5 Seconds of Summer - Everyone's a Star LP (Republic)

Formed in Sydney, Australia in 2011, 5 Seconds of Summer have grown from local high school friends into one of the biggest bands of the 21st century. Across fourteen years, the multi-platinum group has sold over 18 million albums, moved more than six million tickets worldwide, and achieved three Billboard 200 #1 debuts, while winning multiple accolades at the ARIA Awards, MTV EMAs, MTV VMAs, and beyond. Known for their genre-defying collaborations and globe-spanning tours, the quartet continue to reinvent what a modern band can be. With the release of their highly anticipated sixth album Everyone's A Star! - their first under Republic Records - 5 Seconds of Summer usher in their most ambitious era yet, pioneering a genre bending sound led by the explosive single "Not OK." [Pink glitter vinyl pressing.]

The 502s - Easy Street 2xLP (Big Loud Records)

Infectiously energetic beach folk band The 502s present their new album, their first released through Big Loud Records. The album doubles down on their mission as "the happiest band on Earth" - offering a baker's dozen of tracks filled with their signature sunshine-y artistry and summer-inspired joy. Hailing from Florida, the five closeknit band members draw inspiration from the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers infusing their rambunctious work with "stomping sounds, blaring trumpets, and charismatic personalities," (Cowboys & Indians). [Crystal blue with pink marble vinyl pressing.]

Alchemical Theatre - Alchemical Theatre CD (Tzadik)

Friends and musical cohorts since the early 1980s, these three master improvisers (Jim Staley, Ikue Mori, and John Zorn) come together to perform a freewheeling set of outrageous and mind-blowing improvisations. Recorded at Roulette, founded in 1978 and one of New York’s most adventurous venues, the music is full of surprising twists and jumps from one mood to another with mercurial synchronicity. Dedicated to the memory of Downtown theatrical genius Richard Foreman, Alchemical Theatre presents nine pieces of telepathic, counter-intuitive New York improvisation by three legendary figures of the Downtown scene.

Austra - Chin Up Buttercup CD/LP (Domino)

“I’m so chaotic in love,” sings Katie Austra Stelmanis on “Amnesia,” the cinematic opening track of Chin Up Buttercup, the fifth album by her alter ego and longtime pop project Austra. Listen closely and you’ll hear a vulnerability that sets this album apart from her earlier work - this is a grief album you can dance to. Stelmanis and co-producer Kieran Adams shared a mutual love of pop divas, Eurodance and hard-to-find techno. Madonna’s 1998 album Ray of Light, produced by William Orbit, was a key influence in the later stages of album making: “Ray of Light was produced almost entirely on a Juno-106 and a Korg MS-20 which we’d been using, so the reference point was aligned,” says Stelmanis. The album sounds like a mix of hypnotic dance floor anthems and elegant melodies to soothe your broken heart. [Limited edition neon orange vinyl pressing.]

AVTT/PTTN (The Avett Brothers & Mike Patton) - AVTT/PTTN CD/LP (Ramseur Records)

Scott and Seth Avett are the brothers behind the chart-topping, Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers. Mike Patton is the journeyman rock icon best known as the frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Together, they are AVTT/PTTN, a project that finds these three kindred spirits on equal footing as songwriters and collaborators, no one party seeming to hold greater creative influence over the other. Throughout the record, there's an ease and musical seamlessness to how these first-time collaborators lock in with each other. [Indie exclusive metallic color vinyl pressing. Vinyl shipped late and should arrive next week.]

Ben Quad - Wisher LP (Pure Noise)

On their new album Wisher, Oklahoma's Ben Quad takes a bold step forward, dialing back the breakneck chaos of their debut in favor of something softer, more expansive, and emotionally resonant. Where I'm Scared That's All There Is established the band as leaders of the new "riff-heavy emo punk" wave, Wisher widens the lens, weaving in moments of vulnerability, reflection, and melody without losing the urgency that put them on the map. - The record is elevated by powerful guest spots from Microwave, Sam Canty of Treaty Oak Revival, and Sweet Pill, each pushing Ben Quad further into new sonic territory. 

Bonobo - Lazarus OST LP (Milan Records)

"Play me something with the vibe of a man who sold his soul to the devil." In Lazarus, that's the cue for Bonobo's 15-track score to take over-bringing a cool, pulsing energy to Shinichirō Watanabe's latest anime epic. Blending electronic, trip-hop, and cinematic textures, Bonobo's music underscores the tense and atmospheric moments of a future where the miracle drug "Hapna" went from salvation to humanity's doom. Pressed in a stunning color variant and tailored for collectors, this edition captures Bonobo's score the way it's meant to be heard-warm, detailed, and ready to spin for years to come.

Burial - Comafields / Imaginary Festival 12" (Hyperdub)

New 2 track EP from Burial on Hyperdub.

Cheap Trick - All Washed Up LP (BMG)

New record from indisputable, indispensable American rock n' roll band Cheap Trick as they celebrate their 50th anniversary as a band. [Indie exclusive orange & blue marble vinyl pressing.] 

The Cosmic Tones Research Trio - The Cosmic Tones Research Trio CD/cassette (Mississippi Records)

On their self-titled second album, The Cosmic Tones Research Trio—featuring Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett—dives deeper into the spiritual soundscapes that first defined their genre-defying approach. Blending cello, alto sax, piano, flutes, and an eclectic palette of textures and percussions, the album channels a sacred energy that feels both ancient and forward-reaching. It is music for reflection, for movement, and for inner travel. This is not background music—it’s an invitation to engage fully, to breathe with the instruments, and to explore the liminal space where sound becomes prayer. 

Floating Points - Lazarus OST LP (Milan Records)

"Every second counts when the end is near." In Lazarus, Floating Points delivers a score that let's you feel every tick of the clock-slowing time just enough to sink into each moment. Across 6 tracks, his mix of electronic textures, jazz-inflected rhythms, and hypnotic grooves scores from quieter to high-tension scenes-and now, that atmosphere is captured in a stunning vinyl form.

Jake Xerxes Fussell & James Elkington - Rebuilding LP (Fat Possum)

Acclaimed songwriters Jake Xerxes Fussell and James Elkington have collaborated on their first original film score for Rebuilding, the poignant new feature film written and directed by Max Walker-Silverman. Following up new work from both artists in 2025 – Fussell released his fifth album in July, while Elkington shared a sprawling new double LP back in March – the soundtrack is a natural meeting point for the pair’s individual work, formed of textural pieces that fold beautifully into the hushed drama of the film. 

Guitar - We're Headed to the Lake cassette (Winspear)

Portland's Indie rock band Guitar continues to make heavy waves in the underground music scene with their fearlessly experimental, ever-evolving sound and commanding showmanship. Fusing elements of 90's slacker rock, post-punk and beatmaking, Guitar accomplishes multitudes, challenging their audience to think harder about what they actually need from music.  The answer is that they need more Guitar.

Gurriers - Come and See LP (No Filter)

A year on from the release of Gurriers acclaimed debut album, Come and See, and word of mouth on these noisy Irish rabble rousers gathers increasing pace through their incendiary live sets, sold-out UK and European tours, and festivals appearances from Glastonbury to Rock Werchter. A raging combination of punk, noise, alt-rock, and shoegaze coupled with Dan Hoff's intense socio-political lyricism.

Steve Hauschildt - Aeropsia LP (Simul Records)

Steve Hauschildt returns after six years with a new album titled Aeropsia. After a transcontinental relocation from the US to Tbilisi, Georgia, the electronic composer emerges from a personal and global transformation to explore themes of perceptual distortion, disconnection, and renewal. In the years since his last solo release, Hauschildt's world has been marked by relocation and a growing sense of global turbulence. These experiences became the raw material for a work that navigates institutional haze and uncertainty itself. The result is music that employs decay as method, structure as entropy, and mutation as expression. While Aeropsia remains subjective in its vision, Hauschildt invited two previous collaborators to expand the album's gravitational pull. Cellist Lia Kohl, who previously performed on Nonlin, returns and brings a tactile warmth to select tracks, while guitarist Michael Vallera threads spectral harmonics into the mix.

Jesca Hoop - Selective Memory LP (Last Laugh)

California-born, Manchester based Jesca Hoop is what you'd call a musician's musician. Having worked with producers John Parish (PJ Harvey), Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes) Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers) her 6 albums of original work have brought huge acclaim from fans and critics alike, and it's easy to see why: her expertly crafted songs, rooted in the folk tradition, are intricately detailed, harmonic curiosities teeming with bright ideas and rich emotions. Selective Memory is an unplugged reimagining of Jesca Hoop's fourth studio album Memories Are Now, joining the cast of stripped back album versions for her first three releases. Aligned with this tradition in its rough and ready aesthetic, Hoop and her two band mates, Chloe Foy and Rachel Rimmer, captured the album top to tail performed live in Jesca's home in Manchester, UK. This album is filled with brilliant harmony, bountiful lyrics, and genuine performances. It is sweet and bitter, fresh, and raw, and very much of the moment.

Boldy James - 1LB LP (Near Mint)

Boldy James and producer Your Boy Posca join forces to create a new sound within Boldy's world of countless, yet quality, projects. With a classy, laid back approach of grimey soul samples and spooky 1980's aesthetic, the tape flows flawlessly top to bottom as Boldy paints a unique portrait of a Midwest drug dealer.

Lang Lang - Piano Book 2 2xLP (Deutsche Grammophon)

A follow-up to the unprecedented success of the original 2019 collection. A compilation of the most popular short pieces for piano known, taught and played by players and piano lovers of all ages everywhere. Including iconic classical pieces, works by contemporary composers including soundtracks, gaming and anime, as well as unique arrangements. The album reflects Lang Lang's love of the piano, the joy of music making and his wish to inspire others, which he does through activities including Lang Lang Foundation. 2 LP set features 27 tracks. 

Tony Molina - On This Day LP (Slumberland)

Tony Molina has been putting out records with marked consistency for well over twenty years, and "On This Day" might be the most Tony Molina album yet – an achingly beautiful set of 21 songs that feels like a choice selection of lost singles (or deep cuts). The album was produced and recorded by Tony and Alicia Vanden Heuvel (The Aislers Set) to 8 track ½” analog tape in their San Francisco home studio. The album was augmented by contributions from live bandmates Rachel Orimo (vocals), Stephen Oriolo (guitar), and Steve Kerwin (drums), as well as long-time friend (and Ladybug Transistor founder) Gary Olson on trumpet. An unhurried home recording process gave them plenty of time to experiment and hone the arrangements, adding Mellotron, piano, organ, bells, trumpet and more to exquisite effect. Timeless folk/rock gems alternate seamlessly with straight-up acoustic folk tunes, intricate classical guitar interludes and baroque/soft-pop delicacies.

NF - Fear CD (NF Real Music)

New EP from the hip-hop artist.

Niis - Niis World LP (Get Better Records)

Niis synthesizes the sounds of punk, hardcore, lo-fi garage, and early grunge to create an undefinable noise that is original and all their own. The band’s songs are reflections of Mimi’s lived experiences and commentary on what it’s like to grow up in a male-dominated music scene permeated with misogyny and sexism. [Clear with blue & green splatter vinyl pressing.]

Sleaford Mods - Megaton / Give Em What They Want 7" (Rough Trade)

Over an arc of rolling beats and atmospheric electronics, the track is peppered with acerbic bars digging out cultural mediocrity. A union of groove and guile, Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn are ruffling feathers and moving feet with their first new release as Sleaford Mods since 2023 album UK GRIM.

Soyuz - Krok LP (Mr Bongo)

Recently released on CD, now available on vinyl. Fourth album from the Belarusian jazz act. Though primarily recorded in Brazil, Krok is not a Brazilian or MPB album. It blends the band's Eastern European roots with jazz, folk and global influences. The genre of the music is hardly identifiable: there are folk ballads and jazz-driven pop compositions covered in lush and often dissonant string and woodwind arrangements where each note is placed with care and meaning behind it.

Sword II - Electric Hour CD/LP (Section1)

In a rundown house in Atlanta, where the basement flooded, the air smelled like mildew, and the landlord tried to evict them for using it as an "electronic rock band facility," Sword II made the most ambitious, accessible, and electrically charged music of their lives. Electric Hour marks Sword II's first fully cohesive statement after working in an experimental, song-by-song mode. From psych and hardcore punk to a sense of drama and theatricality, they've forged a raw, unadorned, defiant sound.

Henry Threadgill - Listen Ship LP (Pi Recordings)

Listen Ship is the latest masterpiece in the ever-expanding sound world of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill, whom The New York Review of Books recently described as "one of American music's great Romantics and a lifelong seeker of the sublime." The new work is a suite for six acoustic guitars - including individual stylists such as Bill Frisell, Miles Okazaki and Brandon Ross - and two pianos that utilize Threadgill's unique intervallic syntax to illuminate his idiosyncratic vision. The eight string instruments revel in the music's painstaking detail with intricate gestures that miraculously entwine to form a grand statement. The meticulous orchestration highlights all of the usual characteristics of Threadgill's music: unusual forms, unexpected timbres, and slippery counterpoint and rhythms, all shaped by the composer's conducting into a singular experience.

Summer Walker - Finally Over It 2xLP (LVRN Records)

Summer Walker’s ‘Finally Over It’ closes the ‘Over It’ trilogy with her most unapologetic project yet. Split in two parts, it’s a raw look at modern dating: protect your peace or trade love for stability. “For Better” leans into reflection and self-worth, while “For Worse” imagines a life where luxury can replace intimacy. Across 18 tracks, Summer weighs her options and closes one of R&B’s most compelling trilogies with her boldest statement yet. [Indie exclusive bone colored vinyl pressing with alternate artwork.]

Colter Wall - Memories and Empties CD/LP (RCA)

Memories and Empties is the 5th studio album from the timeless voice of Colter Wall. Recorded live at historic RCA Studio A, with his longtime road band, this new record contains 10 tracks, including hit single “1800 Miles.” Memories and Empties finds Colter at the heart of traditional country music. Hints of Western swing and authentic honky tonk combine for a listening experience like an evening at your favorite hometown bar. [Opaque bone colored vinyl pressing.]

Kamasi Washington - Lazarus OST 2xLP (Milan Records)

"There are only 30 days until humanity is doomed." In Lazarus, Kamasi Washington's explosive score answers that countdown with energy and heart- a sonic lifeline for Axel's mission against the clock to stop Hapna's deadly fallout. Across 11 immersive tracks, Kamasi's bold jazz fusion pumps through the show's urgent action and desperation, matching the pace of a world teetering on the brink, and now you can own it in vinyl.

Various Artists - The Chess Records Christmas Album LP (Verve)

From gospel to soul to electric blues, 'The Chess Records Christmas Album' is a celebration of the label's 75-year legacy and a welcome alternative to the usual jingled bells and decked halls. [Limited edition blue vinyl pressing.]

Coil - Live One CD (Retractor)

Recently released on vinyl, now available on CD. Live One is the legendary recording of Coil's much anticipated performance in April of 2000 at London's Royal Festival Hall (as part of Julian Cope's “Cornucopea“ mini festival). With a line-up of John Balance, Peter “Sleazy“ Christopherson, Thighpaulsandra and Ossian Brown, COIL took the RFH stage decked out in their custom designed fluffy polar Teletubby suits to perform a supremely hypnotic set, somewhat reminiscent of their seminal Time Machines release but adding variation and tension largely absent from that drone masterpiece. Balance's vocal delivery on “Queens of the Circulating Library“ is still a very controlled but effective affair and quite different from his later manic outbursts.

Darkthrone - F.O.A.D. CD (Peaceville)

In 2007, the legendary Norwegian duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto introduced their new slab of evil rock – hot on the hells of 2006’s classic ‘The Cult Is Alive’ release – with the defiantly titled ‘F.O.A.D.’ (‘Fuck Off & Die’); a further stand against the polished & plastic sounds of the times. Mixed & self-produced at the band’s own Necrohell 2 studios throughout the first half of 2007, this labour of love (or hate) travelled deep into the open seas of a rich musical heritage; a celebration of rock & metal; moving further from the pure primitive black metal they were once known for, but still embracing the roots of what made this tree grow so far & wide.

Bizimungu Dieudonne - Inzovu Y'Imirindi LP (Mississippi Records)

In the late 1980s, singer Bizimungu Diudonne, his wife Agnes Umbibizi, and a backing band of family and friends self-released a visionary cassette, featuring stuttering electric guitars, loping bass lines, and call and response vocals. Their combo of 80s studio wizardry rooted in traditional Rwandan praise songs resulted in hypnotic, extended jams unlike anything else released in East Africa at the time. The lyrics praised the beauty of the countryside and the exploits of the ancient gods. On plaintive acoustic tracks squeezed between the electric bangers, Bizimungu and Agnes called for unity in the divided nation. This album has been beautifully remastered at Osiris Studios and pressed on the highest quality vinyl at David Rawlings’ Paramount Press. 

Drive-by Truckers - The Definitive Decoration Day 3xCD/4xLP (New West Records)

The remixed 2003 classic album, Decoration Day, remastered by acclaimed engineer Greg Calbi.

A stripped-down, acoustic show from the band's hometown, recorded a year before Decoration Day's release. Featuring novel and tight live takes on most of the album's tracks - several performed for the first time ever - with additional back catalog tracks to round out this dynamic and raw set. [Indie exclusive olive green vinyl pressing.]

Revisit your favorite tracks from the iconic Disney film, The Emperor's New Groove. [Lemonade and grape color vinyl pressing.]

Everything But the Girl - The Best of Everything But the Girl 2xLP (Buzzin Fly Records)

The definitive compilation from Everything But the Girl, the bestselling duo formed in 1982 by singer-writer-musicians Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn. Spanning over forty years from their indie jazz-folk debut, Night and Day, to the acclaimed contemporary electronica of 2023's UK Top 3 album, Fuse, the collection includes the 1995 global dancefloor smash, Missing (Todd Terry Remix), hit singles I Don't Want To Talk About It, Walking Wounded and Each And Every One, and deep evergreen cuts from their pioneering career.

Bryan Ferry - Bête Noire LP (BMG)

Reissued for the first time since 1987, Bryan Ferry's 'Bête Noire' is a masterclass in moody sophistication, blending art-pop, jazz-tinged balladry and late-'80s electronic textures into a rich, cinematic whole. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the album features collaborations with some of the era's finest musicians, including guitarist Johnny Marr (The Smiths), whose co-writing credit on the brooding lead single "The Right Stuff" brings an edgier undercurrent to Ferry's signature style. With production contributions from Patrick Leonard (known for his work with Madonna), 'Bête Noire' stands as one of Ferry's most ambitious and polished solo statements. [Limited edition purple vinyl pressing.]

Ella Fitzgerald - Jukebox Ella: The Complete Verve Singles Volume 2 3xCD (Verve)

Ella Fitzgerald began her glorious association with the newly formed Verve label in 1956, and her Verve album debut 'Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book,' bankrolled the label's initial success. Singles taken from that album turned out to be big hits, as did many other singles in this collection, all of which were pulled from Ella's albums and helped make them top-selling LPs. 'Jukebox Ella: The Complete Verve Singles, Volume 2' provides 3 CDs worth of snapshots of Fitzgerald, singing with an incomparable level of artistry, whether it's songs by Cole Porter, the Gershwins or the Beatles.

Floetry - Floetic 2xLP (Geffen)

Floetry's 'Floetic' is a landmark R&B/Soul album, showcasing their unique blend of poetic lyrics and soulful melodies. This special 2LP vinyl edition brings their timeless sound to life, perfect for both new listeners and long-time fans.

Stan Getz - Focus LP (Verve)

Focus, recorded at Webster Hall in New York City and released in 1961 on Verve Records, stands as a singular entry in saxophonist Stan Getz's discography. Focus pairs Getz's expressive tenor saxophone with a string orchestra conducted by Hershy Kay. Getz's parts were entirely improvised, as he navigated pre-composed frameworks with melodic invention and emotional clarity. The album represents a true collaboration between Sauter and Getz, and a radical departure from the conventions of jazz "with strings" albums of the time. The Verve Vault Series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.

Green Day - Warning 4xCD/LP/5xLP (Reprise)

Green Day's sixth studio album Warning was released on October 3, 2000, and has gone on to sell over 1 million copies in the US and over 3 million worldwide. - The album includes three hit singles: "Warning", "Waiting" and "Minority", a track that continues to be a live favorite.

"When Harmonia made an album, it was about more than just music. It was about a vision. Deluxe, released in 1975, was the band's second album.

Knocked Loose - Laugh Tracks LP (Pure Noise)

Bruised and bloodied, Knocked Loose opens up the pit with a brutal sound that falls between hardcore, punk and metal. Back in 2014 frontman Bryan Garris, Guitarists Isaac Hale and Cole Crutchfield alongside bassist Kevin Otten and drummer Pac Sun were most likely jamming in a garage or basement somewhere like every other wannabe world-touring band. After the release of this, their debut EP, the band have gone from strength to strength with fans among their peers. This EP is where is all began. If you're looking for a release that delivers heavy, driven riffage, together with vocals that cover subjects ranging from atheism to suppressing personal insecurities then you found it. [Limited splatter color vinyl pressing.]

Here Leila blends glitchy textures, emotive melodies, and off-kilter beats to craft deeply personal sonic landscapes.

Various Artists - Let's Play Chess: A Chess Records Anthology 2xLP (Verve)

The story of Chess Records is the story of American popular music in the second half of the twentieth century.

The legacy of Chess Records endures more than 75 years later. Curated by Grammy-winning producer, Chess Records scholar and current Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan, Let's Play Chess: A Chess Records Anthology presents 25 of the label's best, some of the most important and thrilling recordings to be found on any label.

Corb Lund - Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! LP (New West Records)

Originally released in 2007. On this album, the Canadian country singer-songwriter took a turn from his previous writing topics and settled on one theme for this record: historical military songs. “The Horse Soldier album apparently came out of left field for people,” said Lund. “We had just come off two straight gold records which both surprised me in terms of their commercial success... Many people have told me they love it as an ‘anti-war’ record yet I’ve also had a ton of feedback from military guys, retired and active, who appreciate the acknowledgement of their work. I don’t know, maybe it’s both. I didn’t really have an agenda in mind at all when I wrote it other than presenting a bunch of war stories from different perspectives.”

Lush - Gala CD/LP (4AD)

Lush’s Gala was the band’s debut compilation album, comprising their earliest releases — Scar (1989), Mad Love (1990), and Sweetness and Light (1990) — in reverse chronological order, plus two additional tracks (a cover version of ABBA’s “Hey Hey Helen” and the extended Robin Guthrie mix of Scar track “Scarlet”). Originally released in 1990 as the band’s introduction to the US and Japanese markets, the compilation’s 35th anniversary is being celebrated with a 2025 reissue with new remasters by Kevin Vanbergen.

Pavement - Hecklers Choice: Big Gums And Heavy Lifters - A Pavement Collection CD/LP (Matador)

Hard to believe we made it, but here we are. A sold-out reunion. Gold records. A critically-lauded feature film. Stockton, CA's finest are once again seated atop the throne and Pavement is the biggest band in the world...? North America...? The coastal United States.

Back when 'Quarantine the Past' came out in 2010, TikTok wasn't a thing.

 Released in 1966 on Verve Records, Jimmy & Wes (The Dynamic Duo), captures the only full-length studio collaboration between organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist Wes Montgomery.

Recorded over three days in September 1966 at Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs studio, the sessions featured a brass & reed-heavy ensemble and a top-tier rhythm section with drummer Grady Tate and bassist Richard Davis. Montgomery's melodic guitar lines and Smith's fiery organ grooves find a vibrant setting in Nelson's tight, punchy arrangements - rich in harmonic color and rhythmic drive. The result is a rare meeting of two jazz giants, captured during a period of broad popular success, with the added presence of one of the era's most accomplished arrangers. The Verve Vault Series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
