Lucy Dacus - Forever Is A Feeling

Following a run with Boygenius that earned her 3 Grammy Awards, Lucy's 4th solo album explores falling in and out of love, the tumult of desire, and larger than life romance. Across 13 tracks that range from lush arrangements to simple declarations, Dacus makes a serious inquiry into what it looks like to dedicate one's life to true love, and a valiant attempt to capture the elusive, fleeting feeling of forever. Gold vinyl with signed insert while they last.

Destroyer - Dan's Boogie

Contradiction informs much of Dan's Boogie, the fog swirling around Bejar illuminated by the friction between competing truths and tastes, as when his interest in jazzy ballads runs aground on producer John Collins' interest in bands like Led Zeppelin and Scritti Politti. When Bejar told Collins that he was thinking of Sammy Davis Jr, the title track bloomed into being, Bejar adopting a Rat Pack swagger with almost delusional glee against a dreamy soundscape of soaring guitars, lush horns, jazz drumming, spaced-out synths, and plinking lounge piano.

Great Grandpa - Patience, Moonbeam

From the sparkling pop-grunge of their debut, to the sprawling indie rock of the follow up, the band has been on a clear trajectory of both refining and re-defining their sonic identity. Album #3 delivers on that promise, taking the band's DNA and elevating it. All of their signature elements are there- nontraditional song structures and penchant for hooky melodies, soothing yet stirring lead vocals- but with a sophistication and expanded list of sounds that mirror their years of personal growth.

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Arcadia

Their first LP since the 2011. Krauss is a 27-time Grammy winner. For 4 decades, they've upheld their legacy as one of the most celebrated acts in bluegrass & roots music. The players - Alison (fiddle, vocal), Jerry Douglas (dobro, lap steel), Ron Block (banjo, guitar), Barry Bales (bass), and welcoming celebrated tenor vocalist Russell Moore (guitar, mandolin). Five distinct personalities, but when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus.

Mumford & Sons - Rushmere

Mumford & Sons are back with their 5th studio album Rushmere, produced by Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). The 10 track album is a triumphant return to form, with upbeat foot-stompers Rushmere, Truth, & Caroline alongside tender ballads such as Monochrome & Where It Belongs. CD or bloodshot red vinyl LP while they last.

Palmyra - Restless

The ten-song album features the Virginia-based band's unique blend of traditional folk string arrangements, lush harmony, and earnest songwriting. Named one of NPR's "Best New Artists of 2024, " Palmyra's sound is often described as a distant cousin to The Avett Brothers with influences from Pinegrove and Houndmouth. They nod toward Appalachian and Midwestern Americana, with intricate arrangements that create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble.

Perfume Genius - Glory

Glory has a pristine surface and a tender, roiling underside. It's muscular, filled out by his partner in life and songcraft Alan Wyffels and longtime producer Blake Mills alongside the fiercest band he has ever assembled: guitarists Meg Duffy and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, and bassist Pat Kelly. For Glory, he discovered a new songwriting process because he welcomed the dynamics of a group, leaving room in his compositions for his friends to flesh out the arrangements.

Spellling - Portrait of My Heart

Chrystia Cabral's lyrics tackle love, intimacy, anxiety, and alienation, trading the allegorical approach of much of her previous work for something pointed into her human heart. The thematic forthrightness is echoed in it's arrangements, making it her sharpest album to date. From the dark minimalism of her earliest music to the lavishly orchestrated prog-pop of The Turning Wheel to this newly energetic expression of her creative spirit, Cabral has proved again and again that Spellling can be whatever she needs it to be.

Sure Fire Soul Ensemble - Gemini

While their breakbeat-heavy brand of funk-soul-jazz is still the cornerstone of their sound, SFSE have begun to take more cues from library music labels such as KPM, spiritual jazz labels such as Tribe & Black Jazz and exotica adjacent jazz artists such as Cal Tjader and Dorothy Ashby. Now leaning more into the "introspective" part of their sound, they evoke the spirits of Freddie Hubbard, Phil Ranelin, Wendell Harrison, Bubbha Thomas, Chester Thompson and Cannonball Adderley at his headiest & most cosmic.
