During the golden age of jazz, the music label Impulse Records was synonymous with innovation and John Coltrane.

Then, Indiana's indie-rock band "Murder By Death" explain how the wild west and muder mysteries influence their orchestral sound. Plus, Radiohead's conceptual masterpiece "OK Computer" meets reggae.
