Carolina it-boy songwriter Stu MacLamb started writing jangly lo-fi indie pop songs in 2007 and 2008 after the girl from “Lalita” broke his heart and quickly threw together the first iteration of The Love Language for a tour when they hooked a much larger audience than he had expected. That sextet lasted for a while, including through the acclaimed self-titled debut LP, but it’s once again MacLamb steering the ship solo with Libraries, just released this month on indie powerhouse Merge Records. Drunk Tigers open.
