Generationals, Alix (Polyvinyl)
New Orleans-based Generationals (Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer) came out with a rather stellar album of breezy indie rock last year, Heza, and are already dropping a follow-up, produced by Richard Swift (The Shins, Foxygen) , and seeming to take a more synth pop-oriented turn if first single and lead-off track "Black Lemon" is any indication. Listen below...

James, La Petite Mort (BMG/Cooking Vinyl)

The Lees Of Memory, Sisyphus Says (SideOneDummy/Burger)
Formed by John Davis and Brandon Fisher of Superdrag, The Lees of Memory's debut was produced by Grammy-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Deftones), and pits thick guitars and fuzzy bass tones against washes of dense atmospherics ala lead single "We Are Siamese," which adds layers of organ, synths, piano, pedal steel, Moog and 12-string, then encases it in a reverbed coating. Video below.

Teach Me Equals, Knives in the Hope Chest (Minorlit Records)
Sarasota's own Teach Me Equals (Greg Bortnichak on cello, sequencing and guitar, and Erin Murphy on guitar, violin and keys) have been touring the country, spreading 'round their classically-rooted, lo-fi-minded avant sounds (self-styled "scrape rock" for the duo's mode of bowed dueling), and all the while, have been putting together material for this fresh full-length, which calls on their usual instrumentation with some added texture on Theremin. The video for first single "Dictionary Of Imaginary Places" was created by Seattle experimental filmmaker Bradley Hutchinson; check it out below.
