Dad Rock Video: New releases June 24

Friday is payday and the official start of the weekend, but it's really so, so much more. These days, you say 'TGIF' because it's new release day, which means a trip to the record store. Jim Lenahan and Patrick Foster, hosts of USA TODAY's Dad Rock podcast, have these releases on the shopping list for June 24:

Deerhoof - The Magic: The long-running San Francisco avant-garage band offers up another slice of their unique sound, which can veer from slashing post-punk to glistening melodic sheen. Or, as a blurb on the website of their record label, Polyvinyl, puts it, The Magic is "alchemies of punk, pop, glam, hair metal, doo-wop, hip hop, and R&B, late-night car rides, long days, attitude and spandex." Give us two copies, please.

Marisa Anderson - Into the Light: Rapidly becoming recognized as one of America's most inventive solo guitarists, Anderson expands her palette on Into the Light, her fifth full-length solo release. Whereas she previously evoked the valleys and peaks of Appalachia and the delta backroads of the mind, her newest release was conceived as "the soundtrack to an imaginary science-fiction western film," according to a press release. The songs shimmer and twist, inwardly and then out again, like someone wandering, getting more lost by the minute, chasing a mirage that might never appear.

Also this week, a new record from country-ish foot-stompers Avett Brothers (True Sadness) and a reissue of early work by beloved power poppers The Bangles.
