Jimkata/ROAR!/Bliss Nova

Doubling down on an inclination toward electronic jams, Jimkata has been picking up some critical acclaim with their latest album, In Motion. (We’re thinking back to songs like “Electronic Stone” from a few years ago, when the band really began mixing various jam band subgenres into one machine.) It’s a fun album, which has always been a hallmark of the band’s work, with an intriguing blend of danceable music and probing songwriting. Check out “Innocence” for the general flavor -- thumping bass line grooves, casual chord progressions and head-nodding lyrical arrangements. They’re great live, too. (Eric Sandy)
