I was a decent fan of postmodern beach music band Warren Dunes  2019 EP, Welcome to Warren Dunes. I m a much bigger fan of the trio s new LP (out March 19âbut four singles are already streaming). The hooks are sharper, even as the sound has grown more expansive, whirling together indie surf rock with radiantly spacey pop and more ominous currents. The whole thing has the beauty, weirdness, and darkness of a Northwest seaside sunsetâblushing with colors, on the verge of a storm.Â
The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio s second LP is a heady, hip-shaking testament to groove. On each of the nine tracks the band lays down a soul-funk-jazz foundation of warbling organ, strutting guitar, and taut drums. Then one of the three will take off in a solo that sustains that grooveâyou will never stop wanting to moveâand transcends it. The album s only fault is it ll make you pine to see the band live.Â
