Best Albums: Spindrift, So Hideous, Calibro 35, Dosh

This week’s best albums

– On a soundtrack to a documentary that chronicles Spindrift touring American ghost towns, the Western psych-rock band covers cowboy classics and offers four new originals.

– With a swing of emotions and a punch in the gut, symphonic blackened hardcore outfit So Hideous releases one of the most exciting debut LPs of the year.

– Italian cinema-funk outfit Calibro 35 pays further tribute to its film-score heritage with a sweeping rock epic.

– On his seventh album, Martin Dosh continues rewriting the rules for a culture still mired in its deference to melody over rhythm.
