Their ramshackle garage rock is both restrained and chaotic, like walking on the edge of a volcano. Because of that, the Detroit band\u2019s three albums have been some of indie rock\u2019s most exciting in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>With <em>Relatives in Descent<\/em>, Protomartyr makes their debut for indie tastemaker Domino, the same UK label that helped turn bands like Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand into stars. But this album is distinctly American, full of sneering, verbose aggression directed at the powers that be and funnelled through expertly crafted art rock. Definitely worth a listen.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 30px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FIdwrnp0g1k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Miley Cyrus<\/h3>\n<p><em>Younger Now<\/em> (RCA)<\/p>\n<p>Say what you will about Miley Cyrus, but she\u2019s definitely an interesting character. Her transformation from Disney-approved pop queen to psychedelic experimenter who parties with people like The Flaming Lips\u2019 Wayne Coyne was one of music\u2019s most unexpected reinventions. But then \u2014 almost like flipping a light switch \u2014 Miley the hypersexual bohemian was gone, leaving a pop star ready to debut another identity: herself.<\/p>\n<p>On <em>Younger Now<\/em>, she presents what is supposed to be the \u201creal Miley,\u201d separated from all the predictably unpredictable craziness that defined the <em>Bangerz<\/em> era. <em>Younger Now<\/em> dials back the spectacle and puts the focus on Cyrus\u2019 impressive vocal range \u2014 and it is impressive. Tracks like \u201cI Would Die for You\u201d prove it.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 30px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P-v1KfCKVj0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>The World is a Beautiful Place &amp; I Am No Longer Afraid to Die<\/h3>\n<p><em>Always Foreign<\/em> (Epitaph)<\/p>\n<p>Since forming in 2009, The World is a Beautiful Place &amp; I Am No Longer Afraid to Die (or just TWIABP if you haven\u2019t gotten longer tweet privileges yet) has stood apart from a crowded emo scene. Their style blends post-rock and post-hardcore into a melting pot that will lull you into a trance before kicking you in the teeth. With <em>Always Foreign<\/em>, the band aims to cement their place not just in the upper echelon of emo but of indie rock in general.<\/p>\n<p>Though <em>Always Foreign <\/em>was crafted in the wake of some fairly high-profile personnel changes \u2014 including founding member Nicole Shanholtzer\u2019s departure \u2014 the band doesn\u2019t appear to have lost any of their mojo, at least if tracks like the circuital \u201cDillon and Her Son\u201d are any indication. It uses their previous work as a roadmap to a slightly more streamlined sound, reliant less on noodling and more on expert rock songcraft.<\/p>\n<p>And if you end up like-liking <em>Always Foreign<\/em>, you can catch TWIABP in person <a href=\"http:\/\/www.high-noon.com\/event\/1543252-world-is-beautiful-place-i-madison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Oct. 17<\/a> when they play High Noon Saloon with Ratboys and Rozwell Kid, who put out another one of this year\u2019s best albums, <em>Precious Art<\/em>.
