Naming their second album for the patron saint of unstable outsiders and epileptics, Gang Gang Dance claim their fidgety place on the furthest realms of New York City rock, blasting through art galleries and infusing their spasmodic racket with relentless dance grooves.

Electric Six’s fifth album may begin with "Gay Bar Part Two," but the sardonic sextet are only parodying casual fans’ desire for a sequel to their flukey 2003 debut hit, Fire. Flashy expands on the themes of the group’s more recent efforts, delving into the excesses and vacuous nihilism of a post-TMZ America.

Rachael Yamagata's second album, primarily produced by multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis (best known for his work with Bright Eyes) unwinds like a melancholy film score: Delicate piano and acoustic guitar melodies lay across strings and muffled beats, while her smoky voice mourns lovers who leave at a bad time and return at a worse one.

Emiliana Torrini Davíðsdóttir can pass for fellow Icelander Björk Guðmundsdóttir when the mood strikes, as shown by her meticulous imitation on 1999's Love in the Time of Science. Torrini's much more engaging, though, when cooing Me and Armini's less flamboyant folk pop, which hitches her wistful voice to vignettes of white-hot emotion.
