Julien Baker & Torres - Send A Prayer My Way

Written and sung in the best of the outlaw tradition- defiant, subversive, working class, and determined to wrestle not only with addiction, regret and bad decisions, but also with oppressive systems of power. Mercifully, this is only the beginning of the stories Torres and Baker are determined to tell. Because these are also songs about radical empathy and second chances, and third chances, and while there's plenty of struggle and regret in here, there's also humor and defiance.

Tunde Adebimpe - Thee Black Boltz

For the last 20+ yrs, Tunde has largely been known as the co-founder, co-vocalist and principal songwriter for TV On The Radio. The mostly-black art-rock band triumphed through two decades of volatile cultural change to become one of the most beloved, enduring and influential groups from New York City's early-2000s rock scene. Tunde initially conceived of the album in 2019, while TV On The Radio was on a break. He started translating ideas into music with the help of multi-instrumentalist Wilder Zoby (Run The Jewels), with whom he shares a studio with in Los Angeles.

Neil Young - Coastal OST

Coastal is a personal, behind-the-scenes documentary on Neil as he cruises the coast on his 2023 solo US tour. The film gives an intimate view of the musician, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid. From his everyday observations on the bus to his candid banter with his audience. A rare peek behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast. The soundtrack features 11 Neil songs including "Song X", "Vampire Blues", "Expecting To Fly", "Throw Your Hatred Down", "I Am A Child", and "Prime of Life". LP out now- CD delayed, sorry!

Childish Gambino – Bando Stone And The New World

Donald Glover has declared Bando Stone the last Childish Gambino album. The ostensible soundtrack to a feature-length movie of the same name, the hour-long project includes snippets of dialogue that hint at the film's apocalyptic subject matter. The fact that the soundtrack is preceding the actual film is part of Glover's strategy: He wants listeners to work to figure out what they're listening to. Even without the benefit of the full visuals, these 17 tracks make for a satisfying swan song that synthesizes what came before with fresher ideas gleaned from the threshold of finality.

Beirut - A Study Of Losses

The 7th album from the musical project of Zach Condon. The album originated in 2023, when Viktoria Dalborg, director at the Swedish circus Kompani Giraff, reached out, asking if he would be interested to provide the music for their next project, a show based on an adaptation of a novel by German author Judith Schalansky. The main themes in Schalansky's book and in the adaptation for the circus show deal with the concept of loss and the impermanence of everything known to us: from extinct animal species, lost architectural and literary treasures to more abstract concepts of loss through the process of aging.

Adrian Younge and Venice Dawn - Something About April III

Younge closes the trilogy with grander compositions for his uniquely inspired vinyl collecting audience. As the proceeding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, part 3 does the same, but with a bold twist: Brazilian Psychedelica! A sonic world fueled by a 30-piece orchestra, analog synthesizers, breakbeats and Brazilian vocalists that carol psychedelic melodies in Portuguese.
