Limited edition on glacial blue vinyl. Iron & Wine's Who Can See Forever is an accompanying live record to the film of the same name. Captured at Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, North Carolina, the soundtrack features nineteen songs from the twenty plus year career of singer-songwriter Sam Beam. Having found inventive ways to re-invent his catalog live over the years, Who Can See Forever offers new and fresh versions of Iron & Wine songs including "The Trapeze Swinger", "Boy With a Coin" and "Naked As We Came." The film - initially intended as a live concert film - evolved into a visual portrait capturing Beam during a creative outburst that earned him four Grammy nominations in four years. Like his music, the film touches on universally personal themes as Beam juggles being an artist, husband and father. Taken as one, the soundtrack and film are a fascinating first-time glimpse behind-the-scenes of Iron & Wine.

More than 20 years in the making, this December finally sees the release of i/o, Peter Gabriel�s first album of new material since 2002�s Up. During 2023, Peter has been releasing a new song from the album on the occasion of every full moon. Being revealed roughly every four weeks, each track has been allowed to find its own time and space, to enjoy its own orbit. �It�s a little like getting a Lego piece each month,� Peter explains. Now it�s time to stand back and admire the final, completed creation. And what a creation � 12 tracks of grace, gravity and great beauty that provide welcome confirmation of not only Peter�s ongoing ability to write stop-you-in-your-tracks songs but also of that thrilling voice, still perfectly, delightfully intact. Throughout the album the intelligent and thoughtful � often thought-provoking � songs tackle life and the universe. Our connection to the world around us � �I�m just a part of everything� Peter sings on title track i/o � is a recurring motif, but so too the passing of time, mortality and grief, alongside such themes as injustice, surveillance and the roots of terrorism. But this is not a solemn record. While reflective, the mood is never despondent; i/o is musically adventurous, often joyous and ultimately full of hope, topped off as it is, by the rousingly optimistic closing song, Live and Let Live.� Always looking to push the boundaries, i/o is not simply a collection of a dozen songs. All 12 tracks are subject to two stereo mixes: the Bright-Side Mix, handled by Mark �Spike� Stent, and the Dark-Side Mix, as reshaped by Tchad Blake. �We have two of the greatest mixers in the world in Tchad and Spike and they definitely bring different characters to the songs. Tchad is very much a sculptor building a journey with sound and drama, Spike loves sound and assembling these pictures, so he�s more of a painter.� Peter has also invited a range of visual artists to contribute a piece of art to accompany each track. The dozen artists make an exceedingly impressive team of collaborators: Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Olafur Eliasson, Henry Hudson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, David Moreno, Cornelia Parker, Megan Rooney, Tim Shaw, David Spriggs and Barth�l�my Toguo. Having handpicked the artists, Peter recognises that �They have the same obsessive attention to their visual work that we musicians have in sound.�

Split-coloured vinyl & printed lyrics. "Run the Jewels - Hip-hop's preeminent collaboration between veteran rhyme-slayers El-P and Killer Mike have gone from a whim-driven underground rap project to a worldwide sensation since the release of their 2013 debut Run The Jewels. Mixing the industrial grime of New York City with the vibrant bounce of the dirty South, they forge hip-hop's future while adhering to the core tenets of it's bedrock: gymnastic displays of skills, incendiary political rhetoric, merciless braggadocio, battle-honed assholery, R-rated punchlines and a back-and-forth that brings the interplay of the shell-toe Adidas era screaming into our contemporary nightmare.Tearing up the music industry rulebook, their self-titled 2013 debut was originally released through a series of website-crashing free album downloads.

Opaque White Standard LP (indie exclusive). ANTI- Records is honored to share a never-before-heard album by Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse titled 'Bird Machine.' Originally recorded in 2010 and mixed by Mark Hamilton (who also worked on 'It's A Wonderful Life'), Mark's brother Matt notes "great care has been taken to archive and preserve Mark's music. We are very thankful for Mark and the beauty he brought to this world."Sparklehorse was an American indie rock band formed by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous in the mid-1990s. Born on September 9, 1962, in Arlington, Virginia, Linkous began playing music as a teenager.Described as an artist who "compelled listeners to heed the beauty of darkness" by Pitchfork, Sparklehorse released many influential records, including the renowned albums 'Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot' and 'Good Morning Spider' in the '90s, 'It's A Wonderful Life' and 'Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain' in the early aughts, and a collaborative album 'Dark Night of the Soul' released in 2010.Throughout his career Mark collaborated with thought provoking artists like Vic Chesnutt, Daniel Johnston, Tom Waits, Danger Mouse, and David Lynch.While Mark recorded in various studios, collaborating with other musicians and producers, he did much of his work in his home studio, Static King, often playing and recording everything on his own. He was "very much kind of a working-class guy with a very poetic sensibility, who was drawn to artists like himself, who worked in isolation, " said NPR Fresh Air's Ken Tucker.Sadly, Linkous struggled with drug addiction and depression throughout his life, and despite his untimely death, his music continues to be highly regarded and influential in the indie rock and alternative music scenes.

Everything Will Change is the new live album by indie-pop legends The Postal Service. The album documents The Postal Service's performance at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA during their 2013 reunion tour. (The same show was featured in the 2014 feature-length documentary concert film of the same title.) This is the first time the show has been released on CD and vinyl, and the album features "Never Enough Time," which did not appear in the original video release. A collaboration between Benjamin Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (from Dntel), with Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, The Postal Service released Give Up, their one and only album, in 2003. That record went on to sell over a million copies and most of the band's fans never had the chance to see them perform live. In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Give Up, the band reunited to tour the world. Everything Will Change captures one of the nights when everything did change.

Green Day is not your savior.�
�
But the spirit of rock n roll might be. And as the greatest punk band alive, they�re the loudest vessel we have� to give it a shot.
�
Green Day are ready to flip off the famous, stupid and contagious, by putting a mirror to the present tense like only they can, with Saviors � an inspired new studio album to be released in early 2024.�
�
Amazingly, Saviors represents Green Day's 14th studio album, yet somehow this enduring power trio -- Billie Joe Armstrong, Tr� Cool & Mike Dirnt -- remain devoted to their defiant craft that has fueled their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre, and landed 3 East Bay punks in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
�

Recorded at Austin City Limits Live, at the Moody Theater, this live version will also feature four live covers including Soft Cell's "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye," "Tainted Love," and David Bowie's "Life On Mars," and "Oh! You Pretty Thing." 'White Ladder Live' offers the magic of David Gray's masterpiece in a new light.

Sleater-Kinney returns with Little Rope, one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band�s 30-year career. On the surface, Little Rope's ten songs veer from spare to anthemic, catchy to deliberately hard-turning. But beneath that are perhaps the most complex and subtle arrangements of any Sleater-Kinney record, and a lyrical and emotional compass pointed firmly in the direction of something both liberating and terrifying: the sense that only way to gain control is to let it go.

Misfits & Mistakes: Singles, B-sides & Strays 2007�2023 is Superchunk�s fourth singles compilation, a massive, 4-LP (or 2-CD) collection covering their triumphant return from hiatus. The amount of ground covered within its gorgeous packaging is staggering: 50 songs, 16 of which are on physical media for the first time, sourced from out-of-print releases, digital singles, compilations, and more�a vital piece of the Superchunk canon.

Featuring extensive liner notes by Mac McCaughan (with additional notes from Laura Ballance), Misfits & Mistakes tells the story of each release, from why they chose to cover songs by The Misfits, The Cure, Destiny�s Child, and Bananarama, to working with collaborators like Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee), Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go�s), Eleanor Friedberger, Damian Abraham (Fucked Up), Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley (Teenage Fanclub), and more!

Mac writes:

Who knew it would take a cartoon hamburger to kick off a new period of activity for Superchunk? When we recorded �Misfits and Mistakes� for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force soundtrack at Overdub Lane in Durham, we also recorded the first version of �Learned to Surf� which gave us an on-ramp for making new music after 8 years of playing sporadic gigs. It also reminded us what we liked about playing Superchunk songs, whether they�re our own or written by our musical heroes.

This collection covers a lot of ground, from heavy touring years to a pandemic where we made singles and an album at home. One difference between this comp and our first three is that this time span completely falls in the digital age; the distance from a final mix to everyone hearing it is shorter than ever. I�ve always liked artists that were prolific�throwing out singles in between albums when you least expect it. A surprise release from your favorite band is one of the few things that can still bring a little excitement to what can seem like an endless deluge of �content� (puke). Hopefully the wild swings between lo & hi fi and originals and covers on this comp still allow for some coherence and, more importantly, convey what�s FUN about this punk rock thing.

The 4-LP set comes packaged in a slipcase with two exclusive 18� x 24� posters, and the 2-CD set includes a full-color 28-page booklet.

�New Blue Sun is the continuation of discovery for me. My entire career has been fueled by this and it is the only thing that keeps me honest. This album is the most honest and interesting offering I can give today. I never could have imagined in high school, when I started rapping and doing music that I would be here right now playing wind instruments. Ha. This life ride always surprises me. I�m here for it.� � Andre 3000

This limited edition 3-LP vinyl is pressed on 180g black vinyl with fold out poster, printed inner sleeves and note from the artist.

What Do We Do Now is the fifth solo studio LP recorded by J Mascis since 1996. This is obviously not a very aggressive release schedule, but when you figure in the live albums, guest spots, and records done with his various other bands (Dinosaur Jr., The Fog, Heavy Blanket, Witch, Sweet Apple, and so on), well, to paraphrase Lou Reed, �J's week beats your year.�

What Do We Do Now began to come together during the waning days of the Pandemic. Utilizing his own Bisquiteen Studio, J started working on writing a series of tunes on acoustic with a different dynamic than the stuff he creates for Dino. �When I'm writing for the band,� he says, �I'm always trying to think of doing things Lou and Murph would fit into. For myself, I'm thinking more about what I can do with just an acoustic guitar, even for the leads. Of course, this time, I added full drums and electric leads, although the rhythm parts are still all acoustic. Usually, I try to do the solo stuff more simply so I can play it by myself, but I really wanted to add the drums. Once that started, everything else just fell into place. So it ended up sounding a lot more like a band record. I dunno why I did that exactly, but it's just what happened.�

Two guest musicians are playing this time out; Western Mass local Ken Mauri (of the B52s) plays piano on several tracks. Since J himself has some experience with keys, when asked why he needed a hired gun, he says, �Ken is great, and he plays all the keys. I tried playing some keyboards on the first Fog album, but I'm really only comfortable playing the white notes, so it's kind of limiting. [laughs] Nowadays, I could just turn the pitch on a mini Mellotron to play different sounds, but black keys just seem hard. For whatever reason, I just like banging on the white ones. Seems like it's harder to figure out how to stretch your fingers around the other ones.�

Mauri has no such qualms and plays all the keys very damn well. He sounds especially great on �I Can't Find You,� where he is Jack Nitzsche to J's Neil Young, creating one of the album's loveliest tunes. The other guest musician, Matthew �Doc� Dunn, is also prominent on this track. Dunn's steel guitar manages to both widen and soften the musical edges of the music, giving it a full classicist profile. Dunn is an Ontario-based polymath who J met through Matt Valentine. After J played on Doc's great 2022 Sub Pop single, �Your Feel,� he figured it was time for payback. Both Dunn and Mauri add beautifully to the songs here, helping to transform them from acoustic sketches into full-blown post-core power ballads.

What Do We Do Now is the finest set of solo tunes J has yet penned, and the way they're presented is just about perfect. Asked if he would be touring to support the album, J says he'll be doing some weekend dates, but he probably won't be putting a band together. And I'm sure these songs will sound great solo and acoustic, but the arrangements on this album are truly great and put a cool, different spin on Mascis' instantly recognizable approach to making music.

So, what do we do now? Not sure. But apparently, what J does is to make one of his most killer records ever. Hats off to him.

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 1981 EP from the alt-rockers.

Legendary indie-rock band Grandaddy has announced a brand new studio album Blu Wav set for release February 16, 2024 via Dangerbird Records. A prolific storyteller, Jason Lytle is inspired by the overwhelming beauty of nature to the mundane moments that spark life�s strongest memories. Introducing pedal steel into the band�s repertoire for the first time, buoyant lead single �Watercooler� comments on the dichotomy of both. It was inspired by having his own outdoorsy rock guy (in both senses of the word) lifestyle while his partner had an office job. Lytle shares, �Most of my relationships have involved girls who worked in office settings. This song is about the end of one, or perhaps a few, of those relationships. Listeners will also notice the pedal steel on this track and eventually on many others from the forthcoming new album. It�s a first for Grandaddy, and I couldn't be more thrilled about this fact.� With the album title Blu Wav meant to be a literal mash-up of �bluegrass� and �new wave�, the new collection has a distinct feel, a uniform vibe, and a somewhat unexpected sound. It was conceived as Grandaddy maestro Jason Lytle was driving through the Nevada desert, and Patti Page�s "Tennessee Waltz" came across the classic country station on the radio. He was immediately intrigued by the possibilities of what it might sound like to keep the slow sway and sweet, simple lyrics of the bluegrass waltz while adding layers of dense synthesizers and the electronics of new wave. It incorporates the lo-fi lushness and sometimes-psychedelic orchestration Grandaddy is known for with Lytle�s first foray into true country. Seven of its 13 songs are waltzes, and as Lytle notes, �there�s an inordinate amount of pedal steel.� Grandaddy recently celebrated their legacy with a series of 20th anniversary reissues including the acclaimed Sumday Twunny box set which earned a Pitchfork �Best New Reissue�. Lytle also contributed vocals to a posthumous Sparklehorse album by request of his friend and fellow psychedelic pop auteur Mark Linkous� family. Grandaddy has released five official LPs, most recently 2017�s Last Place. Grandaddy members include Jason Lytle, Aaron Burtch, Jim Fairchild, Tim Dryden, and the late Kevin Garcia, who passed away in 2017.

Green Day�s third studio album Dookie was released in February 1994, and has since sold over 15 million copies worldwide, including 10 million in the US (RIAA Diamond certified).

It spawned five hit singles that are still hugely popular songs: �Longview�, �Basket Case�, �Welcome to Paradise�, �When I Come Around�, and �She�.

Bleachers return with their self-titled new album, via Dirty Hit. The album is Jack Antonoff�s distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life, on his position in culture, and the things he cares about. Sonically, it�s sad, it�s joyful, it�s music for driving on the highway to, for crying to and for dancing to at weddings. There�s something reassuringly touchable and concrete about its sentiment: exist in crazy times but remember what counts. Vinyl variants include 4 bonus tracks. Indie Exclusive Blue 2 LP.

Following it�s surprise digital release, Sigur R�s� first new studio album in ten years, �TTA, is their most intimate and emotionally direct record to date. Few bands cut through the noise and distractions of the world to bring you a pure elemental truth or feeling like Sigur R�s. As you hear on �TTA, there�s a new compulsion and drive to the band that comes with the new formation of the line up. Multi-instrumentalist Kjartan Sveinsson is back in the fold � having left the band in 2012 � to join frontman J�nsi and bassist Georg Holm. Recorded across multiple continents - in the band�s Sundlaugin studio in Iceland, the legendary Abbey Road in the UK and a number of studios in the US - �TTA leans heavily towards the orchestral, and touches on everything that has made Sigur R�s one of the most ambitious and acclaimed bands of recent times, with close to ten million albums sold, whilst signposting an exciting and expansive possibility for their future. �TTA prominently features the London Contemporary Orchestra conducted by Robert Ames, alongside brass performed by longtime Icelandic collaborators Brassgat � bala. It is mixed and co-produced by another frequent collaborator Paul Corley, alongside the band."

2023 Marks forty years since Tom Waits released�Swordfishtrombones,�ushering in a new and critically acclaimed musical era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, Brennan.�Waits went from �70�s-era �bluesy, boozy� wordsmith and melodist with seven albums behind him to sound sculptor, miner of the subconscious, abstract orchestrator, sonic cubist�while retaining his innate lyricism, melodic invention, humanity. As he put it in a 1983 interview: �I tried to listen to the noise in my head and invent some junkyard orchestral deviation�a mutant apparatus to drive this noise into a wreck collection.� �It�s a Waits-arranged pastiche, a variety of atmospheres from different sound planets. There is the warped, marching-army-ants music of �Underground,� an impressionist chant about people living below cities, but there was also the poignancy of the spare piano ballad, �Soldier�s Things,� the good bar yarn, �Frank�s Wild Years�, the tender, minimalist paean to Waits� wife and muse, Kathleen, �Johnsburg, Illinois,� and the raggedy anthem to neighborhood chaos, �In the Neighborhood.�

�On Swordfishtrombones, Waits has made a breakthrough � he�s found music as evocative as his words. Waits�s grumble of a voice now bounces off a peculiar assortment of horns and percussion and organ and keyboards, as if he�d led a Salvation Army band into a broken-down Hong Kong disco. It�s as if he�s shifted from monologues to screenplays�� � Jon Parales January 1984 � GQ Magazine

The album is newly remastered for the first time ever from the original EQ�ed �� production master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Mastered by�Chris Bellman�at�Bernie Grundman Mastering�under the guidance of Waits� longtime audio engineer,�Karl Derfler.�The album packaging has also been restored. Available as a CD digipack.

Originally released in 1987 on Island Records, Franks Wild Years is Tom Waits� 10th studio album. Titled for a play of the same name and authored by Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan, Franks Wild Years was performed by Chicago�s Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1986.�Franks Wild Years�is an iteration of the track �Frank�s Wild Years� from Waits� 1983 album�Swordfishtrombones.

The album divides the story neatly into two acts and although titled �un operachi romantic�, there is no opera in�Franks. There is a hilarious touch of operatic styling by Waits himself in the song �Temptation.� His vocal character varies wildly throughout the work�s 17 songs, and is no more impressive than when the gruff, growly singer turns to impeccable Sinatra-esque phrasing on the Vegas number, �Straight To The Top.� While�Franks�featured a 14-member cast on stage, the album is all-Waits�yet suggests a multitude of characters by virtue of his chameleon vocals. The album is a startling group of lost dreams, bad dreams, dreams that might not even�be�dreams. The music is nightmarish, ethereal, beautiful. Think broken calliopes played by genius children, horns played at dawn in a graveyard, banjos leaking through practice room walls. Titles evoke Frank�s dime-store Odyssey:� �Straight To The Top,� �Blow Wind Blow,� �Temptation,� �I�ll Be Gone.���NME�ranked the work the number five album of 1987.

Newly remastered for the first time ever from the original �� flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan.�Mastered by�Chris Bellman�at�Bernie Grundman Mastering�under the guidance of Waits� longtime audio engineer,�Karl Derfler.�The album packaging has also been restored.�Franks Wild Years�includes tracks such as �Cold Cold Ground,� �Way Down In The Hole� � versions of which were used as the theme music of HBO�s series�The Wire��� and �Temptation.� Available as a CD digipack.

The album, Africa Unite, portrays two worlds colliding from a whole new generation of Afro-fused musicians reinterpreting Bob Marley's classic songs. As the name suggests, unity is at the heart of the album, and that is without a doubt the focus.

'In The Moment That You're Born' features 10 never released songs, and all the lyrics were solely written by the late Shawn Smith, exception made for Stars N� You, (originally written by Andy Wood of Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun for the Deep Six Compilation).

The album was self-produced by Brad, and recorded and mixed by Floyd Reitsma at Studio Litho in Seattle (except for "In The Moment That You're Born," which was mixed by Josh Evans).

Since announcing their arrival with debut album in 1991, Blur went on to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with six successive UK #1 albums and a string of Top 10 singles, including two No 1s, helping to propel the band to mass popularity at home and abroad. One of the biggest British bands of the last three decades, Blur have released eight studio albums and collected ten NME Awards, six Q Awards, five BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and played live to millions of devoted fans across the globe.

Whilst they are an iconic band, the new music truly feels like they have re-invented their sound for 2023 and we should really amplify the commercial viability and youthful leaning sound to reach new audiences.

The album is truly incredible body of work which is beautifully layered, with real stand-out singles which is understandably described by the band as one of their best creations.

The Newport Jazz Festival had always brought the best out of Nina Simone. On July 2, 1966 the audience was treated to the full range of her artistry � from the opener, a breathtaking version of �You�ve Got To Learn� to a swinging take on �Mississippi Goddam.� After the standing ovation, her fans were rewarded with the show- stopping encore, �Music For Lovers.� This previously unreleased recording makes it clear why hearing Nina Simone in concert was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Indie Exclusive Bone LP.

Taylor Swift -"Speak Now (Taylor's Version) - 3 LP - Taylor Swift's 2010 album "Speak Now" is being re-released on July 7 as "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." The album will be released as a 3-LP vinyl - [Orchid Marbled 3 LP]

PJ Harvey�s tenth studio album �I Inside the Old Year Dying� marks her first release in seven years, following UK #1 album �The Hope Six Demolition Project�. On this album, which was recorded with long-time creative collaborators John Parish and Flood, PJ Harvey builds a sonic universe somehow located in a space between life�s opposites, and between recent history and the ancient past. Scattered with biblical imagery and references to Shakespeare, all of these distinctions ultimately dissolve into something profoundly uplifting and redemptive.

Wild Creatures is a career retrospective album containing twenty-three of Neko Case�s most impactful tracks from her discography, and will now be available on CD and 2x LP.

With a career spanning over twenty years, she has famously collaborated with The New Pornographers and Case/Lang/Veirs in addition to releasing many critically acclaimed solo albums, including �Fox Confessor Brings The Flood�, �Middle Cyclone� and most recently 2018�s �Hell-On�.

Gathering power year after year, Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style, where their ghost can appear any minute. When her voice jumps an octave, it�s almost visible, like sparks at night. �I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice,� she says, �but I just wanted to do it so bad.�

The Vinyl configurations include: 2 LPs with printed inner sleeves, in a Gate- fold jacket.

Gag Order is an album that finds the GRAMMY-nominated pop star, Kesha, excavating the deepest recesses of her soul to date. The record, which Kesha has labeled �post-pop� and was produced by Rick Rubin, is a full-bodied collection that flows like a stream of conscious journey through the psychedelic dark depths of the human psyche followed by basking in the cleansing light when finally reaching the surface.

�Several times, as I listened to M. Ward�s Supernatural Thing, I asked myself what year it�was. Was it 1952, and was I listening to a track from the Harry Smith Anthology? Was it�1972, and was I eavesdropping on the recording session for After the Gold Rush?�No, it�s 2023, and M. Ward is one of the special contemporary artists who invite such�questions. Ward has clearly mastered the whole vocabulary of American popular music�and made serious decisions about how to employ it for his own ends. What Ward shares�with Harry Smith�s artists and Neil Young is a context of musical and human values:�authenticity and intimacy. Supernatural Thing�s original songs sound freshly pulled from�the ground, with a little earth sticking to them. Ward�s lyric delivery has that slight rawness�the ear loves, and his voice has quiet dignity and great tenderness. Supernatural Thing is�an open-hearted, inviting album.�

The album�s guest stars � First Aid Kit, Shovels & Rope, Scott McMicken, Neko Case,�Jim James, others � enliven the album with surprises. On �Too Young to Die,� the women�s voices in First Aid Kit spread a light frosting over the melody, and their Beach Boys-like chorus on �Engine 5� makes the song sound like an instant hit. Eight of the album�s�ten songs are Ward originals. There�s an unusual Bowie choice, �I Can�t Give Everything�Away� from Blackstar, and a live rendition of Daniel Johnston�s �Story of an Artist.���-By James Cushing

Both as a solo artist and as one-half of She & Him, M. Ward became one of the defining�voices of the American indie landscape in the 2000s, earning fans and critical acclaim�for his distinctive brand of breezy West Coast Americana which pulled from folk, country,�blues, pop, and experimental indie rock elements. Ward established himself with warm,�analog-minded releases like 2003�s Transfiguration of Vincent and 2006�s Post-War before joining forces with singer/actress Zooey Deschanel to form the highly successful indie�pop duo She & Him in 2008. Over the following decade, Ward split his time between projects, releasing a 2009 album with indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, several high-profile�albums with Deschanel including She & Him�s Columbia-issued 2014 set Classics, and�critically acclaimed solo releases like 2009�s Hold Time, 2012�s A Wasteland Companion,�and 2018�s What a Wonderful Industry. Ward kicked off the next decade with a deeply�atmospheric set called Migration Stories and a Billie Holiday covers album Think of Spring�most recently.

Produced by �The Great� Jeff Bhasker

�Rough Mix� was initially released in September 1977 while The Who were on hiatus and was a collaboration with Small Faces bassist the late Ronnie Lane and features contributions from Who bassist John Entwistle, Eric Clapton, and Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts amongst others.

These limited-edition black vinyl versions have been mastered by long-time Who engineer Jon Astley and cut for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios with a half-speed mastering technique which produces a superior vinyl cut and are packaged in original sleeves with obi strips and certificates of authenticity. �Rough Mix� is presented in a gatefold sleeve.

Deer Tick�s first new body of work since 2017, Emotional Contracts is their most collaborative to date, and sees all four members operating at peak songwriter power. Produced by Dave Fridmann, the 10-song set features guest musicians like Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and background vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews, Vanessa Carlton, Kam Franklin, Angela Miller, and Sheree Smith. Deer Tick�s ATO Records debut adds an even greater vitality to their feverish collection of timeless rock-and-roll.

At long last, the classic Steely Dan catalog is back on vinyl. Led by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan released 7 albums from 1972-1980. The vinyl series continues with Countdown to Ecstasy, the band's sprawling 1973 sophomore LP with standouts such as "Bodhisattva," "Show Biz Kids" and "My Old School." 180-gram vinyl.

Kristian Matsson has never remained in one place for very long. Having spent much of the�last decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth, Matsson has captivated�audiences using, as The New York Times describes, �every inch of his long guitar cord to�roam the stage: darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly and�jittering away...Mr. Matsson is a guitar-slinger rooted in folk, and his songs are troubadour�ballads at heart.�

Now, Matsson returns as The Tallest Man on Earth with Henry St., his sixth studio album�following 2012�s There�s No Leaving Now, full of �vivid imagery, clever turns-of-phrase,�and devastating, world-weary observations� (Under The Radar) and 2015�s Dark Bird Is A�Home, his �most personal record... surreal and dreamlike� (Pitchfork). Henry St. notably�marks the first time he recorded an album in a band setting. �My entire career I�ve been�a DIY person��mostly fueled by the feeling that I didn�t know what I was doing, so I�d just�do everything myself.� But now, longing for the energy that�s only released when creating�together with others, Matsson invited his friends to come and play.

Nick Sanborn (of Sylvan Esso) produced Henry St., which includes contributions from Ryan�Gustafson (of The Dead Tongues) on guitar, lap steel and ukulele, TJ Maiani on drums, CJ�Camerieri (of Bon Iver) on trumpet and French horn, Phil Cook on piano and organ, Rob�Moose (of Bon Iver, yMusic) on strings and Adam Schatz on saxophone.

But Here We Are is the new album from Foo Fighters, and marks the bands return after a year of staggering losses, personal introspection and bittersweet remembrances. A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have endured recently, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, the album opens with �Rescued,� the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.

But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band�s new life. Sonically channeling the naivet� of Foo Fighters� 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.�

GRAMMY Award-winning band Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers � vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka � as well as drummer Danny Wagner. Together, they have performed across multiple continents, sold over 3.5 million records and 1 million tickets worldwide. Their much anticipated third studio album Starcatcher, produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile), is set for release on July 21, 2023 on Lava/Republic Records. The album was recorded at RCA Studios in Nashville.

Last year�s Big Time brought Angel Olsen to a deeper, truer sense�of self than ever before. Borne from the twin stars of grief and love,�the album delivered beautiful sense of certainty, the sure-footed sound�of an artist fully, finally at home with herself. But within that wisdom�comes the realization that there is no finish line, no destination or static�end point to life while you�re living it, and Forever Means collects songs�from the Big Time sessions that hold this common theme. They are, in�Olsen�s words, �in search of something else.�

�I was somewhere traveling,� says Olsen, �stopped for a few days and�wandering the city, and I was thinking �what does �forever� really mean?�What are the things I�m seeking in friendship or love, and how can��forever� be attainable if we�re always changing?�� Sitting with the reality�of that entropy, Olsen realized �maybe the secret to ongoing love is to�embrace change as part of love itself, that forever must have something�to do with playing, looking, constantly searching things out for yourself,�never letting yourself think you�re finished learning or exploring.�

Forever, says Olsen, �remains curious while trying also to be kind�and honest.�

All this packs into the four precious songs that comprise Forever�Means, songs from Olsen�s roads traveled and the ones ahead.��Nothing�s free / like breaking free� Olsen sings, comfortable with the�costs of her clarity, her heart and voice fixed on the present, the future,�the not-yet-known and the beautifully unknowable.

Alison Goldfrapp has set a towering bar for British synth-pop in the 21st century and she�s only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter and producer�s seven albums with Goldfrapp were fuelled by an unfailing modernity and a sixth sense for sounds that were more timeless than any trend. With the release of her debut solo album The Love Invention�an electrifying dance-pop suite�her multi-faceted musicianship reaches a new peak.

The Love Invention marks Alison�s reawakening as a dancefloor priestess, in an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always been at the heart of her musical DNA. �So Hard So Hot� bottles the ephemeral joy of a dancefloor with its anthemic house beat, disco handclaps, and an exquisitely alluring vocal from Alison. The sense of uninhibited liberation courses through album highlights like �In Electric Blue,� a yearning synth-pop confection with a chorus as blissful as love�s first butterflies. On �Never Stop,� she is flooded with the rush of an all-encompassing love over a buoyant, rubberised beat; the sublime synth-pop of �Fever� is an ode to the intoxicating majesty of the dancefloor, with a chorus that explodes as if setting off a glitter cannon.

A River Running to Your Heart represents the fullest realization of Johnson's creative vision to date. It's a sonically diverse effort that largely explores the importance of what it means to be home, both physically and spiritually. Self-produced by Johnson-a first for Fruit Bats-with Jeremy Harris at Panoramic House just north of San Francisco, A River Running to Your Heart is Fruit Bats' tenth full-length release. The album finds the project in the middle of a people-powered climb leading to the biggest shows, loudest accolades, and most enthusiastic new fans in Fruit Bats history! It's hard to pinpoint a single reason for this mid-career resurgence. But after two decades of making music, hard-earned emotional maturity has clearly seeped into Johnson's already inviting songs, resulting in a sound that's connected with audiences like no other previous version of the band.

Ghost follows last year�s international chart-topping opus IMPERA as intended from the start with PHANTOMIME, a diverse and spellbinding sampling of the GRAMMY Award-winning band�s musical DNA. Featuring covers of classics by Television, Genesis, The Stranglers, Iron Maiden and Tina Turner, PHANTOMIME pays tribute to these unlikely bedfellow influences while stamping them all with Ghost�s undeniable sonic signature.

Closing Time foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues, and folk styles that�would come to be associated with Waits. It is on this debut album that Waits performs enduring classics of his career �Ol� 55� (famously covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking �Martha� and the gentle acoustic folk of �I Hope�That I Don�t Fall In Love With You�. Reissued for the first time as a double LP to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landmark debut with newly half speed mastering at Abbey Road Studios.

Lucky For You is Bully's most close-to-the-bone album yet. It's an album that's searing and unmistakably marked by it's creator's experiences, while still retaining the massive sound that Alicia Bognanno has become known for over the last decade. Her fourth album draws from personal pain and the universal struggle that is existing, learning, and moving on-and it's all soundtracked by Bognanno's rock-solid melodic sensibilities and a widescreen sound that's impossible to pin down when it comes to the textures explored. These ten songs are simply the most irresistible Bognanno's put to tape yet, making Lucky For You her greatest triumph to date in a career already packed with them. Work on Lucky For You began last year, when Bognanno brought some in-progress demos to producer J.T. Daly in his Nashville studio to see if they could strike creative kismet. "Authenticity is always on my mind, without even knowing it," she explains while discussing their recording process together. "It was g

Pushing forward with the intensely self-aware truth-telling he�s always brought to his music, Ruston Kelly immersed himself in the making of The Weakness: a blisteringly honest, but profoundly hopeful album that reveals our potential to create strength and beauty from painful experiences. �I hope this music helps people become the hero of their own lives by understanding their own weaknesses, and I hope it helps them to see that tragedy doesn�t have to be the period at the end of the sentence.�

3 LP Packaging: 3 LP 180-gram heavy vinyl edition, 20 new songs.

Christine and the Queens presents his new album PARANO�A, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. Includes �To be honest� and guest appearances from Madonna and 070 Shake.

�I felt a Funeral, in my Brain� is a rare duet in Andrew Bird�s deep discography. He and Phoebe Bridgers join forces to share a haunting reimagination of the Emily Dickinson poem, �I felt a Funeral, in my Brain.� Sparse and spectral, the arrangement pairs chilling, swelling shrieks of strings with the slight strum of guitar, as Bird and Bridgers trade verses and soar in harmony over Dickinson�s words. And paired with a B-Side rarity, "The Twistable, Turnable Man Returns", Andrew's tribute to the Shel Silverstein poem.

Dear Reader,�About a year or two ago, Naomi Yang (of Galaxie 500) reached out to me�after she rediscovered a video that we had made together in 2011, during the�making of Tramp, just before the album�s release. It was for the song Serpents.�The timing was uncanny, approaching the anniversary of Tramp. Thinking�about my time in New York while in the bubble of Los Angeles and my�home. Thinking about how restless I was, and now settled down and stable.�Thinking about how Aaron Dessner took a chance on me after I messaged�him with a fury of demos. He could see through the hiss and crappy vocals�on my GarageBand demos, and that I had something to say. He gave me the�confidence to be loud and to scream my rage and feel founded and justified�in my own pain. He gave me more tools to find catharsis in my work. I have�carried that with me ever since.�

Being on the west coast the last two years, I look back on my community�in New York and am forever grateful. I had so many friends and peers step�up and help me unfold these demos. The album that it became. Doug Keith�and Ben Lord from my original touring band, Logan Cole, Peter Silberman�from The Antlers, Jessica Larrabee from She Keeps Bees, Thomas Bartlett of�Doveman, Rob Moose of yMusic, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Julianna Barwick,�Zach Condon of Beirut, Matt Barrick (of the Walkmen), Clarice Jensen, Ben�Lanz, Bryce Dessner, and Bryan Devendorf (of The National).�

I had almost forgotten about a song titled "This Is Too Right" that didn�t make�it onto the record. It was one of the first guitar �riffs� I had ever written and�Jenn Wasner sang on it with me. A song about not believing how good I had it,�like the other shoe was about to drop. I hope everyone that helped make this�record and supported it, feel the love and admiration that I continue to hold�for all of you. I hope that in sharing this record again, with a new video and�this forgotten track, that new listeners are brought into this album and find�meaning and relevance in it today. All of the musicians on this album helped�me�come to life and perform in ways I never had before.�

May these songs find you well. Sending all my love, Sharon.

The War And Treaty will release their major label debut, The Lover�s Game, via Mercury Nashville on March 10,�2023. The husband-and-wife team of Michael Trotter, Jr. and Tanya Trotter were recently nominated for Duo/Group�of the Year at the 2022 Americana Honors & Awards ceremony. They have amassed a following as eclectic as their�sound � a bluesy yet joyful fusion of Southern soul, gospel, country and rock n� roll. Indie Exclusive Clear LP.

The group's third studio release, Buhloone Mindstate released on September 21, 1993,�saw the group evolve into a new sound as they continued to grow stylistically and musically. There were several moments on the album which proved the band had matured. "I Be Blowin'" was a departure as the track was an instrumental featuring saxophone playing by Maceo Parker. The introspective "I Am I Be" showed de la Soul at their most self-referential to date. "Long Island Wildin'" was a collaboration with Japanese hip hop artists Kan Takagi (Major Force) and trio Scha Dara Parr (SDP). The album's first single, "Breakadawn", used a sample of Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" and Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". de La Soul collaborated for the first time with Gang Starr's Guru on "Patti Dooke", and female MC Shortie No Mas who was prominent on many tracks on the album and showcased particularly on "In The Woods". The album ended with an old school Biz Markie collaboration called "Stone Age".

Moby�s second album on Deutsche Grammophon following 2021�s Reprise. Digging further into his catalog, Moby has reimagined fifteen of some if his most iconic tracks for his new album, Resound NYC. The album features tracks that he wrote between 1994-2010 while living in New York City, and the new versions feature a vibrant, brass-heavy sound.

Everything but the Girl return in 2023 with the new album Fuse, after a 24-year hiatus. Written and produced by Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn over the spring-summer of 2021, Fuse is a modern take on the lustrous electronic soul the band first pioneered in the mid-90s. Thorn's affecting and richly textured voice is once again up front in Watt's glimmering landscape of sub-bass, sharp beats, half-lit synths and empty space, and as before, the result is the sound of a band comfortable with being both sonically contemporary, yet agelessly themselves.

Over the past 20 years, The New Pornographers have proven themselves one of the most excellent bands in indie rock. They've constantly offered new sonic surprises with every album, and Continue as a Guest is their greatest leap to date. The group's ninth album and first for Merge establishes them alongside modern luminaries like Yo La Tengo and Superchunk when it comes to their ability to evolve while still retaining what made them so special in the first place. A dazzling and intriguing collection of songs that are truly built to last, Continue as a Guest finds bandleader A.C. Newman and his compatriots Neko Case, Kathryn Calder, John Collins, Todd Fancey, and Joe Seiders exploring fresh territory and shattering the barriers of their collective comfort zone.

LP x 2, 140 gram black vinyl in custom printed sleeves in a customer printed jacket. de la Soul quickly became one of the most revered, game-changing artists in hip-hop and forever cemented their legacy in the hearts and minds of fans around the world. Despite their rapid success and recognition, de la Soul continued to prove themselves as one of the most original, authentic and creative groups in hip-hop, with the release of their sophomore album, de la Soul is Dead on May 14, 1991. Featuring once again, the production of visionary producer Prince Paul, their second album further fanned the flames; landing on charts around the world, receiving a five-mic rating in The Source and securing Gold status by the RIAA. To this day, the project is considered one of the groups best albums to date, having left fans with several certified classics like, "A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays", "Ring, Ring, Ring (Ha Ha Hey)" and "Keepin' the Faith".

Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Beach House, Spoon, The Flaming Lips) , Temples fourth full-length album takes place in an impossibly utopic island dreamed up by the four band members. With its resplendent collage of psychedelia, krautrock and time-bending dream-pop, Exotico brings that world to life in crystalline detail, all while exploring an entire spectrum of existential themes: impermanence, mortality, our connection with nature and the wild immensity of the mind.

Feist will release Multitudes � the 11-time Juno Award-winning artist�s sixth full-length album and first release since 2017�s critically acclaimed Pleasure � on April 14, 2023 via Interscope Records. Multitudes took shape soon after the birth of Feist�s daughter and the sudden death of her father. Amid meditations on mortality, connection and the frenetic state of the human condition, Multitudes ultimately radiates an ineffable sense of hope. Indie Exclusive Clear LP.

Over the span of two decades, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez has firmly established himself as an artist whose work transcends mere escapism in favor of full-on worldbuilding. Whether it be via his celebrated studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Gonzalez has proven that nothing surpasses his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific time, emotion, or sense of place.

Now with Fantasy, the Platinum selling, GRAMMY nominated artist returns with his most personal album to date. Featuring long-time collaborator Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Joe Berry, M83�s touring keyboardist and sax player, the album was born out of extended jam sessions that lasted nearly a year. The result is an exuberant, live-sounding record where trademark M83 goosebump moments abound.

�Lovage� is defined as �an herb that is said to be a benefit for relieving abdominal pains due to gastrointestinal gas�also touted to reduce flatulence when consumed as a tea.� But when placed in the able hands of sonic mastermind Dan �The Automator� Nakamura, recording under the guise of musical lothario Nathaniel Merriweather, the result is a concept album of �music to make love to your old lady by.� With the help of collaborators such as Mike Patton (vocals), Jennifer Charles (vocals) and Kid Koala (turntables), Merriweather serves as your personal guide to the sensual side of life, painting a satirical, darkly funny portrait of love and sex with left-field hip-hop and instrumentals as only he can do.

Neil Young with Crazy Horse will release World Record on November 18, 2022. It's their second album of new studio recordings within the past 12 months.�

World Record is produced by Rick Rubin and Neil Young, and Neil is accompanied by his longtime band, Crazy Horse (Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Nils Lofgren).

In 1969, an up-and-coming band called Ghost, fronted by Papa Nihil, played at the Whisky A Go-Go to celebrate their first release on Galaxy Records. For the 50th-anniversary, they released Seven Inches of Satanic Panic, a 7� single featuring �Kiss The Go-Goat� and �Mary On A Cross,� which promptly sold out. Now, �Mary On A Cross� has become a viral social media moment and a streaming phenomenon. It�s a moment that calls for a new, never-before pressing of the 7� single on purple vinyl.

Grammy Award-winning band Phoenix returns with their next full length, Alpha Zulu, due out 11/4/2022. This follows their 2020 single "Identical,'' which went #1 at AAA radio, from the Motion Picture "On The Rocks". The project was recorded during the height of the pandemic in Paris, at the iconic Louvre museum.

They've performed on Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, amongst others.

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio de la Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a success. It contains the singles, "Me Myself and I", "The Magic Number, " "Buddy, " and "Eye Know". The album title came from the Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High and Rising". It is listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held it's annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, de la Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and I". Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a "hippie" group, based on their declaration of the "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap).

We�re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the debut album from legendary hip-hop collective The Pharcyde with this exclusive RSD Essential 2-LP set of Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde, pressed on clear with yellow + purple splatter vinyl.

Originally released in 1992 through the iconic Delicious Vinyl, this RIAA Gold-certified album was featured as one of Rolling Stone�s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

This album features the singles �Passin� Me By� �Ya Mama� and �Pack the Pipe�, and is a must-have for any West Coast hip-hop fan.

Alvvays' third album, the nervy joyride that is the compulsively lovable Blue Rev, doesn't simply reassert what's always been great about Alvvays but instead reimagines it. They have, in part and sum, never been better. There are newly aggressive moments here-the gleeful and snarling guitar solo at the heart of opener "Pharmacist," or the explosive cacophony near the middle of "Many Mirrors." And there are some purely beautiful spans, too-the church- organ fantasia of "Fourth Figure," or the blue-skies bridge of "Belinda Says." But the power and magic of Blue Rev stems from Alvvays' ability to bridge ostensible binaries, to fuse elements that seem antithetical in single songs-cynicism and empathy, anger and play, clatter and melody, the soft and the steely. The luminous poser kiss-off of "Velveteen," the lovelorn confusion of "Tile by Tile," the panicked but somehow reassuring rush of "After the Earthquake."In October 2021, when they arrived at a Los Angeles studio with fellow Canadian Shawn Everett, he urged them to forget the careful planning they'd done and just play the stuff, straight to tape. On the second day, they ripped through Blue Rev front-to-back twice, pausing only 15 seconds between songs and only 30 minutes between full album takes. And then, as Everett has done on recent albums by The War on Drugs and Kacey Musgraves, he spent an obsessive amount of time alongside Alvvays filling in the cracks, roughing up the surfaces, and mixing the results. This hybridized approach allowed the band to harness each song's absolute core, then grace it with texture and depth.

Blood Money is etched. It�s scratched out in bold, dark lines, with marimba, trumpet, and bass clarinet and contains some songs of Tom Waits� most memorable melodies. The songs are declarative, sardonic, unforgiving, musical dispatches, from the bottom of the heap. �Blood Money is flesh and bone, earthbound,� said Waits. �The songs are rooted in reality: jealousy, rage, the human meat wheel...They are more car- nal. I like a beautiful song that tells you terrible things. We all like bad news out of a pretty mouth. I like songs to sound as though they�ve been aging in a barrel and distressed.�

The best music reflects a wide-screen view of the world back at us, helping distill the universal into something far more personal. Since forming in Austin in 2004, The Black Angels have become standard-bearers for modern psych-rock that does exactly that, which is one of many reasons why the group�s new album, Wilderness of Mirrors, feels so aptly named.

Indeed, in the five years since the release of the band�s prior album, Death Song, and the two-plus years spent working on Wilderness of Mirrors, pandemics, political tumult and the ongoing devastation of the environment have provided ample fodder for the Black Angels� signature sonic approach. If the group�s members were terrified as they honed new music heading into an election year, they realized they didn�t even know how scary things could still get.

So, they looked inward, focusing on both their ongoing creative and musical development as well as their own struggles amid the external chaos. Wilderness of Mirrors hits even more close to home, as the group recorded solely in the friendly confines of Austin for the first time in more than a decade and entrusted co-production duties to its longtime front-of-house engineer, Brett Orrison.

After a thirty eight year hiatus, the rejuvenated band have just completed putting the finishing touches to the first Altered Images music since the album �Bite� was released in 1983. It�s an upbeat and contemporary sounding album which sounds like a natural progression of the Altered Images journey and sound, all topped with the instantly recognisable vocals of Clare Grogan. The album is produced by former Altered Images band member and acclaimed producer Stephen Lironi and features 12 songs that Clare Grogan has co-written with Stephen, Bernard Butler and Bobby Bluebell. The celebrated Scottish band fronted by singer Clare Grogan started life as a post-punk band, winning Best New Group at the NME Awards before becoming one of the most recognisable pop cover stars of the 1980s with six UK top 40 hits between the years of 1981-1983, including the massive Top 10 singles �Happy Birthday� (#2), �I Could Be Happy� (#7) and �Don�t Talk To Me About Love� (#7), all lifted from their three Top 20/Top 30 albums released in the same time frame (two selling Silver).

Chaos in Bloom, arriving August 12th, 2022 via Warner Records. Marking the first album of their career to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik, the record finds the band at the top of their game and continuing to constantly evolve just as they have for nearly four decades together. Consisting of 10 tracks, Chaos in Bloom is an album of biting sarcasm, stadium-ready choruses, and the type of spear-sharp songwriting that�s led them to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.

While Chaos in Bloom isn�t necessarily an album borne out by the pandemic, many of the tracks reflect on all of the things in daily life that became amplified while everyone was isolated from one another and sequestered at home. �Chaos in Bloom reminded us how special this whole thing is and to cherish the relationships that we have together,� says Rzeznik about the album. �Where we�ve been, and where we�re going.� Oscillating from personal reflections on the state of the world to societal commentaries, the songs on the album grapple with observations about our dystopian modernity while searching for optimism and pushing for a more empathetic world. �I�ve been trying to have a relationship with the bigger picture,� adds bassist and songwriter Robby Takac, �and refining happiness and what it means from that perspective.�

To record the album, Rzeznik and Takac retreated to Dreamland Studios just outside Woodstock, New York during the pandemic. An environment as remote as it is rich with historic rock music roots, the location proved to be the perfect setting for clearing the noise and creating such a record, which carries a true live quality that the band captured by blending vintage instruments and gear with new-age recording processes and techniques.

From �Taxman� to �Tomorrow Never Knows,� The Beatles� REVOLVER has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell, and sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes with audio brought forth in stunning clarity with the help of cutting-edge technology developed by the award-winning sound team at Peter Jackson�s WingNutFilms Productions Ltd.� Now available on 180g vinyl.

Limited 180gm metallic gold colored vinyl LP pressing. 20th Anniversary Edition. "Alice" is the 14th studio album by Tom Waits, originally released in 2002. The album contains most songs written for the play Alice. The adaptation was directed by Robert Wilson, who Waits had previously worked with on the play The Black Rider, and originally set up at the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg in 1992. The play has since been performed in various theatres around the world.

Introducing QUANDO L'AMORE E SENSUALITA by Ennio Morricone, the fourth release in the MORRICONE SEGRETO series. The soundtrack is one of the undiscovered gems in Morricone's catalog. Newly remastered, this album features eleven previously unreleased tracks and marks the 50th-anniversary of the film's release. With its tonal experiments and compositional complexity, it shows the most obscure, dark-tinged, and psychedelic side of the Maestro and his unbridled creativity.

�Lovage� is defined as �an herb that is said to be a benefit for relieving abdominal pains due to gastrointestinal gas�also touted to reduce flatulence when consumed as a tea.� But when placed in the able hands of sonic mastermind Dan �The Automator� Nakamura, recording under the guise of musical lothario Nathaniel Merriweather, the result is a concept album of �music to make love to your old lady by.�

This album was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will Of The People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.

Over the course of the last two decades, Of Montreal's creative force, Kevin Barnes, has been wowing fans with their vast catalog of endlessly fascinating pop and mesmerizing live shows. Barnes' songwriting and production aesthetic has since become iconic in the industry and has garnered massive critical acclaim in publications such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, NPR, and Pitchfork, who described the band's album, Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? as "ceaselessly fascinating and inexhaustibly replayable," as well as ranking it as the #5 album of the year. Barnes' influence on pop music is undeniable, with multiple late night TV appearances, including The Late Show With David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, as well as brilliant collaborations with the likes of Solange, Janelle Mon�e, Jon Brion, and others. The band has also performed across the globe, with festival appearances at Coachella, Sasquatch!, Pitchfork Music Festival and others, as well as hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. On Of Montreal's latest album, Freewave Lucifer f ck f ck f ck, Barnes continues to push the boundaries of what pop music can be. On songs like "Marijuana's A Working Woman," Barnes revisits themes of psychedelia using pulsating synths over their instantly recognizable bass playing. The album also touches on aspects of gender fluidity and is a fascinating look at what makes Barnes one of the most prolific and creative songwriters making music today. "An astonishingly good late-period record from Of Montreal that's as uncomfortably savage in it's depiction of breakup psychology as it is relentlessly catchy." -Pitchfork (8.7 Best New Music - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?)"The thesaurus-loving psychedelic chameleons return with what might be the glammiest groove since the late Marc Bolan shimmied on to the next dimension." -Rolling Stone on Aureate Gloom"[Lousy With Sylvianbriar] is one of the most memorable, lasting, and relatable albums in Of Montreal's extensive catalog, and easily one of the best." -AllMusic"... every year or so Of Montreal is going to release a new full-length of mind-bending glam-punk decadence that sort of blows everything else away." -Paste

"Brighter days are up ahead," declares Dwight Yoakam on the title track of his new album Brighter Days (Via Records/Thirty Tigers), his first release of new original material in nine years. Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as two seemingly disparate covers of �Keep On The Sunny Side� by the Carter Family and �Bound Away� by Cake, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam. The infectious lead single �I Don�t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom),� was written by Yoakam specifically for a collaboration with self-proclaimed Dwight Yoakam superfan, Post Malone. At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, blending a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock and roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Dwight Yoakam �cool� that has separated the two-time Grammy winner from his country contemporaries since the start of his legendary career. As usual, Yoakam�s lyrics throughout the album are both deceivingly effortless and poignant. Brighter Days was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge and is slated for release Nov 15, 2024.

Every era of State Champs exists within this record.�

It�s dangerous to put Illiterate Light in a box, especially with the release of their new album, Arches. Are they a guitar-driven indie rock duo? Kaleidoscopic neo-psychedelia? Synth-kissed, harmony-laden folk? What does one do with an album beginning with �fake tits and diet coke,� then pivoting to train derailments in rural Ohio and never-ending black holes? These prolific farmers-turned-rockers have captured the energy of their live shows�fans crowd-surfing, moshing, crying, and crooning�and infused it into their latest release.

�We�ve always been shape shifters, moving between heavy, dark distortion and gentle sweet fingerpicking, writing aggressive songs, introspective songs, and love songs, exploding and embracing,� reflects singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman. �Smashing it all together used to feel strange, but now there's a glue between everything we do. Our fans get it. They care less about genre. All they care about is feeling. And that�s all we care about. Are you alive or not?�
Illiterate Light�s third album, Arches, is not a passageway but an arrival. �We�re no longer striving to define a sound,� said drummer Jake Cochran. �We�re leaning into sides of ourselves that have felt off-limits, sticking to what feels right rather than concerning ourselves with comparison.� Out November 1 via Thirty Tigers, the record is bursting with thunderous anthems, biting lyrics, and lush harmonies.

The band originated in the Shenandoah Valley in 2015 when multi-instrumentalists Gorman and Cochran began playing music together while working on an organic farm. Eventually, they left the farm to focus on music, adopting the moniker Illiterate Light from a Wilco lyric. After several years of non-stop touring, they signed with Atlantic Records and released their eponymous full-length debut in late 2019. Two years later, they signed with Thirty Tigers and, in 2023, issued their critically acclaimed LP, Sunburned. Shortly after, they released two additional EPs, making Arches their fourth release in two years.
Arches was recorded in two very different locations: small-town Appalachia at Gorman�s home studio and Hollywood, CA at Sunset Sound with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Beck, The Killers). �We wanted the best of both worlds,� says Gorman. �We spent several days with Joe at Sunset. To record vocals in the same live room as so many of my heroes�Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Dylan�was unreal. I knew I was in a holy place.� The LA session was paired with sessions in Virginia, where Gorman and Cochran co-produced the bulk of the record with longtime collaborator Danny Gibney. In their hometown, they experimented with soaring instrumental journeys and had friends sit in on the sessions to keep things lively.

�Having our community stop by the sessions kept us on our toes�we haven�t been able to do that in the past. It helped connect us to the feeling of our live show,� recalls Cochran. Illiterate Light�s live performances, described by the Washington Post as �massive,� feature Gorman on one foot, hammering bass on a foot-pedal synth, shredding big guitar riffs, and spitting out song after song while Cochran matches Gorman harmony for harmony, dancing with his standing drum kit, teetering on the edge of the stage only to dive head first into his next solo.

Arches is the closest you can get to their live show, with heavier songs like �I Ride Alone� and �Bloodlines� encapsulating the best of the writhing, uninhibited front-row experience. The keystone of the album, �Norfolk Southern,� crashes in with Gorman belting, �Here comes the Norfolk Southern / It's off the tracks / and heading for you,� with Cochran chanting, �break, break, break, break� to the ghost of the train that derailed in 2023 in East Palestine, Ohio, releasing 10,000 gallons of hazardous materials into the atmosphere. The song also serves as a metaphor for Gorman�s own turbulent feelings. �I certainly wanted to shine a light on the environmental catastrophe. But strangely, some days I feel just like that Norfolk Southern, barreling out of control at warp speed.�
Gorman lets the lyrics take control. Showing up relentlessly, day after day, to his home studio dubbed �The Bookhouse� (a tribute to David Lynch's Twin Peaks), he can�t predict what will arise. For the album's first track, �Payphone,� the opening lyrics were a surprise to Gorman: �Fake tits and diet coke / Full of undefeated hope / You are the only one I trust.� The jangly and groovy album opener is a pep talk between a woman named Big Red and her man as he faces crippling self-doubt and is self-medicating. She comforts him during a time of despair on a phone call that continues to drop.

Another relationship study, �Montauk,� is a cold beachside dance under the full moon inspired by the central question in Gorman�s favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. �Do we go for it again�even though we're destined to fail?� he asks. �For me, the answer is a resounding yes.�
�All the Stars Are Burning Out� continues in that reflective vein. �It�s a throwback song, about getting high, going for a drive, dreaming up your future. You�re looking at that wide open black sky of bright stars, and they�re so beautiful and inspiring, and they make you want to follow your dreams. And yet all those stars eventually burn out. It�s a song about going for it even though life is impermanent and full of change,� Gorman said.

The saying goes, �arches never sleep.� Designed to distribute weight evenly, arches naturally rebalance as the structure around them shifts over time. Illiterate Light�s Arches exists within this metaphor in many ways. The album marks a period of artistic strength, a balancing act of identity and possibility. To listen to Arches is to plant yourself within the arch, to stand in the threshold between two worlds and gaze into Gorman and Cochran�s constant motion forward.

We all had a great time singing about the things that mama taught us. -Duane Allen, Richard Sterban, William Lee Golden, Ben James The Oak Ridge Boys

After seven years, Japandroids have returned with Fate and Alcohol, their fourth and final full-length. Written in part while the Vancouver duo-guitarist-vocalist Brian King and drummer-vocalist David Prowse-were touring behind their 2017 ANTI- debut, Near to the Wild Heart of Life, the album is at once a return to form and a thrilling step forward, testament to the sort of chemistry that they've honed over the course of 18 years and hundreds of shows side-by-side. Their aim was simply to write songs that they'd enjoy playing live, without sacrificing any of the nuance or ambition that marked their previous effort. Nowhere on this record is that more deeply felt than lead single "Chicago," a song whose sheer momentum feels inevitable and true-from the inherent romance of it's opening chords to the series of snare-led explosions that see it through. Like the rest of Fate and Alcohol, it was recorded in Vancouver with longtime collaborator Jesse Gander, who also engineered 2009's Post-Nothing and 2012's Celebration Rock. "The very first demo we have of "Chicago" was recorded in our jam space on February 4th, 2020," King says, "and if you listen to that, it just sounds like a rough version of what you hear on the record. But it's all there. That, in some ways, is the most ideal circumstance for a band like us: just having something that really rips in your jam space, something that feels good, something that you're excited about."

Drawn from two sessions recorded in December 1969 and December 1970, and not first released until 1995, Kofi found Donald Byrd in the early stages of his transformation from top-notch hard bop trumpeter to fusion pioneer. Byrd had already begun to move away from a pure hard bop sound with his album Fancy Free in the Spring of 1969, and the two Kofi sessions straddled the recording of his adventurous fusion album Electric Byrd. The first Kofi session subtly explored a new realm of sounds on Byrd�s originals �Kofi� and �Fufu� with producer Duke Pearson�s electric piano shimmering underneath textured arrangements featuring Lew Tabackin on flute and tenor saxophone, Frank Foster on tenor saxophone, William Campbell on trombone, Ron Carter on acoustic bass, Bob Cranshaw on electric bass, and Airto Moreira on drums. The following 1970 session produced two more vibey Byrd originals��Perpetual Love� and �Elmina��adding Wally Richardson on guitar and Mickey Roker on drums with Moreira playing percussion along with Dom Um Rom�o.

Hippo Campus' singer Jake Luppen had been listening to the band's work as they rolled around the country, trying to tease out how much work remained. All of it, he soon decided. Obfuscated by the need to sound sophisticated and the overwhelming ambition to make the best Hippo Campus LP ever, a deeper and more profound record that reflected how their lives were changing. But Luppen and all of Hippo Campus decided they didn't actually like what they were making.So they called an audible. They were going to start over. And three months later, the four-member core of Hippo Campus rendezvoused with longtime collaborator Caleb Wright and producer Brad Cook at Sonic Ranch, a playground-like studio complex on the Texas border. They gave themselves 10 days to cut the tracks they liked best, to make something to which they could commit at last. Less than two weeks later, they emerged with what they'd given themselves half a decade to make-Flood, or the best album Hippo Campus has ever made. The sentiments on Flood are raw, real, and unguarded, a testament to Hippo Campus dropping preconceptions of how they had to sound after so many failed attempts to re-record these songs. They wiped the slate clean, starting over without beliefs about what Hippo Campus or this record needed to be. Still, sophistication lurks in subtle key and tempo changes, in the almost innate shifts that a band of longtime best friends can tap after so much time spent helping to shape one another's musical language. Flood doesn't need to tell you it's important or interesting; it simply is, just by virtue of how it's written, built, and rendered, a map of what it's like to feel everything at once. This rebirth is accompanied by a crucial career shift for Hippo Campus, too, as they exit the traditional label system to issue LP4 via Psychic Hotline, a truly independent imprint run by peers and pals. If you're working to let go of expectations, why not jettison them all? There's a bravery to that, and you can hear it's revivifying spirit in every second of LP4.Early into the endlessly propulsive "Paranoid," where stunted acoustic strums undergird an inescapable jangle, Luppen asks an existential question: "Is there something waiting out there for us at the finish line?" For the next three minutes, the band cycles with him through his woes, from the title's overwhelming worry to notions of dislocation and loneliness. (Also, is there any other refrain ever that manages to make the phrase "so god-damned fucking" sound so catchy and natural?) But in the final verse, with his voice breaking through a scrim of distortion, he stumbles upon a new credo: "Wait, I wanna give this life all that I have in me." That is precisely what Hippo Campus have done with Flood after realizing it doesn't take a lifetime-or, well, five years-to do just that.

Suki Waterhouse�s music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences, and emotions stitched together by honeyed vocal delivery, bright-eyed melodies, and evocative storytelling. It doubles as a mirror image of her life as a consummate creative, artist, actress, model, and mother, yet it also breaks the glass to unveil raw truth. She leans on an ever-evolving sonic palette to convey what she�s feeling�whether it be folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie, or handcrafted otherworldly pop. You�ll hear Suki�s longing in a swooning chorus, fearlessness in a crunchy chord, elation in a danceable waltz, and wonder in a soft coo befitting of a lullaby.

Between headlining shows and touring with Father John Misty, �Good Looking� surged online, generating nearly a billion streams, going RIAA platinum, and paving the way for theMilk Teeth EP.� Simultaneously, she absorbed inspiration from a season of change earmarked by unforgettable moments a la gracing the stage of Lollapalooza 2023, performing on multiple continents, becoming a mom, and closing out the Gobi Tent at Coachella in 2024.

�As always in my songs, the themes are all there� transcendence, positivity and global unity through music,� says Jesse Malin. �This is what I love to do, and I�m going to do everything I can to keep doing it.� Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin is a tribute and benefit album, with all proceeds to Jesse Malin�s Sweet Relief artist fund. �This record is a dynamite and long-overdue awareness project, non-stop star time in vigorously personal twists on behalf of a great rock & roll songbook,� writes longtime supporter, David Fricke. In May 2023, Jesse Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Last December, Malin told Rolling Stone, �I have a lot of anxiety and insomnia. Your mind goes into some dark places. But I just have to keep a positive outlook and believe.� He is now undergoing a strict daily regimen with physical therapy and stem-cell treatments. "I am getting some strength back in my legs, but it moves a lot slower than I would like. I don�t want to portray it like I'm ready to do the James Brown splits onstage. I definitely have a long way to go, but I'm blessed and so grateful for the amazing fans and friends that I have.� Fricke adds, �Jesse Malin knows about scars � from his youth, observation and more. They all carry tales, and he's not done telling them. Silver Patron Saints is the gang back at the bar, coming to the stage to toast the composer and his story so far.� Long a contributor to other people�s causes, Malin is grateful to all the musicians who have rallied around him. Housed in a 3-page book gatefold jacket, the triple-vinyl set designed by Sam Harris features photos by Vivian Wang and liner notes by David Fricke. The set is available on translucent red/yellow/green vinyl and black vinyl via Glassnote Records.

Multi-platinum indie pop artist Dayglow reveals his new self-titled project and celebrates the official announcement by dropping his latest single �Cocoon.� DAYGLOW embodies exactly who Sloan Struble is as an artist and creative and acts as a proper introduction into the bright and colorful Dayglow world. The 10-track debut record was solely written, performed, recorded, produced, and mixed by Struble himself in his Malibu home studio. He opens up and shares, �When I was 18 years old, I made my mixtape Fuzzybrain. I was a pretty introverted kid from a reasonably small town in Texas, so I didn�t expect much to happen �commercially� for the record�I just made it for my own enjoyment, really. As a fan of the 2010�s indie music scene (MGMT, The Strokes, Phoenix, Passion Pit, etc.), I wanted to see what kind of album I could make completely alone in my bedroom. So, out of the quest to make something I loved, Dayglow was born. It was a clear reflection of myself at that time. It was pure, naive, goofy, guitar-driven indie-pop made to be played live by a 5-piece band (that I didn�t even have yet).�
