Five albums into their career, the band exudes a cocky confidence in its ability to use rock songs as vehicles for both social commentary and personal angst.

Elizabeth Nelson’s reverence for the great songwriters is written all over the Paranoid Style’s Known Associates, set for release Friday via Bar/None, a durable indie imprint with its own known associations with greatness. As it happens, Nelson is a pretty nifty scribe herself, churning out witty, sharply written copy for everyone from The New Yorker and Oxford American to The Ringer and Golf Digest. She formed the Paranoid Style in Washington, D.C., with husband Timothy Bracy in 2012. The project began as a garage-band romp and has since evolved into an adaptable vehicle for Nelson’s increasingly ambitious forays into a richly woven self-fashioned subculture of music and literary scholarship and fandom.
