St Vincent - Masseduction (Loma Vista)

"Every record I make has an archetype," says Clark. "'Strange Mercy' was Housewives on Pills. 'St. Vincent' was Near-Future Cult Leader. 'Masseduction' is different, it's pretty first person. You can't fact-check it, but if you want to know about my life, listen to this record." 'Masseduction' is the culmination of years of writing, with songs crafted from voice memos, text messages, and snippets of melodies that came to Clark while traveling the globe. Available as CD, standard LP, or DLX LP (which is delayed) in translucent PVC sleeve w/ 24" x 24" foldout poster, sticker sheet and 28 page booklet.

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - Lotta Sea Lice (Matador)

COURTNEY: Now that we finished the album, we dreamt up an amazing band which we've called THE SEA LICE (inspired by a Stella Mozgawa beach-side-story) and me n Kurt will be standing there out front with our guitars singing songs together. Songs from this album we did, a handful of our own songs from previous albums, maybe some old folk songs n what not. Harmonies and guitarmonies galore. Very collaborative. Lotta Sea Lice is the result of 8 days in the studio spread over almost 15 months when Courtney and Kurt's respective touring schedules allowed for them to be in the same place at the same time.

Robert Plant - Carry Fire (Nonesuch)

Robert Plant's 11th studio album, Carry Fire, produced by Plant in the west of England and Wales, melds unusual rhythms with naturalism. As with his 2014 album, Lullaby and The Ceaseless Roar, the album features his band The Sensational Space Shifters. They are also joined here by special guests, including Chrissie Hynde.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard + Mild High Club - Sketches Of Brunswick East (ATO)

Sketches of Brunswick East is a collaboration with Los Angeles outfit Mild High Club, which came about as the bands toured the world together. The two bands worked by essentially sampling themselves, piecing together bits of reworked recordings to form a complete song. In a press release, lead singer Stu Mackenzie likened it to “sampling-culture, in which old ideas are reshaped and suddenly things make sense. It was like we were continually jamming with ourselves.” The album’s title was inspired by Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain with a nod to King Gizzard’s hometown of Melbourne.

King Krule - The Ooz (True Panther)

The Ooz is the 2nd album from London-born polymath Archy Marshall. The 19-song sprawling epic follows his 2013 debut 6 Feet Beneath The Moon. 6FBTM brought King Krule universal acclaim, worldwide tour dates, and put him on track to becoming a household name. For the last two years, Archy has been holed up in his south-east London neighborhood, shutting out the world, and shuttling between his bedroom recording setup and a small studio walking distance from his home. He has refined his craft; taking dramatic steps as a songwriter, producer and lyricist. This album is seeped with the results of that time spent alone.

Lydia Loveless - Boy Crazy & Single(s) (Bloodshot)

New collection from Columbus, OH's alt-country singer Lydia Loveless contains her summery Boy Crazy EP plus 6 more non-album singles & B-sides, including original songs in addition to inventive and bare-bones covers of Prince, Elvis Costello, and Kesha. The recordings span from 2012 to 2015 and are appearing on a full length release for the first time.

William Patrick Corgan - Ogilala (BMG)

As the founding member of Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan has created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in modern musical history having sold more than 30 million albums, and won multiple Grammy Awards in the process. For Ogilala, he teamed up with legendary producer Rick Rubin to make his most intimate body of work to date.

Front Bottoms - Going Grey (Fueled by Ramen)

Going Grey finds The Front Bottoms embracing the impermanence of life and finding flexibility in the face of change. Having relocated band headquarters to the coastal New Jersey community of Asbury Park during the demoing stages of the album, Going Grey sees the band acknowledging the nostalgia of simpler times with admiration, while welcoming the inevitable unknowns of life.

Rural Alberta Advantage - The Wild (Saddle Creek)

The Rural Alberta Advantage's percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, and relentless tradition of touring have taken the trio from humble recognition amongst indie rock die-hards as "Canada's best unsigned band" to sold-out tours and devoted fans around the world with featured coverage from Spin, Pitchfork, NY Times and Rolling Stone all taking note. The band has been nominated for two Juno Awards, long listed for the Polaris Award, and awarded the CBC Music Prize for Best Independent Artist in 2014.
