Gabe Vodicka’s No. 9 of 2016: Samara Lubelski, The Gilded Raid


From now until Jan. 1, Flagpole Music Editor Gabe Vodicka is counting down his top 10 (non-local) albums of 2016. 

9. Samara Lubelski: The Gilded Raid

In addition to her work with folks like Thurston Moore, MV & EE and the Fiery Furnaces, Samara Lubelski has released a steady stream of impressive solo material. The Gilded Raid is her best-realized effort yet. Each track bleeds purposefully into the next, forming a sublime tapestry of whispery psych-pop.
