Mi Ami: Steal Your Face (Thrill Jockey) – The sophomore release from San Francisco trio Mi Ami melds joyful noise into a tribal experience. Lacerated guitars, mammoth basslines, shifting drum patterns, and shrieking vocals are hallmarks of their driving sonic stew. Yes, the album title was lifted from the Grateful Dead and that’s a fractured Bob Marley on the cover. They even lovingly blend in some lyrics from Tom Tom Club and Bruce Springsteen. Recommended.
