All the way from Milwaukee comes the Goodnight Loving, a band that has quietly amassed quite a catalog: “The Goodnight Loving Supper Club,” due July 20 on Dirtnap, is the group’s fourth LP. There have also been three 7-inch singles and a 12-inch EP.

And it turns out the band’s not so quiet after all: now a quartet (after years of trio-dom), the Goodnight Loving mixes jangling British Invasion-style pop with rootsy heartland twang and plays with enough well-honed rickety abandon to slosh your drink right out of the glass. It’s stripped-down, balls-out rock ‘n’ roll, and there’s a good chance first song “The Pan” is destined to lodge right there in the front of your mind. That’s a good thing.
