Speedy Ortiz
Foil Deer
A little late this week, but it's worth the wait. Speedy Ortiz' third full-length album is a fun, rocking effort very reminiscent of early Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their musical proficiency has greatly improved since 2013's Major Arcana, and Sadie Dupuis' lyrics are as biting and expertly delivered as ever.
Foil Deer is the indie-blues-rock album that acts like Black Keys and Alabama Shakes can't really deliver on anymore. This offering goes to show that a year I thought would be devoid of decent, loud, distortion music is anything but. Joining groups like A Place to Bury Strangers, Lightning Bolt, and Drenge, Speedy Ortiz has provided as fine an example of awe-inspiring rock as has been released this year.
