Even with only four albums under their belt since their debut LP, Karen O, Brian Chase and Nick Zinner still manage to stay fresh and sound new again with each record. Unlike some of their peers, the YYYs have aged very gracefully and, as proven by their latest release, Mosquito, still have even more potential to grow.

Though it sounds paradoxical, upon first listen I found Muchacho — the sixth album by Phosphorescent, Matthew Houck’s musical moniker — to be annoyingly placid. Surely an album that evokes such contentedness must be lacking in depth, right? Isn’t good art necessarily the product of emotional extremes? Wrong.
