Steeped in the warm, psychedelic pop-rock of the 1970s, the new record from erstwhile garage rocker Kyle Thomas is a gold-toned nostalgia voyage that’s never entirely familiar.

NEW ALBUMS
Flock of Dimes, “Head of Roses” (Sub Pop)
The second release from Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak’s solo project beautifully builds on the foundation of her 2016 debut, “If You See Me, Say Yes.” Where her first album was an excellent singular effort, “Head of Roses” is co-produced with Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and it’s the best material from the North Carolina artist’s prolific musical universe in years.
