2020 release from this metal band spawned in the mile-high city of Denver Colorado, the first city to legalize marijuana. The band was nominated for 'Best Metal Band' at the 303 Magazine Awards. Album closer is a cover of UK trip-hop pioneers Portishead's 'Threads'.

The Kills have compiled an extraordinary career spanning b-sides and rarities album titled,�appropriately, Little Bastards. The songs date back from the band�s first 7-inch singles in 2002 through to 2009. All of the material has been newly remastered for release on 2 x LP, CD & Digital and marks the first ever vinyl pressing for some of these tracks.

First ignited over trans-Atlantic mixtapes shared between two kindred spirits at the turn�of the Millennium, the past two decades have seen The Kills master a savage balance, unleashing artful detonation and subtle vocal and guitar violence. That�s five albums and�four EPs where Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince reimagined the possibilities of modern duality - alchemizing garage rock, punk, and blues into smoke clouds, psychic carnage, and a smoldering nocturnal slink into a northwest passage between Outkast and Suicide. Their last album, Ash & Ice (2016), was universally lauded, and their most recent release - a 2018 cover of Saul Williams� �List Of Demands� b/w Peter Tosh�s �Stepping Razor� � marked 15 years since their first album as The Kills, 2003�s Keep On Your Mean Side. As performers, their chemistry is unmatched and unfettered; magnetic and enthralling whether drenched in guitar feedback or delivering a piano-led torch song under a single spotlight. The Kills have transcended whatever genres first claimed them and inhabit an entirely unique place in music culture. They are themselves. Inimitable and unparalleled, Little Bastards is a musical refresher manifest as a shot of pure adrenaline. Enjoy the memories. Long may they blaze.

Originally released in 1994, �No Need to Argue�, the second studio album by Irish alternative rock band The Cranberries, was the band�s highest-selling album, shifting over 17 million copies worldwide and contains the band�s most successful single �Zombie�. The expanded 180g gatefold 2LP features the remastered album plus three B-Sides, �Yesterday�s Gone�, and the band�s cover of the Carpenters �(They Long To Be) Close to You�. This 2LP also includes a 5,000-word sleeve note on the history of the album written by the band�s archivist Eoin Devereux who wrote the sleeve note to the reissue of their debut album.

Named for the city that launched the original Alice Cooper group on the road to success, �Detroit Stories� follows last year�s �Breadcrumbs� EP as a modern-day homage to the toughest and craziest Rock n Roll scene there ever was.

In 1970, fledgling producer Bob Ezrin walked into a farmhouse on the outskirts of Detroit to work with the Alice Cooper band. Abandoning flower power Los Angeles, because they were the opposite of the hippie peace and love ideal, Alice had brought his decidedly darker gang back to his birthplace to the legendary rock scene that gave birth to hard rock, garage rock, soul, funk, punk...and more.

Ezrin drilled the band for 10 hours a day to define their signature sound. �Whenever they nailed a song, the inmates at the hospital for the criminally insane across the road cheered and thus the classic Alice Cooper sound was born.

�Los Angeles had its sound with The Doors, Love and Buffalo Springfield,� says Alice Cooper, �San Francisco had the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. New York had The Rascals and The Velvet Underground. But Detroit was the birthplace of angry hard rock. After not fitting in anywhere in the US (musically or image wise) Detroit was the only place that recognized the Alice Cooper guitar driven, hard rock sound and our crazy stage show. Detroit was a haven for the outcasts. And when they found out I was born in East Detroit... we were home.�

50 years later Alice and Ezrin gathered some legendary Detroit musicians in a Detroit studio to record Detroit Stories, Alice Cooper�s new album that celebrates that spirit for a new era.� If 2019�s �Breadcrumbs� EP laid down the trail to the city, Detroit Stories drives like a muscle car right down Woodward Ave.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I�m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. � Lana Del Rey�.The recording includes 14 poems performed by Lana Del Rey accompanied by music from Grammy Award-Winning songwriter/producer Jack Antonoff.

�Ace Of Spades��the title track of Mot�rhead�s 1980 iconic, game changing album isn�t just one of the greatest hard rock songs ever written�it has truly become a lifestyle anthem for several generations of rockers, metalheads, punks, bikers, athletes, rebels, outcasts, and freethinkers all around the world. Few songs in modern history can instantly ignite the adrenaline of music fans the way the song�s opening dirty bass riff, and drum roll can. From zero to 100 mph in a matter of seconds. That speaker-destroying opening riff is unstoppable. And the song altered the course of hard rock�forever.

Upon its release in 1980, the Ace Of Spades album was nothing short of a gamechanger for all forms of hard rock. Like lightning in a bottle, it perfectly captured everything great about hard rock, heavy metal, and punk, amped it all up to 11, and came racing out of the gates at what felt like a million miles an hour. Pushing at every musical boundary, nothing was harder, nothing was faster, and certainly nothing was louder.

The Ace Of Spades album; brand new half speed master created from the original tapes. Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl as a triple album in a 20 page bookpack and deluxe 2CD mediabook. Includes a live album of a newly unearthed, previously unreleased concert from the Ace Up Your Sleeve tour.

Giallo is the fourth in a series of five double vinyl releases that bring together some of Ennio Morricone's greatest soundtrack music. Each collection centres on a different movie genre, together they allow the listener to rediscover the unmatched genius of the greatest movie composer of all time. The Maestro. This collection was announced before Ennio Morricone passed away on July 6, 2020. We'll continue to release the series to honour this great composer. When we think of 1960's Italian pulp cinema, the spaghetti western is the genre that comes to mind. However, Italy was responsible for another classic cinematic exploitation movement around the same time, one that is equally as compelling, but less widely recognised. Giallo. Giallo, meaning 'yellow', is the Italian term for crime fiction, it was named after the bright yellow colours of early pulp fiction paperbacks. Film audiences adopted it as the name for a peculiarly Italian sub-genre of thriller cinema that had it's heyday in the 1970's - just as the Spaghetti Western movement was waning. The Giallo can be difficult to define, but essentially it is an Italian crime film that draws from a pool of common themes: stylized murders, amateur sleuths, sleazy glamour, psychological crimes, enigmatic titles and all these themes are underpinned by creepily atmospheric Ennio Morricone music scores. Starting 70 years ago as an arranger for the piece Mamma Bianca, Ennio Morricone is the emperor of scores and soundtracks. Morricone has always been a huge influence for the likes of Hans Zimmer, Danger Mouse, Muse, Metallica and many more musicians. He was one of the most successful composers of all-time, selling over 70 million records and winning dozens of awards. Giallo is available as a limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on 'giallo and black marbled' (clear, yellow and black mixed) vinyl. The package includes a 4-page insert with liner notes written by Claudio Fuiano. The gatefold sleeve contains a silver foil spot varnish on theoutside and images of iconic movie posters on the inside.

The genesis of the film lay with actress Winona Ryder, who wished to make amends with director Francis Ford Coppola after her late withdrawal from The Godfather Part III. She brought him a script written by James V. Hart, which provided an adaptation of the famous 1897 novel Dracula by Irish author Bram Stoker. Coppola decided that he wanted a composer with classical eastern European sensibilities. After listening to a few pieces from fellow Pole Wojciech Kilar, Coppola was convinced that he had found his man. He called him and offered the assignment, which Kilar gladly accepted as he was very impressed with Coppola's cinematic success. For his soundscape, Kilar chose to utilize traditional leitmotifs. Besides it features ''Love Song For A Vampire'' by Annie Lennox (Eurythmics).

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.�

�More than anything, I wanted to make an album that was generous, that was useful,� says Ben Folds. �I want you to finish this record with something you didn�t have when you started.� Indeed, Folds� masterful new collection, What Matters Most, isn�t so much a statement as it is an offering, an open hand reaching out to all those wounded and bewildered by a world that seems to make less and less sense every day. Recorded in East Nashville with co-producer Joe Pisapia, the album marks Folds� first new studio release in eight years, and it�s a bold, timely, cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity and perspective. The songs are bittersweet here, hilarious at times, but often laced with a quiet sense of longing and dread: a text message goes unanswered; an old classmate descends into the dark depths of internet conspiracies; a relationship unravels in the middle of a lake. And yet, taken as a whole, the result is an undeniably joyful record that refuses to succumb to the weight of the world around it, an ecstatic reminder of all the beauty and promise hiding in plain sight for anyone willing (and present enough) to recognize their moments as they arrive.

Avenged Sevenfold�s new album, Life Is But A Dream is a timeless work of art that blurs genres. Best served as a whole and consumed en masse to truly appreciate its musical breadth and sonic depth, it marks their boldest statement and most revolutionary work to date. Written and recorded over the span of 4 years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and Avenged Sevenfold in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, PA. Inspired by Albert Camus� The Stranger, the album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming. Immerse into this experience�

Rancid - the legendary Bay Area punk rockers are back with their 10th studio album, Tomorrow Never Comes on Epitaph Records. Emerging from the blue-collar swamps of Berkeley, California, Rancid has now been a living, breathing punk rock band for over a quarter century.�

Back in 1991, after the demise of their much beloved and still influential first band, Operation Ivy, founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) decided to do the impossible � start an even better band. Thus, Rancid. Signing with Epitaph Records, the band released their first album, �Rancid,� in 1993. Shortly thereafter, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined the band and they went on to release incredible records from �Let�s Go.� (1994) to their classic - platinum selling ��And Out Come The Wolves.� (1995). Drummer Branden Steineckert joined the band in 2003, cementing the line-up that rocks out till this day.

Seeing Rancid live is a life changing experience and steady touring is in the plan for 2023, kicking off in Las Vegas at the legendary Punk Rock Bowling Festival in late May - the band will hit Europe in June and the rest of the world soon after.�

Through it all, Rancid has remained fiercely independent, never losing their loyalty to community or each other. Their music confronts political and social issues, while balancing personal tales of love, loss, and heartbreak with attitude. Rancid gives their listeners a community where everyone can belong. By carrying on the traditions and spirit of the original punk rock bands that came before, Rancid has become a legend and inspiration to punk bands that have come after. They are the living embodiment of East Bay punk. And if you don�t know all this by now -- you�re not playing their music loud enough!

A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age -- and carry a certain amount of scars.

�There is something about boundaries on this record,� Isbell says. �As you mature, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you�re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.�

Weathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love, about change, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell�s fearsome 400 Unit, who�ve earned a place in the rock �n� roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers.

They make a big noise, as Isbell puts it, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit, he can be a guitar hero when he wants, and a conductor when he wants, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound.

A collection of unreleased songs from Kenny Rogers' archives that tells the story of the love, life, loss and faith between Kenny and his wife, Wanda, and their two children. The album features the long sought after "Goodbye" written by Lionel Richie, interpretations of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and "I Wish It Would Rain" originally recorded by The Temptations, and "Tell Me That You Love Me" a lost duet between Kenny and Dolly Parton.

Jenny Lewis� fifth solo album, Joy�All arrives June 9th. Joy�All finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town � and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records. While Joy�All pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration � from classic soul to �90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records � the album�s rich, intimate and warm live sound is the hallmark of eight-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb. Recorded at Nashville�s historic RCA Studio A, Joy�All includes new single �Psychos� and the previously released single �Puppy and a Truck.�

Little Broken Hearts [Deluxe Edition 3 LP] - Norah Jones defied expectations with her 5th studio album Little Broken Hearts, a striking collaboration with Danger Mouse that arrived a decade after her debut Come Away With Me, prompting SPIN to call it "the 2nd essential record of Norah Jones' career." Deluxe Edition features an expanded 31-track set curated by Jones with rare bonus tracks, alternate versions, remixes, and a previously unreleased live version of the album recorded for Austin City Limits in 2012.

Niall Horan's `The Show' - his third solo album and first since 2020's chart-topping `Heartbreak Weather' - will be released on June 9, 2023. Preceded by its lead single "Heaven," the album matches the pure emotion of his globally beloved past work with a powerful new element of soul-searching reflection. Each vinyl copy of `The Show' includes a randomly selected print of a letter handwritten by Niall about a song from the album.

There are no strangers at a Drew Holcomb show. For the better part of two decades, the award-winning songwriter has brought his audience together night after night, turning his shows into celebrations of community, collaboration, and contemporary American roots music. Strangers No More, the eighth album from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, celebrates that sense of togetherness. Produced by Cason Cooley, it expands the band's mix of timeless songwriting, modern-day Laurel Canyon folk, amplified Americana, and heartland rock & roll.

As Milky Chance prepare to share the idiosyncratic and inventive alt-pop songs that populate their new album Living In A Haze, they proudly boast over 10 million monthly Spotify listeners, an enviable touring resume (including stops at Coachella and Lollapalooza), and an upcoming schedule of world-trotting 2023 dates featuring the biggest shows of their career. Over the past decade, they've proven themselves to be, in their own low-key way, one of the biggest bands in the world. Their runaway hit debut "Stolen Dance" - which recently surpassed over 1 billion streams on Spotify - gifted Rehbein and Dausch with a platform far beyond what the duo could have imagined. They capitalized on that momentum with their 2014 debut Sadnecessary, which broke them as a global streaming and touring act, and followed that up with 2017's Blossom and 2019's Mind The Moon, which found them taking advantage of new resources to collaborate with heroes like Jack Johnson and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. On their independent debut Living In A Haze, Milky Chance thrive on writing the tightest, most groove-forward alt-pop songs imaginable - and then going back and distorting each sound into it's wildest iteration. Recorded at Jazzanova Recording Studios in Berlin with production help from DECCO, Jonas Holle, Tobias Kuhn, and Dennis Neuer as well as guest appearances from Fatoumata Diawara and Charlotte Cardin, Living In A Haze applies the band's endless musical curiosity to the propulsive logic of the best club music while delivering masterful songcraft. There are sublime moments throughout: Album opener and lead single "Living In A Haze" is an economical haymaker of a track that unfolds with an enigmatic logic, going from elegiac triplet guitar figure to a tight, post-Strokes rhythmic feel that provides the ideal musical metaphor to accompany Rehbein's dreamy delivery. Afrobeat rhythms power both "Flicker In The Dark" and "Feeling For You" - on the first providing a canvas on which to liberally splatter earthy acoustic textures and a cartoonishly colorful guitar solo, on the second lending a swiveling counterpoint to a narcotized vocal. And on "History Of Yesterday," Milky Chance marry a UKG shuffle with sunny atmospherics and cascades of reverberating piano to propel the band's breeziest chorus to date. Living In A Haze vibrates with possibility and passion - it's a thrilling juncture for band as they look forward to a heavy touring schedule in 2023 and beyond.

Regular Jacket with Matte Varnish, Heavyweight 180g Clear Vinyl.. There is no Neil Frances. OK, sort of. Neil Frances is not a solo artist, it's the name of a duo comprised of Sydney-born Jordan Feller and Southern California native Marc Gilfry. To help you remember that Neil Frances is not a person, the duo has named it's debut LP There Is no Neil Frances. Neil Frances' signature sound is beat-driven pop infused with a more organic warmth than most modern music. Putting special emphasis on their enthralling live sets-the group quickly developed a reputation as a must-see stage artist opening for SG Lewis, Jungle, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The band explains, "Our new album is about self-realization and becoming the person that you dream of. The concept is that we are insects on earth who ascend into outer space to become divas at a galactic ball." The album features both GRAE and Benny Sings.

Youth Lagoon - the beloved project of Trevor Powers - returns with the announcement of Heaven Is a Junkyard, his first new album in eight years, out June 9th on Fat Possum, and a new single/video, " Idaho Alien." With whispers of country, Heaven Is a Junkyard is mutant Americana in a world of love, drugs, storytelling, and miracles-held together by Powers' voice and an upright piano. In Powers' own words, " Heaven Is a Junkyard is about all of us. It's stories of brothers leaving for war, drunk fathers learning to hug, mothers falling in love, neighbors stealing mail, cowboys doing drugs, friends skipping school, me crying in the bathtub, dogs catching rabbits, and children playing in tall grass."

Arlo Parks sophomore album, My Soft Machine, is a deeply personal body of work; a narration of Parks' experiences as she navigates her 20's and the growth intertwined. It follows her highly-praised debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which received two GRAMMY nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Honda Mercury Prize, won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award, was nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards and reached the top 3 on the UK Album Charts. Parks shares about how the new album and album title came to fruition: "The world/our view of it is peppered by the biggest things we experience - our traumas, upbringing, vulnerabilities almost like visual snow. This record is life through my lens, through my body - the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self-sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity- what it's like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called The Souvenir, it's an A24 semi-autobiographical film with Tilda Swinton - it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man then being drawn into his addiction - in an early scene he's explaining why people watch films - 'we don't want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.' So, there we have it... My Soft Machine." The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles throughout 2021/2022. Arlo worked alongside producers including Paul Epworth, Ariel Rechtshaid, Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Frank Ocean-collaborator Buddy Ross, and Carter Lang (SZA), whilst also self-producing a run of material on the album. The record features a guest vocal from musician and friend, Phoebe Bridgers.

Brooklyn bedroom-pop trailblazers Beach Fossils' new album Bunny is a triumphant return for one of the 2010s most influential NYC bands. Bunny is a precise blend of the luscious dream-pop atmospheres they notoriously honed on their earliest projects, the post-punk vigor expressed on Clash The Truth, and the warm sophisticated songwriting of Somersault. Composer Dustin Payseur peppers the album equally�with descriptions of the joy of fatherhood and the existential pleasure of smoking cigarettes out of a car window�with friends --�Bunny features Beach Fossils' most personal lyrics to-date.

Colin McCann didn�t pick up a guitar for nearly ten years. The�Northern-California-based songwriter, previously performing�under Long Dog Bird, had been creating music with longtime�friend and collaborator Brian Gossman for much of their adult�lives with early-00s Baltimore-based band Wilderness. So what�would cause such a stagnant period? And how could McCann�find his way back to the joy that music had once so easily�conjured? The answer was to go back to the very beginning,�where the kinetic forces that urged McCann to make music in�the first place could emerge once again. But first, he had to�make space in his internal world; a kind of silence where he�could hear the exhale of his past, and the blossoming of a new�song.�

That blossoming would soon become the first songs for�McCann�s latest project Vulture Feather. The band�s debut�album�Liminal Fields exists on an intangible plane: a crack in�the concrete, a gauze between worlds. For as long as McCann�can recall, he�s been using music as a vehicle to try and�connect with an underlying, indescribable nature that only the�sonic world seems to be able to reach. �There�s a feeling of�ecstasy that comes when one merges with music,� he says.��It�s what calls us all back again and again to listen, to sing, and�to play.� McCann had been striving to reach this outlying�environment throughout his career, often stretching in ways�that eventually came to negatively impact his life, and his�health.

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

Since their 2012 debut, Protomartyr have mastered the art of evoking place: the grinding Midwest humility of their hometown, as well as the x-rayed elucidation of America that comes with their vantage. The group�s sixth album was recorded at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, TX with producer Jake Aron. �The desert is more of a metaphor or symbol,� singer Joe Casey says, �of emotional deserts, or a place or time that seems to lack life.� The �growth� came from a period of colossal transition for Casey, including the death of his mother. But life does go on, and Casey describes the great theme of Formal Growth In The Desert as an embrace and acknowledgment of that fact: a 12-song testament to �getting on with life,� even when it feels impossibly hard.

Phoenix-based indie punk band, AJJ, is back with their 10th studio album, Disposable Everything. After years of cult-like indie success and underground critical acclaim, AJJ has continued to evolve with each album, adding more layers and texture musically, while still maintaining their trademark wit and irreverent lyricism. Not every band can juxtapose apocalyptic despair with the warm comfort of an electric blanket, while hitting fans with rousing punk anthems one minute, and beautiful acoustic balladry the next. With Disposable Everything, AJJ has created an album that is both important and beautiful, that will make you feel better about everything while telling you just how terrible everything is, and will be sung loudly at shows for years to come.

Ltd. Edition glow in the dark transparent vinyl. Hailing from New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania, North Eastern U.S.A. Kings Never Die walk the line between positive, uplifting messages and dead serious subject matter. A musical and lyrical mix of hardcore, punk and metal with chat or sing along vocals. In the band's words, "We love making music together and this is what gets spit out". Comprised of members, Dylan Gadino (vocals) Dan Nastasi (guitar/add vocals) Danny Schuler (drums) Larry Nieroda (guitar) & Evan Ivkovich (bass). The original version of the band started working in late 2019 and released an EP "Raise A Glass" in early 2020 right before the covid pandemic, essentially shutting down the rest of it's 20',21' plans. Since the goal had always been to formally release a full-length album, the band used the down time to focus in on writing and recording. The band emerged with some new members and another EP "Good Times and The Bad" in 2022 as a taster while completing their upcoming "All The Rats" debut full length album.

Electric Blue Vinyl. Deeply informed by a deliberate transformation of his musical process, Bayonne's third full-length Temporary Time ultimately makes for his most expansive work to date-an album of both painfully raw introspection and otherworldly beauty. On Temporary Time, Bayonne channels vast imagination into an elegant, yet wildly experimental form of electronic pop, equal parts meditative and mesmerizing. In the making of his latest body of work, the Austin-based artist/producer/multi-instrumentalist otherwise known as Roger Sellers found himself in even greater need of an outlet for his kinetic creative impulses, thanks to an intense convergence of events in his personal life: his father's diagnosis with and eventual death from cancer, the end of a significant relationship, and an overwhelming struggle with depression and anxiety. "Right Thing" and "Perfect" are focus tracks.

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.

Matchbox Twenty - Where The Light Goes Where the Light Goes is the upcoming fifth studio album by Matchbox Twenty, scheduled for release on May 2023, by Atlantic Records. The first single from the album, "Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream)". It is the band's first album in over a decade since North in 2012. It is their first album not to be produced by longtime producer Matt Serletic. Street Date: 05/26/23

The thought of how an underground power/pop/punk band should exist in the aftermath of the Green Day Nineties was a proposal that hung heavy with apprehension, confusion and bewilderment. While a difficult construct to navigate, this is the unlikely Portland, Oregon setting we see the Exploding Hearts erupt from.

Drawing spiritual inspiration from the likes of the Buzzcocks, Undertones, and Nick Lowe,�the attitude and implied delinquency of the Exploding Hearts was more in line with that of au courant Naughties Warped Tour line-ups. The band also considered themselves peers with the scuzzier side of �The� rock bands at the top of the 2000s. The intersection between Detroit garage punk, Goner Records and the shelves at Hot Topic is a seldom tread land, but it was fertile with potential.

With ten undeniable songs clocking in at just 28 minutes, the Hearts' indisputably essential Guitar Romantic operated as the punk rock equivalent of Ernest Hemingway�s writing: Nothing extraneous, simple, straightforward, to the point, deserving of no additional flourish or accoutrement, with every creative decision pushing forward the work as a whole. Arguably, perfect.

The album immediately felt strong. It felt classic. It felt�destined for bigger things.�

Yet barely three months after its domestic release, with momentum building and Lookout! Records sniffing around, band members Jeremy Gage,� Adam Cox and Matt Fitzgerald, all barely in their twenties, would die in a tragic van accident that ended the band.

The intervening two decades has found Guitar Romantic bubble up from a below-the-radar cult classic to a genuinely acknowledged and appreciated touchstone of its time. As years have carried on with the album rightfully landing on countless �Best of� lists, this record is somehow still ascending and growing.

With that in mind, the passing of Guitar Romantic co-writer �King� Louie Bankston in 2022 served as inspiration for Six to place the album with an appropriate and caring long-term home after years of planning to self-release. Six approached only one label - Third Man Records - who immediately agreed to take up the mantle of the record that was near and dear to their collective hearts.

Guitar Romantic (Expanded & Remastered) doesn�t just present the album with a sharp, spiffed up remastering. It also found original album producer Pat Kearns spinning the old reel to reel and archived DAT tapes for the first time in twenty years. This enabled Six to drop in nuggets like little snippets of pre-and-post-take studio dialogue amongst band members, adding audible life to a record that for too long has been overly-associated with death.

If that weren�t enough, the remastering uncovered the previously forgotten organ-heavy �King Louie Mix� of the fan favorite �I�m A Pretender.� Even more intriguing was the discovery of a completely unheard take of �So Bored", previously not even known to have been recorded at the Guitar Romantic sessions.� Of most excitement though is a remastered version of �Busy Signals� (a song originally released on a small-quantity 7-inch in January 2003).

All of these songs are included here, housed in a beautiful gatefold packaging and still all fitting on a single LP.

With plans to play a handful of select tribute shows across the US to honor the Guitar Romantic material, Terry Six continues to carry the torch for the Exploding Hearts and the countless fans who count this album as a quintessential touchstone.

Recorded at Ardent Studios and released in 1972, the album has gone on to become one of the most influential and iconic debut albums of all time. This 50th-anniversary edition is pressed on 180-gram metallic gold with purple smoke vinyl and features all-analog mastering by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. The album has been included in Rolling Stone�s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, with the song �Thirteen� featured in its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Strap yourselves in for the sonic ride of your life. Rock and classical royalty unite on brand new album Drastic Symphonies. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Def Leppard have drastically deconstructed and reimagined some of their biggest hits, collaborating with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This bold new approach to the orchestral hits formula sees new vocal and guitar recordings from 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.

Dave Matthews Band�s 10^th�studio album, Walk Around the Moon,�took shape during the pandemic and is as much a reflection on the current times as it is an urge to find common ground.�Walk Around the Moon�will be released to coincide with the start of the band�s 2023 summer tour. �

On the heels of his newest single release �Forget Me,� Lewis Capaldi returns with his sophomore album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent.

Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments,�and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simon�s craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the �album".

A stunning, intricately layered work, it�s a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Paul�s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation � including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.

True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken, Seven Psalms reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King David�s Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before, Seven Psalmsdefies categorization.

The record�s tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of �Two Owls� by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran.

Braxton Cook's new album, Who Are You When No One is Watching?, showcases his depth as an artist. Already named to OkayPlayer's "23 Albums OkayPlayer Can't Wait to Hear in 2023" and BET's "Most Anticipated Albums of 2023," the album features elegant, saxophone-driven instrumental tracks like "Indie" and smooth, progressive R&B songs like "90s" feat. Masego. Listeners will realize themes of love and relationships throughout the album, juxtaposed to songs inspired by the journey of an independent artist and the everyday violence and struggles Black men and women face in America. This body of work is a strong statement reflective of Braxton's life experience and inspirations.

An indie pop duo whose music has a cool retro vibe buoyed by smooth melodies, a naturalistic sound, and warm harmonies, Purr is a collaboration between songwriters, musicians, and longtime friends Eliza Barry Callahan and Jack Staffen. The two previously worked together as Jack + Eliza, but while that project emphasized spare and stripped-down accompaniment, Purr�s recordings feature a fuller sound with a larger palette of instrumental flavors that often references �60s pop. Purr introduced themselves to the world with a 2018 single, �Bad Advice� b/w �Painted Memory,� that showed off their talents as both writers and vocalists, and they further refined their style on their first full-length album, 2020�s Like New and continue that on forthcoming album Who Is Afraid Of Blue?

To make it, the duo teamed up with their close friend, producer Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, The Killers), whom they worked with on �Like New.� They went to his North Hollywood studio, a small building behind his home. This was during Omicron, so they kept recording small, just the three of them in a room for most of the time. Programmed drums on an 808, that kind of thing. While they recorded, they screened movies. Ranging from Barbara Loden�s Wanda, to Paul Thomas Anderson�s Magnolia, to Dr. Strange and The Avengers. It all provided texture to the songs. Like making a score. �It�s a really hermetic record,� says Staffen, �which ended up feeling really special.�

Sonically, Who Is Afraid Of Blue? isn�t beholden by genre. It is an omnivorous record�you can hear glimmers of Aimee Mann, Radiohead, the Cocteau Twins which is fitting because Blue is in some ways a record of their process of falling in love with music all over again.

Who Is Afraid Of Blue? also exists lightly in conversation with a short novel Callahan wrote (forthcoming via Catapult, 2024), an auto-fiction document of a woman losing her hearing. And all of it comes back to those Newman works: Purr makes music that functions like those large-scale paintings so very saturated with color. Blue is a vast record, with lyrics that bend towards abstraction. But make no mistake: in that abstraction there is intense clarity. Blue is blue: a color, a feeling, a signifier, a way of looking at the world.

The FAST X Official Motion Picture Soundtrack is the latest global, multi-genre soundtrack from The Fast Saga franchise. The compilation features the hottest emerging and international superstar recording artists in the world, spanning Phonk, Latin, Hip Hop, R&B, EDM, Country and Pop.

The Jonas Brothers took the world by storm in 2019 with the surprise release of their critically acclaimed and widely successful single "Sucker" following a six-year hiatus. The triple-platinum single debuted at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. Their third #1 album �Happiness Begins� went platinum, and they recently celebrated receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their next album 'The Album' will release on May 12, 2023 and was produced by Jon Bellion.

On Last Man Dancing, Jake Shears turns his lifelong love affair with club culture into his most ambitious pop music to date. The album was brought to vivid life by Jake Shears and a close crew of collaborators, including head-turning features from Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda, Iggy Pop, Amber Martin, and a pre-Renaissance turn from the iconic Big Freedia.

You know a band has to be one of the most incredible live outfits in the country when they get signed immediately after a show in the time it takes to pop outside for a cigarette break. This is exactly what happened to Island of Love after they were invited to play The Blue Basement venue in Third Man Records - which opened in September 2021 in London as the third Third Man store after Nashville and Detroit. Island of Love were second only to Jack White himself to play the room and it was still so new that the drummer even left with paint on his back from where he�d been pressed up against the wall playing. With that on-the-spot offer, they became the first band signed to Third Man London.

The band are a unique proposition in many ways. While countless London bands continue to go down the same tired path of churning out spoken word post-punk, Island of Love marry raw, primal noise led by crunchy guitars with intrinsically melodic sensibilities - recalling the sound and spirit of peak-era Dinosaur Jr. or Husker D�.

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.

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.

Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Parker McCollum is following up his breakout major label debut,�Gold Chain Cowboy, with his forthcoming studio album, Never Enough, out May 12 (MCA Nashville). McCollum earned his first-ever No. 1 hit with his double-platinum certified premiere single, �Pretty Heart,� and his follow-up gold certified single, �To Be Loved by You,� also hit No. 1 on the charts.

It�s been a time of intense, worldwide change over the past few years� or maybe it all depends on scale. Zooming out to a geological timeline, maybe not much has changed at all. On his sixth album Wilderness Within You, acclaimed singer/songwriter Parker Millsap explores this flux between the here and now and the big BIG picture, while reckoning with questions about humanity�s place on this planet. The result is a study in contrasts: the personal versus the cosmic, sparse acoustic compositions sitting next to lush psychedelic improvisations. Above all, Wilderness Within You is an understanding of darkness while expressing an abundance of gratitude for life itself.

Born and raised in Purcell, Okla., a tiny town with a huge sky, Millsap learned early on how to express gratitude through song while playing gospel in the church band. Long-time fans will recognize the album�s foundations � acoustic instrumentation and solid songwriting centered around Millsap�s show-stopping voice. They�ll also spot the evolution towards more experimentation and sampling from other musical cultures. Beyond the opening �Greetings and Thanks,� which puts to music �The Thanksgiving Address� of the indigenous peoples of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy � all proceeds from the song will be donated to the Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force � the album continues on with a series of auditory landscapes and thoughtful insights including �Running on Time,� which contrasts a sweet message about patience with distorted electronic harmonies. The second half of Wilderness turns darker and moodier with the industrial, buzz-saw �Half a World Away,� which finds Millsap questioning �who murders for my meat? who gets it here from there?� At the other end of the sonic spectrum is the beautiful, roots-y title track, a duet with the legendary Gillian Welch. The track illustrates Millsap�s understanding of nature as something that humans are not separate from - that life is stunningly beautiful most of the time, but does contain streaks of darkness that are just as natural: �There�s a field that�s full of violets, there�s a bruise that�s purple brown / There�s a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground.�

In a broader sense, Wilderness Within You poses many weighty questions without easy answers. While Millsap can feel deeply discouraged by the way things are going wrong in the world, especially with the climate crisis, Wilderness Within You is threaded with hope and thankfulness for all we do have. This idea is beautifully etched on �Magic,� an anthem about the power of paying attention � a torch song perfect for listeners to join in and belt along to.

�I really do want people to feel the magic,� Millsap said, echoing lyrics from the song. �It�s out there.�

Ed Sheeran is set to release his new album �-� (Subtract) - the last in his decade-spanning mathematical album era - on May 5, 2023. An album that revisits Ed�s singer/songwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, �-� (Subtract) presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest.

The indie variant includes�three�exclusive screen-printed inserts, each inspired by the three acts of ATUM.

Over 3 decades ago, Peter One was a STAR. A country music star, in West Africa. With his singing partner Jess Sah Bi, Peter played to sold out arenas. In 1985, Our Garden Needs Its Flowers, launched the two Ivory Coast musicians into regional stardom across greater West Africa. Now solo, Peter One ultimately decided to emigrate to the US to further his music career. Come Back to Me features songs in English, French and his native African language.�

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".

The third full-length from Olivia Jean, Raving Ghost, is an album populated by mysterious characters in various states of danger: cursed lovers, doomed souls, women deliriously haunted by unseen forces. Over the course of its 12 spellbinding tracks, the Detroit-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist amplifies that drama with her wildly melodic take on garage-rock, handling each riff with the power and precision she�s previously shown as a member of the Black Belles (and as an in-demand session/touring musician who�s played with legends like Wanda Jackson). A stunning evolution of the retro-surf sound of her past solo work, Raving Ghost ultimately makes for the most magnificently heavy and mesmerizing output yet from an endlessly fascinating artist.�

DRAIN � the Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band, whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a global�pandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023.

Living Proof is the band�s Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, California Cursed. The new album is a testament to the�hard work and heartfelt ethos that�s at the center of DRAIN�s good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears�on the track, �Intermission�. There�s also a cover of �Good, Good Things,� a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pit�forebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. �It�s crazy because the song�s been out like forty years, but lyrically it�s a DRAIN song!� exclaims vocalist�Sam Ciaramitaro. �It just hits on everything that I love, that I�m about.�

What Sammy�s about is plenty wholesome. �I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,� beams. �If we were able to get�through the tough times, anyone can. I can�t wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. We�re what the title says, the�Living Proof.�

Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God�s Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo),�this is hardcore for everybody. �As the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive,� says the smiling singer. �Every night I set up the merch and run�it until it�s time to play. I want to be the guy that everyone says hello to. I want to thank every single kid that comes out for being there.�

Durand Jones�s Wait �Til I Get Over is a memoir and a love letter.�It is the story of Jones�s life, his growth and revelations, the�wisdom of his hometown and the wisdom he could only gain�once he left. In it, he writes through Hillaryville�s contradictions:�the pristine beauty and the ragged roads; his teenage desire�to leave and his adult desire to honor his tangled roots; the�plantation history and the ups and downs of the Black community�that made homes of this reparation town. �Hometowns have a�way of keeping a part of you,� says Jones, �and if I�m making�something young-me would be proud of, Hillaryville is a big part�of that.� Jones finds something transformative in his memories�there and the life he has led since, ultimately claiming and�embracing his whole self.�

The result is vulnerable, personal, touching on Jones�s�relationship to church life, to his mother, to his queerness, to�his worth. �I wish I could tell my younger self �you don�t have to�stick to the dreams people have for you,�� says Jones, ��you can�dream bigger. You are more than capable, you are more than�able. I think about some nerdy punk kid in the rural south who�needs to hear that now.�� Wait �Til I Get Over does exactly that.

Emily King has a near-magical gift for digging into life's deepest sorrows and uncovering unexpected beauty and illuminating truth. The NYC-bred artist brings ever-evolving levels of depth and nuance to her songwriting, rooting each revelation into a mesmerizing blend of soul, R&B and forward-thinking pop. Special Occasion - the follow-up to the multiple GRAMMY-nominated Scenery (2019) - is an intimate look at the ways we love, grieve, and stumble toward a greater sense of self-understanding.

Hailed by American Songwriter as �one of America�s most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic voices,� Eilen Jewell rises from the ashes on her captivating new album, Get Behind The Wheel, picking up the pieces of her shattered world and finding new purpose after watching her marriage, her band, and what felt like her entire career fall apart in a series of heartbreaking implosions. Co-produced by multi-instrumental wizard Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Hayes Carll), the 11-song collection pushes the acclaimed singer and songwriter�s trademark blend of vintage roots-noir into more psychedelic territory, with spacious, cinematic arrangements complementing her revelatory explorations of grief, loss, resilience, and redemption. The band�s performances are electrifying here, resulting in Jewell�s boldest album yet, a powerful work of artistic alchemy that transforms heartache into genuine creative rebirth.

Single-sided 12" EP featuring two new originals from RSD US Ambassadors Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, a reimagined version of "Tour of Duty" from the Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit album Here We Rest, and a cover of Richard Thompson's "Beeswing".

Logan Halstead will release his anticipated debut album, Dark Black Coal, May 5 via Thirty Tigers.

Age is a number, and Logan Halstead constantly reminds us of that. At just 15 years old, he wrote his first song, "Dark Black Coal", a powerful and haunting song about life for many of the people where he is from who had to work in the coal mines of southern West Virginia. Logan Halstead, 18 years old, is a country/folk/americana singer-songwriter who grew up in Comfort, WV. Logan pulls most of his music from the struggle and hardship of his life and those around him. Small-town living isn't intensely stimulating socially or economically, but spiritually there is always a yearning for more.

Being from WV and KY, it's no surprise that Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson influence him, but he has also found a lot of inspiration from Nicholas Jamerson and Cole Chaney. "All these folks mentioned have laid a path and shown that it's okay to be from these parts; we're not so looked down on anymore..." says Logan. It's given him the ability to be proud of who he is and has led him to be a driving force in the scene of young artists from the Appalachian region.�

Logan doesn't like to put himself in a box sonically or stylistically. Still, many would adorn it as Appalachian/Americana music. Above all, it is raw and honest, and the writing wrapped in wisdom one might only think someone two decades older than could conjure. While the masses clamored for more content, Halstead took his time and found the right partners for his debut album. He decided to cut his project at the famous Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, TN. He was accompanied by the one and only Lawrence Rothman (Amanda Shires, Margo Price, Angel Olson, and many more). When asked about the recording process, Logan said, "It was a great experience; Lawrence is top-notch. They made me feel comfortable just to go in and do what I do, and to get to record in a place like that is a dream come true, especially for a holler kid". Lawrence, who saw success at a very young age, was a perfect fit because they understood Logan's position and angst and allowed Logan to express himself freely.

In 2020 Logan released "Dark Black Coal" on Youtube, which has since amassed almost 6 million views. The success of that single has allowed Logan to build a great fan base through YouTube, touring, and opening for folks like Zach Bryan, Charles Wesley Godwin, Town Mountain, and many more. With the record's release over a year after he created the album, Our Vinyl came into his life at the perfect time. Halstead released a taste of his upcoming project, and with that four-song EP, Logan gained over 120,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.�

With the success of "Dark Black Coal" it's no surprise that it became the title for his first album. He signed with Thirty Tigers and is excited to partner with them on his release. The release date is slated for May 5th, and he will be touring those songs throughout May. Expect to see his name on festival billings, support tours, and in a town near you. "I want my music to keep evolving and improve my craft. I want to be the best I can be and give my fans shows to remember" says Halstead. Like all musicians, they hope to achieve a successful career but don't expect Logan Halstead to change who he is or what he believes in to reach it. Authentically himself, he strives to always be honest and authentic to his fans.

Completing their seventh studio album was a hard-won victory for The Milk Carton Kids, but I Only See the Moon was worth the effort for Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. �It feels like returning to something that�s natural and comfortable, and also just as inspiring and new as when we first met,� says Pattengale, who formed The Milk Carton Kids with Ryan in 2011.

What started as a three-week recording session in the fall of 2021, with Pattengale producing the contemporary folk duo himself for the first time, stretched into a monthslong project that found the pair digging deeper into their craft than ever before. With a new studio of their own in Los Angeles and the realization that they were in no hurry, The Milk Carton Kids took the time they needed to be fully satisfied with I Only See the Moon.

�I haven�t been as happy with the collection of songs that we�ve put on record probably since our first record, and it�s because of a lot of the lessons we�ve learned over the years, including giving yourself time and space,� Ryan says.The three-time Grammy nominees sound refreshed on 10 new songs distilled to the essence of The Milk Carton Kids: two voices blended together in spellbinding harmony, accompanied by subtly perfect acoustic instrumentation. Turns out that�s a tough sound to get just right, but I Only See the Moon shows just how much Pattengale and Ryan were willing to work for it.�

He has also written songs for Frankie Ballard, Thompson Square, and James Wesley.

Stephen Stills is an unyielding force of nature.��

The amount of music pouring out of this man could�ve fueled a half-dozen bands. Following the June�1971 release of his second solo album, Stephen Stills 2, he announced his first solo tour designed to�showcase all aspects of the ever-growing artist. Fans who were lucky enough to catch his historic debut�trek, dubbed �The Memphis Horns Tour,� were treated to the balladeer, the raving troubadour, the�acoustic bluesman, the soul driver, and by far the most passionate music maker offering his goods across�the better auditoriums and arenas that summer.��

This previously unissued live album, with performances hand-picked by Stills from his personal archives,�was recorded on August 20 and 21, 1971 at The Berkeley Community Theater. This 3,500-seat venue�made this one of the most unique and intimate stops on the tour that included his iconic concert at New�York�s Madison Square Garden. In many ways, these Northern California shows in Berkeley sound as if�Stills is leaving it all on the stage during a hometown gig.�

In addition to The Memphis Horns, Stills is backed by a loyal cast of friends, including his usual steady�rhythm section�drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Calvin �Fuzzy� Samuels�along with keyboardist�Paul Harris, guitarist Steve Fromholz, and percussionist Joe Lala. Guesting on both nights of these�recordings was David Crosby, singing on his own nautical classic �The Lee Shore,� and the Stills-penned��You Don�t Have To Cry,� a Crosby, Stills & Nash favorite.�

The music on these grooves�timeless and era-defining performances� �Word Game,� �Love The One�You�re With,� �Sugar Babe,� �Cherokee,� among others, hasn�t aged a day since they were captured on�tape. This album, rather than being an artifact from a bygone era, sparkles and stimulates. It cajoles you�into thinking, feeling and�most importantly�moving. This is music that�s been unearthed because it�s�simply too good not to be blasting out of cars and exploding from apartment windows and onto the�streets.��

Stephen Stills Live At Berkeley 1971 is a cornucopia of priceless sound�and all of it bears the�distinct and loving fingerprint of Stephen Stills.

�Howie Edelson,�New York City,�December 2022

�I was finally able to trust myself fully,� says Indigo De�Souza of making her masterful third album�All�of This Will End.�Across 11 its songs, the LP�is a raw and radically optimistic work�that grapples with mortality, the rejuvenation that community brings, and the�importance of centering yourself now. These tracks come from the most resonant�moments of her life: childhood memories, collecting herself in parking lots,�the ecstatic trips spent wandering Appalachian mountains and southern swamps�with friends, and the times she had to stand up for�herself. �All of This Will End�feels more true to�me than anything ever has,� she says.

In many ways,�All of�This Will End�has become a personal motto for Indigo. �Every day I wake up�with the thought that this could be the end,� she says. �You could look at it�as a sad thing, or you could look at it�as a really precious thing: Today I'm�alive and at some point, I will not be in this body anymore. But for now, I can�do so much with being alive.� There�s a peacefulness in acceptance throughout.�As she sings on�the title track, �I�m only loving only moving through and�trying my best / Sometimes it�s not enough but I�m still real and I forgive.��She describes the experience of writing this song as �magic,� as if everything�about it from the words and melody had felt timeless and intangible and that�she was just writing it down. Like the hues of reds and oranges that her mother�painted on the LP cover,�All of This Will�End�marks a�warmer and unmistakably audacious era for her. It�s a statement�about fearlessly moving forward from the past into a gratitude-filled present,�feeling it all every step of the way, and choosing to embody loving�awareness.

Renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author Josh Ritter will release his anticipated new album, Spectral Lines, April 28 via Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Ritter�s longtime collaborator Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Langhorne Slim), Spectral Lines finds Ritter expanding beyond the bounds of his previous work to create a record both atmospheric and profound. Dedicated to the memory of his mother, Ritter searches for commonality across these ten seamless tracks by exploring life�s most universal ideas�love, devotion and what it means to be connected, to both each other and to ourselves.

�I think it�s important for us to share some of our most basic and common experiences with each other, however we can. That�s what we really, really need right now. I know we have common experiences, and it�s important to telegraph those back because they don�t have to be lonely experiences.� - Josh Ritter

One of today�s most thoughtful and prolific voices, Ritter has released ten studio albums including 2019�s widely acclaimed, Fever Breaks, of which NPR Music praised, �He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.� In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2011�s Bright�s Passage and 2021�s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, for which the film rights have recently been optioned for development. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright�s Passage �shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime�This is the work of a gifted novelist.�

In celebration of the new record, Ritter and his band, the Royal City Band, will return to the road in spring �23 with headline shows at Chicago�s Thalia Hall, Nashville�s historic Ryman Auditorium, Washington, DC�s Lincoln Theatre, Philadelphia�s Keswick Theatre, Boston�s House of Blues and New York�s Beacon Theatre among others. Visit www.joshritter.com for full details.

In addition to Ritter (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar) and Kassirer (piano, organ, mellotron, synthesizers, drums), Spectral Lines also features Jocie Adams (clarinet, synthesizers, background vocals), Matt Douglas (woodwinds), Zachariah Hickman (upright bass, electric bass), Rich Hinman (electric guitar, pedal steel), Shane Leonard (drums, percussion, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass), Kevin O�Connell (drums, percussion, electric bass, electric guitar) and Dietrich Strause (acoustic guitar, electric guitar).�

The Sun is the fourth studio record from Joseph (sisters Natalie, Meegan and Allison Closner) and the follow-up to Good Luck, Kid (2019). It builds on its predecessor�s cinematic pop, bringing a thrilling new energy into each of the albums ten elegantly sculpted tracks. Joseph worked with acclaimed producers Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, First Aid Kit) and Christian �Leggy� Langdon (Amos Lee, BANKS) to build an irresistibly vibrant sound ranging from moody grandeur to pure anthemic glory.

Nigerian-American musician, songwriter and producer Joy Oladokun announces her new album, Proof of Life, out April 28, 2023 on Amigo/Verve Forecast/Republic Records. Her third original full-length album vividly captures the human experience with a profound simplicity, celebrating the little details and simple pleasures of being alive, while giving voice to some of life�s most complex experiences in a way only she can. The album boasts feats from Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan, Mt. Joy and more.

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.

Guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela have announced the follow-up to the GRAMMY-winning album Mettavolution. In Between Thoughts�A New World is the duo�s first full-length album in four years. It is a spontaneously composed, yet unified work which brings the same expansion of consciousness that inspired its creation. Self-produced in Ixtapa, Mexico, the album sees Rodrigo y Gabriela building on their original sound to include electronics and orchestral elements.

When Paul Janeway learned he was going to be a father he decided to scribe his thoughts (joy, fear, confusion) as messages to his then-unborn daughter. Those letters became Angels in Science Fiction, the stunning fifth album from St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Produced by Matt Ross-Spang at the legendary Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, it finds the band stretching further out, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022�s The Alien Coast. Indie Exclusive Black & White LP.

2023 release. Grammy award-winning duo Twenty One Pilots have announced a special release of their recent performance for MTV's iconic Unplugged series. Recorded this past summer during a live taping in Los Angeles in front of some of the band's top local fans, MTV Unplugged finds Twenty One Pilots delivering reimagined versions of a selection of their biggest and most beloved songs from their catalog.

Transparent Violet Sparkle Vinyl. Enter Shikari are a rock band from St Albans, UK. In 2020, they released their sixth album - Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible - which also gave them their sixth album to debut in the UK Album Chart top 5. Frequently collecting Best Live Artist awards, Enter Shikari's seventeen-year career thus far has seen them rise from teenagers touring the UK grassroots venues, to festival main stages and arena headliners worldwide.

�PERMANENT.RADIANT is the newest EP from the darkly cinematic duo ��� (Crosses) featuring Chino Moreno of Deftones on vocals and Shaun Lopez on production and instrumentation. This project features the previously released singles �Vivien� and �Sensation,� along with the once exclusive vinyl track �Day One.� Eerie synth arrangements and pulsating percussion culminate in a lush, sprawling soundscape captured throughout this collection of songs. Chino Moreno's lyrics and vocal textures combined with Shaun Lopez's immersive production and sound design create a world that will likely transport anyone who listens to places both familiar and new.�

ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT is the recently minted duo of Ariel Engle (La Force, Patrick�Watson, Broken Social Scene) and Efrim Manuel Menuck (Godspeed You! Black�Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion). Longtime friends, collaborators, and stalwarts of the�Montr�al post-punk community, this is their first full-fledged project together. AH_ML�weaves these two unique voices through lustrous tendrils of blown-out tones and�drones, expanding on Menuck�s eponymous modular and analog synth-based work of�recent years, now imbued with an additionally searing, soulful warmth and melodicism�through Engle�s singing.�Darling The Dawn�is a spellbinding album of preternaturally�genre-bending sonics and songwriting: a sort of electronic shoegaze suffused with�freak-folk, kosmische, darkwave and post-industrial, flowing from ambient minimalism�to pulsing maximalism, conjuring traditionals sung in the haze of earliest light�accompanied by overdriven circuit boards powered with ungrounded wires.

72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told �who we are� by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.�

-James Hetfield

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.

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.

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.

A gorgeous and gripping portrait of Fenne�s last two years, Big�Picture was pieced together in an effort to self-soothe. Tracked live in�co-producer Brad Cook�s North Carolina studio, the album delineates�the phases of love and becomes a map of comfort vs claustrophobia.

Though its creation took place amid personal and global turmoil, the�ruminative yet candid Big Picture is Fenne�s most cohesive, resolute�work to date, both lyrically and sonically. �This isn�t a sad album ��it�s about as uplifting as my way of doing things will allow,� she says.��These songs explore worry and doubt and letting go, but those�themes are framed brightly.� With confidence and quiet strength, each�track provides an insight into Fenne�s ever-changing view of love and,�ultimately, its redefinition � love as a process, not something to be�lost and found.�

While the album was written alone in Fenne�s Bristol flat � a fact�intentionally reflected in its compact sonic quality � Big Picture was�transformed from a solitary venture into a unifying collaboration during�the recording process when she was joined by her touring band, Melina�Dutere of Jay Som (mixing), Christian Lee Hutson (guitar and co�production), and Katy Kirby (vocals).�

Notably, these 10 songs are Fenne�s first and only to have been�written over the course of a relationship; 2018�s On Hold and 2020�s�BREACH both confront the pain of retrospection, saying goodbye to a�love that�s gone. Big Picture does the exact opposite � rooted firmly�in the present, it traces the narrative of two people trying their hardest�not to implode, together.

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.

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.

The 8 Mile Deluxe Edition 4LP (180g) is the Official soundtrack to the (Eminem) semi-autobiographical film of the same name; originally released on October 29, 2002. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and eventually became the fifth best-selling album in the US in 2002. Certified 6x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Apart from tracks by Eminem himself, the album also features hard-hitting tracks with Jay-Z, Macy Gray, Boomkat and more..."

The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they've cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who�ve grown alongside them through the years. That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band's eighth studio album. Recorded analog to 16-track tape, this latest effort finds its three creators embracing the chemistry of their acclaimed live shows by capturing their performances in real-time direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight. An acoustic-driven album that electrifies, Heart is the Hero is stocked with songs that target not only the heart, but the head and hips, too.

"We love records that come from the era of less tracks and more care," explains co-founder Oliver Wood. "When you use a computer during the tracking process, you have an infinite number of tracks at your disposal, which implies that nothing is permanent, and everything can be fixed. Tape gives you limitations that force you to be creative and intentional. You don't look at the music on a screen; you listen to it, and you learn to focus on the feeling of the performance.��

Throughout Heart is the Hero, those performances are matched by the visceral storytelling and songwriting chops that have turned The Wood Brothers into Grammy-nominated leaders of American roots music, even as their music reaches far beyond the genre's borders. The stripped-down swagger of "Pilgrim'' underscores Oliver's reminder to slow down and experience each moment as an interactive observer, rather than a passive tourist. A similar theme anchors �Between the Beats," where Oliver draws upon a meditation technique � maintaining one's focus on the space between heartbeats � to reach a new level of presence. The gentle sway of country soul gem �Rollin� On,� featuring horns by Matt Glassmeyer and Roy Agee, expounds on the time-honored tradition of love as the guiding light through darkness, while �Mean Man World" finds Chris Wood singing about his responsibilities as a father whose young daughter is poised to inherit an uncertain future. "Line Those Pockets'' is a universal call for mercy and understanding over materialism. "Everybody's just trying to be happy, so put your money away; line those pockets with grace," the band sings in three-part harmony during the song's chorus, which emphasizes compassion over cash as the world's true currency. Together, these songs offer a snapshot of a spirited, independent-minded group at the peak of its powers, always pushing forward and seeking to evolve beyond what�s come before.

"There's still acoustic guitar, upright bass, and percussion on this album � things people use all the time � but we're always thinking, 'How can we make this sound like us, but not like something we've already done?'" Oliver says. "Sometimes, the only way to do that is to get weird.�

That sense of exploration pumps its way through Heart is the Hero like lifeblood. Arriving on the heels of 2019's Live at The Fillmore, 2020's Kingdom In My Mind, and Oliver Wood's solo album Always Smilin' � all of which were released on Honey Jar Records, the band's independent label� Heart is the Hero is bold, bright, and singularly creative, a fully realized collective effort ultimately greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps that's to be expected from a group whose willingness to experiment has earned acclaim from Rolling Stone and NPR, as well as an annual touring schedule of sold-out music halls and theaters on both sides of the Atlantic. Ask The Wood Brothers, though, and they'll tell you to expect the unexpected.

"We are never satisfied if we are not searching for new musical recipes," says Jano Rix, nodding to the uncharted territory that Heart is the Hero covers. Chris Wood agrees, adding, "We are one of those bands that isn't easily categorized. We know what our strengths are, but we can�t help but push the envelope, as well. It�s too much fun."
