Austin, Texas' Pure X specialize in smokey, thick recordings that sound like they've emerged from the depths of the band's collective emotional core. "Things in My Head," from their upcoming sophomore LP Crawling Up the Stairs (May 14th on Acephale in North America and Merok in the UK), is significantly clearer than their previous work, with a nervous synth undertone and gorgeous tangled guitars backing Jesse Jenkins' fragile falsetto.
