The new Michael Benjamin Lerner–coproduced album by Seattle’s La Fille, Alright Already, abounds with accomplished power-pop songs polished to an immaculate gleam. Guitarist Jay Louis sings dulcetly and as if his skinny tie is pinching his vocal cords, a not uncommon trait among power-pop vocalists (see: the Shoes, King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas). La Fille’s songs go down easily and pleasurably, melodic sucrose that’s surprisingly nutritious. Alberta trio the Velveteins create a naive, delicate strain of throwback rock that seems nearly unaffected by the sexual and psychedelic revolutions of the 1960s. DAVE SEGAL
