“Anna Leigh” sounds disturbingly like a Widespread Panic track, but now that sound is “alt country,” so it’s cool. Regardless, this is a sweet little tune, worth three minutes of what’s left of your attention.

With low, smoke-cured vocals, jangly, jarring guitars, a psychedelic space-out, and a primal roar, “Lazy Eye” is familiar but full of surprises. Not nearly as poppy as most of our picks, but terrific in its own way.

J. the G. are a D.C. band, but either they’ve been hiding or I have. The smart money’s on me, since I’ve been a virtual hermit for the last month or so. Plus, as painful as it is to admit, I’m not as up on the local music scene as I used to be. Or used to think I was. Whatever the reason I’ve missed them, I’m glad I found these guys. The original of “Good Day” is excellent, but the remix is even more hooky and propulsive. This one’s been on repeat for a while at my house. Feel free to follow suit. Thanks to Daily Dose for the mp3.

On first listen, “Five Years Time” struck me as too frivolous by half. But what can I say, it grew on me. It’s one of those tracks that makes you lean back, smile, and daydream of long summer nights, sangria pitchers and forbidden smokes. So whistle while you work today, and enjoy.

“Kiss With a Fist” is a cross between Lykke Li and Kate Nash, and if you like them, you’ll love Florence and the Machine. Crunchy guitars and a driving beat + a soulful voice and three-part harmony make for a rollicking (and brief) ode to domestic unrest.
