Down In The Valley exclusive Opaque Tri-Color Vinyl Limited to 300 copies

This EP features a collection of songs written with Katie Crutchfield's now-dormant experimental recording group Great Thunder while she was also writing the Waxahatchee albums�Cerulean Salt�and�Ivy Tripp. The original recordings have mostly faded into obscurity, but unearthing and reimagining them with producer Brad Cook at Justin Vernon's April Base studio in Wisconsin was a cathartic experience, she says. On the heels of last year's critically acclaimed�Out in the Storm, Crutchfield found herself looking to take a sharp turn away from the more rock-oriented influences of her recent records towards her more folk and country roots. "I would say that it is a complete 180 from the last record: super stripped-down, quiet, and with me performing solo, it's a throwback to how I started."

The Valley of Vision is a 27-minute, breakthrough salvo of six songs that finds the band re-inspired once again, & is accompanied by an album length film shot in VR + 3D computed radiography technology. Andy Hull was inspired to start writing the record while rummaging around in his suitcase looking for his lyric notebook & instead found�The Valley of Vision, a 1975 book of old Puritan prayers his mom had given to him the previous Christmas. Capital Karma is the first new music from the project.

72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told �who we are� by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.�

-James Hetfield

Pushing forward with the intensely self-aware truth-telling he�s always brought to his music, Ruston Kelly immersed himself in the making of The Weakness: a blisteringly honest, but profoundly hopeful album that reveals our potential to create strength and beauty from painful experiences. �I hope this music helps people become the hero of their own lives by understanding their own weaknesses, and I hope it helps them to see that tragedy doesn�t have to be the period at the end of the sentence.�

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio de la Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a success. It contains the singles, "Me Myself and I", "The Magic Number, " "Buddy, " and "Eye Know". The album title came from the Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High and Rising". It is listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held it's annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, de la Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and I". Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a "hippie" group, based on their declaration of the "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap).

Five-time GRAMMY� award winning and multi-platinum selling icon, Shania Twain, announces her new album, Queen Of Me, out February 3, 2023 on Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records. Her sixth original full-length album, Queen Of Me, is the superstar's most triumphant-feeling body of work; an album about standing in your own power and worshipping yourself. Its lead single �Waking Up Dreaming� was co-written and produced with BTS hitmaker David Stewart.

Following the global success of the unstoppable single �Unholy� featuring pop diva Kim Petras, Sam Smith will be releasing their fourth studio album, Gloria, on January 27, 2023. The 13-track record will be Sam�s boldest statement yet and comes off the back of an undeniable run of success with the lead single from the album.

�Cracker Island� is the eighth studio album from Gorillaz, an energetic, upbeat,�genre-expansive collection of 10 tracks featuring yet another stellar line-up of artist collaborators: Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny, Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo, Bootie Brown and Beck. Recorded in London and LA earlier this year, it is produced by Gorillaz, Remi Kabaka jr. and eight-time Grammy Award-winning producer / multi-instrumentalist / songwriter extraordinaire Greg Kurstin. Title track �Cracker Island� kickstarted the new campaign this Summer hitting the charts across the globe with a top 10 video racking up 10M views in 10 days. The virtual band exploded onto TikTok gaining over 2.1 m followers in the space of a few months where they continue to innovate, taking virtual characters where no character has been before�

Recorded and largely self-produced in Nashville with the help of close friend and engineer Jeremy Ferguson, Asking for a Ride finds the Louisville band taking a more direct and in-your-face approach, prioritizing the collection�s raw energy and its ability to translate live through ripping and nervy compositions. It�s White Reaper at their most exciting - dialing up the chrome-plated riffs and monster hooks � a welcome reminder of just how much fun rock music can be. �We ask ourselves: �Does it sound good when we play it in the room together?� And if it does, those are the songs we want to pursue,� vocalist/guitarist Tony Esposito noted. Guitarist Hunter Thompson concurred: �We started to recognize how we operate best as a band.�

Tyler Hubbard will be releasing his debut solo album on January 27^th.�With 19 No. 1 singles on country radio, countless awards, and sold-out tours, Tyler Hubbard has already had a remarkable career as a songwriter and as one half of multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line. Now,�Hubbard is embarking on a solo career with his debut solo album�Tyler Hubbard.�The 18-track�album includes his hit single �5 Foot 9� and the songs �Dancin� In The Country� and �Small Town Me�. The self-titled project was produced by Hubbard and Jordan Schmidt with Hubbard writing on all of the tracks.� This Double LP will be special Cobalt Blue Vinyl.

Nimrod, Green Day�s fifth studio album, was originally released on October 14 1997. The Billboard Top 10 LP declared �Green Days best!� by Kerrang�was driven by the hit singles �Hitchin� A Ride�, �Redundant�, �Nice Guys Finish Last� and �Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)� the latter of which has sold 5 million copies in the US alone.� The song was written as a spiteful ballad and has evolved into the soundtrack of everyone�s seminal life moments; even being featured in the Seinfeld series finale.� The album has sold over 3 million copies in the US (triple platinum) and has been certified multi-platinum, platinum, or gold in several other countries, including the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia and Spain.

This 25^th Anniversary Edition includes the original album, one disc of previously unreleased Nimrod demos, and a live set from Philadelphia recorded one month after Nimrod was released.�

The 14 track demos disc includes two unreleased Green Day tracks (�You Irritate Me� and �Tre Polka�), plus a cover of the classic Elvis Costello song �Allison� (previously unreleased).

The live album was recorded at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on November 14 1997. The 20-song set includes several songs from Nimrod, plus fan favorites from their previous albums and singles.�

Widely acknowledged as one of the most influential artists and dynamic live performers of all time,�Iggy�Pop is a singer, songwriter, musician, author, record producer, DJ, and actor whose epic body of work has earned him both worldwide critical acclaim and fanatic cult success.

Atlantic Records�has announced an exclusive partnership with�Gold Tooth Records,�founded by�GRAMMY� Award-winning and multi-platinum producer�Andrew Watt.�In addition, the one and only�Iggy�Pop�is the first artist signed to this joint venture. The GRAMMY� Lifetime Achievement Award honoree and�Godfather of Punk shared he will make his label debut on�October 28�with �Frenzy,� the first single off�Iggy�s forthcoming album,�Beginning in 1967 with his era-defining group The Stooges, Pop merged primal rock, blues, and free jazz into something altogether dangerous and new, paving the way for punk, post-punk, hard rock, and grunge. His landmark solo career � which kicked off with 1977�s David Bowie-produced�The Idiot�and�Lust For Life�� has seen Pop traverse a stunning span of musical genres, inspiring generation after generation of rock �n rollers with his iconoclastic songcraft, uncompromising performance style, and one-of-a-kind charisma. Perhaps the greatest living embodiment of rock & roll, Pop has never slowed down, pushing the art form forward for more than half a century, including his most recent full length recording, 2019�s contemplative, critically acclaimed�Free.

Paramore are back with their first new music since 2017. The beloved Nashville-based trio of Zac Farro, Hayley Williams& Taylor Yorkhave returned from their hiatus -and the global pandemic -with �This Is Why�, one of the best songs of their already impressive repertoire. In what�s widely recognized as one of the most exciting musical returns of the year, the band have also announced the release of their long awaited sixth studio album, This is Why, for February 10th 2023. Recorded in Los Angeles, California with long-time collaborator Carlos de la Garza, the album features 10 new Paramore songs with cover art shot by Zachary Gray.

Entering back into a world -and cultural landscape -very different from the one they last participated in, Paramore have returned with a song about exactly that. �This Is Why� is a deliciously infectious Paramore ear-worm for the post-truth world. Of the song, Williams says, �This Is Why was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album. It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years. You�d think after a global pandemic of fucking biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something.�

When Paramore revealed they were recording together in January 2022 the response from music fans around the world was immediate and celebratory. In the time since the Grammy-winning, RIAA-certified multi-Platinum band released their last album, After Laughter-and Hayley Williams unveiled two lauded solo albums -Paramore have become more popular than ever.� Over the last few years Paramore�s influence and popularity has snowballed, as the age of streaming organically propelled them into a position as one of the world�s biggest, most culturally compelling rock bands. For the band, who formed as teenagers in Tennessee, their 20 year trajectory has seen them grow from youthful outsiders to bone-fide pop culture icons, permeating the musical landscape by inspiring a new generation of musical talent.

With her spellbinding voice and time-bending sensibilities, Sierra Ferrell makes music that�s as fantastically vagabond as the artist herself. On her highly anticipated Rounder debut Long Time Coming, Ferrell shares a dozen songs beautifully unbound by genre or era, instantly transporting her audience to an infinitely more enchanted world.

The seventh installment in his Madlib Medicine Show, a jazz album with his Yesterdays New Quintet called High Jazz. Madlib�s been busy this year. And while his recorded output always spans the gamut, he often returns to recurrent themes, spread across the genres that serve as home base � or bases, as it were. Jazz is one such base.�With High Jazz, Madlib begins anew � offering familiar jazz sounds from a series of �new� groups from his ever-augmenting cosmos. Call it �Yesterdays Galaxy.� High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis�s Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked development in Madlib�s craft. Every element of jazz is there. Is that tune modal-funk? Was that song psych-fusion? Was that a bossa-tinged run or another kind of latin-affair? Where did that sitar come from? Madlib�s Yesterdays-excursions are never easy to categorize and that�s the point � while experiencing chops like these, the desire to rigidly define takes a back seat to aural pleasure.

From �Taxman� to �Tomorrow Never Knows,� The Beatles� REVOLVER has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell, and sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes with audio brought forth in stunning clarity with the help of cutting-edge technology developed by the award-winning sound team at Peter Jackson�s WingNutFilms Productions Ltd.� Now available on 180g vinyl.

**UPDATE sold out, sort of** We always hold a portion of our exclusives for our local customers at our 3 stores in Minnesota. Our buddies Darkside Records might have a few left so hustle over there and smash the pre-order button. � (link below)

Down In The Valley, in conjunction with our record store buds Darkside Records of New York have teamed up for our next exclusive vinyl release - Hop Along's 2015 album Painted Shut!

This exclusive pressing is strictly limited to 300 copies and evenly split between Darkside and Down In The Valley.

Hailing from Philly, Hop Along began as an acoustic freak folk solo project known as Hop Along, Queen Ansleis in 2004, during Frances Quinlan's senior year in high school. In October 2014, Hop Along signed to Saddle Creek Records and released their third studio album.

The album was co-produced, recorded and mixed by John Agnello in at Headroom Studios, in Philadelphia and Fluxivity Studios in Brooklyn. The album's addresses topics such as poverty, abuse and mental illness. The album's seventh track "Powerful Man" is based on an experience Quinlan had as a teenager, where they claim to have witnessed a young child being physically abused by their father. Quinlan admitted that the track was the first time they had felt uneasy about sharing lyrics, due to their personal nature.

"There�s part of me that thinks, is anyone going to care if I yell at this man? [...] There is something about parents hitting their kids, it�s just such a weird thing that we allow [...] The craziest thing was he saw us, looked us in the face, and had no reaction. It just didn�t register that we were any threat. And then he said �She�s not gonna help you.� He felt nothing that we were there. It in no way affected his behavior." -Frances Quinlan

Pitchfork likened the album's style to the "romantic, middle-American indie" of artists such as Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley, while crediting punk rock for the band's energy.

Release Date: 9/23/22

This is an exclusive to Down In The Valley, limited to 350 copies on Purple Black & Silver Galaxy vinyl. Stemming out of an offer from Roadburn Festival organizer Walter Hoeijmakers, mutual acquaintances, and a shared love of each other's output, May Our Chambers Be Full is the first recorded document of collaboration between Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou. While their solo material seems on it's face to be quite disparate, both groups have spent their respective careers lurking at the outer boundaries of the heavy metal scene, the artists having more in common with DIY punk and it's spiritual successor, grunge. May Our Chambers Be Full straddles a similar, very fine line both musically and thematically. While Emma Ruth Rundle's standard fare is a blend of post-rock-infused folk music, and Thou is typically known for it's downtuned, doomy sludge, the conjoining of the two artists has created a record more in the vein of the early '90s Seattle sound and later '90s episodes of Alternative Nation, while still retaining much of the artists' core identities. Likewise, the lyrical content of the album is a marriage of mental trauma, existential crises, and the ecstatic tradition of the expressionist dance movement. "Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps." Melodic, melancholic, heavy, visceral. The visual art accompanying this work was created in collaboration with preeminent New Orleans photographer Craig Mulcahy. The faceless, genderless models are meant to emphasize this pervasive state of ambiguity and emotional vacillation, the images falling somewhere between modern high fashion and classical Renaissance.

Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Trampled By Turtles' 9th studio album Alpenglow showcases the maturity of the beloved indie-folk band, centering�on life's moments of change and transition.

Originally released in 1992, the two songs on Drive Like Jehu's sole 7-inch display a harnessing of powers first introduced on their self-titled record from the previous year and later fully realized on their final album, 1994�s Yank Crime.

While recording �Bullet Train to Vegas� on the UCSD campus (drummer/producer Mark Trombino �borrowed� mics and cables from the theatre department next door), guitarist John Reis felt the urge to pick up a trash can and chuck it across the room. It�s the crash that you hear just as Trombino and bassist Mike Kennedy engage, and you may feel a similar urge to do the same while listening to its unrelenting rhythms. �Hand Over Fist� slows things down slightly but by no means muffles the quartet�s ferocity or Rick Froberg�s trademark howl.

Twin Cities Exclusive on emerald green vinyl is limited to only 250 copies exclusively at Down In The Valley and the Electric Fetus.� All of our copies are autographed.�

Brotherkenzie is the solo output from Minneapolis producer and songwriter Nathan Stocker � and, through the project, lives in the shadows, operating on the outskirts of the music industry, something he�s grown increasingly less interested in as he ages. Brotherkenzie�s music is a chasm carved from honesty and earnestness, the result teetering between catchiness and pop, but with sharp edges.

On the cover of�Nathan, Stocker is about to be enveloped by an enormous black box in a deadened Minnesotan sprawl, framed by the eeriness of placid blue skies, the suggestion of a cold wind. It�s like a snapshot of calm caught in a moment before something�bad�happens, but you don�t know quite what that�bad�is yet. The looming black mass is a physical manifestation of narcissism � and�Nathan�is an exhaustive exploration of that. It�s an artifact of what happens when you listen to, and obey, your demons. A final look-a-round at the dirt you�ve known your whole life before descending to the eternal what-have-you.

The record is a re-introduction to Stocker�s solo output as brotherkenzie; his last release, 2020�s�BIG WHAT�closed the first chapter of the project, while�Nathan�explores the afterlife of a creative death. The 12 songs collected here are intended to signify a new brotherkenzie era: one embracing sex and heathen ideals. Even the title vies for blasphemy; Stocker�s attempt to divorce his first name from its loaded religious meaning and instead take ownership of it. It�d be easy to say it�s in response to Stocker�s deeply religious upbringing, but that�s too simple � instead, it�s an exercise in �what if�s?,� leaning into the dark side, interested in exploring what it means to be satanic without ever mentioning a devil � or any type of God, or religion � by name. Instead, Stocker wonders what happens when you die and are reborn as a demon. When you operate without goodness in mind. Is that a mode for something true? Even if it�s evil?

�

Stocker wrote these songs from March to November of 2020. It was isolating in the usual ways for that time, of course, but he was also juggling a number of relationships that were unhealthy for a myriad of reasons. He was stuck in a cycle, unable to escape, and every time he sat down the self-loathing and demons came out. Here he examines that self-destructive tenderness, observant of the way he was then but not fraught over it. Instead, he�s like a documentarian of trying times; of what it feels like to grow a new epidermis instead.

James Brown had the Apollo. Jimi Hendrix had Monterey Pop. And Prince had Syracuse, New York�s Carrier Dome�the Purple Rain Tour performance that was beamed to millions live via satellite and captured for posterity in the Grammy Award-nominated concert film�Prince and The Revolution: Live, and has since gone down in history as one of the most iconic live recordings in pop and rock history.�For the first time, this powerful performance by Prince and The Revolution has been entirely remixed from the original 2� multitrack master reels, the picture has been newly restored onto Blu-ray video with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound�and the audio will be made available for the first time physically. The new version of�Prince and The Revolution: Live�will be available on 2CDs plus the Blu-ray with a 24-page book with never-before-seen photos of the Purple Rain Tour and new liner notes.

Harry�s House is the third solo studio album from Grammy award-winning global superstar Harry Styles. The 13-track full-length album was recorded in multiple locations across the UK, Los Angeles and Tokyo from 2020 to 2021. It was written by Harry alongside frequent collaborators Kid Harpoon, Tyler Johnson, and Mitch Rowland.

Iconic singer Mavis Staples is an alchemist of American music, and during her 70+ year career one of her most beloved musical moments was her riveting performance in Martin Scorsese's film' The Last Waltz,' performing "The Weight", with The Band, a moment that forged a life-long friendship between her and Levon Helm. Staples came to Woodstock, NY to perform as part of Helm's renowned Midnight Ramble series, and the ensuing concert-available now for the first time on the rousing new ANTI- Records release 'Carry Me Home'-would mark a personal high watermark for both artists. Captured live in the summer of 2011, 'Carry Me Home' showcases two of the past century's most iconic voices coming together in love and joy, tracing their shared roots and celebrating the enduring power of faith and music. The setlist was righteous that night, mixing vintage gospel and soul with timeless folk and blues, and the performances were loose and playful, fueled by an ecstatic atmosphere that was equal parts family reunion and tent revival. Read between the lines, though, and there's an even more poignant story at play here. Neither Staples nor Helm knew that this would be their last performance together-the collection marks one of Helm's final recordings before his death-and listening back now, a little more than a decade later, tunes like "This May Be The Last Time" and "Farther Along" take on new, bittersweet meaning. The result is an album that's at once a time capsule and a memorial, a blissful homecoming and a fond farewell, a once-in-a-lifetime concert-and friendship-preserved for the ages. Staples and the night's soulful crew of backup singers handle the vast majority of the vocal work here, but it's perhaps album closer "The Weight," which features Helm chiming in with lead vocals for the first time, that stands as the concert's most emotional moment."It never crossed my mind that it might be the last time we'd see each other," says Staples. "He was so full of life and so happy that week. He was the same old Levon I'd always known, just a beautiful spirit inside and out." "My dad built The Midnight Rambles to restore his spirit, his voice, and his livelihood," says Helm's daughter, Amy, who sang backup vocals with her father and Staples at their performance. "He'd risen back up from all that had laid him down, and to have Mavis come sing and sanctify that stage was the ultimate triumph for him."

In May of 1957, Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers went into the studio with Thelonious Monk to record a one-off album for Atlantic. The Jazz Messengers were a loose collective of young Jazz musicians, with a constantly rotating lineup to keep the music fresh and help launch new careers. In this iteration we find Art Blakey on drums, Thelonious Monk on piano, Johnny Griffin on tenor saxophone, Bill Hardman on trumpet and Spanky DeBrest on bass. -Blakey had recorded with Monk on various occasions, but this was the first time Monk sat in with the Jazz Messengers. This also marks Thelonious Monk�s only appearance on Atlantic Records. The result is a true meeting of the minds, a beautiful union of Monk�s melodies with Blakey�s unshakable sense of swing. This 65thAnniversary deluxe edition includes an extra disc ofunreleased outtakes, celebrating the most sensational jazz collaboration of the 1950s.

Released in 1961, My Favorite Things made John Coltrane a star with box-office pull previously reserved for the likes of Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis. The dazzling quartet treatment of the Richard Rodgers hit song features Coltrane on soprano saxophone for the first time on record and became an instant hit single in its own right. The album also became a major commercial success, receiving the Grammy Hall of Fame award in 1998 and attaining gold record status in 2018. The recently uncovered mono version of this album�once believed to be lost forever�is included in this deluxe package along with the stereo version, both having been mastered from the original tapes. This 60th Anniversary deluxe edition also includes liner notes by award-winning writer Ben Ratliff, as well as photos and Atlantic Records ephemera.

Super Deluxe contains 8 LPs on 180-gram heavy vinyl showcasing the newly remastered album from the original analog tapes along with 4 complete concerts on the Nevermind Tour from Amsterdam, Melbourne, Tokyo and Del Mar, California. Also included is a first-ever 7-inch for �Endless, Nameless� with B-sides �Even In His Youth� and �Aneurysm,� and a 40-page hardcover book with unreleased photos.

Like every record Superchunk has made over the last thirty-some years, Wild Loneliness is�unskippably excellent and infectious. It�s a blend of stripped-down and lush, electric and�acoustic, highs and lows, and I love it all. On Wild Loneliness I hear echoes of Come Pick Me�Up, Here�s to Shutting Up, and Majesty Shredding. After the (ahem, completely justifiable) anger�of What a Time to Be Alive, this new record is less about what we�ve lost in these harrowing�times and more about what we have to be thankful for. (I know something about gratitude.�I�ve been a huge Superchunk fan since the 1990s, around the same time I first found my�way to poetry, so the fact that I�m writing these words feels like a minor miracle.)

On Wild Loneliness, it feels like the band is refocusing on possibility, and possibility is built�into the songs themselves, in the sweet surprises tucked inside them. I say all the time�that what makes a good poem�the �secret ingredient��is surprise. Perhaps the same is�true of songs. Like when the sax comes in on the title track, played by Wye Oak�s Andy�Stack, adding a completely new texture to the song. Or when Owen Pallett�s strings come�in on �This Night.� But my favorite surprise on Wild Loneliness is when the harmonies of�Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub kick in on �Endless Summer.��It�s as perfect a pop song as you�ll ever hear�sweet, bright, flat-out gorgeous�and yet it�grapples with the depressing reality of climate change: �Is this the year the leaves don�t lose�their color / and hummingbirds, they don�t come back to hover / I don�t mean to be a giant�bummer but / I�m not ready / for an endless summer, no / I�m not ready for an endless�summer.� I love how the music acts as a kind of counterweight to the lyrics.

Because of COVID, Mac, Laura, Jim, and Jon each recorded separately, but a silver lining�is that this method made other long-distance contributions possible, from R.E.M.�s Mike�Mills, Sharon Van Etten, Franklin Bruno, and Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura,�among others. Some of the songs for the record were written before the pandemic hit, but�others, like �Wild Loneliness,� were written from and about isolation.

I�ve been thinking of songs as memory machines. Every time we play a record, we�remember when we heard it before, and where we were, and who we were. Music�crystallizes memories so well: listening to �Detroit Has a Skyline,� suddenly I�m shoutsinging�along with it at a show in Detroit twenty years ago; listening to �Overflows,� I�m�transported back to whisper-singing a slowed-down version of it to my young son, that year�it was his most-requested lullaby.

Wild Loneliness is becoming part of my life, part of my memories, too. And it will be part of�yours. I can picture people in 20, 50, or 100 years listening to this record and marveling at�what these artists created together�beauty, possibility, surprise�during this alarming (and�alarmingly isolated) time. But why wait? Let�s marvel now.

March 2022, rock icons KISS will release the next installment of their Off The Soundboard official live bootleg series with KISS - Off The Soundboard: Live In Virginia Beach, recorded live at the Virginia Beach Amphitheatre on July 25, 2004.

Off The Soundboard: Live In Virginia Beach finds the legendary band in the midst of their `Rock The Nation' Tour, which is notable for being the first full U.S. tour of the longstanding Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer lineup. The career-spanning 20-song set includes classic KISS tracks such as "Lick It Up," "I Love It Loud," and the worldwide smash and No. 11 1979 U.S. Billboard charting "I Was Made For Lovin' You," as well as perennial KISS fan favorites "Makin' Love," "King Of The Night Time World," and "100,000 Years" that dig deep into the band's astonishing 40+ year back catalog.

KISS are globally recognized as one of the greatest live bands of all time and are the creators of what is universally considered the best live album ever, 1975's gold-certified and No. 9 Billboard charting Alive!. The KISS - Off The Soundboard series continues their storied legacy of groundbreaking live albums with a document of the spectacular, larger-than-life extravaganza that is a KISS concert.

KISS OFF THE SOUNDBOARD: LIVE IN VIRGINIA BEACH 3 X LP

2020's A Hero's Death saw Fontaines D.C. land a #2 album in the UK, receive nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards, and sell out London's iconic Alexandra Palace. Now the band return with their third record in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as 'the damnation of the deer'; the spelling crassly anglicized, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph - the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatized culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.

All Them Witches are known for their loud and lengthy live shows. 2020 found the band releasing their critically acclaimed album, Nothing As The Ideal. An album release from this band would traditionally be followed by a lengthy 18-month tour across the globe. Due to an international pandemic, the band�s touring plans were brought to a halt. This did not stop All Them Witches from assembling in a studio to broadcast a live set for their fans. The set was roundly received as an amazing performance and fans immediately inquired as to whether or not this show would be available outside of the broadcast. New West Records is proud to present All Them Witches - LIVE ON THE INTERNET.

Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We (John, Anthony, Chad and Flea) spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could. Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better. Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt.

We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album UNLIMITED LOVE, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe.This is our life�s mission. We work, focus, and prepare, so that when the biggestwave comes, we are ready to ride it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this record is theride that is the sum of our lives. Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it.

One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards, including "Best Rock Album" for Stadium Arcadium, "Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group" for "Dani California, "Best Rock Song" for "Scar Tissue," and "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal" for "Give It Away." The band holds the record for the most No. 1 singles of all time at Alternative radio, a total of 11, and a combined 81 weeks at No. 1.

The Regrettes, consisting of singer and songwriter, Lydia Night, as well as Genessa Gariano (guitar), Brooke Dickson (bass) and Drew Thomsen (drums), have written a manual for living in these times, replete with highly personalized songs about things we�re all going through. Night shares, �that phrase, �further joy,� summarized what it meant to be on the hamster wheel of constantly chasing happiness, but in turn, that�s what makes you unhappy. I was stuck in a loop of wanting to be better, wanting to be good, and therefore I couldn�t be here. I couldn�t be present.� The desire to break free of that cycle is what the band�s third album, Further Joy, is all about, a joyous and self-aware soundtrack for those interested in what Lydia refers to as �dancing the pain away.�

"Two of the acts boldly leading Texas music into the future have now delivered a second chapter of their groundbreaking collaboration, further extending the region�s sonic possibilities. Singer/songwriter Leon Bridges, from Ft. Worth, and trailblazing Houston trio Khruangbin have joined forces for the Texas Moon EP, a follow-up to 2020�s acclaimed Texas Sun project. While the five new songs are clearly a continuation of the first EP, they also have an identity all their own�Bridges calls it �more introspective,� while Khruangbin bassist Laura Lee says it �feels more night time.� When Texas Sun was released, AllMusic called the results �intoxicating� and Paste noted that �their talents and character go together so well.� Now comes the next stage�a set of songs that touch on themes like love, faith, and death while exploring new dimensions of inventive, hypnotic grooves. Significantly, both parties� musical directions were clearly affected by their time working together. Khruangbin�s most recent album, Mordechai, moved their own vocals much further forward, a change they readily admit was a direct result of working with Bridges. Meanwhile, since these recordings began, in addition to his genre-defying album Gold-Digger�s Sound, Bridges has put out several other challenging, shared tracks, including work with John Mayer, Lucky Daye, and Jazmine Sullivan. Texas Moon represents a genuine and rare achievement, with two of the most respected and innovative acts of their generation truly collaborating to create something new. �As far as an essentially instrumental band, these guys are kind of the top for me,� says Bridges. �I�m honored to have been the first singer that they�ve incorporated in their music.� �It feels really special to me,� says Lee. �It�s not Khruangbin, it�s not Leon, it�s this world we created together."

�I�m starting to realize that being an outlier and a weirdo��it doesn�t have to be a bad thing,� says Sarah Shook. Shook pauses, then adds with a grin, �It can be whatever you want it to be.�

Shook is home in North Carolina, talking about Nightroamer, the hotly anticipated new album from their band, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers. Backed by white-knuckle playing from Eric Peterson on guitar, Aaron Oliva on upright bass, drummer Jack Foster, and Adam Kurtz on pedal steel, Shook has pulled from Hank Williams, Elliott Smith, the Sex Pistols, and Shook�s own inquisitive, open, outlying self to create pop-savvy, honky-tonk punk that�s both an escape and a reality check��a re-opened wound and a balm. Relationships and life-changing realizations are dissected with honesty and humor, three tight minutes at a time.

When Sarah Shook & The Disarmers released Sidelong four years ago, the irreverent quintet�s debut turned heads around the world. Then 2018�s follow-up Years hooked everyone from Rolling Stone to Vice. �This ain�t no country for hipsters or posers,� said No Depression. �It�s real, raw, mean-and-evil-bad-and-nasty bidness.� Then, the first two albums turned into a tease: The pandemic shut down the world, just as The Disarmers finished recording Nightroamer in Los Angeles. The band has had to sit on the album��until now.

Nightroamer is worth the wait. This is still a band whose recordings beg to be heard live, either in a punk-rock hole in the wall or honky-tonk roadhouse. Shook�s voice is crystalline��but boozy, too, with a cadence that sounds comfortable resting in the pocket before lagging, jumping, or cozying up to the offbeat. What initially may feel like a slip is actually a stroke��and listeners cannot get enough.

Produced by Pete Anderson, Nightroamer is the confident next step fans hoped The Disarmers could take. �I think this record is different than ones we�ve done in the past. It feels every bit as expansive as I wanted it to feel,� says Shook. �I didn�t want there to be a shocking, jarring difference, but I definitely wanted it to feel like things are opening up. It�s a bigger feeling experience.�

Asked what they hope listeners experience, Shook is clear. �Music is one of the ways we can connect to other people,� they say. �That�s my hope: That people feel seen and they feel connected to something that brings them a sense of peace.�

Ghost one of the most esteemed and celebrated�rock�bands in the world today return with their fifth psalm, IMPERA, fronted by the newly anointed Papa Emeritus IV.� A dozen songs take on themes of isolation and demigod worship, as well as colonization of both space and mind.� �And all with the infectious hooky brand of rock their fans have grown accustomed.�

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros�consisting of Bobby Weir, Don Was, Jay Lane and Jeff Chimenti�are set to release their first ever vinyl collection of recorded material.

Ford Amphitheater in Vail, Colorado on June 8, 9, 11, 12, 2021. These shows were the group�s first live audience concerts in over a year and featured Greg Leisz�on pedal steel, along with�The Wolfpack: Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer,�Adam Theis,�Mads Tolling�and�Sheldon Brown. �Been too long,� Weir said of the performances, �but I can�t think of a better place to pick it back up��

A series of inspired encounters between creative forces from various worlds of sound and vision has�resulted in �Hunter�s Moon,� the infectious first new track from GHOST in 2 years accompanied by�phantasmagoric�video�directed by Amanda Demme, and featured in the newest installment of the�blockbuster horror film franchise, Halloween Kills.

Cat Power returns with Covers, Chan Marshall�s third album of her celebrated reinterpretations of songs by classic and contemporary artists.

On Covers, Marshall reaches back to songs that have affected her from childhood to the present, connecting each with a deeply personal memory. She recalls her grandmother�s love for Billie Holiday�s �I�ll Be Seeing You� and finding a box of cassettes as a teenager that led her to discovering Kitty Wells� �It Wasn�t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.� She remembers getting chills hearing Iggy Pop�s �Endless Sea� in the 1986 Michael Hutchence film Dogs in Space and being a broke artist in her twenties in New York City spending her last dollar to play the Replacements� �Here Comes a Regular� on the jukebox at Mona�s. She recorded the Pogues� �Pair of Brown Eyes,� which she calls one of her favorite songs of all time, after it reminded her of one friend who passed from cancer and turned to Bob Seger�s �Against the Wind� to help her heal from the loss of another.�

Alongside covers of rock-and-roll icons from Nico to Nick Cave, Marshall brings her inimitable vocal power and elegant arrangements to songs by contemporary artists, capturing the defiance of Dead Man�s Bones� �Pa Pa Power� and the dreaminess of Lana Del Rey�s �A White Mustang.� And the album opens with a dazzling cover of Frank Ocean�s �Bad Religion,� of which she says, �I believe in whatever God is called� But I think that the wretched men that have come in history to implement horror on humanity in the name of these religions is something that should be looked at universally.��

Finally, Covers finds Marshall, an artist of constant evolution, reworking �Hate,� a song from her 2006 LP The Greatest on which she sang �I hate myself and I want to die.� Marshall says she has always felt �antsy� about the track and reimagined it as �Unhate,� a new version that looks back on the raw devastation of the original track in the rearview. �We all have bad days,� she says. �We all have shit, trauma, something. There are times when you feel like that. But I needed to make it right.��

Marshall self-produced all of Covers; it was recorded in Los Angeles at Mant Studios with Rob Schnapf, who mixed and engineered.�

Gold and clear vinyl LPs in separate jackets with custom dust sleeves, two posters, book, all enclosed in a hinged box.

Once Twice Melody is the 8th studio album by Beach House. It is a double�album, featuring 18 songs presented in 4 chapters. Across these songs,�many types of style and song structures can be heard. Songs without drums,�songs centered around acoustic guitar, mostly electronic songs with no�guitar, wandering and repetitive melodies, songs built around the string�sections. In addition to new sounds, many of the drum machines, organs,�keyboards and tones that listeners may associate with previous Beach�House records remain present throughout many of the compositions.

Beach House is Victoria Legrand, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist, and�Alex Scally, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. They write all of their songs�together. Once Twice Melody is the first album produced entirely by the�band. The live drums are by James Barone (same as their 2018 album, 7),�and were recorded at Pachyderm studio in Minnesota and United Studio in�Los Angeles. For the first time, a live string ensemble was used. Strings were�arranged by David Campbell.

The writing and recording of Once Twice Melody began in 2018 and was�completed in July of 2021. Most of the songs were created during this time,�though a few date back over the previous 10 years. Most of the recording was�done at Apple Orchard Studio in Baltimore. Once Twice Melody was mixed�largely by Alan Moulder but a few tracks were also mixed by Caesar�Edmunds, Trevor Spencer, and Dave Fridmann.

Hell on Church Street, Punch Brothers� newest album, due January 14, 2022 on Nonesuch Records, is the band�s reimagining of, and homage to, the late bluegrass great Tony Rice�s landmark solo album Church Street Blues. The record features a collection of songs by Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Bill Monroe, and others. Recorded at Nashville�s Blackbird Studio in November 2020, during a time of great uncertainty, Hell on Church Street was intended as both its own work of art and a gift to Rice, who died that Christmas. Punch Brothers said of Tony Rice and Church Street Blues: �No record (or musician) has had a greater impact on us, and we felt compelled to cover it in its entirety, with the objective of interacting with it in the same spirit of respect-fueled adventure that Tony brought to each of its pre-existing songs.�

Special edition of the album includes 6 photographs from the Barn sessions.

BARN, the new Neil Young/Crazy Horse album was recorded in a remote, restored, 19th century log barn. This musical family has played together for a half century, yet they continue creating new music. Neil and the Horse fans have long shouted for �more barn� and here it is� 10 new songs that capture the wild, rock and roll spirit, the idiosyncratic raw sound and the lyrical beauty that epitomizes a classic NYCH collaboration. The last song appeared on the last morning and was recorded just an hour later during a pounding hailstorm and during the full moon.

The album was recorded this summer over a handful of days. The ten new songs encompass all that Neil Young with Crazy Horse are known for, beautiful romantic acoustic ballads, powerhouse electric rockers and insightful rollicking tunes that stick with you.�

Niko Bolas was parked adjacent to the barn, in an exquisite analog mobile recording truck, Le Mobile ready to capture and mix the album on the spot. Produced by The Volume Dealers � Neil Young and Niko Bolas, the album will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally. There will also be a deluxe edition that will include the LP, CD. and Blu-ray film.Special edition of the album includes 6 photographs from the Barn sessions.

2021 release. Written and largely produced by Tyler Joseph in isolation over the course of the past year at his home studio, with Josh Dun engineering the album's drums from across the country, Scaled And Icy is the product of long-distance virtual sessions and finds the duo processing their upended routines along with the prevailing emotions of 2020 - anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt. The duo had to forgo their normal studio sessions but reached a new of level of introspection in the process, adopting a more imaginative and bold approach to their songwriting. The result is a collection of songs that push forward through setbacks and focus on the possibilities worth remembering.

IDLES return with their new album "CRAWLER" ' an album of reflection and healing amid a worldwide pandemic that stretched the planet's collective mental and physical health to the breaking point. Frontman Joe Talbot says, "We want people who've gone through trauma, heartbreak, and loss to feel like they're not alone, and also how it is possible to reclaim joy from those experiences." IDLES albums have always been anchored by these overarching themes, but the ability of the band to juxtapose beauty and rage with humor and drama has never felt more satisfying than on "CRAWLER." These stories are vividly brought to life through IDLES' most soul-stirring music to date, recorded with co-producer Kenny Beats (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs). There are, of course, numerous moments that will inspire absolute mayhem in a packed concert venue, but there are also fresh textures and experiments that push IDLES into thrilling new territory.�"I don't really see us as a 'rock band' and working with Kenny [Beats] freed us of the idea of genre," Talbot enthuses. "On this album, our dissolution of ego was helped by Kenny's humble nature and willingness to learn. He has boundless passion for making the best song possible. Not the best 'rock' song ' the best song possible." He continues, "It was writing selfishly that helped make it possible. Reflecting. Telling my own story. Not trying to tell everyone else's story. Not trying to fix the world ' just talking about how I am fixing mine."

When you hear the words "punk band from the Midwest," you expect one thing. But Desperate Acts zig when you expect a zag. At their core, they�re a Minneapolis punk band and that�s inarguable, but it�s never predictable. Put Leatherface, Jawbreaker, Avail, and Hot Water Music into a blender, and you�re close � you�re missing ingredients, but you�re close. While seemingly coming out of nowhere, Desperate Acts� previous bands seem incongruent with their sound at first, so it�s not easy to tag them as �Ex-members of_______� and have that thin introductory catch phrase be relevant in any way (this band doesn�t sound like Comeback Kid, Holding On, or Martyr AD). State Secrets was produced by Jay Maas at Getaway Recording (Citizen, Title Fight, Bane & Defeater) and engineered by Brian Herb (Jerry Cantrell, Alice in Chains, Bush, Helmet).

Tattoo You celebrates 40 years with the release of a brand new Super Deluxe 5 LP Boxset which includes the newly remastered version of Tattoo You, Lost & Found: Rarities, and Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982.

"For a piece that feels as if it could float away into nothing, GOING STEADY becomes the night." - NPR

On Slothrust�s latest album, bandleader Leah Wellbaum pushed herself to try and understand her own spirituality on a deeper level, putting a lens on the core wound of the human experience, the idea that we�re alone. With Parallel Timeline , Wellbaum explores the feeling of being trapped inside her own consciousness while simultaneously searching for a meaningful connection to the universe, and all the mysteries it contains.

Good Dog, Bad Dream is the new EP from Hippo Campus, and the St. Paul, Minnesota five-piece's first new music since their 2018 sophomore album Bambi. It finds the band at their most honest and vulnerable to date, with five new intensely cathartic tracks tinged with confessions and dark humor. It's a collection of songs that came together with ease, and without pressure -- a wildly different experience than the typical Hippo Campus recording process. The band - made up of vocalist/guitarists Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker, drummer Whistler Allen, bassist Zach Sutton, and trumpeter DeCarlo Jackson -- assembled Good Dog, Bad Dream with a genuine sense of freedom and enjoyment as part of their first sessions in their new Minneapolis studio space. It�s a celebration of brotherhood, and the �all for one, one for all� mentality that has permeated Hippo Campus� work since the very beginning.�

Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince�s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince�s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album. The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America combines the 2LP and CD versions of the album with a never before released Blu-Ray of Prince�s full April 28, 2011 performance at the Forum, part of the Welcome 2 America Tour�s historic 21 Nite Stand in Los Angeles.

Private Space, the group�s third album, is a previously untapped vibe at the heart of The Indications. Pushing beyond the boundaries of the funk and soul on their previous releases,�Private Space�unlocks the door to a wider range of sounds and launches boldly into a world of synthy modern soul and disco beats dotted with strings. It�s an organic, timeless record that�s as fresh as clean kicks and familiar as your favorite well-worn LP. Developed after being apart for much of the year,�Private Space�is creatively explosive and delights in upending expectations. Its 10 tracks are both an escapist fantasy and a much-needed recentering after a tumultuous 2020. Throughout, The Indications highlight a collective resiliency � as well as the power of a good song to be a light in the darkness.

Durand Jones & The Indications have long provided the soulful soundtrack for such deep thoughts, both on stage and on your turntable. But as the world slowly resets from the chaos of the past year, Durand Jones & The Indications��Private Space�is arriving at just the right time.

Solid Cream & Solid Scarlet Vinyl. Xiu Xiu makes beautiful music for hard times. For nearly 20 years, the band has a track record of crafting experimental music for moments when life's harsh realities meet it's existential mysteries. On the latest album, Jamie Stewart explores a recent revelation and is reminded of the power of the band's music to surprise and connect. Listening to the songs on OH NO, it is hard to feel truly alone. Instead, it is a reminder that even when we're alone, we're alone together. OH NO, the group's newest album, is an album of duets, with Stewart sharing the stage with an array of guests who have made an impact on him personally and musically. This is the first Xiu Xiu album where every song spotlights Jamie Stewart and a collaborator. The album features artists across the musical spectrum, including Sharon Van Etten, Circuit des Yeux's Haley Fohr, Grouper's Liz Harris, Alice Bag, Chelsea Wolfe, Owen Pallet, and Twin Shadow's George Lewis Jr., all drift into Xiu Xiu's distinctive soundworld. The album was born out of anguish and isolation, but exists as it does because of a profound rediscovery of community and friendship. It is the sound of finding one's place in the world after the destructive powers of jealousy and mistrust make any map seemingly unreadable.

THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM OF EPIC BLACK HEAVY METAL FROM THE NORWEGIAN LEGENDS, SPECIAL DELUXE LIMITED EDITION BOX SET. With the highly revered Norwegians remaining ever-dedicated to the art of the riff after 35 years of existence, Darkthrone return for album number nineteen and a new dose of metallic godliness. On the back of 2019's triumphant Old Star opus, the duo of Nocturno Culto and Fenriz present a 41 minute maelstrom of Epic Black Heavy Metal across five sprawling compositions. Organic and dynamic, the album is an exploration of the very finest vintage metal and the best of doom, all delivered in the unmistakable Darkthrone style, whilst also incorporating instruments such as the Moog to further expand upon these soundscapes. Eschewing the process of using their own Necrohell II studios - which has served the band so well over the last 15 years - and welcoming a change of environment and the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, Eternal Hails was recorded at Chaka Khan Studio in Oslo, and engineered by Ole Ovstedal & Silje Hogevold, breathing new life into the sound while retaining the essence of Darkthrone's natural, raw feeling. The cover artwork features the piece "Pluto and Charon" (1972), from renowned science fiction artist David A. Hardy; a hugely inspirational image for both Fenriz & Nocturno Culto spanning several decades, and this also stands as a symbolic link between the genre-bending styles apparent on Darkthrone's earliest works, to those same traits evident on Eternal Hails. Special deluxe limited edition boxset containing: Exclusive purple coloured heavyweight vinyl. CD in alternate digi sleeve format. Cassette tape-12 page booklet containing a biography surrounding the creation of the album & studio experience. -10" art print of David Hardy's Pluto & Charon painting. -Handwritten letter print from Fenriz

Recorded direct to acetate - all live, no overdubs -�Capitol Cuts - Live from Studio A�captures a powerful moment in time. After months of cancelled shows Black Pumas went to Los Angeles this past fall and laid down eight explosive tracks at the famed Capitol Studio A. The recording brims with pent up energy, nearly bursting through the grooves on the expansive and mind-blowing seven minute rendition of �Colors.� A few weeks later the song would received a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year.

This LP finally brings a Clipping fan-favorite, 2016�s Wriggle, onto vinyl in an improved, expanded version that features new art, previously unreleased remixes, and a track that�s exclusive to the vinyl format.

The original, digital-only Wriggle EP was six tracks that weren�t finished in time to make it onto the group�s 2014 Sub Pop debut, CLPPNG. For �Shooter,� Clipping recorded themselves firing fifteen dierent guns, the sounds of which exclusively constituted the beat�s drums, augmented only by a synthesized tone-row. The verses referenced the well-worn technique of �hashtag rap,� but instead of using it to boast about the rapper�s personal wealth and masculine prowess, Clipping put forth imagistic narratives of three violent encounters. True to much of the group�s music, �Shooter� was an attempt to reframe a familiar style and test the limits of its formal capabilities. �Hot Fuck No Love� contains what might be the most explicit verse to date from Clipping�s favorite New Jersey rapper Cakes Da Killa. The EP�s title track, �Wriggle,� was built around a sample of the influential power-electronics song �Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel� by Whitehouse, transforming William Bennett�s torturous imperative into a instructional dance-floor banger. �Wriggle� and �Shooter� have become classic Clipping tracks and staples of their live show.

With this vinyl edition, Clipping fans old and new - and there are many new fans thanks to their breakout 2020 album, Visions of Bodies Being Burned, and Daveed Diggs� thriving acting career - get the vinyl version of Wriggle they�ve been clamoring for.

Rock �n� roll is often hard to define, or even to find, in these fractured musical times. But to paraphrase an old saying, you know it when you hear it.

And you always hear it with The Wallflowers. For the past 30 years, the Jakob Dylan-led act has stood as one of rock�s most dynamic and purposeful bands � a unit dedicated to and continually honing a sound that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. That signature style has been present through the decades, baked into the grooves of smash hits like 1996�s Bringing Down the Horse as well as more recent and exploratory fare like 2012�s Glad All Over.

But while it�s been nine long years since we�ve heard from the group with whom he first made his mark, the Wallflowers are silent no more. And Dylan always knew they�d return. �The Wallflowers is much of my life�s work,� he says simply. That life�s work continues with Exit Wounds, the brand-new Wallflowers studio offering. The collection marks the first new Wallflowers material since Glad All Over.

Exit Wounds, which, true to its title, is an ode to people � individual and collective � that have, to put it mildly, been through some stuff.�

�I think everybody � no matter what side of the aisle you�re on � wherever we�re going to next, we're all taking a lot of exit wounds with us,� Dylan says. �Nobody is the same as they were four years ago. That, to me, is what Exit Wounds signifies. And it's not meant to be negative at all. It just means that wherever you�re headed, even if it�s to a better place, you leave people and things behind, and you think about those people and those things and you carry them with you. Those are your exit wounds. And right now, we�re all swimming in them.�

Celebrating 20 years of the Academy Award winning film by Cameron Crowe, the Grammy� winning Almost Famous soundtrack is reissued as a deluxe 2CD with 35 songs from the film including Stillwater, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and many more.

Deluxe/Limited/Special Edition Details: The creator of "Hamilton" and the director of "Crazy Rich Asians" invite you to a cinematic event, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... "In the Heights." Lights up on Washington Heights... The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. "In the Heights" fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda's kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu's lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of it's place, but universal in it's experience ViNYL

Angel Dream is a special reimagining of the album She�s The One to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its original release. This also brings to a close the celebration of Tom Petty�s masterpiece Wildflowers, as most of the songs on this album were recorded during the same time period. �She�s The One included some songs that were left off the original Wildflowers album, recently included in the Wildflowers & All The Rest re-issue. To take the place of those songs, four previously unreleased songs have been added here � two Petty originals (�105 Degrees� and �One of Life�s Little Mysteries�), a cover of JJ Cale�s �Thirteen Days�, and the instrumental �French Disconnection�. �An extended version of �Supernatural Radio� is also included. The album has been remixed & remastered and brand new cover art commissioned � emphasizing that this is a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album, rather than a soundtrack album.

Comprised of Naomi �Nai Palm� Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums),�the�twice-Grammy-nominated group Hiatus Kaiyote returns to announce their new album�Mood Valiant�via Brainfeeder Records / Ninja Tune.

The new project comes after the band has been sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake � with whom Nai Palm collaborated with on�Scorpion.

The band travelled to Rio de Janeiro in late-2019 to work on the album with legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, which led to the infectious lead single �Get Sun� (feat. Arthur Verocai).

The album was a six year journey, but is more of a hustle than a hiatus � it is an act of love, of courage, of brother-and-sisterhood, of altered perspective.

�Hiatus Kaiyote�s music stretches and bends every parameter.��-�Jon Pareles / The New York Times

m b v is the highly anticipated and long awaited 2013 album from the British Alt-Rock icons led by the esteemed Kevin Shields. MBV is the follow-up to their genre-defining 1991 album Loveless.

Considered to be one of the best live albums of all time, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band�s �Live� Bullet was captured at Cobo Hall, Detroit, MI, in September 1975. The album was released April 12, 1976, and helped to supercharge Bob Seger�s career. To mark the 45th anniversary, the album has been remastered and will be released in its original 2LP format in both black and color vinyl.

Lord Huron presents their fourth studio album, Long Lost. The band has often tried to uncover the past of their studio, Whispering Pines, without much success. Instead, they decided to imagine what has gone on in the studio, who has passed through, and that is how Long Lost was created. Featuring the singles �Not Dead Yet,� �Mine Forever,� �I Lied� and �Love Me Like You Used To.�

LP Packaging:� Opaque Custard/Blue mixed color vinyl; gatefold jacket

In the midst of a global pandemic, John Hiatt walked into Historic RCA Studio B and opened up a lifetime full of leftover feelings. A half-century ago, Hiatt lived in a ratty, $15-a-week room on Nashville�s 16th Avenue, less than a mile away from the RCA and Columbia studios that were the heartbeat of what had come to be known as �Music Row.� In the ensuing 50 years, he went from a scuffling young buck to a celebrated grand master of song.

With Leftover Feelings, Hiatt teamed up with multi-grammy winning artist and producer, Jerry Douglas and his band, The Jerry Douglas Band. There�s no drummer, yet these grooves are deep and true. And while the up-tempo songs are, as ever, filled with delightful internal rhyme and sly aggression, the Jerry Douglas Band�s empathetic musicianship nudges Hiatt to performances that are startlingly vulnerable.�

In life, leftover feelings can remain unresolved, no matter how often explored. Explicated in a place of history, a place of comfort. A sacred place, if you believe the documentation of human expression to be a holy thing. Here then, with this album,� there is a meeting of bruised and triumphant American giants. Here are Hiatt and Douglas, creating the meant-to-be: Love songs and road songs, sly songs and hurt songs. Their songs, and now our songs.� Leftover feelings that edify and sustain.

On May 14, The Black Keys release their tenth studio album, Delta Kream, via Nonesuch Records. The record celebrates the band�s roots, featuring eleven Mississippi hill country blues standards that they have loved since they were teenagers, before they were a band, including songs by R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, among others. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney recorded Delta Kream at Auerbach�s Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville; they were joined by musicians Kenny Brown and Eric Deaton, long-time members of the bands of blues legends including R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. The album takes its name from William Eggleston�s iconic Mississippi photograph that is on its cover.�

The perfect complement to the film available as a 5-LP 180-gram black vinyl set for the Zappa completist. Showcasing 69 total songs, with 12 previously unreleased recordings from archive along with the 1978 Saturday Night Live performance; 24 additional Zappa songs from the catalog spanning 4 decades; songs from Zappa's labels Straight / Bizarre Records; 2 classical compositions by Edgard Varese and Igor Stravinsky; and 26 Original Score cues newly composed by John Frizzell for the documentary.

With each new release, Elias Bender R�nnenfelt, Jakob Tvilling Pless, Jojan Surrballe Wieth and Dan Kj�r Nielsen refigure the contours of a typical Iceage song. This is especially true of Seek Shelter, their fifth LP and first for Mexican Summer. Enrolling Sonic Boom (Pete Kember of Spacemen 3) to produce the record and an additional guitarist, Casper Morilla, the album sees Iceage's propulsive momentum pushing them in new, expansive, ecstatic directions, exploring a new emotional palette, replete with romantic piano balladry, invocations of patron saints, and a gospel choir.

Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Eric Church confirmed that new music is on the horizon: "I have [new] albums coming out in April. They came out of my 28 days in the mountains of North Carolina, where the songs were recorded and written. The collection is entitled Heart & Soul."

"Fearless was an album full of magic and curiosity, the bliss and devastation of youth. It was the diary of the adventures and explorations of a teenage girl who was learning tiny lessons with every new crack in the facade of the fairytale ending she'd been shown in the movies. I'm thrilled to tell you that my new version of Fearless is done and will be with you soon. It's called Fearless (Taylor's Version) and it includes 26 songs." - Taylor Swift. Includes 6 unreleased tracks.

SMITH/KOTZEN is the exciting partnership between guitarists & vocalists Adrian Smith & Richie Kotzen. Part-time LA neighbors, full time friends with a healthy mutual respect�their music is evocative of the classic rock bands of the 70�s brought bang up to date with punchy hooks, harmonies and sheer guitar virtuosity. Debut track �Taking My Chances� sets the tone for this electrifying collaboration between two hugely admired rock music trail-blazers.

After two UK�#1�albums,�2 million�album sales and an array of international acclaim, you might�ve thought you knew what to expect from�Royal Blood. Those preconceptions were shattered when they released��Trouble�s Coming��last summer. Hitting a melting pot of fiery rock riffs and danceable beats, they delivered something fresh, unexpected and yet entirely in tune with what they�d forged their reputation with.

When�Mike Kerr�and�Ben Thatcher�sat down to talk about making a new album, they knew what they wanted to achieve. It involved a conscious return to their roots, back when they had made music that was influenced by�Daft Punk,�Justice, and�Philippe�Zdar�of�Cassius. It also called for a similar back-to-basics approach to what had made their self-titled debut album so thrilling, visceral and original.�

�We sort of stumbled on this sound, and it was immediately fun to play,��recalls�Kerr.��That�s what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling. It�s weird, though - if you think back to �Figure it Out�, it kind of contains the embryo of this album. We realised that we didn�t have to completely destroy what we�d created so far; we just had to shift it, change it. On paper, it�s a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh.�

Those traits pulsate throughout the new single and title track.�Kerr�s�spiralling bass riff casts an hypnotic allure as it grows in intensity, while his vocals switch at will between a raw rock roar and a soulful falsetto. It�s underpinned by�Thatcher�s�thundering beats, his taut rhythms infused with groove-laden hi-hats.

After setting the tone with��Trouble�s Coming�, the album opens in breathless, take-no-prisoners style with the fierce metallic grooves of��Who Needs Friends��hitting an early visceral peak.�Royal Blood�further reference their fresh array of influences by deploying vocodered vocals on��Million & One��before dynamically switching between the biggest contrasts of their sound with��Limbo�. Already a fan favourite having been a regular during the duo�s�2019�shows,��Boilermaker��lives up to its reputation and is more than matched by��Mad Visions�, which evokes a hyper-aggressive�Prince. It ends with a final surprise in the shape of the stark piano ballad��All We Have Is Now�, a vulnerable and revealing reminder to live in the moment.

This new approach manifested itself in the duo�s decision to produce the majority of �Typhoons��themselves.��Boilermaker��was produced by�Queens of the Stone Age�frontman�Josh Homme, the two bands having first connected when�Royal Blood�supported them on a huge�North American�tour. Meanwhile, the multiple�Grammy Award�winner�Paul Epworth�produced��Who Needs Friends��and contributed additional production to��Trouble�s Coming�.

Daddy�s Home, the sixth album from St. Vincent, is the latest facet of an ever-evolving artist regarded by many as the most consistently innovative and intriguing presence in modern music.

The music was performed by Annie, Jack, Cian, Thomas, Evan Smith, Sam KS, Greg Leisz, Daniel Hart, Michael Leonhard, Lynne Fiddmont and Kenya Hathaway.

The American music icon's 50th studio album (excluding her 10 studio duet collaborations with Conway Twitty), Still Woman Enough celebrates women in country music. From her homage to the originators, Mother Maybelle Carter and the Carter Family (via her cover of "Keep On The Sunny Side") through a new interpretation of her very first single, "I'm A Honky Tonk Girl," Loretta Lynn acknowledges her role in the continuum of American country music while her duets with Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood ("Still Woman Enough"), Margo Price ("One's On The Way") and Tanya Tucker ("You Ain't Woman Enough") find her sharing the musical torch with some of the brightest lights and biggest stars in contemporary pop-country.

The album premieres 13 new Loretta Lynn recordings, intimate and electrifying performances of a career-spanning selection of songs illuminating different aspects of her repertoire. The collection is centered around Loretta's original compositions--from new songs like "Still Woman Enough" (which shares its title and attitude with her 2002 autobiography and was cowritten with her daughter, Patsy Lynn Russell) through fresh interpretations of classics including "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl" (her first single, originally released March 1960), "You Ain't Woman Enough" (the title track for her first #1 Billboard Hot Country Album in 1966), "My Love" (from 1968's Here's Loretta Lynn), "I Wanna Be Free" (1971) and a deeply emotional "Coal Miner's Daughter Recitation," commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of her signature song (October 5, 1970) and album (January 4, 1971).

The album is the third release by the band for Nonesuch Records and follows up their break out release, Free Yourself Up, which debuted top 10 on the Billboard Album charts (a career peak for the band) and garnered them their first charting radio single, "Good Kisser." Obviously was produced by Grammy Award-winningproducer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Elizondo

Jimbo Mathus & Andrew Bird will be teaming up for a new release called "These 13" on 3/5.�It is a little bit folk, a little bit gospel, a little bit bluesy, a little bit Hank, a little bit hill country, but most emphatically, it is all heart. Andrew Bird and Jimbo Mathus have climbed the height of their creative ladders in this collection of soul-strung songs, both lyrically and musically, a synchronicity between the two that feels joined in some special imaginative place that can only be visited by the best of songwriters. All songs written and performed by Andrew Bird + Jimbo Mathus. Album was produced by Mike Viola�

One of Australia's greatest self-made successes, Tash Sultana is a one-person powerhouse who commands multiple instruments and gear, whether on-sage or in-studio. A globe-trotting sensation with a live show that needs to be seen to be believed, the 25-year-old's second album Terra Firma is a natural evolution of their multi-dimensional jams. The follow-up to 2016's ARIA-winning Flow State was recorded in a custom-built studio over nearly a year. From the expansive 'Coma' to the evocative 'Greed', almost every note was composed, arranged, performed and engineered by Tash. Improving significantly as a singer, player, producer and arranger, the solo star - for the first time - opened up to like-minded collaborators, including Matt Corby and Dann Hume, Jerome Farah, and Josh Cashman. Spiritually, Terra Firma finds the artist reconnecting to their roots, returning to earth after the dizzying heights of success, and reminding themselves who they are and what it means to be human. Musically however, its 14 tracks take root into far-reaching sonic territory, departing from loops and layers towards meditative combinations of soul, funk, RnB, folk, rock, hip hop ' you name it.�

No One Sings Like You Anymore is Chris Cornell's handpicked collection of 10 cover songs, which he personally selected and sequenced to celebrate artists and songs that inspired him, including John Lennon's "Watching The Wheels," "Get It While You Can," popularized by Janis Joplin, a new recording of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," and two songs currently available as digital singles, Lorraine Ellison's "Stay With Me Baby" and Chris's 2020 hit "Patience" originally recorded by Guns N' Roses.

The Pretty Reckless� new album Death By Rock And Roll is their most ambitious release yet.

Features �25�, �And So It Went� w/ Tom Morello, & �Only Love Can Save Me Now� w/ Matt Cameron & Kim Thayil.

Mogwai have advanced without a plan since they were teenagers, there have been no secretive meetings to work out the master plan. It is rare to hear a band that has been going for this long, and have this many albums behind them - ten records in and still no disappointments or mistaken creative left turns.You may know what to expect, but you will never get the same. Both transcendent and surprising, As The Love Continues shows that Mogwai are still offering solace from the mundane, supplying the soundtrack to whatever movie you are making in your head.As The Love Continues was originally planned to be recorded in America, but the pandemic led to a relocation to Worcestershire, with producer Dave Fridmann separated by an ocean but appearing like an Orwellian oppressor over the sessions. This pandemic necessity was quickly routine, and it also bought them a little more time. The album features contributions from Atticus Ross ("Midnight Flit") and Colin Stetson ("Pat Stains"), and will arrive almost exactly 25 years after the release of the Mogwai's debut single, "Tuner"/"Lower".Unable to perform the album for the time being, Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite hopes the music can take you from somewhere different to where you are, "unless you are somewhere really amazing and then why are you listening to some weird music like this?"

The FADER

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio�or as it is sometimes referred to, DLO3�specialize in the lost art of �feel good music.� The ingredients of this intoxicating cocktail include a big helping of the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette; a pinch of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.�s and The Meters; and sprinkles Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar. It�s a soul-jazz concoction that goes straight to your heart and head makes your body break out in a sweat.

The band features organist Delvon Lamarr, a self-taught virtuosic musician, with perfect pitch who taught himself jazz and has effortlessly been able to play a multitude of instruments. On guitar is the dynamo Jimmy James who eases through Steve Cropper-style chanking guitar, volcanic acid-rock freak-out lead playing, and slinky Grant Green style jazz. From Reno, Nevada is drummer Dan Weiss (also of the powerhouse soul and funk collective The Sextones). Dan�s smoldering pocket-groove drumming locks in the trio�s explosive chemistry.�
�
Founded by Larmarr�s wife and manager Amy Novo, the trio started from humble beginnings in 2015, but since then has released two Billboard charting albums and toured the world to sold out venues. The trio returns now with their second studio album, I Told You So, with even heavier grooves and more confidence. It may have been several years since their most recent studio effort, but they haven�t missed a beat.

Named for the city that launched the original Alice Cooper group on the road to success, �Detroit Stories� follows last year�s �Breadcrumbs� EP as a modern-day homage to the toughest and craziest Rock n Roll scene there ever was.

In 1970, fledgling producer Bob Ezrin walked into a farmhouse on the outskirts of Detroit to work with the Alice Cooper band. Abandoning flower power Los Angeles, because they were the opposite of the hippie peace and love ideal, Alice had brought his decidedly darker gang back to his birthplace to the legendary rock scene that gave birth to hard rock, garage rock, soul, funk, punk...and more.

Ezrin drilled the band for 10 hours a day to define their signature sound. �Whenever they nailed a song, the inmates at the hospital for the criminally insane across the road cheered and thus the classic Alice Cooper sound was born.

�Los Angeles had its sound with The Doors, Love and Buffalo Springfield,� says Alice Cooper, �San Francisco had the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. New York had The Rascals and The Velvet Underground. But Detroit was the birthplace of angry hard rock. After not fitting in anywhere in the US (musically or image wise) Detroit was the only place that recognized the Alice Cooper guitar driven, hard rock sound and our crazy stage show. Detroit was a haven for the outcasts. And when they found out I was born in East Detroit... we were home.�

50 years later Alice and Ezrin gathered some legendary Detroit musicians in a Detroit studio to record Detroit Stories, Alice Cooper�s new album that celebrates that spirit for a new era.� If 2019�s �Breadcrumbs� EP laid down the trail to the city, Detroit Stories drives like a muscle car right down Woodward Ave.

"Music is medicine to the people" � Common��� A Beautiful Revolution finds Common returning to his hip-hop roots. A full length continuous listening experience, the EP features 2 interludes and 7 new songs that Common refers to as �Movement Music�; music to uplift, heal, and inspire listeners dealing with racial and social injustices. It�s recognition. It�s elevation. It�s music to go with a movement. To help channel pain and outrage into something productive, inspirational and good. Includes the song, �Don�t Forget Who You Are,� which was written and recorded by Common for Bookmarks, an impactful new children�s show produced by the Obamas for Netflix. Lead single and performance video "Say Peace" featuring Black Thought is set to air on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in late 2020.� Limited Indie Red/White/Blue Marble LP

Out on dBpm Records, Love Is The King, a �beautifully honest ode to love and hope,� is the follow-up to 2018�s WARM and 2019�s WARMER, and comes on the heels of Tweedy�s second book, How To Write One Song, out October 13th via Penguin Random House's Dutton. �At the beginning of the lockdown I started writing country songs to console myself. Folk and country type forms being the shapes that come most easily to me in a comforting way. 'Guess Again' is a good example of the success I was having at pushing the world away, counting my blessings � taking stock in my good fortune to have love in my life,� comments Tweedy. �A few weeks later things began to sound like 'Love Is The King' � a little more frayed around the edges with a lot more fear creeping in. Still hopeful but definitely discovering the limits of my own ability to self soothe." �Jeff Tweedy

Mac Miller's family announces a double-disc vinyl box set of his albums Swimming and Circles. Swimming In Circles collects Miller's two final studio albums, which were conceived by the late artist as companion albums, into one deluxe presentation. Now, fans will be able to listen to both releases on vinyl side by side for the first time, experiencing the full narrative arc expressed across the two albums. The new box set will be available on November 20, 2020 through Warner Records.

Circles was released in January 2020 and was the most pre-added album in Apple Music history upon its release. It also debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 Chart, marking Miller's sixth consecutive Top 5 debut on the chart. The album was completed with the assistance of producer Jon Brion, with whom Miller worked on Swimming and had been working together on Circles at the time of his passing.

The Kills have compiled an extraordinary career spanning b-sides and rarities album titled,�appropriately, Little Bastards. The songs date back from the band�s first 7-inch singles in 2002 through to 2009. All of the material has been newly remastered for release on 2 x LP, CD & Digital and marks the first ever vinyl pressing for some of these tracks.

First ignited over trans-Atlantic mixtapes shared between two kindred spirits at the turn�of the Millennium, the past two decades have seen The Kills master a savage balance, unleashing artful detonation and subtle vocal and guitar violence. That�s five albums and�four EPs where Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince reimagined the possibilities of modern duality - alchemizing garage rock, punk, and blues into smoke clouds, psychic carnage, and a smoldering nocturnal slink into a northwest passage between Outkast and Suicide. Their last album, Ash & Ice (2016), was universally lauded, and their most recent release - a 2018 cover of Saul Williams� �List Of Demands� b/w Peter Tosh�s �Stepping Razor� � marked 15 years since their first album as The Kills, 2003�s Keep On Your Mean Side. As performers, their chemistry is unmatched and unfettered; magnetic and enthralling whether drenched in guitar feedback or delivering a piano-led torch song under a single spotlight. The Kills have transcended whatever genres first claimed them and inhabit an entirely unique place in music culture. They are themselves. Inimitable and unparalleled, Little Bastards is a musical refresher manifest as a shot of pure adrenaline. Enjoy the memories. Long may they blaze.

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release from the acclaimed country music singer/songwriter. The album has 14 new tracks and is Chris's first studio album of new material since 2017.

50 years following the release of his self-titled first solo album McCartney, featuring Paul playing every instrument and writing and recording every song, Paul McCartney will release McCartney III on December 11th. Paul hadn�t planned to release an album in 2020, but in the isolation of �Rockdown,� he soon found himself fleshing out some existing musical sketches and creating even more new ones. Before long an eclectic collection of spontaneous songs would become McCartney III: a stripped back, self-produced and, quite literally, solo work marking the opening of a new decade, in the tradition of 1970�s McCartney and 1980�s McCartney II. Recorded earlier this year in Sussex, McCartney III is mostly built from live takes of Paul on vocals and guitar or piano, overdubbing his bass playing, drumming, etc. atop that foundation. McCartney III spans a vast and intimate range of modes and moods, from soul searching to wistful, from playful to raucous and all points between � captured with some of the same gear from Paul�s Rude Studio used as far back as 1971 Wings sessions. And Paul's array of vintage instruments he played on the new album have an even more storied history, including Bill Black of Elvis Presley's original trio's double bass alongside Paul's own iconic Hofner violin bass, and a mellotron from Abbey Road Studios used on Beatles recordings, to name but a few. Just as McCartney�s 1970 release marked Paul�s return to basics in the wake of the biggest band break-up in musical history, and the 1980 avant-garde masterpiece McCartney II rose from the ashes of Wings, McCartney III finds Paul back on his own, turning unexpected circumstances into a personal snapshot of a timeless artist at a unique point in history.

Available only at select record stores.

All proceeds from the album will go to War Child UK to help fill what could�be up to a �2 million deficit they are facing in 2021 caused by the devastating impact of Covid-19 on�their fundraising. These funds are urgently needed to support those who are worst hit by the virus.�

Recorded at the start of the band�s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino tour, Arctic Monkeys - Live At The�Royal Albert Hall, features 20 of the band�s finest moments to date.

My Echo' is my 11th solo album. It's my 'my songs knew I was getting divorced before I did" album. My conscious mind was trying as hard as I could to keep my family together but my subconscious mind was working on the difficult struggles in my marital life. I was part of a 'Secret Poetry Group' that met and wrote poems monthly for a year during the writing of this record. Many of my poems turned into songs for this album. By the time the album was being mixed last fall, my ex-husband/producer Tucker Martine and I had decided to go our separate ways. We were a great musical team for many years but we struggled to be compatible in our marriage and family life and that struggle is reflected in this album.

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Cyr is the 11th studio album by alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The album is the second studio album from the band (after 1995's album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) to be released as a double album, and also the second album of the Shiny and Oh So Bright series. Includes "Confessions of a Dopamine Addict", "Anno Satana", "Ramona", and the title track.

Philadelphia-based indie rockers, The Menzingers made great use of their free time during this summer's stay at home order by recording a "re-imagined" acoustic version of their brilliant 2019 album "Hello Exile." Since forming as teenagers in 2006, The Menzingers have shown their strength as rough-and-tumble storytellers, turning out songs equally rooted in frenetic energy and lifelike detail. On From Exile, the band took their lyrical narrative to a whole new level and share their reflections on moments from the past and present: high-school hellraising, troubled relationships, aging and alcohol and political ennui. And while their songs often reveal certain painful truths, they ultimately maintain the irrepressible spirit that's always defined the band. These acoustic interpretations show once again how beautifully crafted these songs really are.

For the past ten years, San Francisco rock / post-metal luminaries Deafheaven have built one of the most compelling discographies in metal, one that has challenged both the modus operandi and perceptions of the genre. Each critically acclaimed release widened the scope of their particular views of what rock and metal can be. Set to embark on a world tour earlier this year to celebrate their 10th anniversary, Deafheaven had to switch gears when COVID canceled all gatherings across the world, instead teaming with longtime producer Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden studios to bring the show they planned to perform in a studio sessions format. 10 Years Gone includes the first song they ever wrote in "Daedalus" from Demo, which also serves as the first single released from this album, along with fan favorites like 'Dream House' and 'Vertigo' that have an added power in this setting.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release from the alt-rock band led by singer/songwriter Mark Everett (AKA E). Earth to Dora is the follow-up to the band's 2018 release The Deconstruction.

The Ascension is the eighth studio album from singer, songwriter and composer Sufjan Stevens and is the long awaited follow-up to Stevens� Carrie & Lowell. One of the most acclaimed albums of 2015, The New York Times praised Carrie & Lowell as �restrained and meticulous� while Pitchfork declared it �a masterpiece.�

In the time between Carrie & Lowell and the forthcoming The Ascension, Stevens also released Oscar-nominated music for the Luca Guadagnino film Call Me By Your Name; a collaborative album entitled Planetarium with Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner (The National) and James Mcalister; The Decalogue, a solo piano work performed by Timo Andres; and scored several works for ballet: Reflections (Houston Ballet) and Principia (NYCB).

The Ascension is musically expansive and sweeping in thematic scope.

The Drive-By Truckers Austin City Limits performance was recorded on September 23, 2008 during their Brighter Than Creation�s Dark tour. The band lineup featured Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, Shonna Tucker, John Neff, Brad Morgan and Jay Gonzalez. Lauded by fans as an instant classic and hailed by Patterson Hood as the band�s best filmed performance to date, this acclaimed recording is now on vinyl for the first time ever. Pressed on 180g vinyl, this 2xLP package features a new alternate cover printed on a high quality gatefold jacket.

Midnight Manor, the much anticipated sophomore album of the six-piece rock outfit�The Nude Party�is set for release on October 2nd via New West Records. Following two years of non-stop touring in support of their eponymous debut release, the band returned to their farmhouse in New York's Catskill Mountains to record the follow up to their acclaimed 2018 self-titles debut.

Like The Band's sacred home-recording habitat The Big Pink, The Nude Party's communal dwelling provided the landscape and proximity to focus on deepening their bonds through music. It was at the Manor that the band of childhood friends could shift their energies from the archetypical emotional journeys of mid-twenty-somethings towards rebuilding their road-worn relationships with one another, leading them to write Midnight Manor - an album that lead singer Patton Magee describes as "a stone skipping over troubled waters."

With Midnight Manor, The Nude Party shine a light on their past while at the same time moving towards a brighter future.

Pleased To Meet Me is the critically acclaimed fifth studio album by the American rock band The Replacements. Released in 1987 by Sire Records, Pleased To Meet Me is the only album recorded by the band as a trio, after original guitarist Bob Stinson acrimoniously left the band. Following last year�s widely acclaimed Dead Man�s Pop release, Pleased To Meet Me will be receiving a similar �deep dive� treatment with a 3-CD/1-LP deluxe boxed set, which will tell the story of the album in ways not previously possible with more than 50% of the content previously unreleased.

ROGER WATERS: US + THEM, chronicles the acclaimed 2017-2018 tour of the iconic Pink Floyd artist. As the founding member, lyricist, composer and creative force behind Pink Floyd, US + THEM presents Waters powerful music in stunning form and highlights its� message of human rights, liberty and love. Based around his acclaimed, sold-out US + THEM worldwide tour of 2017-18, comprising a total of 156 shows to 2.3 million people across the globe, it features classic songs from The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here as well as his most recent album, Is This The Life We Really Want?

Waters powerfully demonstrates that he is at heart, a musical activist and one of the most passionate political commentators of his time. He has dedicated his life to fighting against those who seek to control our lives and destroy our planet. Welcome To The Machine and Another�Brick In The Wall Part II, are a stark reminder of the bleak warnings that he gave decades ago about alienation, displacement, greed, suffering, destruction and loss. And yet the humanity of the songwriter cannot be more plainly seen than in Wish You Were Here, because, although he presents a grim picture of the state of the world, ultimately his message is one of hope through unity and love.

For his fourth album, Keep �Em on They Toes, Brent Cobb is giving his songs the space they need to speak for themselves, a reflection of his own decision to write about the way he sees the world. �My last couple of albums have been about people and places, and I wanted this album to be about thoughts and feelings,� he says.

At his core, Cobb still writes country songs, so there�s a continuity between Keep �Em on They Toes and past projects like 2016�s Shine on Rainy Day (a Grammy nominee for Best Americana Album) and 2018�s Providence Canyon. After living in LA and Nashville to develop his music career, Cobb and his family moved back to Georgia a few years ago � a decision that affected his songwriting. �It�s funny because the last two albums were about me growing up in Georgia, and now we�re back here,� he says. �I�m not writing about missing it anymore, so the songs are coming from within now. It�s not a longing for home, it�s what I think about now that I live down here.�

Cobb and his band recorded the project in Durham, North Carolina, with producer Brad Cook. Inspired by the spaciousness of classic country albums like Jerry Lee Lewis� 1977 Country Memories, the new project allows the listener to hear everything that�s going on, yet the songs remain the star of the show.

Keep �Em on They Toes, Cobb captures the mindset of a man who values a simpler time despite living in a modern world. �To me, listening to this album feels like I�m sitting there with somebody, having a conversation,� Cobb says. �I would hope that it feels like sitting with an old friend you haven�t seen in a while. There�s nothing like being alone and listening to an album that is quiet and conversational � like those old records by Jerry Lee Lewis, Roger Miller, or Willie Nelson. I hope my music is that way to somebody now.�

PALO ALTO After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1968, racial tensions across the country rose. Palo Alto, a largely white college town in Cali, wasn't immune. Danny Scher, a junior at the high school, had a dream to have Thelonious Monk perform and help bring about racial unity the community while raising funds for the International Committee. After many twists and turns, the triumphantly successful concert eventually happened. #vinyl LP

As chaos envelopes the world, Manson penned the perfect prescription. The aptly titled WE ARE CHAOS was written/produced by Manson & Shooter Jennings. Rock & roll icon and painter, Manson continues to infiltrate fashion, film, and music, leaving his fingerprints on modern culture. "Making this record, I had to think to myself: Tame your crazy, stitch your suit, try to pretend that you are not an animal. But I knew that mankind is the worst of them all.�

**Down In The Valley Exclusive** Limited to 300 copies on seafoam green vinyl!

The follow-up to Soul Asylum's 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union fell victim to heightened expectations, but, contrary to the majority of criticism in the alternative music press, this was no major label sell-out. While it was true that Let Your Dim Light Shine boasted such radio-friendly tunes as the single �Misery� (you know you've made it when Weird Al Yankovic covers one of your songs!) and the electro-acoustic ballad �Promises Broken,� the commercial success of Grave Dancers Union allowed songwriter Dave Pirner the freedom to expand the stylistic reach of the band and even sneak in some genuinely experimental tracks, like �Caged Rat.� Being a mid-�90s release, this album was available on vinyl for only a heartbeat; our Down In The Valley reissue features the original jacket and inner sleeve art, and comes in a seafoam green vinyl color, limited to 300 copies! Co-produced by Butch Vig of Nevermind fame�
