Sam Roberts Band album review: 'Lo-Fantasy'

Taking a musical gamble with its fifth album, "Lo-Fantasy," Sam Roberts Band chose to work with Youth, a British producer known for dub-punk and electronica, not earnest folk-rock. The collaboration's more adventurous output, however, ended up on the bonus second disc. The music on the first CD is pretty mainstream, enlivened but hardly transformed by punky vehemence and hints of soul, disco and reggae.
