Nightlight offers an oddly balanced trio of solid pop-rock. The processed flights of Brooklyn's Ladycop find an elegant middle ground between soaring electric atmospherics, computerized chirps and sugar-rushing hooks. Filthybird features similarly gorgeous guitar effects, but they package them into silky, psychedelic Southern jams with a firm romantic kick, thanks in large part to the resplendent voice of singer Renée Mendoza. Butterflies' current line-up tends toward the fuzzy side of slacker rock, but leader Josh Kimbrough focuses his microscope on all of love's little awkward moments, arriving at nervy odes that often match Filthybird's charm. —Jordan Lawrence
