Sweden is loaded with rock bands trying to resuscitate the psychedelic sounds of the late '60s. So maybe it's unsurprising that the most internationally acclaimed such outfit would switch gears. On Dungen's fifth studio set, mastermind Gustav Ejstes downplays chaotic crunch for mellower, piano-led jams verging on jazz fusion.

Opening with clanking prison doors, then taking off with "High Cost of Living," a nearly six-minute, drugs-nullifying-life drone that's as close as 2008 will get to its own "Heroin," this honky-tonkin' ex-Marine's first album since Sony booted him turns a cracked mirror on Nashville triumphalism.

A decade since buffalo-stanced single "Legend of a Cowgirl" earned her momentary fame, Imani Coppola resurfaces (with help from DJ/programmer Adam Pallin and producer Michael Mangini) in a group named after an old Lisa Lisa track.

Originally planned for release last September, this 18-year old Brooklyn fireball's debut album follows a year-long string of singles and semi-singles.

This Texas coaster covers plenty of bases on his third album, many of them alcoholic, and the tastiest perched between stadium rockabilly and Dylan-worship folk rock. Whether he's feeling nostalgic for small-town foibles or fancying himself a drunken poet knockin' over whiskeys with his bad liver and broken heart, he's cornier than he thinks.

Al Jourgenson and his Prong/ Revolting Cocks/etc. buddies have excellent taste in classic-rock hits. Here, they cover a steaming pile, from ZZ Top and Mountain to T. Rex and Ram Jam, occasionally locating some proto-industrial locomotion in the originals' buffalo-burger beat.
