In Brief

* * * 1/2 Th Faith Healers, “Lido,” Too Pure/Elektra. Unrefined guitar riffs and short vocal phrases repeat as sort of rock ‘n’ roll mantras in this English band’s debut. It’s a simple, not exactly innovative formula, but the results are hypnotic and sensual, with Roxanne Stephens’ airy vocals serving as the eye of a shifting, swirling storm.

Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
