MSTRKRFT”Fist of God”Last Gang RecordBSyncopated house beats and distorted synth lines give MSTRKRFT’s second full-length release a steady pulse. While the Toronto duo may not rival Daft Punk’s hooks and songwriting, appearances by everyone from Ghostface Killah to John Legend keep things interesting. Although three of the 10 songs on the record don’t feature vocals, the grooves alone are enough to keep a party going.An Horse”Rearrange Beds”Mom and Pop recordsBAustralian duo An Horse got its start in the dark basement of the record store where singer/guitarist Kate Cooper and drummer Damon Cox worked. With their full length debut “Rearrange Beds,” the band has come out into the warm sunlight. The album is comprised of very simple but very catchy, upbeat indie-pop songs that on the one hand make listeners want to dance and on the other bring up nostalgic memories of past relationships, good and bad. While the album has a great sound and feeling, it never moves past the simple chord progressions and drum beats, leaving it at times bland and underdeveloped.Static-X”Cult of Static”Reprise RecordsBUnless you’re a headbanger or a mosher, most listeners will probably find Static-X’s new album “Cult of Static” to be a loud, screaming bunch of noise. But to fans, the new album will be an exciting listening experience. Tracks such as “Lunatic,” “Stingwray,” and “You Am I” resemble past Static-X songs with crunchy guitar riffs and pounding drums. It’s the unexpected songs such as “Grind 2 Halt” that slowly unfold to give the album its unique twist on industrial metal.Editor’s Pick”Wavvves”WavvesFat Possum Records”Wavvves,” the second album by San Diego noise rocker Wavves (Nathan Williams), follows on the heels of his first release, “Wavves,” which was released in early December 2008. As confusing as all the various spellings of albums and stage names can be, Williams keeps his music relatively more simple. Songs such as “So Bored” and “Weed Demon” feature catchy guitar riffs surrounded by the telltale noises of recordings that haven’t been revamped by a music studio.
