I’m sorry if you missed the Jail Weddings show back in March—it was extremely cool. Because its live show is so huge and frenetic, the newest release only does the rock ’n’ roll band partial justice, but the album is still completely worth your time. The 10-piece is a ‘60s throwback and definitely has the “wall of sound” effect, but with a sharper edge: a Phil Spector girl-group party crashed by The Stooges. The vocalists—one man and two women—sound like they’ve just had their hearts shredded. The lyrics are inventive and often twisted, adding surprise to the old-school sound. Perfect for going all the way in the back seat. (SO)
