Rob Zombie – The Great Satan
The great Rob Zombie is back, mixing his industrial metal with well-felt punk influences within The Great Satan. That we come across all kinds of more or less welcoming creatures this time – tarantula, black rat, wolf-man or scorpion – does not alter the observation.

Pat Metheny – Side-Eye III+
Behind the magnitude of these eight new compositions which take pleasure in taking their time, it is once again the hushed, coaxing guitar of Pat Metheny, on which our ears will focus and, in turn, melt with pleasure.

The Sheepdogs – Keep Out Of The Storm
Album after album, after the solid Outta Sight, the quintet from Saskatoon, in Canada, imposes a rocky rock, a style of seventies southern road trip based on three-part vocal harmonies and guitaristic protrusions sharpened by the swift Ricky Paquette.

Lil' Ed & The Imperials – Slideways
As if the years had no influence on him, Lil'Ed and his acolytes make the Chicago blues ooze from every pore and keep it very much alive, with large doses of this slide guitar learned through his uncle, JB Hutto, a master in the field if ever there was one.

And Also The Trees – The Devil's Door
Among the survivors of the 80s, And Also The Trees is, so to speak, a case apart in that it has never known a… slack in its career. Their silky post-punk remains classy, with an evocative power that remains unaltered.

Mitski – Nothing's About to Happen to Me
This eighth studio album by the American composer often has to do with a desire for anonymity, isolation or more or less assumed withdrawal into oneself. She plays all styles with ease, pop – folk which sometimes embrace roughness closer to alternative rock. A velvet voice with iron determination.

Iron & Wine – Hen's Teeth
History will have shown us that an album bringing together compositions dating from the same recording sessions as those which formed its predecessor is often accompanied by disappointment, at the very least. Sam Beam likes to show us that there are always exceptions to a so-called rule.

The Wave Pictures – Gained/Lost
The veterans of the most “roots” rock scene on British soil are back with an album devoid of frills: songs located between the garage rock of the 60's and the indie of the great West typical of the 90's, cultivated in the art and the DIY spirit that has suited them so well since their beginnings.
