With recent LPs from Paws and Parquet Courts and Chelsea Light Moving and er, My Bloody Valentine continuing to satisfy the nerdisphere’s growing appetite for all things #90s, Lightouts’ Want, out this week, feels right on time. Melding Sonic Youth’s mangled guitars and monotonic vocal sensibilities with a taut and measured rhythm section, these Brooklynites manage to tap into an ever-expanding history of blown-out guitar rock and laconic vocals without feeling like a rehasing of rock’n’roll’s recent past.
