In rotation: Uh Huh Her + Hooray For Earth + The Strokes + Cults + Fitz And The Tantrums

This batch of new-to-me tunes includes The Strokes' latest, which, at first listen, is hit and miss. You'd think after five years they could deliver a stellar record, but this is a case where things don't get better with age. I hope the album will grow on me, but if not, thank goodness we'll always have "Room On Fire." 

Other beats on blast are courtesy of the new EP from Uh Huh Her, the dream pop twosome who have remained a constant on my playlists the past few years and Brooklyn/Boston collective Hooray For Earth, who are quickly becoming a favorite. I've worn out the EP and anxiously await the May release of their first full length, "True Loves." 

NYC pop duo Cults (who also have a new album dropping in May) and neo-soulsters Fitz And The Tantrums round out the latest selections for my stereo. Ready, set, headphones.
