Molchat Doma - Belaya Polosa

Belarusian post-punks Molchat Doma have always exuded the kind of brutalist aesthetic of the architecture that adorns their albums. Cold, gray, imposing, industrial- and yet there are human hearts beating within those foundations. In the wake of their breakthrough success in 2020, they endured a polarity of experiences, from the nadir of an uprooted life and forced relocation away from their native Minsk to the apex of headlining massive shows across the world. It was in this headspace that the band settled into their new home of Los Angeles to finish writing their 4th album, a testament to change in difficult times, a love letter to the digital pulse of the 90s, and a technicolor reinvention of the band's somber dancefloor anthems.

Toro Y Moi - Hole Erth

Chaz Bear's 8th record as Toro y Moi dives headlong into Soundcloud rap and Y2K emo. The album blitzes anthemic pop-punk next to autotuned, melancholic rap - two genres that inform one another now more than ever before - and packs in the most features ever on a Toro y Moi album. A sense of nostalgia sneaks it's way into almost every Toro y Moi release, but angst is an emotion that Bear has never intentionally explored the way he does here. At a time when the internet is blending multiple genres into one at an increasingly rapid pace, Bear accomplishes the rare feat of keeping up with the contemporary alternative listener.

The Deslondes - Roll It Out

Deslondes are a group of dudes from New Orleans. The band splits up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its 5 members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. Roll It Out the band continues to build on their inventive take on New Orleans country and R&B. Leaning on the country-folk of their debut along with the sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound of their previous records. The sound will continue to draw comparisons to the country-funkiness of The Band, Link Wray, and others but this is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, while embracing their own contemporary approach.

David Gilmour - Luck & Strange

The brand-new album by David Gilmour was recorded over 5 months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour's first album of new material in 9 years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmour's co-writer for the past thirty years. Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards and the string and choral arrangements are by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a 'Barn Jam' at David's house.

MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks

Manning Fireworks is a remarkable development in MJ Lenderman's story as an incredibly incisive singer-songwriter, whose propensity for humor always points to some uneasy, disorienting darkness. The punchlines are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made Lenderman a favorite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero. There's a new sincerity, too, as Lenderman let's listeners clearly see the world through his warped lens.

Awolnation – The Phantom Five
Awolnation is an American rock band from Los Angeles, formed and fronted by Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants, Home Town Hero, and Insurgence.

Basic - This is Basic
A mind-meld between Chris Forsyth, Nick Millevoi, and Mikel Patrick Avery (Natural Information Society). The trio quickly flowered into an improvisational swirl of disorienting electronics, hypnotic throb, and dense flanged-guitar harmonics: three unique voices spinning a complex conversation of textures and rhythms.

Bremer / McCoy - Kosmos
The uncategorizable Danish band of Jonathan Bremer (on acoustic bass) and Morten McCoy (on keys and tape delay). They started as a dub group, bringing their own sound system to shows. Now their sound hovers between jazz, ambient, and dub, with contemplative, propulsive melodies that capture the Nordic woods they play in.

Denitia - Sunset Drive
Across the album, Denitia draws from the country and alternative rock music she listened to growing up; the songs of artists such as the Eagles, Vince Gill, Waylon Jennings, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, and Neil Young, ever present in her life; and the decade she spent entrenched in Brooklyn's indie music scene.

Dummy - Free Energy
Sophomore album from this LA-based group is a record that celebrates music's ability to move the body, whether that be through a teeth-rattling wall of MBV-esque noise, a sticky pop chorus, or a joyous drum machine - or, maybe all of them in the same song.

El Michels Affair - Glorious Game Instrumentals LP
The Instrumental version of the underground classic El Michels Affair & Black Thought collaborative album Glorious Game.

Fat Dog - Woof
A thrilling blend of electro-punk, rock'n'roll snarling, techno soundscapes, industrial-pop and rave euphoria. Music for letting go to or, in the words of frontman Joe Love, "screaming-into-a-pillow music".

Claude Fontaine - La Mer
Second album of 60s French ye-ye pop, slinky Studio One reggae, and liminal Brazilian tropicalia, Claude's songs embody the best kept dreams of a globally connected world. At times, Fontaine channels Jane Birkin as backed by Jorge Ben. Francois Hardy locked into sonic reverie with Mulatu Astatke, or Margo Guryan making lovers rock.

The Heavy Heavy - One Of A Kind
Brighton, UK's The Heavy Heavy long-awaited debut album. The album expands the sunshine psych-pop and folk sound of their debut EP which won massive acclaim from the likes of NME and The Guardian.

Hinds - Viva Hinds
Madrid's Hinds return with a sonically adventurous & career-defining 4th album. Recorded with producer Pete Robertson (Beabadoobee) in rural France, it features a guest verse from Beck & the band's close friend Grian Chatten of Fontaines DC singing on the simmering post-punk inspired stand-out track "Stranger."

Horse Jumper of Love - Disaster Trick
Since 2013, the Boston trio have slowly stretched the fringes of indie rock across 5 albums. Their music unwinds with gutting emotional intensity thanks to the impressionistic lyrics and how the arrangements violently lurch from delicate to bludgeoning.

Sarah Kinsley - Escaper
Sarah Kinsley's debut album Escaper is a vibrant, bold and beautiful body of work written solely by this left-field singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Manchester Orchestra - Cope: Live At The Earl
Ten years later, Cope holds up as the band's loudest, fastest and most pounding album of their career. To celebrate the 10th-anniversary, they took the stage at Atlanta's tiny but beloved rock venue The Earl to perform the record from start to finish - immortalized on this special tribute release.

Mercury Rev - Born Horses
Spiritually, literally, psycho-geographically: where does their 9th album spring from? This cascade of gleaming, glistening psych-jazz folk-baroque-ambient that searches its soul but can never truly know the answer. A sound & vision begun with skeletal chords and surges of self-reflection, alive to the notions and motions of time and reality somehow both linked to their exalted past whilst quite unlike anything they've created before?

Pale Jay - Low End Love Songs
In this album, Jay departs from loop-based song structures towards more intricate and lush compositions. Latin influences permeate the music, adding new layers of rhythms and textures to his soul-music roots.

Party Dozen - Crime in Australia
Party Dozen are a 2-piece noise band from Sydney made up of Kirsty Tickle (sax) and Jonathan Boulet (drums / sampler). Crime In Australia continues to build on their arc, and elevates their ascent with a slew of new songs that are simultaneously more focused and more feral than anything they've ever done.

Rex County Orange - The Alexander Technique
His fifth studio album, is a detailed portrait of Alex's lived experience from his early to mid 20's. The album was produced by Rex himself alongside Teo Halm and Jim Reed, in addition to James Blake who produced and features on the track Look Me In The Eyes.

Max Richter - In A Landscape
A record about bringing together the electronic and the acoustic. The creative process was deliberately minimal, writing notation by hand and restricting his palette to just a few colors: string quintet, grand piano, Hammond organ and MiniMoog, plus tape delays, vocoders and reverbs.

Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow - Civil War LP
Original Score for A24's Civil War. Pressed on neon green vinyl.

Seefeel - Everything Squared
Their first new music since 2011. Mainly composed and performed by the core duo of Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock. Mastered by Berlin-based engineer Stefan Betke, aka Pole, and housed in a sleeve designed by Ian Anderson at The Designers Republic.

Jon Spencer - Sick of Being Sick
Jon Spencer teams up with Kendall Wind and Macky Spider Bowman - the rhythm section from Woodstock NY punk rock wunderkind The Bobby Lees - to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

Benny Trokan - Do You Still Think Of Me
Benny is the bass player for Spoon, Lee Fields' Expressions, Reigning Sound and The Jay Vons. Here he takes the listener through the full spectrum of 60s influenced music: moody teen-beat bop, garage dwelling angst, and sweet soul. But throughout the record, itʼs the unique sound of Benny's raspy, vulnerable lead vocal that carries us across this truly stunning collection of modern pop.

Uniform - American Standard
Uniform's most thematically accomplished and musically self assured album to date. Sections spiral and explode. Motifs drift off into obscurity before reasserting themselves with new power. Genres collide and burst open, forming something idiosyncratic and new. A work of art, agonizing in its honesty and relentless in its pursuit of sonic transcendence. It is hideous. It is beautiful.

Wayne Graham - Bastion
Wayne Graham (the band) is at the forefront of the new movement of artists shaping the New Appalachian Sound - shaped by tradition, but intentionally set on forging a new sonic landscape. The new album, Bastion firmly establishes them as the architects of a new sound coming from the region.

The American Analog Set - The Golden Band LP
The ethereal 3rd album from Texas's slowcore band. A lethargic, sparse, and autumnal album, The Golden Band is where The American Analog Set developed the courage to drive 40 KPH on the autobahn.

Candido - Dancin & Prancin LP
Candido already had a storied career when he cut this LP for Salsoul in 1979. You might be excused for assuming this was just an old-timer cashing in on disco. The infusion of his conga beats into the 4/4 syncopated rhythm proved irresistible, revolutionizing the sound of underground disco while pointing the way to house music to come.

Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring (Tone Poet LP)
This album reflected the change of the early 60s: both the musical freedoms being explored by the emergent avant-garde movement and the social freedoms sought by the ascendent civil rights movement. Features Walter Davis Jr (piano), Herbie Lewis (bass), and Billy Higgins (drums) - it melds the bluesy language of hard bop w/ the bristling energy of The New Thing.

Joni Mitchell - LP reissues
Vinyl reissues of Canadian singer/songwriter's Mingus, Hejira, and Shadow & Light.

Pharoah Sanders - Thembi LP
Released in 1971 on Impulse and recorded with two different ensembles, it marked a departure from the slowly developing, side-long, mantra-like grooves he had been pursuing. Instead, it offers an intriguingly wide range of relatively concise ideas resulting in something of an anomaly in Sanders' prime period. Verve By Request Series features 180g LP, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.

Frankie Stein & the Ghouls - CD/LP reissues
Color vinyl pressings. Campy 60s takes on horror rock. Plus CD collection of this LPs.
