Big Thief guitarist Buck Meek layers his Americana folk sound with beeps and boops for the first time on his latest solo album The Mirror, which comes by way of producer, Big Thief drummer, and ambient musician James Krivchenia. The tasteful synth doesn't overwhelm – you have to dig for it on most songs, and while you do, you'll uncover lyrics that are nothing new to Meek (“Music is in my soul/ Rock & roll is in my blood,” he sweetly warbles). The Texan winds down tour at home this week with openers Kisser, led by his partner Germaine Dunes. – Rina Laby
