Speedy Ortiz Major Arcana 08/29/2011 Calvin LauberOn their debut full length, Western Massachusetts' Speedy Ortiz manages a bit of magic by conjuring the spirits of classic American indie rock, while twisting those ghosts into new shapes. Sweet vocal harmonies run up against gnarly distortion, aided by basic, chunky bass parts and heavy, fill laden drums. The theme of the occult and the supernatural runs deep through Major Arcana, inspired by singer guitarist Sadie Dupuis' reading on black magic.
