Here’s are a few nice downloadables that offer a taste of what’s coming up in the year ahead . . . Jenny Lewis | "Melt Your Heart" | Team Love | Saddle Creek’s second-most-famous child star, Jenny Lewis has an unusual strain of logorrhea, one that makes her cram a sentence into the musical space of a phrase. Despite that affliction — and her repeated insistence on writing horribly shitty lines like "When you’re kissing someone who’s too much like you/It’s like a kissing a mirror" — this two-minute-plus song from the Rilo Kiley star’s solo record, Rabbit Fur Coat, is a gorgeous arrangement of wistful alt–country pop. Not bad for a girl who once guested on Perry Mason. Belle and Sebastian | "Another Sunny Day" | Matador | With this joyously swooning return to Matador, Glasgow’s finest indie-pop orchestra even makes f-bombs sound pretty, with B&S’s de facto bandleader Stuart Murdoch once again deftly wielding his poetic descriptions in ways that Colin Meloy could only dream of. Makes you want to dance like the Peanuts crew. Pearls and Brass | "The Face of God" | Drag City | Is Drag City looking for its own retrofitted Black Sabbath? Or just shamelessly aping Queens of the Stone Age’s first album with this Pennsylvanian blues-metal trio’s label debut? Either way, this thick-riffed stoner jam from the forthcoming The Indian Tower sounds as if Josh Homme had licked the pot-cookie spoon and tried to rewrite "Smoke on the Water." Good for spacing out with a headache.
