Jack White - Frozen Charlotte

The 7th studio album from Jack White shows him at his best; backed by an incredible band whose collective hand is scorching hot after coming off a universally-acclaimed tour. They went straight to work at White's Third Man Studio in Nashville. This album carries on the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy- an intense rock and roll punch with never far behind blues underpinnings, all of which fits right at home with long time fans while leaving an inviting open door to newcomers alike.

VA - Concrete Rock: New York DIY LP

The first Desert Island Recordings release, Red Xerox, showed the development of Chicago's youth scene since the pandemic, but in NYC, things are a little more fledgling, raw, and undefined. The past few years have brought about a crop of new artists with more passion, drive, and creative spirit than has been seen in a long time. Contrary to popular belief, rock has never left NYC, you just have to know where to look. These songs trace a spectrum and community, not united in sound or aesthetics, but in values. Devised by Sydney Salk (WFMU, See-Saw) out of her zine Compilation Nation.

VA - Hospitality State of Mind Vol 2 LP

This record includes 12 tracks of blues and gospel field recordings made by George Mitchell throughout the 1960s through the 80s. These recordings were collected on Mitchell's trips throughout the deep south searching for authentic blues musicians in their homes and workplaces. Curated by Lenny Kaye and featuring songs by Houston Stackhouse, John Lee Ziegler, Lonzie Thomas, Green Pachal, Bud Grant, Robert "Nighthawk" Johnson, Bud White, Jim Bunkley, Robert Longstreet, George Henry Bussey, James Davis, and the Pettis Sisters.

Kelela - New Avatar

New Avatar is where everything Kelela has been building toward comes into focus. She started writing her first songs in the D.C. indie scene before the club music and electronic production that defined her early career took over. With new avatar, she closes the loop: R&B run through distorted guitar living alongside new intersections in dance music, culminating in a sound that pulls from everywhere she has ever lived musically.

Panda Bear & Sonic Boom - A ? Of When

Their 2nd album maintains the sense of musical play brought forth in their 2022 debut, Reset. It is built on loops of harp and sequences of steel drum, webs of pedal steel and even bits of a mariachi band. These are, of course, deliberate choices, sounds and textures they've never used and that offered a clear sonic break from the success of Reset. These tunes grapple with online exhaustion and pervasive depression, with political chicanery and ecological sustainability, all while advocating for respecting the power of luck and giving one another grace. Bonus stickers and charms with purchase!

The Rolling Stones - Foreign Tongues

Foreign Tongues, the vibrant 14-track album from the Rolling Stones, arrives less than three years after Hackney Diamonds. Led by the infectious single "In The Stars," it was recorded in under a month at Metropolis Studios with producer Andrew Watt. Blending their signature sound with fresh sonic territory, the album features Charlie Watts on one of his final sessions, plus contributions from Darryl Jones, Steve Jordan, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith and more. DLX LP box also available.

Houndmouth - Lordy

For the making of Lordy, Matt enlisted a small circle of musicians including Iron & Wine's Sam Beam, MJ Lenderman, Phil Cook, and live touring keyboardist (and Bloomington heartthrob) Caleb Hickman. "Everything sounds close, like you're having a close conversation rather than a surface-level conversation." The result is Houndmouth's most intimate record yet, delivering an emotional punch that lingers long after the music fades.

Show Me The Body - Alone Together

4th album from the NYC post-hardcore band. Alone Together is an album about praxis. Putting belief into action. The opening line, "radical love compels me to fight", reflects lived experience, standing up for one another and for what you believe in, regardless of outcome. They have recontextualized their core language into something with more clarity than ever before. This is not about atmosphere but direct communication, a call to galvanise ourselves and the people around us.
