ANYTHING and all by the Gaslight anthem. If you have the time, check them out. Their bass player isn't much, but song wise, it's simply phoenominal.

I think there's actually been a lot of great stuff that's dropped over the past decade +.

Recently, one of the albums that has really grooved me is the latest Black Keys record, Brothers. Grit, funk, soul, blues, rock and roll.

I'm not very familiar with their other work, but what gets me about this one is that it sounds like it could have been recorded 40 years ago in some ways but still sounds fresh as well. Also, it's pretty solid through and through whereas a lot of the albums I like from recent years have a few cool cuts and some filler.

It's not life-changing or earth-shaking, but IMO a really solid album.

Deloused in the Comatorium, or Frances the Mute.

Deloused better for the daytime, Frances better for nighttime.
