Stephen M. Deusner

The Austin band’s knowing, sharply rendered indie rock filters life on the road into songs about interpersonal angst and heartland unease.

The New Brunswick musician learned collage techniques from a found reel-to-reel tape; here, he brings them to bear on a live-or-Memorex studio deconstruction of his own idiosyncratic songwriting.

The New Zealand band’s debut is heavy but nimble, with the tight interplay of an old-fashioned indie rock power trio.

The debut album from the late Oakland pastor is a powerful showcase for his guitar work, his singing, and his ministry.
