Four-Speed Headphones

Kick the dust off your dad’s old cans from the ’70s and rev through four new records that’ll have your ear transmission shifting to accommodate. Swedish indie-popper Jens Lekman leads the charge with uncanny steel drums and a sunny disposition on Life Will See You Now. Roll down the windows (yeah, I know it’s still winter) for a few bruising blues tracks courtesy of Luxuriant Sedans (I swear, it’ll feel like it’s warm outside). Downshift to Lowland Hum’s pastoral Thin, and cruise into the night with Gurf Morlix’s latest feat. I’d use another car analogy but I’m afraid someone will throw a pie at me. Listen away!
