“I wanna be your Elvis/I wanna be your Jagger,” Josh Ostrander boldly declares on “Your Motherfucker,” a song under his identity as Mondo Cozmo. “I wanna be that love song that you can’t handle.” Now based in Los Angeles, the Philadelphia native aspires to a kind of Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen–style populism with such anthems as “Shine.” While Ostrander isn’t always convincing in that role, he’s no more inauthentic as a blue-collar man of the people than Springsteen, and his better songs have a mainstream-rock appeal that overrides the sometimes self-conscious mannerisms. Poppy Jean Crawford is an intriguing 20-year-old vocalist with a more unusual style. “I’m still a child in most people’s eyes,” she confesses amid the dark shadows of “Evelyn.” Crawford peels back the sonic layers further on the atmospheric psychedelic gem “Jonsies Gonesies.” With Andy Clockwise.
