122. SILVER SYNTHETIC (self-titled)

Those of us yearning for the days of Laurel Canyon inspired music need look no further than this 2021 record. This is sun-kissed pop, perfect to usher in the Spring. Not exactly the kind of music one would expect out of a band hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. Jack White (yes, that Jack White) was so impressed by the band, he signed them to his own Third Man Records label. The album clocks in at only 8 tracks and 33 minutes, but that just feels right. Check out ‘In the Beginning,’ ‘Unchain Your Heart’ and ‘Chasm Killer’ to get things started.
