Matt & Kim Lightning
(Fader Label)
I first learned of this jubilant indie-pop duo upon discovering their 2009 stripping-nude-in-Times-Square music video “Lessons Learned.” Since that proved their awesomeness, I checked out the rest of their music and was impressed. Their charismatic duality beams throughout their upbeat music, with Matt Johnson optimism-filled voice and keyboard backed by Kim Schifino’s energetic drumming. Their fourth album Lightning is another great addition to their catalogue, particularly for demonstrating their versatility with so few instruments. Johnson kicks it off by singing about feeling free to say whatever he wants on the starry-eyed opener “Let’s Go.” The high-speed chiptune-esque “Overexposed” is another excellent standout, with a reference to screaming and shouting, even if the world doesn’t listen. “Tonight” is another favorite as well, focusing on living for the moment without wasting time worrying about what tomorrow brings.

Evangelista In Animal Tongue
(Constellation)
Born in New York City and currently based in Los Angeles, vocalist-guitarist-composer Carla Bozulich has been recording music since 1982. On the latest album from her Evangelista project, she creates a particularly dark experiment of guitar strumming, uncompromising sampler sounds and, most memorably, her uniquely emphatic voice.
Her complex imagery sets the mood for opener “Artificial Lamb,” which is primarily backed by Sam Mickens’ spacey guitar strumming. The foreboding title track is certainly another standout, with a sound that rises like smoke amidst eerie references to feral life and religion. On “Die Alone” – the only track with every sound created by Bozulich – she creates a creepy, minimalist sound with her mournful voice backed by little more than shimmering, punctuated percussion and ghostly electronic sounds. It feels like being lost in some sort of surreal forest at night, particularly with “Tunnel To The Stars” using doubled-up vocals and a swirling, dissonant multi-string foundation, and the unpredictable “Hatching” going all out with a particularly frightening atmosphere comprised of many layers of very loosely-structured, varied instrument noises and tweaks.
