This one's a blast, just came out yesterday. Big contender for me this year, already. This is 'Slab Songs' by ANYTIME COWBOY (illustrator Reuben Sawyer) from California. Lo-fi, catchy, weird, dark, simple, folk, sometimes jangly, twangy, post-punk, punchy. ffo early Beck, Adam Green (Moldy Peaches), Guided by Voices.

(Reuben's been doing the Anytime Cowboy thing for a while, and has a bunch of earlier stuff that I checked out too, but THIS record this year is TIGHT and really brings together everything great about what he does. 🔥)
