There’s more dancing to the slightly slower, great bass groove of “Boogie All Night,” a weirder lead vocal here but an even more infectious chorus. But the heavy snap and string sway of “Sober” is probably the mover of all the opening tunes here. The chorus is even more catchy then what proceeded it, and LunchMoney Lewis’s rap mid-way is fun.

A slightly slower blurbing programming beat informs “Sometimes,” all under a teasing female vocal, it’s a hypnotic drone of a tune while “The Dark Storm,” the last song here, begins with a simple piano line and stays that way, mainly. This is the most interesting, and atypical song to everything else on Music Is My Life, a piano instrumental. What a mind-blowing ending to all the dance beats and horns that preceded it.

NYC “experimental” rock & roll/electronic artist max lee has released his 18-song collection Colors of Noise. And there is certainly lots of both…color and noise delivered here.

Texan rapper/force-of-nature J’Moris has released his 4-track Extra for us all. Combining hip-hip, southern rap, dub & modern trap, the four tunes here pull no punches in the style of Chainz, T.I., and Nipsey Hustle & Biggie Smalls. As a self-proclaimed ‘product of his environment’, J’Moris seems to have amassed all his influences into this mix and it plays out rather stark and personal.

Maybe By Fall delivers on Analysis Paralysis. Here are some well-written tunes of a certain stripe, the band playing hard and tight behind distinctive vocals (lead and backing), making some rather commercial rock concoctions.

I’m not sure I am sold on lots of what sound like lots of the same sounds (especially from the guitar) of Crooked Flower’s arsenal. This is why I was so taken with the last tune “Own World,” as it sounded so unlike everything else, by the time I came to it my ears were loving the difference. Still, there is a lot of solid songwriting and tight playing here from Daniel Erik on bass, Dan Ingberman’s guitar and the wonderful drumming and percussion maneuvering of Patrick Shields. Angelina Dang singing over the top completes a pretty tight unit.

What I especially like here, beyond what is obviously strong songwriting, is LeeSun’ uncanny ability for managing sweetness with a slight discordant brush to her soundscapes. It makes for an uncanny production and a damn good 13 tunes of Singing You This Song.

A synth bleating bass and snapping percussion from the fantastic “God & Love” gets us up and moving for the 11-song wonderfulness that is Boy George and Culture Club’s new album Life. Although the songs come at you at different tempos, mostly what we get here is fantastic percussion, lots of horn interplay and George’s voice, lower, but stronger than ever.

Imagination Movers is an upscale kids’ song production every step of the way, with obviously lots of the big corporate machine behind them, influencing in just the right quarters and mining a specific genre of music not many rise up high in. I just think the songs, beyond silly ones like “#fuzzylittlecat,” the lyric might have had a little more meat on the bone.

In the grand tradition of Pink Floyd and King Crimson, as well as bands like Russian Circles and Joe Satriani’s work, we get solid instrumental songwriting, producing and playing from Adam Rose on Levitate the Base.
