During his tenures with The Posies, Lagwagon, Big Star and R.E.M., Ken Stringfellow accumulated enough experience with inescapable melodies that he could've cashed in by starting a commercial jingle-writing company. Instead, after many years between solo albums, Stringfellow returned last year with Danzig in the Moonlight, a record whose playful title is reflected in the restless mix of styles—abrasive experimentalism, tropicalia-informed pop, jangling rockers and charming little keyboard drifters. Though experienced, Stringfellow remains refreshingly adventurous. Spooky Woods open. —Grayson Currin
