Foreground Music [Limited Edition Orange LP]
$26.98  26.98
chart cover

FOREGROUND MUSIC, the title of Ron Gallos 4th LP, and debut for Kill Rock Stars might also be a suitable name for his own genre. In simplest terms its the opposite of background music - unavoidable, urgent, in your face - Gallos consistent theme is to confront, disrupt and sometimes even confuse people into a sense of awareness. The intention to steer away from apathy and self-empower by focusing on what we can control and make light of in a world designed to take it away. The guitar is less an instrument and more of a primal noise machine. This record is a challenge to everything and everyone, including his own self, who is holding back the progress of humanity (especially in America) into a more open, empathetic and collective unit - the words delivered with a punkish tenacity and lining even the heaviest topics with an ever-present sense of humor. It covers the full spectrum of emotion. This music feels like life feels right now. In his eyes, how could it not? Clad in caution tape and construction orange color scheme, much like his surrounding neighborhood in Philadelphia where it was written and recorded. Gallo doesnt see now (or ever) as the time to sit back and chill - this is going to be what we make it. Over the course of the record traversing between sounds akin to an exploding NYC subway station, oddball dance-punk, noise pop, even the more grave moments would sit well in whatever a modern version of CBGBs 1975 would be - in 11 songs Gallo shares detailed anecdotes and takes on male entitlement, the age of anxiety, apathy vs. action, gentrification, narcissism, retail therapy, xenophobia, the dread of future generations, right wing extremists in giant pickup trucks, capitalism, climate change and the experience

 

Enemy of the World: Re-Recorded [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Orange w/ Brown Splatter LP]
$29.98  29.98
chart cover

New England rock band Four Year Strong have announced a re-recorded version of "Enemy of the World complete with an updated depiction of the album art. The album originally came out over 10 years ago and was a breakout record for the band. Now it sees new production and 4 extra b-sides. "We decided to re record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that havent been able to get it since the record came out." says Alan Day. He continues "It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dan's house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it. We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like its 2010 again."

Fauna [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Cream White LP]
$48.98  48.98
chart cover

If youre talking about modern progressive rock and dont bring up Haken, youre doing it wrong. Since the south English sextet started jamming together in 2004, theyve been one of their genres most loyal yet, simultaneously, adventurous forces. And how do you honour such an eclectic, unpredictable career? You make Fauna: Hakens most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date. The premise of the album when we started writing it was that every song would have an animal assigned to it, explains singer and co-founder Ross Jennings. They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others.

Musically, Fauna represents Haken at their most diverse. Taurus commences the album with its scraping heavy metal chords, as polyrhythmic as they are jagged. However, Rosss melodic croon and the triumphant chorus are true Haken. Eyes Of Ebony is pure math rock, delicate in its start-stop clean guitar picking and chiming cymbals, while Island In The Clouds flaunts its bouncing bassline. Eighteen years deep, theyre still evolving and keeping their fans on their toes. Is there any truer definition of what making progressive rock means than that?
 

WOW [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Yellow LP]
$25.98  25.98

Kate NVs WOW offers listeners a prismatic shift in perspective and scale, a parallel dimension in which the mundane becomes funny, unfamiliar, and altogether sensational. Turning the contents of her 2020 album Room for the Moon upside down and spilling them across a floor checkered with intrigue and surprise, Kate places sound, object, and ritual under the microscope to magnify the delight hidden in plain sight of everyday life.

WOW is Kate Shilonosovas fourth full-length release as Kate NV in six years, and third for RVNG Intl. Her prolific musical output aligns with a highly attuned aesthetic and a deep commitment to visual world building. WOW is one of many of these worlds in which music is fully saturated with color, deeply tactile and textural. Shiny, sproingy, plastic. Where Room for the Moon embraced structure (abstractly speaking) and veered pop, WOW happily abandons conventional song shapes, parsing the experience of musical time into ecstatic fragments.

Kenneth Anger [Blue LP]
$22.98  22.98
chart cover

Over the last half decade, the music collectiveConstant Smiles has produced a prolificoutput of acclaimed music, culminating in their forthcoming record Kenneth Anger,masterfully brought to life by engineerJonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, Liars, DougiePool). The group is known most recently for their much-praised debut album for SacredBones records, Paragons, an emotionally resonant offering of indie folk masterpieces that allconfront the internal ways we process our struggles with intimacies, addiction and human-ityproduced byBen Greenberg.

Constant Smiles primary singer/songwriterBen Jones uses the creative process as a tool forworking through deeply transformative periods in his life. The bands indie folk music laysbare this internal process, but onKenneth Anger, the music shifts to synth pop and looksexternally, examining creativity, community, ritual, and their place in the healing process.Ritual takes a primary role in the eponymousKenneth Anger. Not only is auteur KennethAnger himself known for his sensorial depictions of ritual, Jones often used the films as asilent visual back drop during his song writing sessions, a ritual that grounded the creationof the album. And while the directors use of saturated color inspired the warm 80s synthstyle production, the directors trailblazing spirit of authenticity also pushed Jones throughhis most vulnerable expression to date.

North Georgia Rounder [LP]
$26.98  26.98

North Georgia Rounder is strongly related to Pony Bradshaw's last album (Calico Jim) but also stretches its legs into different territory. Place/region/localism/history has been a focus of Bradshaw's over the past few years and he has continued that focus with North Georgia Rounder. But as the album title (Rounder) suggests, its also about life on the road: in taverns, in vans, sleeping on floors, meeting good folks, etc. Bradshaw notes how he longs for a well-ordered life and acknowledges the struggle to reconcile that instinct with spending half of it on the road. But stories need to be told, he said, and somehow Ive finagled my way into a position to tell a few."

Chris Chu, who performs with POP ETC (formerly known as The Morning Benders), built his career touring with '00s indie-pop staples like Grizzly Bear, Death Cab For Cutie, Ra Ra Riot, We Are Scientists, and more, so he was the perfect person to produce the record. "That's always been what I love," Blair explains of his musical history spent listening to decades-spanning pop-rock bands like the Beach Boys and Fountains Of Wayne. Through working with one of his musical heroes and good friends, Blair crafted the most expansive, ambitious project of his career.  

The Day The Country Died [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]
$24.99  24.99
chart cover
Indie Exclusive * The astounding debut album that established the Subhumans as a genuine force to be reckoned with, The Day The Country Died captured both the bands serious anarcho punk ideology and their irreverent sense of humour. It was apparent from the off that here was a band that could not only stimulate your brain but also put a big shit-eating grin on your face as you jumped about to them. And the now-iconic artwork by Nick Lant probably his most recognisable piece of work for the band - has adorned countless thousands of jackets and T-shirts since. Recorded over just four days during the heady summer of 1982, and released six months later in January 1983, when it quickly climbed to No. 3 in the UKs then-important Independent Charts, this exhilarating collection of songs has endured for four decades, the band still regularly kicking their live set off with the opening track, All Gone Dead.  

From The Cradle To The Grave [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]
$24.99  24.99

Indie Exclusive * With their eclectic influences and scintillating musicianship, Subhumans were never going to be content to trot out anarcho punk by numbers, but no-one was really prepared for the progressive brilliance of their sophomore album, From The Cradle To The Grave. Whilst the A-side contains nine short sharp bursts of energised punk, gleefully embracing all points of the spikey spectrum, from the breakneck thrash of Reality Is Waiting For A Bus to the ominous dirge of Wake Up Screaming, it is the ambitious title track that really captures the imagination, its sprawling sixteen-plus-minute running time telling the sorry tale of the human life cycle across a myriad of dynamic acts. If anyone was still in any doubt, it was the band defiantly setting out their stall as a creative entity that existed outside the stifling constraints of perceived musical sub-genres. Committed to tape by the visionary John Loder at Southern Studios at the tail end of 1983, it was released in April 1984 to widespread acclaim and only kept from the No. 1 spot in the Independent Charts by New Order!  

Worlds Apart [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]

Indie Exclusive * Arguably the highlight of their Eighties output, the third Subhumans album was recorded at Woodlands Studio, Castleford, during Spring 1985, and released early the following year, a few months after the band had split. Opening with the slightly incongruous instrumental, 33322, what it lacks in rampant speed, it more than compensates for with some truly sublime compositions, assured arrangements and dizzying time changes. With a front cover illustration inked by vocalist Dick, Worlds Apart saw the band find a veritable sweet spot in their song-writing, spawning many of their best-loved tracks, such as Apathy, Businessmen and Cant Hear The Words, but every single track on the album remains an understated masterpiece.

Mascot Records is proud to announce the release of 'Voices', the new studio album from blues rockers, The Cold Stares, available everywhere March 10th, 2023. For the past ten years, The Cold Stares have toured the world relentlessly as a duo, blowing away audiences across the US and Europe with a fierce, blistering live show that belied their bare bones, guitar-and-drums setup. Now, the band is embracing a whole new kind of chemistry as they launch their next chapter, adding a third member and channelling the classic power trio sound they grew up on with their explosive new album, Voices. "The chains were off when we made this record," says guitarist/singer Chris Tapp. "Suddenly, all the parameters that had dictated what we could and couldn't do just disappeared and we were free to create whatever sound we wanted." That sense of total artistic liberation lies at the heart of Voices, which pushes The Cold Stares' signature mix of blues, southern, and hard rock to bold new heights. Recorded almost entirely over the course of just two days with producer/engineer/mixer Mark Needham (Taj Mahal, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Walk the Moon, Fleetwood Mac), the album stands as the band's most mature, eclectic collection yet, balancing gritty muscle and tender emotion in equal measure.

If anything, the boys are stronger than ever with a one-two punch of airtight guitars, stadium-shaking grooves, and hypnotic hard-hitting hooks. Over the past decade, they've clawed their way through the rock 'n' roll ranks and emerged as an unbreakable force. Their catalog spans fan favorites such as True Love Never Dies [2012], Peace At All Costs [2014], and Sleeping Lions [2017]. Signature anthem "Soldiers" has amassed over 66 million Spotify streams and counting-unprecedented for a rock band of any era. Meanwhile, 2019's Defy kickstarted another chapter. "Crossfire" eclipsed 5.1 million Spotify streams followed by "Lifted" with 3.7 million Spotify streams. Loudwire hailed the latter as "a stomp-clap rocker."

CELEBRATING A QUARTER CENTURY OF BLACKMORE'S NIGHT. 25th ANNIVERSARY RE-MIXED EDITION OF THE MILESTONE DEBUT ALBUM "SHADOW OF THE MOON"

The band's debut album "Shadow Of The Moon" (1997) was not only Blackmore's deliberate radical cut from his previous life as celebrated rockstar in Deep Purple and Rainbow; it was a ground-breaking statement of his artistic ideals: mainly acoustic music, influenced by the songs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance with a touch of genius that made them sound contemporary.

"Shadow Of The Moon" was a milestone album. It encompasses everything that Blackmore's Night stand for to this day: beautiful melodies and warm atmospheres that are able to reach the soul as well as joyful songs to dance to and to celebrate.

Those who really understood Ritchie Blackmore 's music in his rock years, could immediately find the essence of his greatness in Blackmore 's Night, supported by lyrics that fit his music more than ever before.

March 2023, the 25th Anniversary Edition of "Shadow Of The Moon" will be released worldwide. The album was converted in HD audio from the original recording, and it has been fully remixed, allowing the original performance to shine in its original glory. The original iconic artwork has been refreshed and reworked to celebrate the anniversary.

"More Than This is an incredibly deeply personal album to myself lyrically. But the whole band has put their heart and soul into this record.

"It's a very personal album to me on the lyrical level, because it's all about the hurdles I've overcome in life, over the past two or three years, and coming out the other side of is as a person. It's all about growth and change. I think a lot of people will connect to it on a deep level, that's what I'm hoping anyway."

The title asks, "Do you want to be more than you are? Do you want more on the financial side of things? Do you just want more from life in general, or do you want more from your love life? You want more from your job. Do you think you deserve that in some areas?"

"'More Than This' doesn't come from a sense of entitlement," stresses Ellis. "It comes from wanting to make something of yourself and your life."

Remember You Must Die is the sound of extreme metal stalwarts SUICIDE SILENCE channeling the spirit of their classic albums like The Cleansing or No Time to Bleed and delivering a modern deathcore masterpiece. Produced by Taylor Young (Xibalba, Vitriol, Drain), Remember You Must Die taps into the rawness and energy in SUICIDE SILENCEs DNA to thunderous result.

With this record, theyre going deeper and darker, the songs often lyrically being a meditation on death and finality. Says the band: Every second the clock ticks we grow closer to death and what happens after our short bout with time is a total mystery. Remember You Must Die was written as a reminder to remember death and to not let time be our master. With artwork by acclaimed Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough, SUICIDE SILENCE isnt merely looking back in anger. Theyre starring forward and setting the standard for metallic extremity in the process.

 

Oh Me Oh My [Clear Blue LP]
$26.98  26.98
chart cover
'Oh Me Oh My' is both elegant and ferocious. It is stirring in one moment and a balm the next. It details histories both global and personal. Lonnie Holley's harrowing youth and young manhood in the Jim Crow South are well-told at this point - his sale into a different home as a child for just a bottle of whiskey; his abuse at the infamous Mount Meigs correctional facility for boys; the destruction of his art environment by the Birmingham airport expansion. But Holley's music is less a performance of pain endured and more a display of perseverance, of relentless hope. Intricately and lovingly produced by LA's Jacknife Lee (The Cure, REM, Modest Mouse), there is both kinetic, shortwave funk that call to mind Brian Eno's 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts' and the deep space satellite sounds of Eno's ambient works. But it's a tremendous achievement in sonics all it's own.It's also an achievement in the refinement of Holley's impressionistic, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. On the title track which deals with mutual human understanding", Holley is able to make a profound point as ever in far fewer phrases: "The deeper we go, the more chances there are, for us to understand the oh-me's and understand the oh-my's." Illustrious collaborators like Michael Stipe, Sharon Van Etten, Moor Mother and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver serve as not only as choirs of angels and co-pilots to give Lonnie's message flight but as proof of Lonnie Holley as a galvanizing, iconoclastic force across the music community.

V [Legendary Edition 2LP]
$32.98  32.98
chart cover

Created between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawai'i, V is the first double album from the Hawaiian-New Zealand singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra band. Designed to play as one continuous movement and road-tested on dry California freeways, V is the definitive Unknown Mortal Orchestra car record. It's also the fifth full-length album Ruban has released in twelve years. Across fourteen sunbleached songs - written solo or with his brother Kody - Ruban draws from the rich traditions of West Coast AOR, yacht rock, weirdo pop and Hawaiian Hapa-haole music. Over a laidback blend of singalong anthems and cinematic instrumentals, he evokes blue skies, afternoons spent lounging by hotel swimming pools and the alluring darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces. It's a duality expressed in the dilapidated sunset blues and the saltcorroded soul Ruban explores through tracks like 'Layla' and 'Nadja. ' During the pandemic's early days, Ruban reunited with Kody at a cousin's wedding in Hawai'i. With assistance from their father, Chris Nielson (saxophone/flute) and longstanding Unknown Mortal Orchestra member Jake Portrait, they brought everything Ruban had been thinking about together. The result was V, due for release on March 3, 2023, through Jagjaguwar. When they talked about records that moved them in that spine-shivering manner, Ruban started thinking about the 70s AM radio rock and 80s pop songs that had lurked on the edge of his subconscious mind for most of his life. He wanted to write his version of records like that, leading to the two glorious uptempo singles Unknown Mortal Orchestra released in 2021, 'Weekend Run' and 'That Life'. However, the golden good times never last forever. Not long after, health issues began to plague his extended family. Putting his recordings aside, he helped his mother and his uncle move home from New Zealand and Portland to Hawai'i, and began dividing his time between Hawai'i and Palm Springs. During this period he reconnected with his relatives, reassessed his past, and started to look at things with fresh eyes. Hawai'i brought back memories of the darker side of his parents' lifestyle as entertainers. On those trips, he heard those classic AM radio rock records everywhere. They were inextricably intertwined with the palm trees, swimming pools, and glamorized hedonism he'd internalized from his childhood. There's a type of music in Hawai'i called Hapa-haole (Half white). You can hear it expressed in signature Unknown Mortal Orchestra style through the humid guitar-led atmosphere of V's penultimate song, 'I Killed Captain Cook'. Although the songs are presented in a traditional Hawaiian manner, they're mostly sung in English. Having been influenced by Hawaiian music since Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first album, Ruban saw a space for himself within the tradition. When he reflected on his success, he realised he had the responsibility and platform to represent Hapa-haole music on the global stage.

Theres more than a hint of ambition on the doubleLP sophomore effort from Sam Austin Rabede, theproducer known as DJ Black Low. Pretoria, SouthAfrica-born and based, the young man makesamapiano with new ways of expressing this local-turned-global style of dance music.

In DJ Black Lows musical imagination, the songsmanage to smoothly vacillate between dreamy andfirmly-grounded.

The album references influences and ambitions inits song titles and lyrics while the music itself isanthemic in its sonic and structural aspirations. Onmany of the songs a slow-burning tensiontransforms into something unexpected until youresomewhere else as the track concludes. There isan emotional and compositional maturity that buildson his earlier work.

Despite being arelative newcomer, DJ Black Low is ontosomething here.

 

Creatrix [Coke Bottle Clear LP]
$24.98  24.98
chart cover

After spending the past 20 years in the studio, on concert stages all over the world and at the literal top of the charts, All-American Rejects co-founder Tyson Ritter didnt start Now More Than Ever in 2018 with the expectation it would turn into a real band but a real band is very much what it has become. In tandem with veteran musicians/songwriters/producers Scott Chesak and Izzy Fontaine, Ritter has begun a meaningful and exciting new chapter in his music career with Now More Than Evers debut album Creatrix, which will be released March 17, 2023, by Thirty Tigers.

To hear Ritter tell it, All-American Rejects relationship with the traditional music industry was in many ways the reason he was eager to try something different: simply making music with friends for fun, without any preconceived notions about what would, could or should happen next. In other words, no constraints, no A&Rs, no deadlines and no mandate to sound like anyone or anything other than themselves.

The fact that Ritter and Chesak have known each other for so long certainly helped jumpstart things, as the latter has been a multi-instrumentalist touring member of All-American Rejects since 2011. Chesak later segued into writing and producing for artists such as Weezer and Panic! At The Disco, a skill Ritter has long admired but had difficulty incorporating into his own creative process. As he began thinking about new music, he definitely knew he didnt want to write in the traditional sense with and for another artist in a studio. Scotty and I just got to talking and decided to write some tunes. It started that innocently.

We didnt have a name, or an idea of being a band, until probably a year after that, Chesak adds. We were kind of just writing for the purity of writing and trying to make something cool. Theres a huge folder of songs we made during that time that arent part of this project, but three or four of them showed us there was something cohesive there.

Having spent decades in the same musical scene, Ritter and Chesak were committed to a fresh approach when it came to the sound of their new work. We were kind of sick of guitar music, because we both come from the rock world, says Chesak, who handled bass, drums and keyboard duties during the sessions. So at first we made a rule: Fuck guitars. No guitars! Quickly they realized their beef wasnt with guitars per se, but rather the same old sound of the instrument. Enter Izzy Fontaine, who has worked closely behind the scenes with everyone from Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw to Seal and Banks, and came up in the industry alongside many of the same bands as Ritter and Chesak.

Now More Than Ever shimmers with that spirit of freedom, its nine tracks gracefully surfing the peaks of the past four decades of pop and rock. These are the kinds of songs that used to be on the radio and certainly still should be today the ones that make you dance, shake your ass and forget about everything else for a while. The breathless electro-rock of D-E-A-D Together and the sultry power ballad Heart To Heart best embody that vibe, while horn players from Ozomatli add an instant dance party to Candle. The 80s synth-driven closer Never You started life as a Ritter acoustic song but was quickly transformed by Chesak and Fontaine into whats now the perfect soundtrack for a vintage slow dance prom scene.

To that end, Heels Up Head Over explores those themes with a tale about a werewolf and vampire getting married, while lyrical references to the ageless cool of Joan Jett and drunk, young romance make you feel right at home in Now More Than Evers company. This is a record where there was freedom in lyric, Ritter says. When youre on a major label for 15 years, you can succumb to trying to follow your last thing. That can seep into the music in a way thats so unconscious. The joy of this band is that its completely free of any oppressive overlords, ivory towers, approval processes or co-writes that have been manufactured, licked, stamped and thrown onto the assembly line.

Now More Than Ever is here to help make sure the pillars of pop and rock will never fall, and theyre prepared to go down believing. This is our little monolith, Ritter says. It might be six feet tall amongst giants, but its pure. And its truth for us. Its saccharine as fuck, and I love it.

Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release by The Band of Heathens featuring 10 new songs.  

29:29 Split Vision [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]
$24.99  24.99
chart cover
Indie Exclusive * So named because the CD version originally clocked in time-wise at 29 minutes and 29 seconds, 29:29 Split Vision was recorded in December 1985, just after the band had split up, and they wanted to bring some closure to that period by recording the new songs they were working on at the time, alongside some of their older material that hadnt yet been properly recorded. Whilst the B-side hints at the underlying reasons the band split up the inevitable musical differences, with the three newest songs on the release literally worlds apart (excuse the pun) from their classic material - the five songs on the A-side are veritable belters, and Split Vision remains a frustratingly fascinating offering from this most unconventional of punk bands.  

EP-LP [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]
$24.99  24.99
chart cover
Indie Exclusive * The EP-LP was originally released in early 1986, after the band had split in November 1985, and collected for convenience the first four Subhumans EPs onto one disc. This includes the fiery six-track debut, Demolition War, that was first unleashed at the end of 1981, the powerful and provocative Reason For Existence and the perennial Religious Wars, both from 1982, and the intensely angry Evolution, from May 1983, whose title track rages so effectively against the senseless tragedy that is vivisection. Whilst never intended to be released as a full-length album when first recorded, most of the eighteen tracks on offer are still staples in the bands set to this day, and hang together very cohesively as an essential body of work.  

Time Flies + Rats [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Deep Purple LP]
$24.99  24.99

Indie Exclusive * As the title suggests, this 1986 album compiled the eight-track Time Flies But Aeroplanes Crash 12, originally recorded and released in 1983, and the four-track EP, Rats, that had been recorded during the summer of 1984 and released in early 85. Rats might just be the bands most powerful and compelling release, the title track inspired by the Stop The City protests of 84 that sought to highlight the undeniable links between first world capitalism and third world poverty. Whilst its something of a mish-mash, with several rowdy live tracks and a few, very enjoyable re-recordings of old Stupid Humans songs (Stupid Humans being guitarist Bruces pre-Subhumans band), it contains two of the Subhumans best-loved tracks, Work Rest Play Die and Susan, the latter something of an oddity as its a stirring piano piece, with lyrics written by Steve Hamilton, an old friend of the band.

Expendables [LP]
$23.98  23.98
chart cover

If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES wealth would be off thecharts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxzn (Refused, INVSN,The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls AgainstBoys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites ofSpring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.

However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinventionthat sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into themelodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a popsensibility thats slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. For our
last record [2019s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70s U.K.punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe aswell, like the Vibrators meets Aerosmith. We never saw that coming! ,Baker explains.

For Expendables the band enlisted producer Adam Atom Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Baker explains, The pop influences are alittle more out front on this one and the production really helps it shine. It sounds more direct, more urgent.Expendables is the latest exchange in a musical conversation that spans four decades. Baker aptly refers to the lineup of FAKE NAMESas a mutual admiration society and says that once the five members got in the same room together, it felt as if they had already been inthe band together for years.

Honky Chateau: 50th Anniversary [2LP]
$37.99  37.99
chart cover
Released in May 1972, Honky Chteau was the album that made Elton John a superstar and ushered in a new era for him.

Named after the residential studios outside Paris where the album was recorded, Honky Chteau bought a new level of simplicity and directness to Eltons music that had previously only been seen in glimpses. Shorn of the complexities and ornate orchestrations of his recent work, Honky Chateau seemed freewheeling and intimate. It was helped by Rocket Man, the record which became another of Eltons signature songs.

These special editions contain the original album, and on both vinyl and CD editions a newly created selection of outtakes from the sessions, produced from the original tapes by Matt Still, which highlight the warmth and humor of the sessions.

On CD only there are eight tracks from the album that were recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in 1972, all receiving their live debut, just a few days back in the UK after recording. Assembled with the customary care by Eltons catalog team, the album comes as a gatefold with an eight-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia and an essay by co-curator and music writer Daryl Easlea, featuring interviews from those who were there.

Honky Chteau has been mastered at Lurssen in California, and the vinyl cut at Abbey Road.

Glimpse of Heaven [Pink & Blue Swirl LP]
$23.98  23.98
chart cover

Felte Records presents Glimpse Of Heaven a stunning newalbum by the Hawaii-born, LA-based musician, singer, producerand professional mastering engineer Jess Labrador,AKA Chasms.

Labradors deeply personal work as Chasms has always felt likean unveiling. Following 2019s The Mirage, which was a dark,dubby meditation on grief and loss, this new album is bothfamiliar and different. The third full-length under the Chasmsname, Glimpse of Heaventrades in washes of reverb forstarker moments of closeness and intimacy. An exploration ofthe personal inventory and reckoning necessary to moveforward in life, the LP considers not only how we relate to theworld, but more importantly how we relate to ourselves.

While always distinct, you could previously detect post-punk,shoegaze, and dub sensibilities in the music. Dreamy drifttethered by skittered beats, airy vocals, and melancholicmelodies are here like previous efforts too. However, at thesame time, Labrador steps into new territory with an expanse ofvaporous synths and samples, adding to the projects etherealelectronic pop and dubwise pulse. Lush guitars glistenthroughout the album, but this time only in sparse, disciplinedembellishments. Glimpse of Heavenis a fully realised versionof Chasms beyond its influences; to say that this is a seamlessevocation of such disparate sounds as Massive Attack, BasicChanel, Sade, Seefeel and Dif Juz is to say it is wholly unique.While she continues to unfurl her thoughts, there is a shift fromopening up to the listener toward allowing the listener to witnessher opening to herself.

Good Luck [Loser Edition Metallic Silver LP]
$24.98  24.98
chart cover
The usual boom-and-bust cycles of growing up - breaking down, gathering the strength to get up, fumbling hard, doing it all over again - can feel unmooring, to say the least, but, and according to Debby Friday, it's tragedies and glories need savoring. Losing illusions, gaining expectations; getting deep into the private, soupy kaleidoscope of what's possible and what's futile - GOOD LUCK, her debut, and supernovic, full-length album, is built on welcoming the journey's complicated drops and mountain highs with something more like grace.Nigerian-born, then an emigré to bits of Canada - from Montreal to Vancouver to Toronto - Debby Friday's roamings through space and time really began when the sun fell. Nightlife was her emancipation from the toughness of home life, and she fell into it, body and soul, totally seduced. Raves til sunrise; house music in unknown basements and warehouses - the lure of the party was the perfect escape. Things that feel good sometimes do fall apart, though. In 2017, after DJing for less than a year, nothing was going the way that she wanted it to go. So she gathered her things and embarked on what would turn out to be the first of a few of her coming-of-age stories. After making the decision to stop herself in her tracks, she pulverized new paths for herself forward. Late-night YouTube tutorials on music production led to an EP, BITCHPUNK, and BITCHPUNK led to her first public performances, and all that gave way to a second EP, DEATH DRIVE. Her art endowed her with the strength she needed to move on. "This is what I was born to do," she goes. "It came to me so naturally and instinctively."So what does it take to hone that power? Discipline - routines, rituals; an MFA, practices of writing and filmmaking, and music-making that guide a person from one day to the next - but something close to mysticism, too. DEBBY'S serious study of astrology, psychology, and philosophy allow her to move through the world, relate to others, and get closer to what's inside her. She believes in what emerges. She believes in making the unconscious conscious. She wants to be in dialogue with the darkness.It's why GOOD LUCK works like such a study in entropy. On the surface, you'll hear smears of Santigold's dub dazzle, the MIDI-crush of Death Grips, but less obviously the plaintiveness of directors like Eric Rohmer, or the grotesque decadence of later-era Sylvia Plath. (Juno Award and Polaris Prize-nominated composer Graham Walsh adds a sort of heft and pull to the genre-flexibility on parade here: think of it a little like Sevdaliza meets FKA Twigs.) Few do it like her, though, and GOOD LUCK spans from lucid, acid housey, high-BPM tracks to melancholia and darkness to striking falsetto pop with assuredness and aplomb. The album GOOD LUCK is being co-released with a short film of the same name, co-directed by FRIDAY and Nathan de Paz Habib (past work includes Eroica, based on Chino Amobi's novel of the same name). It's a story of individuation. It's a love story about a woman and her masked beloved, but outside of the accompanying-but-stand-alone visual, it's all a willing, yearning investigation into what goes on behind the veil of sadness, of cruelty. Because knowing the darkness is the only way to understand the light, but also the greys and the blues and the in-between states. FRIDAY's explorations in GOOD LUCK - delving down into the muck of nuance - are a kind of courage.

Mlusine
$14.98  14.98
chart cover

Nonesuch Records releases Ccile McLorin SalvantsMlusine on CD March 24, 2023 and LP on May 19, 2023. Mlusine features a mix of five originals and interpretations of nine songs, dating as far back as the twelfth century, mostly sung in French along with Occitan, English, and Haitian Kreyol.

The new albums songs tell the story of the European folkloric legend of Mlusine, a woman who turns into a half-snake each Saturday as a result of a childhood curse by her mother. Mlusine later agrees to marry Raymondin on the condition that he never see her on Saturdays. He agrees but is ultimately convinced by his brother to break his promise, piercing his wifes door with his sword and finding her naked in the bath, half snake, half woman. When she catches him spying on her, she turns into a dragon and flies out the window, only to reappear every time one of her descendants is on their deathbed.

Salvant, whose parents are French and Haitian, saysMlusine is also partly about that feeling of being a hybrid, a mixture of different cultures, which Ive experienced not only as the American-born child of two first generation immigrants, but as someone raised in a family that is racially mixed, from several different countries, with different languages spoken in the home.

 

Fish Bowl [LP]
$23.98  23.98
chart cover

As badly as we want our trajectory to be linear and to make logical sense, sometimes life has other plans for us. We have to listen to that little voice within, whispering: rebel against the status quo. This has been the experience of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Kate Davis, where she hits the brakes on the life she thought she knew, grabbed the creative reins and rebuilt her artistic foundation. As she walks away from her previous life as a conservatory-trained jazz musician and into her future as an experi- mental art-rock singer, Davis has found a new home within herself. Growing up in Portland, Davis later moved to New York City to attend the Manhattan School Of Music. At night, Davis would sneak down to Brooklyn, where she watched indie-rock innovators Grizzly Bear and the Dirty Projectors and se- cretly dreamed of breaking away from the academic rigor of the jazz world she inhabited. With time, Davis found a way to take control of her musical destiny and define her own path, which is illustrated with vivid clarity on the highly conceptual Fish Bowl, coming three years after her debut album, Trophy. This coming-of-age story is at the heart of Davis sophomore album, Fish Bowl, coming soon via her new label home of ANTI- Records.

Across Fish Bowls 12 deeply personal tracks, Davis traces her very own he- ros journey, from the moment she steps away from her old life to the moment she finds inner peace. She follows these steps through the eyes of Fish Bowls central character, FiBo, who starts out on opening track Monster Mash realizing the community she cultivated has turned on her and starts to seek real change. Leading the entire creative process, Davis wove multiple genres art-rock, pop, and folk into an intricate, unique tapestry of sound.. As she steps into an exciting new stage of her music career, Davis is taking the very meticulousness she developed from her years in the jazz world and applying them to Fish Bowl. Like genre pillar John Coltrane, Davis is transitioning to a more musically spiritual place a place where rules dont matter, experimen- talism is encouraged, and change is part of ones natural progression as an artist. As Davis continues to push forward with clear-eyed determination, the indie-rock world is about to gain a new sonic voyager.

From the streets of Venice Beach CA, come Ottto, the electric eclectic funk-punk-rock stew who release their first full-length studio album Life Is A Game on March 24th, 2023. Bassist Tye Trujillo, lead vocalist/guitar Bryan Noah Ferretti, and drummer Triko Chavez spill their aggressive groove centric vibe throughout the 10 track, Tim Harkins (Korn, Jerry Cantrell) produced album, as Ottto lead the charge on a full-tilt Old School giant riff revival with pride and raw, unfettered passion. Double-stuffed with melody, Ottto throw it all down within a potent DIY punk attitude, infused with plenty of alternative chemical imbalance! "My Pain", "Skyscraper" and the ultra-dynamic "Night Howlers" are loaded with the sort of grease, grime, and funkified riffage that can only come from the hearts and minds of unpasteurized, raw warriors. If Life Is A Game then Ottto are going at it hard, fast, and without any traditional rules.

The Artist In The Ambulance [Green LP]
$25.98  25.98
chart cover

The question has to be asked: Why would Thrice re-record a 20 year old album? Here's what the members of Thrice had to say in regards to The Artist In The Ambulance - Revisited.

"The core of the answer is that it simply sounded fun and we were curious. What would it sound like to play these old songs after 20 years of playing and singing under our belts? We know that playing the revisionist is a dangerous game so we were always a little uneasy about trying to go back and mess with something that people loved, people who had none of the hang-ups about the record that we did. But, since we decided to do this anyway, we tried to let that wariness guide us in how we approached the record, and in the end we decided to make very minimal structural changes. At the end of the day, what we wanted the record to sound like for fans is that somehow one of their old favorite records got a new lease on life, but that it hadn't lost it's soul or turned into something else."

 

Ten Stories High [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Yellow, Blue & Black Twist LP]
$27.98  27.98

"During the pandemic, we started a Patreon page. Through the Patreon page, ten people purchased a song we would write for them after having a zoom chat with the band. The stories we heard in those conversations created foundations for the lyrics that evolved into ten different songs. A year or so later we decided to take them into the studio to create a new album. During the studio sessions, we realized we wanted a song to summarize the process and tell the story of the project. One afternoon during the session we came up with the title 10 Stories High and matched it up with a melody that Pete and Bryan had recorded earlier on their phones. We really liked how the title added imagery of ten people in a ten-story building living out their own external and internal experiences. It was a perfect summary to the project. After a few hours of tinkering with the music and words we had our title track for the record."

Limited Loser Edition on shiny gray matter colored vinyl.. The world is filling up with trash. Humanity remains addicted to pollution. People are downing horse dewormer because some goober on television told them it cured COVID. The apocalypse is stupider than anyone could've predicted.Fortunately, the absurdities of modern life have always been prime subject matter for Seattle-based foursome Mudhoney, and the band take aim at all of them with typical barbed humor and muck-encrusted riffs on on 11th studio album, Plastic Eternity, which was recorded over nine days at Crackle & Pop! In Seattle with longtime producer Johnny Sangster.From taking on climate change from the perspective of the climate if the climate tried to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix ("Cry Me An Atmospheric River") to a driving rock and roll song about taking drugs meant for livestock ("Here Comes the Flood") to a classic punk attack on treating humans like livestock ("Human Stock Capital"), Plastic Eternity is a run through all the proto-genres of guitar rock with a keen eye on the inanities of the world in the 2020's. It also contains a genuine love song in closing track "Little Dogs," an ode to the simple joys of hanging out with tiny canines.Mudhoney (vocalist Mark Arm, guitarist Steve Turner, bassist Guy Maddison, and drummer Dan Peters) remain the ur underground group, their gnarly primordial punk stew and Arm's sharply funny lyrics as potent a combination as they've been since the band's formation in the late 1980s. When asked why they continue making records nearly four decades after forming, Arm's answer is simple."We like each other and we like being in a band together," says Arm. "Some people have poker night or whatever the fuck, and they have the excuse to get together with their friends. For us, this [band] is that. This is what we do."

Rat Saw God [Purple LP]
$25.98  25.98
chart cover

A Wednesday song is a quilt. A short story collection, a half-memory,a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate momentsthat somehow make sense as a whole. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector asmuch as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. RatSaw God, the Asheville quintets new and best record, is ekphrastic butautobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Across the albums tentracks Hartzman, guitarist MJ Lenderman, bassist Margo Shultz, drummerAlan Miller, and lap/pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis build a shrine tominutiae. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from North Carolina unfurlingsomewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classiccountry twang, that distorted lap steel and Hartzmans voice slicingthrough the din.

Rat Saw God is an album about riding a bike down a suburban stretchin Greensboro while listening to My Bloody Valentine for the first time onan iPod Nano, past a creek that runs through the neighborhood riddledwith broken glass bottles and condoms, a front yard filled with brokenand rusted car parts, a lonely and dilapidated house reclaimed by kudzu.Four Lokos and rodeo clowns and a kid who burns down a corn field.Roadside monuments, church marquees, poppers and vodka in a plasticwater bottle, the shit you get away with at Jewish summer camp, strangesentimental family heirlooms at the thrift stores. The way the South humsalive all night in the summers and into fall, the sound of high schoolfootball games, the halo effect from the lights polluting the darkness. Itsnot really bright enough to see in front of you, but in that stretch of inkyvoid somehow you see everything.

The songs on Rat Saw God dont recount epics, just the everyday.Theyre true, theyre real life, blurry and chaotic and strange which isin-line with Hartzmans own ethos: Everyones story is worthy, she says,plainly. Literally every life story is worth writing down, because peopleare so fascinating.

As a bold departure from YOUNGs sparse electronic pop and the atmospheric indie-rock of The Fight (a 2020 release that nabbed them a Breakthrough Artist nomination from the American Association of Independent Music), the album encompasses a warm and luminous sound sculpted from a tightly curated mix of elements: earthy guitar tones, elegantly rugged textures, and the duos heavenly harmonies. In staying true to their origins, Overcoats also incorporated frenetic beats that perfectly echo New Yorks pulsating electricity.

In November, Overcoats released their first new song since 2021, Horsegirl, also featured on the upcoming new album. Produced and co-written with Day Wave, the lilting, dreamy Horsegirl sees Overcoats crafting a hypnotic, hum-in-the-sun pop song.

Having previously toured with such notable artists as Mitski, Maggie Rogers, Cold War Kids, Tennis and The Japanese House, Overcoats look forward to returning to the road this spring. 2023 promises to be a significant year for the acclaimed band, with more new music to be unveiled over the coming weeks.

"Midnight Madonna" was released on the Earbook edition of The Sacrament Of Sin, while fans from France will know "Bte du Gvaudan" as the French version of the hit single "Beast Of Gevaudan" from an exclusive single version.

The 10 songs on the special album were produced by the outstanding quartet of Joost van den Broek, Jacob Hansen, Jens Bogren and Fredrik Nordstrm. The impressive artwork was crafted by the exceptional Zsofia Dankova once again.

Interludium comes in several editions, most of them containing another exciting surprise: the bonus album Communio Lupatum II, where eleven befriended bands like Eisbrecher, Electric Callboy, Korpiklaani and Rage cover some of the biggest hits of POWERWOLFs career. More limited versions also contain the second bonus album Interludium Orchestrale, containing eight orchestral versions of the album tracks.

Arriving shortly after their very first North American shows, one of the biggest shows of the bands career - the (Un-)Holy Easter Mass in Cologne (album release show) - and before several headline summer festival appearances, with Interludium, the whole world will once again be under the spell of the wolfpack in 2023!

 

Sahara Swing [RSD Essential Indie Colorway Clear 2LP]
$32.99  32.99
chart cover
Indie Exclusive * First time on colored vinyl * Karl Hector has teamed up with Jay Whitefield (producer and guitarist for the Poets of Rhythm and the Whitefield Brothers, and founder of the now defunct Hotpie & Candy Records) and Thomas Myland and Zdenko Curlinja, founders of the Malcouns. Alongside Bo Baral, other members of the Poets of Rhythm and crack Munich-based session musicians, Whitefield, Myland and Curlija have crafted nearly twenty tracks that follow the musical roads that Hector has travelled. The underlying groove that ties these ideas together, of course, is as rooted is James Brown as it is Fela Kuti. As informed by Mulatu Astatke of Ethiopia as it is by Jean-Claude Vannier and Can. This is an album of the world. Not "world music"- but that will appeal to any culture ever transfixed by rhythm on "the one."
