Songs for Wednesday: Allah-Lahs, Nathaniel Rateliff and more

Words // Adam Sharp

Allah-Lahs - "Catamaran"

Hazy, infectious surf-rock that sounds perfect any time of the year, including March. (website)

 
Dry the River - "Bible Belt"

Slow building, emotionally charged rock that usually ends in soaring, cinematic flourishes. Like here. (website) 

 
 
Daughter - "Medicine"
The music that Elena Tonra and her band create is extremely gorgeous and haunting, the kind that sticks with you long after the last note fades away. (website)

 
 
Y La Bamaba - "Court the Storm" (featuring Neko Case)

A little wild, weird and unsettling, but that's why I like it so.  (website)

 
 
Nathaniel Rateliff - "Shroud"
I'm still unsure how a man that writes the kinds of songs and has the kind of voice that Nathaniel Rateliff has is still so unknown. That can't possibly continue for much longer.  (website)
