Mirror Traffic (Matador). Review by Eli Didier.

Bardo Pond (Fire ). Review by Matthew Moyer.

Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull have joined forces as the gorgeously poetic pop group Bad Books, but fill their recent tour setlists with songs from their collective catalogs. Jen Cray enjoys the music, but yearns for an espresso or two.
