Durand Joness Wait Til I Get Over is a memoir and a love letter.It is the story of Joness life, his growth and revelations, thewisdom of his hometown and the wisdom he could only gainonce he left. In it, he writes through Hillaryvilles contradictions:the pristine beauty and the ragged roads; his teenage desireto leave and his adult desire to honor his tangled roots; theplantation history and the ups and downs of the Black communitythat made homes of this reparation town. Hometowns have away of keeping a part of you, says Jones, and if Im makingsomething young-me would be proud of, Hillaryville is a big partof that. Jones finds something transformative in his memoriesthere and the life he has led since, ultimately claiming andembracing his whole self.
The result is vulnerable, personal, touching on Jonessrelationship to church life, to his mother, to his queerness, tohis worth. I wish I could tell my younger self you dont have tostick to the dreams people have for you, says Jones, you candream bigger. You are more than capable, you are more thanable. I think about some nerdy punk kid in the rural south whoneeds to hear that now. Wait Til I Get Over does exactly that.
The new album from hip-hop duo Atmosphere,So Many Other RealitiesExist Simultaneously, opens with veteran rapper Slug and seasonedproducer Ant taking a gentler approach. A departure from the brute intros ofearlier works, the lead-off track Okay sounds focused on comforting andreassuring the listener, as if informed by fatherhood and implicit duty. WithSlug rapping over one of the most twinkling productions Ant has released,the song lays the groundwork for an album-length exercise in fumblingconsciousness without setting a precedent for how they intend to navigateit. Yet, as gently as the album begins, theres an unmistakable sense ofunease from the onset that continues to evolve throughout the project, asSlug and Ant weave the listener through indistinct themes of insomnia andwoe.
Hailed by American Songwriter as one of Americas most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic voices, Eilen Jewell rises from the ashes on her captivating new album, Get Behind The Wheel, picking up the pieces of her shattered world and finding new purpose after watching her marriage, her band, and what felt like her entire career fall apart in a series of heartbreaking implosions. Co-produced by multi-instrumental wizard Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Hayes Carll), the 11-song collection pushes the acclaimed singer and songwriters trademark blend of vintage roots-noir into more psychedelic territory, with spacious, cinematic arrangements complementing her revelatory explorations of grief, loss, resilience, and redemption. The bands performances are electrifying here, resulting in Jewells boldest album yet, a powerful work of artistic alchemy that transforms heartache into genuine creative rebirth.
DRAIN the Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band, whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a globalpandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023.
Living Proof is the bands Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, California Cursed. The new album is a testament to thehard work and heartfelt ethos thats at the center of DRAINs good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appearson the track, Intermission. Theres also a cover of Good, Good Things, a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pitforebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. Its crazy because the songs been out like forty years, but lyrically its a DRAIN song! exclaims vocalistSam Ciaramitaro. It just hits on everything that I love, that Im about.
What Sammys about is plenty wholesome. I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope, beams. If we were able to getthrough the tough times, anyone can. I cant wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. Were what the title says, theLiving Proof.
Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (Gods Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo),this is hardcore for everybody.

I want to thank every single kid that comes out for being there.

The NYC-bred artist brings ever-evolving levels of depth and nuance to her songwriting, rooting each revelation into a mesmerizing blend of soul, R&B and forward-thinking pop. Special Occasion - the follow-up to the multiple GRAMMY-nominated Scenery (2019) - is an intimate look at the ways we love, grieve, and stumble toward a greater sense of self-understanding.
The group's third studio release, Buhloone Mindstate released on September 21, 1993,saw the group evolve into a new sound as they continued to grow stylistically and musically. There were several moments on the album which proved the band had matured. "I Be Blowin'" was a departure as the track was an instrumental featuring saxophone playing by Maceo Parker. The introspective "I Am I Be" showed de la Soul at their most self-referential to date. "Long Island Wildin'" was a collaboration with Japanese hip hop artists Kan Takagi (Major Force) and trio Scha Dara Parr (SDP). The album's first single, "Breakadawn", used a sample of Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" and Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". de La Soul collaborated for the first time with Gang Starr's Guru on "Patti Dooke", and female MC Shortie No Mas who was prominent on many tracks on the album and showcased particularly on "In The Woods". The album ended with an old school Biz Markie collaboration called "Stone Age".

Olivias duet partners include Mariah Carey, Jon Secada, Barry Gibb, John Travolta, Marie Osmond, Dolly Parton and many more.
Take a look at the cover of Rodney Crowells brilliant new album, The Chicago Sessions, and you might recognize a familiar callback to the legendary songwriters 1978 debut.
In a lot of ways, this album feels like that very first record to me, Crowell reflects. When my daughter Chelsea suggested we lay the artwork out similarly, the connection made perfect sense. Theres something very simple, very innocent about it. Its just me and the band in a room together, loose and live and having fun.
Produced by Wilcos Jeff Tweedy, The Chicago Sessions is indeed a throwback to Crowells early days of making records, but its no nostalgia trip. The songs here are vital and timely, touching on everything from love and mortality to race and religion, and the performances are nothing short of intoxicating, fueled by raw guitars, honky-tonk piano, and tight, punchy drums. Tweedy wields a light touch as a producer, his influence subtle yet unmistakable, and engineer Tom Schicks mixes are dynamic and alive, alternately lush and spacious in all the right places with a spotlight fixed firmly on Crowells warm, weathered vocals throughout. Put it all together and youve got a masterful, cross-generational collaboration that manages to feel both fresh and familiar all at once, an incisive, engaging collection that balances careful craftsmanship with joyful liberation at every turn.

Lucha, Y La Bamba's seventh album, is a thematic narrative that explores multiplicity - love, queerness, Mexican American and Chicanx identity, family, intimacy, yearning, loneliness. Born out of isolation during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the album reflects the artist's struggles and growth as a person and artist. The album is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and accepted, and is a collection of sonically sprawling and bold tracks that document the parallel trust the artist has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung or sound.

Inez plays electric guitar and sings, Ella plays a keyboard, organ and Mellotron - whilst manually playing drum samples with her feet - as they both sing haunting harmonies in a way that only twins can. Beautiful but punk, minimalist but epic. The duo are making big waves already, having toured with Future Islands and The Dandy Warhols as well as slots at festivals such as SXSW, Eurosonic and The Great Escape. On the debut album Bird Hour, they effortlessly combine their own brand of minimalist indie rock hooks with the unique production stylings of Tore Johansson, known for his work on Franz Ferdinands debut album and The Cardigans. The album is out via PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd etc.) and the band will tour extensively during 2023.

Logan Halstead will release his anticipated debut album, Dark Black Coal, May 5 via Thirty Tigers.
Age is a number, and Logan Halstead constantly reminds us of that. At just 15 years old, he wrote his first song, "Dark Black Coal", a powerful and haunting song about life for many of the people where he is from who had to work in the coal mines of southern West Virginia. Logan Halstead, 18 years old, is a country/folk/americana singer-songwriter who grew up in Comfort, WV. Logan pulls most of his music from the struggle and hardship of his life and those around him. Small-town living isn't intensely stimulating socially or economically, but spiritually there is always a yearning for more.
Being from WV and KY, it's no surprise that Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson influence him, but he has also found a lot of inspiration from Nicholas Jamerson and Cole Chaney. "All these folks mentioned have laid a path and shown that it's okay to be from these parts; we're not so looked down on anymore..." says Logan. It's given him the ability to be proud of who he is and has led him to be a driving force in the scene of young artists from the Appalachian region.
Logan doesn't like to put himself in a box sonically or stylistically. Still, many would adorn it as Appalachian/Americana music. Above all, it is raw and honest, and the writing wrapped in wisdom one might only think someone two decades older than could conjure. While the masses clamored for more content, Halstead took his time and found the right partners for his debut album. He decided to cut his project at the famous Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, TN. He was accompanied by the one and only Lawrence Rothman (Amanda Shires, Margo Price, Angel Olson, and many more). When asked about the recording process, Logan said, "It was a great experience; Lawrence is top-notch. They made me feel comfortable just to go in and do what I do, and to get to record in a place like that is a dream come true, especially for a holler kid". Lawrence, who saw success at a very young age, was a perfect fit because they understood Logan's position and angst and allowed Logan to express himself freely.
In 2020 Logan released "Dark Black Coal" on Youtube, which has since amassed almost 6 million views. The success of that single has allowed Logan to build a great fan base through YouTube, touring, and opening for folks like Zach Bryan, Charles Wesley Godwin, Town Mountain, and many more. With the record's release over a year after he created the album, Our Vinyl came into his life at the perfect time. Halstead released a taste of his upcoming project, and with that four-song EP, Logan gained over 120,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
With the success of "Dark Black Coal" it's no surprise that it became the title for his first album. He signed with Thirty Tigers and is excited to partner with them on his release. The release date is slated for May 5th, and he will be touring those songs throughout May. Expect to see his name on festival billings, support tours, and in a town near you. "I want my music to keep evolving and improve my craft. I want to be the best I can be and give my fans shows to remember" says Halstead. Like all musicians, they hope to achieve a successful career but don't expect Logan Halstead to change who he is or what he believes in to reach it. Authentically himself, he strives to always be honest and authentic to his fans.

Their next album 'The Album' will release on May 12, 2023 and was produced by Jon Bellion.
Mobys second album on Deutsche Grammophon following 2021s Reprise. Digging further into his catalog, Moby has reimagined fifteen of some if his most iconic tracks for his new album, Resound NYC. The album features tracks that he wrote between 1994-2010 while living in New York City, and the new versions feature a vibrant, brass-heavy sound.
Its been a time of intense, worldwide change over the past few years or maybe it all depends on scale. Zooming out to a geological timeline, maybe not much has changed at all. On his sixth album Wilderness Within You, acclaimed singer/songwriter Parker Millsap explores this flux between the here and now and the big BIG picture, while reckoning with questions about humanitys place on this planet. The result is a study in contrasts: the personal versus the cosmic, sparse acoustic compositions sitting next to lush psychedelic improvisations. Above all, Wilderness Within You is an understanding of darkness while expressing an abundance of gratitude for life itself.
Born and raised in Purcell, Okla., a tiny town with a huge sky, Millsap learned early on how to express gratitude through song while playing gospel in the church band. Long-time fans will recognize the albums foundations acoustic instrumentation and solid songwriting centered around Millsaps show-stopping voice. Theyll also spot the evolution towards more experimentation and sampling from other musical cultures. Beyond the opening Greetings and Thanks, which puts to music The Thanksgiving Address of the indigenous peoples of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy all proceeds from the song will be donated to the Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force the album continues on with a series of auditory landscapes and thoughtful insights including Running on Time, which contrasts a sweet message about patience with distorted electronic harmonies. The second half of Wilderness turns darker and moodier with the industrial, buzz-saw Half a World Away, which finds Millsap questioning who murders for my meat? who gets it here from there? At the other end of the sonic spectrum is the beautiful, roots-y title track, a duet with the legendary Gillian Welch. The track illustrates Millsaps understanding of nature as something that humans are not separate from - that life is stunningly beautiful most of the time, but does contain streaks of darkness that are just as natural: Theres a field thats full of violets, theres a bruise thats purple brown / Theres a little bit of violence, and a lot of fertile ground.
In a broader sense, Wilderness Within You poses many weighty questions without easy answers. While Millsap can feel deeply discouraged by the way things are going wrong in the world, especially with the climate crisis, Wilderness Within You is threaded with hope and thankfulness for all we do have. This idea is beautifully etched on Magic, an anthem about the power of paying attention a torch song perfect for listeners to join in and belt along to.
I really do want people to feel the magic, Millsap said, echoing lyrics from the song. Its out there.
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Parker McCollum is following up his breakout major label debut,Gold Chain Cowboy, with his forthcoming studio album, Never Enough, out May 12 (MCA Nashville).

Alison Goldfrapp has set a towering bar for British synth-pop in the 21st century and shes only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter and producers seven albums with Goldfrapp were fuelled by an unfailing modernity and a sixth sense for sounds that were more timeless than any trend. With the release of her debut solo album The Love Inventionan electrifying dance-pop suiteher multi-faceted musicianship reaches a new peak.
The Love Invention marks Alisons reawakening as a dancefloor priestess, in an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always been at the heart of her musical DNA. So Hard So Hot bottles the ephemeral joy of a dancefloor with its anthemic house beat, disco handclaps, and an exquisitely alluring vocal from Alison. The sense of uninhibited liberation courses through album highlights like In Electric Blue, a yearning synth-pop confection with a chorus as blissful as loves first butterflies. On Never Stop, she is flooded with the rush of an all-encompassing love over a buoyant, rubberised beat; the sublime synth-pop of Fever is an ode to the intoxicating majesty of the dancefloor, with a chorus that explodes as if setting off a glitter cannon.
Bolstered by 140 million Spotify streams, a sold-out nationwide headlining tour, support for the likes of The Wonder Years and New Found Glory and headlines in Alternative Press, Hot Mulligan's third LP, Why Would I Watch cements their evolution as one the most versatile and profoundly moving bands in the underground. Produced by longtime collaborator Brett Romnes, Why Would I Watch is Hot Mulligan at their loudest, their poppiest, and, ultimately, their most poignant. "We didn't really have grand ambitions when we went in to make this album," explains Freeman. "I liked you'll be fine, and I just wanted us to make another good one." Adds Sanville wryly: "If we had made a bad record, I'd have gotten into a plane and fallen out of it." Therein lies the true magic of Hot Mulligan, the push and pull of puns and pathos that might seem diametrically opposed at first but actually intersect to perfectly encapsulate life in a heavy, ADD-addled world.
You know a band has to be one of the most incredible live outfits in the country when they get signed immediately after a show in the time it takes to pop outside for a cigarette break. This is exactly what happened to Island of Love after they were invited to play The Blue Basement venue in Third Man Records - which opened in September 2021 in London as the third Third Man store after Nashville and Detroit. Island of Love were second only to Jack White himself to play the room and it was still so new that the drummer even left with paint on his back from where hed been pressed up against the wall playing. With that on-the-spot offer, they became the first band signed to Third Man London.
The band are a unique proposition in many ways. While countless London bands continue to go down the same tired path of churning out spoken word post-punk, Island of Love marry raw, primal noise led by crunchy guitars with intrinsically melodic sensibilities - recalling the sound and spirit of peak-era Dinosaur Jr. or Husker D.

SIDE Aof the album heralds a mature sonic direction for Joji through wistful and contemplative ballads accompanied by lush production that blooms within each song.SIDEB, largely produced by Joji himself, digs deeper into the lo-fi and off-kilter sounds that hark back to his experimental beginnings as an artist.

After the pandemic hit, and the people of the world grew wary and suspicious of one another, Iguana Death Cult, one of Europes most exciting rock exports, became more than just a band to its membersit became therapy. I think for the first ten times we went to jam, says guitarist/vocalist Tobias Opschoor, speaking about the making of the new album Echo Palace, we just drank wine and talked about it for hoursand then were like, OK, I have to go because I have to work tomorrow. Taking place at frontman Jeroen Reeks apartment in Rotterdam, these gatherings slowly shifted from talking about this surreal chapter of their livesthe days of quiet streets and cramped buildingsto making music about it. Armed with the talents of Justin Boer on bass and Arjen van Opstal on drums, and tapping the keys work Jimmy de Kok for the first time on album, the band took their trademark melodic garage-rock style and expanded it to make it vibier and looser, with each member contributing ideas to develop the sound palette in full. When it came time to record the album, the band headed to PAF Studio in Rotterdam, and subsequently it was mixed by Joo-Joo Ashworth (Sasami, Dummy) at Studio 22 in Los Angeles and mastered by Dave Cooley (Tame Impala, Yves Tumor). The album is a big swing, stretching Iguana Death Cult beyond its garage rock origins and taking them to a new realm. The end result of Echo Palace is an appropriately worldly album from a group breaking past the confines of its home country. "Dutch band Iguana Death Cult's rip-roaring melodies are built to jettison far beyond their homebase of Rotterdam." - FADER "Frenetic, intense sonic assaults, they turn psych punk into astonishingly concise three-dimensional documents." - CLASH Paper Straws Echo Palace Pushermen Sunny Side Up Sensory Overload Conference to Conference I Just Want a House Oh No Rope a Dope Heaven in Disorder Radio Brainwave

DEVILDRIVER didnt pause, releasing the highly-acclaimed first installment of their two-part Dealing With Demons saga, Dealing With Demons I. International media mainstays like Revolver, Metal Hammer, Kerrang and Consequence lauded the album, with Blabbermouth adding, If the second half of this mammoth endeavor matches the first, this will be remembered as a pivotal moment in the DEVILDRIVER story. And now, as society emerges more hardened and determined than before, so does DEVILDRIVERs 10th full-length, Dealing With Demons Vol. II. Once again produced and engineered by Steve Evetts with additional engineering from guitarist Mike Spreitzer, Dealing With Demons Vol. II is inarguably heavier and relentlessly harsher than its predecessor. Dealing With Demons Vol. II represents not only the most vicious of the two records, but also the darkest recesses of iconic frontman Dez Fafaras psyche and the final purging of his demons that have long haunted the bands music. Track one, I Have No Pity, instantly keeps fans guessing with its contrasting, marching rhythmic groove and Dez Fafaras icy, earworm warnings. The albums standout production immediately shines, with the tracks thick riffs, haunting leads, room-filling drums and Fafaras vocal prowess leading the way. Eerie, insistent Mantra drops a wave of melodic aggression on the listener, instantly inducing headbanging with its breakneck pace and occult lyricism. Dynamic tracks like Nothing Lasts Forever and Summoning cascade with alternating passages of sinister riffage and memorable chants, while extraordinary highlights like devastatingly grim Through The Depths with its black metal-esque passages, deft guitar play and menacing lyricism showcase the evolution of DEVILDRIVER in the new decade. Bloodbath is as brutal as its name suggests, ominously bending and pummeling with immediate aggression, as Its a Hard Truth continues the onslaught, cautioning against delusion amid balanced melodic leads. Closer anthems If Blood Is Life and This Relationship Broken are the blood-soaked cherries atop Dealing With Demons Vol. II, bringing together all of the elements that make DEVILDRIVER the best at their craft. If there is any question as to whether DEVILDRIVER is slowing down any time soon, Dealing With Demons Vol. II proves that 20 years into their career, even with their demons in tow they move forward at the forefront of metal.
Dropkick Murphys history with Woody Guthrie dates back decades, from covering "Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight" on their 2003 album Blackout, to using some of Guthrie's writing about Boston in their immortal hit "I'm Shipping Up To Boston". On their recent 2022 album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys crafted an entire record around the seminal American folk icon, bringing Woody Guthrie's perennial jabs at life-many of which are from the 1940s and '50s-into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today's world. Okemah Rising is second and final installment of this collaboration, and the band bring it home with a bang. Whereas the goal of This Machine Still Kills Fascists was to raise consciousness, Okemah Rising intends to raise the roof. It may have one or two tender moments, but all in all it's much more of a party. "Even a party record can have a message though and we've felt that over the last few months as we've played 'Gotta Get to Peekskill' and 'I Know How It Feels' on tour all over the world. Every night, when the audience is singing along with Woody's words, his steadfast defense of the working class, and his fight against social injustice and the abuse of political power comes across loud and clear. So as long as Dropkick Murphys are involved, Woody's message will always be heard."

Completing their seventh studio album was a hard-won victory for The Milk Carton Kids, but I Only See the Moon was worth the effort for Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. It feels like returning to something thats natural and comfortable, and also just as inspiring and new as when we first met, says Pattengale, who formed The Milk Carton Kids with Ryan in 2011.
What started as a three-week recording session in the fall of 2021, with Pattengale producing the contemporary folk duo himself for the first time, stretched into a monthslong project that found the pair digging deeper into their craft than ever before. With a new studio of their own in Los Angeles and the realization that they were in no hurry, The Milk Carton Kids took the time they needed to be fully satisfied with I Only See the Moon.
I havent been as happy with the collection of songs that weve put on record probably since our first record, and its because of a lot of the lessons weve learned over the years, including giving yourself time and space, Ryan says.The three-time Grammy nominees sound refreshed on 10 new songs distilled to the essence of The Milk Carton Kids: two voices blended together in spellbinding harmony, accompanied by subtly perfect acoustic instrumentation. Turns out thats a tough sound to get just right, but I Only See the Moon shows just how much Pattengale and Ryan were willing to work for it.
Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments,and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simons craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the album".
A stunning, intricately layered work, its a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Pauls lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.
True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken, Seven Psalms reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King Davids Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before, Seven Psalmsdefies categorization.
The records tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of Two Owls by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran.
Ghost follows last years international chart-topping opus IMPERA as intended from the start with PHANTOMIME, a diverse and spellbinding sampling of the GRAMMY Award-winning bands musical DNA.

The Big Mess is for Tanlines fans old and new alike, those who've succumbed to their wry, winking brand of pop music in the past, and those looking to soundtrack a late night in the future.

In 2020, living in Los Angeles, against the backdrop of horrifying forest fires, she questioned what to do in the face of such profound turmoil.

Heavy grooves, metal guitar squeals, Italo disco bass, fantasia synth layers, and huge choruses stomp around sanguine pop drama.
I Am The Dog, the debut album from Sir Chloethe project of vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Dana Footeis slated for release May 19 via Atlantic Records. Made with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) with songwriting contributions from Teddy Geiger (Caroline Polachek, Sylvan Esso, Lizzo) and Sarah Tudzin (Weyes Blood, Amen Dunes, Slowdive), I Am The Dog encapsulates the thrilling paradoxical nature of Sir Chloe. Thematically, the album grapples with finding control in the innate chaos of life, highlighting and interrogating this tension, only to destabilize it and opt for chaos once again. Anchored by Footes emotional and dynamic voice, the album toes the line between expression and concealment, making a fetish of the unsaid with lyrics that are simultaneously frank and ambiguous. With this constant push and pull propelling the album forward, Footes aim isnt to be at rest but rather to ask why she cannot be.

Indie Exclusive Transluscent Blue. Country Music Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy-winner, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude, his first new album in five years, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There's a desert flare to the music here, a sweeping, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway, and the production is raw and cinematic to match, tipping it's cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection, one whose ambition, much like his keen wit and rich imagination, only seems to grow with each and every release. Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatts' band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up royalty, it wasn't long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry can bestow along the way.
Expanded 30th anniversary re-issue of The Lemonheads classic 1993 album. The breakthrough record that took American alt rock global and catapulted Evan Dando into the hearts of a generation. With a wealth of unreleased demos, alternative versions and rarities - including covers of Victoria Williams, Buddy Holly and The Flying Burrito Brothers plus the Cole Porter standard Miss Otis Regrets.
In the 90s Evans Lemonheads produced hit after a hit, a string of super cool singles: Big Gay Heart, Into Your Arms, Its About Time, and The Great Big NO. Pure genius filling the radio waves and taking the stage... Some 30 years on; Evan is still knocking that song writing thing out of the park and Come On Feel The Lemonheads sounds as fresh and perky as it ever did. Amid the hits on the original record are stencils and outlines for yet more magical music and now this deluxe edition adds a second disc of demos and acoustic versions, plus a host of one-offs from sessions and compilations that add further colour to the myth and how it was created.
Theres the cover of Victoria Williams Frying Pan from her Sweet Relief album, which is joined by an eclectic set of flipsides and out-takes, like their version of Little Black Egg by The Nightcrawlers, Evans homage to Gram Parsons on the winsome Streets Of Baltimore and Buddy Hollys melancholy Learning The Game. Evan knows a good song when he hears it, as Come On Feel The Lemonheads certainly proved.
Come On Feel was home to some of his best, sharpest writing fabulous sunny powerpop and beautiful ballads The Guardian
Arlo Parks sophomore album, My Soft Machine, is a deeply personal body of work; a narration of Parks' experiences as she navigates her 20's and the growth intertwined. It follows her highly-praised debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which received two GRAMMY nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Honda Mercury Prize, won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award, was nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards and reached the top 3 on the UK Album Charts. Parks shares about how the new album and album title came to fruition: "The world/our view of it is peppered by the biggest things we experience - our traumas, upbringing, vulnerabilities almost like visual snow. This record is life through my lens, through my body - the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self-sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity- what it's like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called The Souvenir, it's an A24 semi-autobiographical film with Tilda Swinton - it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man then being drawn into his addiction - in an early scene he's explaining why people watch films - 'we don't want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.' So, there we have it... My Soft Machine." The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles throughout 2021/2022. Arlo worked alongside producers including Paul Epworth, Ariel Rechtshaid, Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Frank Ocean-collaborator Buddy Ross, and Carter Lang (SZA), whilst also self-producing a run of material on the album. The record features a guest vocal from musician and friend, Phoebe Bridgers.

Electric Blue Vinyl. Deeply informed by a deliberate transformation of his musical process, Bayonne's third full-length Temporary Time ultimately makes for his most expansive work to date-an album of both painfully raw introspection and otherworldly beauty. On Temporary Time, Bayonne channels vast imagination into an elegant, yet wildly experimental form of electronic pop, equal parts meditative and mesmerizing. In the making of his latest body of work, the Austin-based artist/producer/multi-instrumentalist otherwise known as Roger Sellers found himself in even greater need of an outlet for his kinetic creative impulses, thanks to an intense convergence of events in his personal life: his father's diagnosis with and eventual death from cancer, the end of a significant relationship, and an overwhelming struggle with depression and anxiety. "Right Thing" and "Perfect" are focus tracks.
Baby Rose makes healing music for the aimless and heartbroken. The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and producers uniquely rich voice naturally lends itself to her powerful, smoke-filled ballads lamenting lost loves and broken futures. I make music to help myself get through things, she says. The piercing honesty and vulnerability she brings to her lyrics in turn helps others process their feelings and find a place of healing. For Rose, its a journey thats still ongoing. If Im going to leave anything behind, its going to be getting people back to themselves, she says. As I get back to myself, its a constant reset: Remember who you are, remember who you want to be.
You can hear the impact of this approach in Baby Roses upcoming second album, Through and Through. Take the hypnotic Fight Club. Over the tracks simmering baseline and crashing cymbals, she declares, I dont need no one else to show me the way. She describes the song as a breaking of the shell. It encourages me to just go for it and not care about what anyone else thinks. Therein lies Baby Roses strength: a determination to live, love, and create on her own terms. Im not just a singer with a unique voice, she says. Im somebody that has something to say.
In the years since releasing her last album, To Myself, Rose has been painstakingly piecing together its sequel. Started almost immediately after its release, her new body of work finds her in a state of musical and personal transition. Its a subtle merging of new soundsstirring rock, upbeat r&b, psychedelic funk, pop, and soulful ballads, all mastered through analog tape to make the music feel warmer and all-encompassing. Its also a journey inward as she battles past fear and self-doubt to finally discoverand lovewho she is, where she is. Finishing an album with such peace and firm resolution is a first for Rose, but she makes it clear: Shes nowhere near done writing her story.

Armed with crushing metallic riffs, instantly both fresh and familiar, Incendiary populate each of their four full-length albums with irresistibly energized rhythms and adrenalized urgency.Change The Way You Think About Painis their leanest and unapologetically meanest yet. The quintet weaned on the Long Island, New York, hardcore scene have more to say than ever. Sharply biting and insightful lyrics sit atop blunt metalcore in a perfect soundtrack to throw a brick through a window.
Incendiary delivers a sound of its own, mixing classic passion and modern power.

Less familiar listeners might liken them to avery heavyRage Against The Machine.
The band returned to Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio (Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die,Vein.fm) to engineer, mix and master the new release. Many essential genre bands never made asecondalbum, let alone a fourth. We are kind of in rare territory being a hardcore band on their fourth LP, Garrone concedes. It feels like a milestone. By now, youre either supposed to drastically change your sound or have it be the exact same thing as the record before, he adds. We didnt want to do either of those things. Our focus was on refining the sound that weve optimally been working towards rather than any desire to make a huge pivot. Audley says that in addition to the more focused songwriting onChange The Way You Think About Pain, we also wanted it to be more aggressive and more abrasive, in terms of songs and production.
Thematically, Incendiarys fourth album confronts the hyper-polarization of American society, those who confuse selfishness with freedom, and the lengths well go to in order to avoid pain and maintain comfort. The socio-political pulse found throughoutCost of Livingremains, with a deeper exploration of the introspective personal lyrics Garrone started to introduce onThousand Mile Stare. The album is a mix of both the socio-politically driven content and darker, more personalized subjects. The album title is meant to conjure the concept of pain avoidance, Garrone explains. Most of the songs have some kind of tie back to the things everyone does to avoid feeling any semblance of pain. Pain avoidance is a phrase me and Brian came across and kept in the back of our minds.

Exploring a new style like never before symphonic metal icons SIRENIA revolutionize their melodic darkness on the brand new studio album, 1977, out May 26, 2023 via Napalm Records. Transporting the listener to a retro auditory arcade harking back to when groovy synthwave melodies dominated the world of music, the international band merges late 70s and 80s pop rock stylings with synthwave elements and their remarkable, hard-hitting symphonic melodies - shaking the listener to the core. Once again, Norwegian mastermind, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Morten Veland produced the 11th record, while HK at Vamacara Studio, France, took care of the mixing. It marks another prove that, after more than twenty years of existence, SIRENIA still rank at the very top of the genre. Captured within the magic of captivating 80s sonics, the four-piece opens up their enchanting new offering with the captivating opener Deadlight. The world of soulful violin and fragile piano lines builds up an energetic atmosphere, underlined by the wistful tunes of the multi-talented mezzo soprano voice of French singer Emmanuelle Zoldan. The track is followed by the fast-paced Wintry Heart, which gives a bittersweet taste of early 90s vibes and roaring guitars, while Nomadic represents SIRENIAs characteristic dark and heavy side as shredding guitar riffs alternate with playful interludes while relentless drums and symphonic electronic elements go hand in hand with another. A Thousand Scars marks a totally new fusion for SIRENIA, as heavy symphonic tunes dressed as remarkable rock riffs and poppy rhythms dance together with the feathery light vocals of Emmanuelle. With the eerie and epic tunes of Fading to the Deepest Black, the song is reminiscent of their last album, Riddles, Ruins & Revelations (2021). Kicking off with vertiginous blast beats and a mesmerizing performance by Emmanuelle Zoldan, a warm vocal interlude by Morten Veland supports the song's stunning atmosphere before it leads into an impressive guitar solo. Following their operatic symphonic highs, the heavy side of SIRENIA is not forgotten and appears especially towards the end of their 11th record. Wrapping up their multifaceted album, 1977, the bonus track Twist in my Sobriety is an absolute time machine. The cover of the million-times-over streamed song by German born British singer Tanita Tikaram matches the surprisingly deep voice that presents Emmanuelle in a very new range, while the eerie mid-tempo appears in a brand new light of modern synth beats and characteristic synth-oboe. Morten Veland states: Twist in my Sobriety is a track that I have enjoyed since it was originally released by Tanita Tikaram back in 1988. The song has a very melancholic vibe to it, which in my opinion makes it a perfect match with SIRENIA. Transporting their fans right into smokey, neon lit nightclubs, the eclectic mix of 1977 opens up exciting new facets of symphonic, electronic and groove elements in SIRENIAs music.

Produced by Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Nickel Creek), Mother Road is Graces fifth studio LP and follow-up to 2019s acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated, Daylight.

From the band:
"It may not be immediately obvious on an album called No Joy, but Ive grown bored with the darkness. Ive spent three years finding out that all of my grand plans cannot stop the world, my complaining doesnt make me happy, and the happiness I do find is finite. This is an album about making peace with that. Its a foolish attempt to hold onto what I love as tightly as possible. An album of songs for the people I miss and am going to miss for the rest of my life. The band has reconvened with the same energy. Were holding onto this as long as we can. Weve torn the band down and built it back up to record the exact album weve been wanting to make. And weve ultimately arrived at the next stage of the bands evolution."
Crooks & Nannies is a collaboration between multi-instrumentalists Sam Huntington (she/her) and Max Rafter (they/them). The duo's signature blend of brash, confessional indie rock functions on extremes. Alternating between painfully tender and jarringly obtuse, the childhood friends fashion themes of growth, loss, and transformation into off-kilter pop songs that whirr with the unpredictability of a failing engine. In early 2020, just days after Huntington decided to start hormone therapy, her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After his passing, she and Rafter retreated to the partially-finished, off-grid cabin that her father had been building prior to his diagnosis. It was the first time either of them had been back to their hometown in upstate NY since transitioning, and it resulted in a distinct contrast between vulnerable, melancholy hush and explosive, confused guitar throughout every fiber of their new record,Real Life.
Debut album WEEDKILLER is a collection of irresistible songs that perfect the bold, genre-blending sound that has defined Ashnikkos work to date. While the acclaimed 2021 mixtape DEMIDEVIL showcased a head-on approach, directly tackling themes of sexual revolution and revenge, WEEDKILLER is more allegorical.
A half-concept album set in a dystopian future, the WEEDKILLER universe that Ashnikko has created tells the story of a fae civilization occupied and destroyed by machines that feed on organic matter where the faerie protagonist seeks revenge by becoming part machine - a poetic commentary on environmental disaster and the rapid evolution of technology, while also confronting real-world issues from sexual empowerment to tech warfare and ecological collapse. Full of equal parts naked vulnerability and joyful rebellion, WEEDKILLER gives a thundering voice to the oppressed.
Speaking on the announce, Ashnikko states "My bioluminescent heart is glowing. My post-apocalyptic fae world is here for you to journey into. My wings have been ripped out, but Ive built them anew using WEEDKILLER machine parts. I am the one sent here to eliminate you, WEEDKILLER.

Australian indie folk rock band The Paper Kites release their highly anticipated sixth album - At The Roadhouse.

The atmosphere of the live performance is recreated with pedal steel and crooning vocals and harmonies. The song lyrics reminisce of a romance still as alive as a blue flame. "We had talked about this for years" Sam Bentley explains, "We were drawn to the idea of holding up in a town somewhere and playing the evenings as a house band. The Roadhouse became this place for us." Expanding their line-up, the five members of The Paper Kites recruited three extra musicians to make up their roadhouse band, including multi-instrumentalist Matt Dixon - who's weeping pedal steel features on the track - as well as Hannah Cameron and Chris Panousakis.

Faced with nothing but time, he got back to songwriting, regularly asking Taryn for input or as the two playfully put it, Gen Z quality control.

Genesis Owusu returns with the highly anticipated sophomore album, STRUGGLER. On the back of the critically acclaimed debut album, Smiling with No Teeth, that put Genesis Owusu on the global map, a new chapter begins on May 18 with the lead single Leaving the Light. A fervent anthem about survival and perseverance, Leaving the Light, sets an urgent tone for the new album. STRUGGLER explores the chaos and absurdity of life, and our ability to endure. Where Smiling With No Teeth was all about the battle (against depression and racism), STRUGGLER is about how to get through the struggle. The album was inspired by Owusu witnessing a close friend hitting the bring and coming through the other side. The experience, alongside reading Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Kafka's Metamorphosis, found Owusu questioning life and finding beauty in the struggle.

From September 15th 2023, a few gears are shifted up again, because the undisputed kings of rock'n'roll are back. "Electric Sounds" will be the name of Danko Jones' eleventh album and it immediately has the feel of a classic. When the wheel turns freely and propels you forward, there's no need to reinvent the damn thing: instead, this band simply hones their craft... and always at full volume. After 27 years of active service, the trio's dedication and intensity continue to grow, and their popularity and notoriety continue to soar. With countless wins and successes under their collective belt, Danko Jones are a band of brothers with little to prove. But what the heck, there are always more people to play for and more electric sounds to sing. In the last ten years, Danko Jones have visibly shifted up a few gears. Since frontman Danko and bassist JC joined forces with drummer Rich Knox, the band's creative fire has blazed brighter than ever. A string of albums - Fire Music, Wild Cat, A Rock Supreme, Power Trio - has led to even more intense touring and tireless dedication to the cause of rock. "Electric Sounds" is the best proof that even a global pandemic couldn't stop Danko Jones. From the chutzpah of opening track Guess Who's Back and the muscular new-wave strut of Good Time to the title track's promise of "smash a thousand guitars tonight!" and the edgy, squinty stomp and jolting bullseye of Stiff Competition's chorus, "Electric Sounds" is a deceptively diverse affair. No band has ever sounded as ready to hit the road as the pumped-up threesome that showcases on hellish rages like Eye For An Eye, What Goes Around and the murderous closing track Shake Your City. Guest appearances by Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies) on She's My Baby, Damian Abraham (Fucked Up) on Get High and guitarist Daniel Dekay (of Canadian thrash legends Exciter) on Electric Sounds round out the picture with snotty gusto. "Hopefully we'll get to tour with this record and people will come," Danko says. "I'm always pleasantly surprised when there's an audience in front of us every night. I've heard Ozzy worry to this day if people will come to the gig, and I can kind of understand that attitude. But you know what We just played Wembley Arena! That's a check mark on the bucket list. I'm proud to say that this band has played Wembley Arena, Maple Leaf Gardens, Moscow Stadium and CBGBs. And really, every time we put out a new studio album, it's our biggest success. This album is number 11 and we're already on our way to number 12!"Ltd. Edition 1. 000 units

It feels so good to really lean into the things that I've been chomping at the bit to do. Those things? The 13 diverse, unforgettable songs on CMF2, ranging from the punchy, timeless first single Beyond to Someday Ill Change Your Mind, a soaring, sentimental stunner with an infectious chorus. The songs move seamlessly from the punk rawness and anthemic rallying cry of We Are The Rest to the acoustic lament Breath Of Fresh Smoke to Post Traumatic Blues, which has a wild sensibility that echoes the lyrical topic of PTSD.
