Montreal's dreamy Pop quartet huddled in their basement to make this followup to 2017's "Sugar At The Gate." Once you hear the bright color and sunshine emanating from eleven new tracks, you would they recorded in sunny Brazil.

For his second massive collaboration, Richard Russell digs in deep to blistering American Hip-Hop and its British offshoot Grime. “Friday Feeling” is gritty and dark with booming beats and rumbling synths. Creating this backdrop then allows Russell’s list of contributors to provide either character (Ghostface Killah) or shafts of much-needed light (Ibeyi and Infinite Coles.)

After several albums ranging from the sepia-tone radio transmissions from his early days to more Rock-oriented later explorations, "Migration Stories" is the most modern-sounding record he has ever made. Working with Richard Reed Parry and the Arcade Fire's Tim Kingsbury gives these tracks a more meditative Pop sheen. Still, his wisps of melody and the beatnik poetry lyrics make "Migration Stories" yet another in the series of great records from Ward.

Edmonton duo Purity Ring strives to construct an entirely different world on its third album “Womb.” Megan James uses her bubbly voice to move between fragility (“Peacefall”) and triumph (“Stardew”) guiding these ten songs along the dreamiest path.

First it was Black Metal and Nordic Folk on instruments native to Scandinavia. Amalie Brunn finds a halfway point between soothing and high-speed to reframe more known Folk songs.

The second portion of his followup to the multi-platinum "Traveller." Like "Traveler" and "Vol.1," Stapleton rolls out sturdy 60's/70's Country with an emphasis on the Outlaw days. Unlike "Traveler," "Vol.2" revives the sentiment that your best Country performers should also be listed among the best Country songwriters.

The backstory alone makes this 1979 album classic. After a pair of albums on Shelter, the band was sold with the label to parent MCA. Petty went into bankruptcy fighting this in court and secretly made this album in seclusion. When the album was released, the music industry was in a tailspin. Three million copies later and 2 Top 20 singles, Petty was a household name.

After his short stint in the Yardbirds, session guitarist Jimmy Page was charged with putting together a "New Yardbirds." Page and fellow session man John Paul Jones found complete newcomers Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham and became a turbocharged refinement of the Blues with this blistering debut.

This original stereo mix of the classic King Crimson debut was made from the master tapes by Crimson leader Robert Fripp. "Crimson King" was the album that changed Prog Rock and pushed it into the spotlight. Classic.

2019's major label debut from Americana/Country fave Tyler Childers. "Country Squire" is as far from commercial (in either category) as possible as Childers goes completely Traditional while keeping his stories modern.

Eighteen songs that define Delta Blues ranging from Big Joe Williams to Son House to Blind Willie Johnson.

The all-new soundtrack with original songs from "Frozen II" by its cast of characters as played by Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Kristen Bell and more.

While isolation is implied by the title, this album grown from slow and methodical to patient and personal since its release in 1996.

After establishing herself as one of the new pack of artists, "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom" is Halsey formulating a vision for herself. "Kingdom" dips into EDM, Soul and Pop, and demonstrates that her melodies and ideas will soon place her in a class by herself.

Recently unearthed from Prince's voluminous cache of recordings (known as The Vault,) this 1983 set is just Prince and his piano playing live in his home studio in Chanhassen, MN.

What was envisioned as another collection of Marley songs, "Legend" is that rare greatest hits album that is far more than hits. Assembled out of chronological order, it still tells his story better than any other album. Now on

It was a long journey from Port Arthur, TX to San Francisco, CA. After discovering her love of Big Mama Thornton and her shredding voice, she sang with future San Francisco stars as early as 1964.

Over the next four years, Joplin released three albums and these ten songs give you the best place to explore her important, but all-too-brief career.

For their fifth studio album, The Kentucky Rock hitmakers channel personal conflict into a sleeker and more mature brand of Modern Rock resulting in yet another Grammy win.

Perhaps the greatest album of all time. Radiohead's quantum leap in melody, storytelling, mood, and lyrics that still inspire bands today.

The chanteuse's 16 greatest hits on one LP.

Beck has caromed between styles before ("Odelay" followed by "Mutations,) but the crestfallen Beck of 2002 made an album so thought-provoking and deep - many thought there was no turning back after this moody masterpiece.

While their early albums are essential, this collection of singles makes the best starting point to understand the timeless influence of The Misfits.

From the Peguis First Nation in Manitoba to award-winning singer/songwriter. "Reliever" shows Prince as a gifted songwriter with a gift of a voice.

1981 classic album that shot the Prog Rockers into the Rock stratosphere. Whatever they honed in concert is played to perfection in the studio as they give you one of handful of records that is equally exemplary of both technology and performance.

Aaron Maine's second album as Porches is a love album per se. "Ricky Music" is steady downbeat Synth Pop with elegant touches that bring light and encapsulate the restless wanting that most love albums ignore.

Few albums over nothing but hits from start-to-finish. The 1977 album from Fleetwood Mac. From its release, "Rumours" has sold 40 million copies worldwide, topped the charts in both the US and the UK while spawning four Top 10 singles. Today, i

After three albums, British blues quartet Led Zeppelin had swarms of fans but no respect from critics. This 1971 album changed that in one fell swoop, placing Led Zeppelin in the pantheon of the greatest Rock bands of all time - where they have been ever since.

Dan Snaith as Caribou or Manitoba has made some glistening glittering Psychedelic Synth Pop. However, on "Suddenly," he masterfully switches gears to a more sample-laden Soul-based mix and sings. Highly recommended.

One of the youngest songwriters ever signed to a publishing deal with prestigious Sony/ATV, Conor Oberst has been writing music furiously for almost his entire life. What was once just his scrappy bedroom recordings has grown into a full band - again. For their 10th record (and first in 10 years,) Oberst is joined by massive ensemble including drummer Jon Theodore, bassist Flea, Nate Walcott, The Watson Twins and more. While the music behind him is huge, bursting with horns and large parts (the sweltering "Mariana Trench,") Oberst's writing remains like it always is: edgy and highly literate. As he quivers over his history ("One And Done") or even our history - "Weeds" secures his place again.

Halsey's third album sees the artist trying out a persona - herself.

For his fourth album Country megastar, Chris Stapleton looks to stay tried and true. Stapleton has never been one to court the mainstream, especially in commercial Country music. "From A Room" was designed to follow and build on "Traveler" showing Stapleton's range and reach. "Starting Over" is all about the simple pleasures of life. Morgane is along again as well as his band. For this new release, Stapleton is joined by heavy-hitters in former Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Stapleton is also covering a pair of songs from outsider Country legend Guy Clark.  PREORDER the LP "Starting Over" coming on Friday, November 13th.

As the son of Folk singer-gone Experimentalist Tim Buckley, Jeff had some large shoes to fill. However, given his passionate voice and writing skill, his lone LP "Grace" continues to inspire listeners that identify with ability to be haunting (

Always a prolific composer, "Hounds of Love" was Kate Bush's breakthrough as her heavenly voice matched perfectly with the Fairlight CMI Synthesizer. Using the Fairlight, Bush discovered she could emulate any sound she wanted. With no band, she could layer melodies to her heart's content. "Hounds of Love" delivered her fourth Top 10 album in the UK and broke through to the Top 30 in the US thanks to the classic "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God.)"

While they have been instrumental for their entire career, the sinuous Texas trio vocalizes on every cut from this new album. Khruangbin continues to bottle their simmering mixture of Funk, Soul, and the flickering melodies of Eastern music. "Mordechai" marks their move toward more Pop structure with their trademark exotic pan-African rhythms and melodies pushed right upfront.

For his first album since the breakthrough "The Nashville Sound," Grammy-winner Jason Isbell and his watertight band return to Studio A in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb for a rousing record of modern Americana with a dash of Rock that includes guest appearances by Rival Sons' Jay Buchanan and the legendary David Crosby.

The mythic Stooges once roamed the earth dishing out bracing pre-Punk/Heavy Metal with reckless abandon. What began as four young Detroit urchins banging on guitars and oil cans, became the first ripple in a major musical movement. This never-before-released 1970 show captures the Stooges at their manic peak

After thirty-six albums (and to be honest, most are at least essential to hear even as they are transitional, too production-era specific or just portraits of world-weariness) Dylan still has THAT voice. Beneath his wizened rasp, the words just roll off of the tongue like you imagine his pen hitting the page. “Rough and Rowdy Ways” is a return to the later triptych of classic Dylan. With his longtime band led by Charlie Sexton, this is another chapter in his American saga. Like “Love and Theft,” his honesty is bruising even as the bluesy backdrop gives way to Harmonium-led hymns that you will need ten or more passes to get all the references. Like the underrated “Modern Times,” Dylan is stretching himself beyond the expectations of anyone. Like “Blood on the Tracks,” Dylan sounds snakebitten and vicious, but alive and inspired. Finally, like “Highway 61 Revisited,” these songs are heavy on coded, almost Biblical messages that tell a uniquely American story and add yet another layer to his mythos.

Canadian singer Colter Wall finds himself as the vanguard artist of a revival of his nation's once vibrant Folk/Country/Americana scene. "Western Swing" promises to be another stunning album that reflects his home like "Songs of the Plains."

Double beige colored vinyl LP pressing. "Most of the things I had planned this summer didn't end up happening, but there is something I hadn't planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my eighth studio album, folklore," she said, letting fans know she poured all her whims, dreams, fears, musings into the 17 tracks. "I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine; Aaron Dessner, Bon Iver, William Bowery & Jack Antonoff."

Outside of incorporating NWOBHM and Thrash Metal to reforge American Metal and Rock, Bay Area titans Metallica have constructed a catalog of songs whose compositional prowess demand multiple interpretations. In 2019, the fearsome foursome reunited with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra to perform more of their songs with the thrill of a symphony behind them. Now, the very best performances from that two-night event have been collected for S&M 2.

Johnny Cash's classic 1964 album featuring "Understand Your Man" and "Big River" plus many more meticulously remastered and pressed to 2LP from Mobile Fidelity using their unique Direct to Disc system. Very limited edition. Pick up yours out of the 3000 that are being printed on Friday, August 7th

Often misunderstood, The Stones 13th album from 1973 solidified the band as both stars of AOR radio (with several deep cuts from this record staying in rotation) and Top 40 stations ("Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" went Top 20, while the ballad "Angie" hit #1.) This new remaster adds several studio tracks that did not make the cut including "Scarlet" featuring Jimmy Page.

Their Grammy-nominated debut has been expanded and repressed on two color LPs -- for a limited time.

On his latest magnum opus, Abel Tesfaye extracts harmony from disenchantment. Bloodied (like the cover) and bruised but relentless in his pursuit of the almighty hit. The single "Flashing Lights" (still in Heavy Rotation everywhere) gets very close. Otherwise, Tesfaye finds a unique mezzanine between romanticism (his ongoing love of R&B and Hip-Hop) and pessimism (several of these cuts could skew New Wave or even Post-Punk.)"After Hours" may be his best album since his opening trilogy.

Mr. Bungle played their first gig in 1985 as Mike Patton, Trey Spruance and Trevor Dunn were only teenagers. Now, for their first release in 21 years - they have "re-constructed" their demo into this very limited release coming out 10.30.20

You heard it here first - it's the Gold Record we always knew Bill Callahan had in him! Last summer, he returned from a silence of years - now, he's raring to go with another new one already. The abiding humanity of latter-day Callahan is highlighted by dark plumes of caustic wit upending standards of our everyday life and the songs that celebrate it: the job, the wife, the TV, the neighbors. Bill slips easily into his characters, whether they're easy people or not - and the cross-hatch of their light and shadow is unpredictably entertaining in the manner that belongs only one singer in this whole wide world: we're still talking about Bill Callahan. Preorder now as "Gold Record" appears to the world September 25th

Sturgill Simpson will be releasing his new concept album, The Ballad of Dood and Juanita, on CD on August 20th. Vinyl release will be December 3rd. This is the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter's third album in twelve months and his most ambitious project to date. Written and recorded in less than a week, and featuring the same ace musicians who played on last year's Cuttin' Grass albums, the record tells a classic American story of a Civil War-era couple torn apart by violence and reunited by love—what Simpson calls "a simple tale of either redemption or revenge."

For his fourth album Country megastar, Chris Stapleton looks to stay tried and true. Stapleton has never been one to court the mainstream, especially in commercial Country music. "From A Room" was designed to follow and build on "Traveler" showing Stapleton's range and reach. "Starting Over" is all about the simple pleasures of life. Morgane is along again as well as his band. For this new release, Stapleton is joined by heavy-hitters in former Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Stapleton is also covering a pair of songs from outsider Country legend Guy Clark.  PREORDER the LP "Starting Over" coming on Friday, November 13th.

On her third album of interpretations, Chan Marshall visits these favorites like one would see old friends. Like Billie Holiday, the more stark the arrangement, the more you can hear the power and dexterity in her voice. With only piano and guitar, Marshall makes the Tin Pan Alley standard all hers. Now for the unexpected. In her third act, Marshall puts together ballads you might expect from her (Jackson Browne’s “These Days”) with modern songs that expose new range for her (Frank Ocean’s “Bad Religion.”) Not only is “Covers” not just another Cat Power “covers” album - its Marshall’s continued growth as an artist and interpreter.TracklistingBad Religion - Frank OceanUnhate - Cat Power - Chan MarshallPa Pa Power - Dead Man’s BonesA Pair of Brown Eyes - The PoguesAgainst the Wind - Bob SegerEndless Sea - Iggy PopThese Days - Jackson BrowneIt Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels - Kitty WellsI Had a Dream Joe - Nick CaveHere Comes a Regular - The ReplacementsI’ll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday

Pitchfork's first 10.0 in a decade was awarded to Fiona Apple's first album in eight years. Written and recorded at home, these thirteen cuts benefit from their immediacy and intimacy. Apple's new songs cut through with visceral melodies and clever lyrics.
