David Wax Museum
David Wax Museum’s terrific self-released fourth album, Knock Knock Get Up, finds the Boston-based outfit expanding and enriching their already exuberant brand of hybrid Mexican-American folk-pop to practically transcendent proportions, slathering on the horns, organs, sparkling synthesizers, accordion and tubular bells for a big, boozy NPR-approved party. But even stripped to their core duo — the debonair Mr. Wax on assorted jaranas (five-string Mexican chordophones) and guitars; the fantastically named Suz Slezak on fiddle and her ever-popular quijada de burro (donkey jawbone) — they’re still capable of raising plenty of righteous ruckus, while offering helpful bon mots and romantic advice: “Don’t trust lovers who fail to recognize you from a distance/ They should know you better than to need visual assistance.”
