you know more or less how it is going to sound but the instrumentation and arrangements always switch up. 0167

Made in Mexico - Zodiac Zoo (Skin Graft, 2005) After Arab on Radar broke up each of them members went on to form new groups. One of the guitar players formed Made in Mexico, this is their debut. There are a handful of very good songs here but the rest isn't too memorable. They remind me a lot of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks complete with a snarling bad-ass singer, but Made in Mexico is nowhere near as groundbreaking as Teenage Jesus. 0166

Lungfish - Feral Hymns (Dischord, 2005) I don't know where this ranks in their discography in regards to fan favorites but I do know it is a very good album and I am glad to have caught them touring behind it (Thanks Ann). I am not sure how much their music changed over their career, maybe they just got better at delivering their metaphysical lyrics over trance inducing rock. 0165

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain (Load, 2005) This is the sweet spot for the band as far as I am concerned. The songs are excellent, the recording is crisper than their earlier lo-fi albums, and they really are stretching their sound in some great ways. 0164

A Hawk and a Hacksaw - Darkness at Noon (Leaf, 2005) This may be the first album that violin player Heather Trost plays on and, from what I can remember of the first album, this is much more focused. There are hints of the Eastern European sound that would characterize later releases but they seem to be having a good time exploring here. 0163
