Expanding upon the raucous Americana shuffle of his 2018 LP Full Circle Nightmare, Kyle Craft and his newly minted band, Showboat Honey, dials up the spacey psych-rock on their new self-titled record. Craft is an adventurous lyricist in the vein of Dylan and Bowie, and his strengths lie in his ability to go beyond mere idol worship into dynamic rock ’n’ roll explorations that propel songs like “2 Ugly 4 NY” and the heavy-lidded “Johnny (Free & Easy)” into anthems for a new tomorrow. Craft is playing two album release shows—on July 10 at Music Millennium and tonight at Mississippi Studios, so you have few excuses not to bear witness. by Ryan J. Prado
