Celebrity caterer Serena Bass, who plans parties for the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Ralph Lauren and Kate Spade, offers up some of her party-throwing secrets in Serena, Food & Stories. Bass cooked her first dinner party at age 16 (for her older sister's boyfriend) by reading directly from a cookbook, and the experience shows: her precise directions and encouraging, down-to-earth tone make it easy for even the most tentative cook to do the same. The recipes are for creative, homestyle foods with innovative gourmet touches like adding juniper berries to potato salad. The book is dotted...

That is to say, SLD favor controlled but nonetheless ragged guitar sounds, driving drums (deceptively light at times), simple bass lines and an singer frequently sounding at his wits end. If any of this sounds unappealing, you probably won’t like this album: SLD has identified their sound and hardly stray from it. There is a certain majesty, a more primal musical essence in some of their more...
