Alan Sparhawk - With Trampled By Turtles

In his years in Low, Alan built decades of stirring music with his lifelong partner Mimi Parker. So it made sense that he would turn to fellow Duluth musicians Trampled by Turtles to realize his new album. As friends and mentees taken under their wing from their earliest days as a bar band, they have performed with him countless times over the years. In winter 2024, they created a record exactly as it's name implies: Collective. Communal. Fraternal. Empathetic. A vessel for comfort, a reminder of the harmony that can exist when surrounded by those closest to you. Leaning into the folk stylings of it's backing band, Alan's voice now completely unvarnished.

Ty Segall - Possession

Ty hits the big sky trail of our good ol frontier empire, discovering non-stop bangers and inspired new sonics around every bend. With lyrics co-written by longtime collaborator, filmmaker Matt Yoka, Ty's glittering rhythm arrangements move with fresh scansion, inviting in sweeps of strings and horns to further the charge righteously. You're invited too! Don't miss the trip – the country inspires awe from up on Ty's high-octane ride.

Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell (Dlx 10th Annv)

Aesop Rock - Black Hole Superette

Entirely self-produced, Black Hole Superette is one of Aesop Rock's most technically accomplished works to date. The album's intricate beats and complex structures provide the perfect backdrop for his expansive lyricism, balancing cerebral exploration with emotional depth. Aes channels the spirit of a mad scientist, experimenting with sound and concept in ways that defy the ordinary. With a stellar lineup of collaborators that includes Lupe Fiasco, Armand Hammer, Hanni El Khatib, Open Mike Eagle and Homeboy Sandman, the album is dense and kinetic, and deftly navigates between complexity and instinct.

Swans - Birthing

"The material contained in this album was largely developed over the course a yearlong tour, then recorded, further orchestrated & rearranged in the studio. The material began with me sitting in my office with an acoustic guitar, singing and dreaming about what would become of these skeletal songs. Through improvisation, endless revisions and an intensity of focus in performance, over the course of time the music morphed into what you hear on this collection. This album constitutes my final foray into the all-consuming sound worlds that have been my obsession for years. After that, Swans will continue in a significantly pared down form." - M. Gira

Shura - I Got Too Sad For My Friends

A pastoral blend of chamber pop, 60s folk and campfire Americana, it builds Shura's introspective songwriting out into a vast landscape more tranquil than the soulful bounce of forevher, and more rustic than the brooding synth-pop of her 2016 debut Nothing's Real. Though it's an album rooted in themes of depression and loneliness, it's far from downcast. Instead, it stays fully present in it's feelings and plunges it's fingers into the earth - even when it can be painful to do so. Featuring collaborations with Cassandra Jenkins, Becca Mancari and Helado Negro.
