Angine De Poitrine       Vol. II   

Microtonal cardboard duo that has to be seen to be believed. Check out their recent KEXP performance. Vol. II stretches the boundaries of Angine de Poitrine’s sound with even bolder, more dynamic structures. Once again, three essential forces fuel the duo’s music: acid techno, disco, and rock.

deary   Birding

Their full-length debut runs the gamut from soaring shoegaze riffs to cloud-light sprinkles of ethereal indie.

L.Y.R.    Dark Sky Reservation 

The musical project of UK poet laureate Simon Armitage, producer and multi-instrumentalist Patrick J. Pearson and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Richard Walters, what began as a creative correspondence experiment, once described as a ‘genre-splicing supergroup’.

Jim Jones All Stars       Cat Fight           

A new collection that encapsulates their exhilarating collision of Little Richard’s primal rock & roll and the straight-up fury of MC5 and The Stooges to a tee.

Simon Love      The One True Prince of Wales (in exile after abduction)        

An old-fashioned pop record chock full of love and cynicism, weaving his singularly offbeat observations with more serious subject matter as he grapples with grief, displacement and the pull of home.

Billy Fuller        Fragments        

Neu-esque repetitions and motorik grooves pulse beneath skewed electro textures, and occasional spoken-word passages drift in and out like transmissions from an unknown broadcast. Occasional flashes of psychedelic prog guitar cut through hazy atmospheres, edging the sound further toward Fuller’s own kind of hypnagogic pop

Jarboe                Sightings           

From the variations of a bird’s song to immersive ambient pieces, the album is a testament to Jarboe’s “one-of-a-kind vocal talent”. The album includes collaborators Thor Harris (Swans, Shearwater, Bill Callahan, Thor & Friends), Andrea Calderon, Brett Robinson, Chiara Lee and Freddie Murphy.

A Place to Bury Strangers         Rare & Deadly

Regularly cited as “the loudest band in New York”. The album is made-up of demos, B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments from across the last decade. The CD, cassette, vinyl, and digital editions of the new record each feature their own unique tracklisting. No single version contains the “complete” album. Instead, each release becomes its own window into the archive, revealing alternate paths, missing links, and parallel versions of the band’s inner life.

Arlo Parks         Ambiguous Desire      

Her third album brings her most vulnerable, self-affirming & euphoric music to date.

BCUC   Higher Vibes   

Their fifth album feels like a gospel sermon colliding with a punk concert – 10 brand new songs drawing you into an Afro-psychedelic stream of consciousness deeply rooted in history of the ones who came before.

 

Joseph Arthur                 You’re Not A Ghost Anymore: Faith    

First part of a trio of works from American singer-songwriter, painter, and multidisciplinary artist whose work lives at the intersection of music, visual art, and inner inquiry.

Masca                Love Letters    

Debut by a group inspired by chasing that moment when melody meets riff, and everything clicks.

Ber        Good, Like It Should Be

Red Vanilla       Where I Should Be EP

The first fully acoustic release from alt-rock band.

sunn O)))            sunn O)))           

On this album O’Malley and Anderson found fresh possibilities in the primal territory of the duo format, performing all the instrumentation themselves.

Philine Sonny                 Virgin Lake       

Partially inspired by Benedict Wells’ novel Hard Land, Virgin Lake is a portrait of the singer’s personal growth in the face of familial estrangement and the spectrum of emotions that entails anger, sorrow, grief, compassion, and understanding

Ultrabomb        The Bridges That We Burn       

The trio channel decades of punk history into music that remains immediate, confrontational, and vital

David Aaron Greenberg             Trap Poems      

Greenberg expands on contemporary oral traditions, settings the stage for a dialogue between word and form by continuing in the lineage of Jazz and Nuyorican poets of the late 20th century.

Poison Ruin      Hymn From The Hills 

The Philadelphia punks have expanded their signature approach to grim mythmaking and scythe-swinging aggression in bold new directions, offering up a new body of songs that strike one as equal parts natural, undeniably of this world, and phantasmal.

Grade 2              Talk About It    

Young British punk band with an album that’s both a reflection of their personal struggles and a rallying cry for a generation.

No Terror in the Bang   Existence         

They forge a cinematic form of progressive metal steeped in tension and contrast, where fragility collides with fury in a vivid sonic chiaroscuro.

Sophia Yau-Weeks       Misty Mountain             

Embracing organic artistic expression and collaboration, Misty Mountain explores themes of love and relationships, grief and trauma, and resilience and collectivism, while drawing sonic inspiration from the likes of Nick Drake and Big Thief.

Radwan Ghazi Moumneh & Frédéric D. Oberland      Eternal Life      

Electronics entangle acoustic instruments and synthesis integrates with traditional forms, forging a sound world both structured and fractured, fragile and luminous, contemplative and charged, charting a space between memory and invention, between the personal, mystical, and political.

Alex Paxton      Candyfolk Space Drum           

An exuberant wonderwork infused with dance music, electronic music, jazz and a children’s choir, inspired by cartoons, pirate radio ads, internet age fragmentation.

The Shits           Diet of Worms

Primal rock boiled down to its essence and flung full in your face. Using repetition, tortured vocal invective and heads-down intensity as blunt instruments.

Zackary Baker                Dark Horse      

Solo debut from founding member of Avenge Sevenfold on which he trades distortion for dust and grit, while simultaneously carving out his own lane in the alt-country/outlaw landscape.

Void of Light     Asymmetries  

A towering five-track work of crushing post-metal, vast, dynamic, and emotionally unflinching.

Through N Through       Through N Through      

Still true to the essence of hardcore but injected with a thrash metal firestorm

Sam Barber      Broken View

Emma Harner  Evening Star   

Across the album’s 11 tracks, she showcases her signature blend of intricate guitar work and emotionally direct songwriting.

Hiding Places                 The Secret To Good Living       

They draw from the collage-like indie rock of Yo La Tengo, the elegant slowcore of The New Year, the riffy story-songs of Drive-By Truckers, and the analogue hum of The Microphones.
