Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Weekend CD/2xLP/cassette (Dead Oceans)

Elizabeth Cook - Great Television CD/LP (Agent Love Music)

Following up 2020's Aftermath, Great Television unfolds as a loose, emotionally driven narrative about navigating love, identity, and self-destruction against a backdrop of memory, movement, and Southern imagery. From Elizabeth: “I wanted this album to take everyone on the ride of the American experience, both from a deeply personal perspective and from a place of reflecting on historical events and their ripple effects. It felt important to make the songs very concise and digestible, but with a lot of layers to dig into if you want to really dive in. There’s a lot of code in these lyrics." [Orange vinyl pressing.]

Grace Cummings - Bloodhorse! CD (ATO)

One of Australia's most acclaimed performers Grace Cummings explores anxieties, hopes & nightmares on her grand, nervy new album Bloodhorse! Reuniting with producer Jonathan Wilson (Angel Olsen, Father John Misty), Bloodhorse! Finds Cummings swooping from gorgeous to grotesque and sacred to profane.

Dana & Alden - Papa's Boat LP (Concord)

Named endearingly after their late maternal grandfather, Dana and Alden's new album Papa's Boat is imbued with their Papa's wanderlust spirit as it musically traverses the places he traveled and memorializes moments from his life.

[Indie exclusive color vinyl pressing.]

Hovvdy - Big World CD/LP (Arts & Crafts)

Big World lives up to its name, arriving on the heels of Hovvdy's 2024 self-titled album with a palpable sense of expansion. The songs on Big World stretch outwards and fill every room that they're played in while still being rooted in the close, unguarded intimacy characteristic of the Texas duo. It's a progression that underscores how Charlie Martin and Will Taylor, now over a decade into their collaboration, continue to refine a shared language without losing the sincerity that has come to define it. [Indie exclusive half blue/half green color vinyl pressing.]

Judah & the Lion - I Am a Prism CD/LP (Dualtone)

Judah & the Lion return with I Am A Prism, their most expansive and emotionally resonant album to date. Rising from Belmont University dorm rooms to #1 Alternative hits and arena stages, the band continues to push their genre-blurring ethos forward-this time with a bold, kaleidoscopic sound that spans 80s-inflected rock ("Miracle," "Win or Go Home"), arena-ready alt-pop ("Maybe the Best Is Now"), soulful introspection ("As The Crow"), and even a tongue-in-cheek pop-country turn ("Gravel Roads"). Produced by Jeremy Lutito and mixed by Ryan Hewitt, the album captures both scale and intimacy-incorporating live audience recordings that blur the line between performance and community. [Indie exclusive blue vinyl pressing.]

Jungle - Sunshine CD/LP (Caiola)

Jungle cemented their status as a major global force with their 2023 album, 'Volcano' - a record that earned them their first BRIT Award and featured their worldwide smash hit single, 'Back On 74'.

Rooted in self-discovery and self-determination, Katseye embraces every version of themselves, resulting in a project that feels open, boundless, and entirely their own. [Indie exclusive aquamarine color vinyl pressing. CD package includes: Photobook, CD-R, Personal Detail Report, Sticker, Badge, Group Photocard, 1 Photocard (random, 1 out of 5, standard CD Wild world ver. Photo.)

Kiwi Jr. - Blowin' Up CD/LP (K Records)

Tired of Throwin' Up & Growin' Up, Kiwi Jr. are finally Blowin' Up. Confronting the desperate neon of statesman status, Kiwi screech sideways toward the last exit, seeking the sweet spot between swift pain and lucrative settlement. Blowin' Up dissects the topical turmoil, the nonstop Christmas-morning-coal mouthfeel of daily life in '26 smashburgered into a diamond-rich slurry: "Language arts on the way out... if you've anything clever to say, you better say it now" "when detectives get here Monday morning, it's our fingerprints at the scene." You could skip to the end and read the Kiwipedia but you really should hear how it plays out: the mother-daughter crimesolving duo of Photos of the Reenactment; a witness relocated to Hard Drive, Ontario; teenagers crossing the Detroit River to piggyback on the Canadian drinking age... Pure Michigan at last. 

L'Rain - Fata Morgana LP (Mexican Summer)

L'Rain's kaleidoscopic fourth album fata morgana is a fearless reckoning with self-doubt and the mirages of belonging and alienation that shape Taja Cheek's lived experience of the contemporary moment. A shimmering vision of light and sound, seductive, ephemeral, impossible to contain, fata morgana is a genre-defiant synthesis of dancehall, tape meditations, slow jams, gospel, and crunched metal influences in answer to the question: How do you grow in a world not meant for you to thrive in? [Indie exclusive gold vinyl pressing.]

Lindsay Lou - Bluegrass Women CD/LP (Work of Bart Records)

Co-produced by Lindsay Lou and Shani Gandhi, Bluegrass Women is a ten song album of Bluegrass classics that were penned by women over the course of the genre’s history.

Joyce & Tutty Moreno - Jazz is Dead 27 LP (Jazz is Dead)

Joyce and Tutty Moreno, the legendary vocalist/guitarist and drummer who helped define the sound of Brazilian popular music, have partnered with Adrian Younge to create JID027. The result is an album that captures the ethereal beauty of collective improvisation, the weight of saudade, and the unbreakable bond between two of Brazil's most revered musicians. The album is a delicate balance of premeditation and improvisation. Joyce's compositions-"Mandala;' "Uaná Eté:' "Is This Love?;' "Fingers:' and "Janeiro"-sit alongside instrumental pieces by Younge, where Joyce's voice becomes a horn, a flute, a river of melody without words. 

Nipsey Hussle & Bino Rideaux - Prolific CD/LP (Atlantic)

[Indie exclusive yellow vinyl pressing.]

No Cure - It Is Going to Get Dark CD/LP (Sharptone)

Alchemizing chaos into caustic and catchy heavy music, No Cure's new album "It Is Going To Get Dark" is rooted in airtight extreme metal, D.I.Y. hardcore and dyed-in-the-wool Alabama spirit. Whereas their previous record embodied the Southeastern experience, the band's new album observes a world in decline. But No Cure don't simply stare into the abyss, they spit in its face, spewing potent and poetic sonic venom of their own. [Clear red vinyl pressing.]

Jim Nollman - Orcas' Greatest Hits CD/LP (Smithsonian Folkways)

Jim Nollman is a sound artist and author who has dedicated his practice to playing music with non-human individuals. Following his 1982 album on Folkways, Playing Music with Animals, Nollman established an artistic residency and community space at a cove in British Columbia, dubbed Orcananda after the orca residents that have dwelled in it's deep waters for centuries. Nollman and his cohort took a considered approach to developing sonic relationships with the orcas and other animals they encountered, always keeping a respectful distance as they found one another with their ears. Orcas' Greatest Hits collects hydrophone recordings drawn from over 60 hours of interspecies collaboration recorded between 1985 and 2002, showing the playful ways in which Nollman engaged the orcas from the portable studio floating above their home. What we hear is the focused listening by the cetaceans and humans as they search out sonic space among one another, finding in that dialogue potential common ground for deeper understanding.

Regulator Watts - kWh LP (Solid Brass Records)

Regulator Watts returns with kWh (kilowatt-hours), the band's first new music in nearly 30 years. Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge), this 5-song EP is a masterclass in post-hardcore dynamics, contrasting crushing grooves with moody, mysterious atmospherics and the haunting tone that remains guitarist Alex Dunham's trademark. This is essential listening for fans of the DC scene and those who find catharsis in the cycles of tension and release perfected by this peerless power trio. [Clear blue vinyl pressing.]

Maggie Rose - Half Moon CD/LP (One Riot Records)

Grammy-nominated for "Poison in My Well" from her Cocoon EP, Maggie Rose has solidified her place in modern Americana. Building on that momentum, she returns with Half Moon, a 12-track LP co-written and produced by Lawrence Rothman (Amanda Shires, Margo Price, Lucinda Williams) and Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves, Leon Bridges, Phoebe Bridgers). Conceptually, the album explores the arcs of love, desire, and self-discovery, blending cinematic storytelling, rich grooves, and striking lyrics, all anchored by Maggie's commanding voice and signature sound. [Indie exclusive maroon vinyl pressing.]

The Script - The User's Guide to Being Human CD/LP (BMG)

Now, their 8th studio album sees Danny O'Donoghue reunited with songwriting partners Andrew Frampton and Steve Kipner, hit-machine songwriters with whom he and Mark Sheehan wrote a brace of The Script's best-known songs. 

Sweeping Promises - You Say I Romanticize CD/LP (Sub Pop)

Sweeping Promises' introduction to the global punk underground was their debut album, Hunger for a Way Out, which ended up being one of the breakout successes in music during pandemic lockdown. In 2023, they followed up with Good Living is Coming for You, a satirical, hyper-critical rebuke of capitalism that made Album of the Year lists for Pitchfork, NPR, Paste, and BBC, just to name a few. Bassist/vocalist Lira Mondal and guitarist Caufield Schnug decided to tilt their approach a few degrees forward on their third LP. The album’s frenzied execution, akin to the group’s renowned live show, prevails most of all in Mondal’s vocals. Whereas previously, you might have heard a growl here and there on certain Sweeping Promises tracks, the band’s formidable singer shouts, roars, hits all sorts of tricky notes, and shreds her throat all over the record, notably on the pummeling opener “Shooting Shadows” and the smoldering “Cocoon.” ["Loser Edition" clear with yellow and black splatter color vinyl pressing.]

Laura Veirs - Temple Songs LP (Raven Marching Band)

Laura Veirs returns with Temple Songs, her first album in four year -and the first she has written, recorded, arranged, produced, and performed entirely on her own. "I didn't know if I would write songs again," says Veirs, who spent the intervening years building a backyard studio, getting married, blending a family with four teenagers, deepening her visual art practice (painting), and expanding her music teaching. "Turns out that period was a gathering phase. When I made the commitment to recording the album myself, the muse caught me again and it came together very quickly." [Clear red vinyl pressing.]

The Womack Sisters - The Womack Sisters CD/LP (Daptone)

The Womack Sisters, Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack, were singing before they could walk. They grew up on the road. Their schools were stages and studios all over the world, where they sang behind their parents, Zekkariyas & Zeriiya (fka Womack & Womack), alongside their four siblings. Nowhere was home for long. No matter where they lived they were always surrounded by music and family. Their 2026 self-titled debut album, The Womack Sisters, is the musical culmination of the Sisters' long and winding journey to find themselves. The intensely soulful collection of tunes produced by Gabriel Roth looks forward by looking back, paying homage to their family's lineage while creating a sound that is uniquely their own. [Indie exclusive opaque purple vinyl pressing.]

George Benson - Giblet Gravy (Verve Vault Series) LP (Verve)

Giblet Gravy, released in 1968 on Verve Records, documents guitarist George Benson during his early period with the label.

Across these varied settings, Benson's fluid articulation, blues-inflected phrasing, and rhythmic dexterity remain the music's central focus. The repertoire blends contemporary popular material, standards, and original compositions, illustrating the stylistic breadth that would inform his later crossover success while remaining grounded in the late-1960s jazz ensemble format. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
