(Downtown/Co-op)
Ever since the snotty three-chord upstart overtook its indulgent predecessor in the 70s, punk and prog have been understood as inimical forces. Since then, there have been mathematical punk bands and oikish progsters, but rarely has there been an outfit such as White Denim, who combine the drive of a hardcore band with sinuous virtuosity and cavalier genre-hopping. The Texans' fourth album introduces an extra guitarist, bringing the trio up to four, and follows up their last outing (2009's aptly named Fits) with lurches towards country psychedelia (on "Street Joy") and folk in a tropical climate ("River to Consider"). Thrilling.
