INSTANT FAN: THE M'S

We’ve been all googly-moogly over this Chicago foursome’s undeniable (and possibly unhealthy) ’60s Brit-rock fixation since their self-titled 2004 debut, which took a batch of Kinks-y mod-power songs and sexed them up with glammy production. But this year’s Future Women—already one of Earshot’s favorite albums of the year—is brasher and better, and one of the few retro-minded albums that nods to the past without bowing to it (which may be why they landed a spot on the Lollapalooza bill). But enough of our yammerin':

The M's, "Plan of the Man"
The M's, "2x2"
The M's, "Holding Up"
The M's, "Banishment of Love"
