June (indie) releases to savor

Joan of Arc

fascinating "art-noise-emo" (mostly the last with bits of the first and little of the 2nd) from an English grad student who once ran a scream punk band- they "put the 'fun' back in 'funeral'"

(June 9th on Polyvinyl)

Deastro

Imagine a less medicated Animal Collective that didn't skimp on the tunefulness

Yahowah 13

Recently reformed band of cult members who were amateur musicians- definitely akin to krautrock and very freaky old-school psych

wonderfully amateurish noise rock with Zach Hill (Hella)

The Z's

Weird art-noise trio that makes SY sound like Kate Perry
