A vehicle for the tunes of Jack Lewis—who's played with his brother Jeffrey Lewis for many years—Awkward Energy combines oddly imaginative story-songs with genre-hopping abandon. On their 2015 7-inch, "Heavy Metal Kidz," fuzz guitar wanders over Jonathan Richman-inspired rhythms while Lewis weaves a tale of watching heshers merrily frolic in secret. JOSHUA JAMES AMBERSON
