Atlanta’s Mattiel (pronounced “maa-TEEL”) is a potent source of flinty garage rock that sounds instantly familiar and lovable. Her sound bears traces of bold singers such as Holly Golightly and Nancy Sinatra, perhaps if they were produced by King Khan and the BBQ Show or early-’00s Jack White. The new album, Satis Factory, is more than just that: It’s a collection of instantly catchy subterranean-rock songs rooted in tradition without sounding staid. Think of it as a Southeastern counterpart to the Black Tones’ Cobain & Cornbread.
