Below The Waste (CD)
Goat Girl
Below the Waste is the eclectic, arresting third album from London trio Goat Girl. In writing this album, the band found themselves striving for a greater authenticity in relationships, to find the truth beneath the facades. That sense of searching and vulnerability underlies each of these prismatic, gorgeous songs, whether the band is going angsty and indie on "ride around" or downbeat and dreamy on "motorway." The songs run the gamut from gritty rock 'n' roll to enveloping synth-led motorik to wistful folk. Below the Waste is exquisite and deeply moving.
The Lion & The Cobra (LP)
Sinéad O'Connor
This vinyl reissue of the 1987 debut album by the late Irish singer/songwriter, featuring the original European cover photo, is a welcome treat for fans. The Lion and The Cobra introduced the world to O’Connor’s distinctive, powerful voice and vulnerable lyrics. Punctuated by swelling strings, “Troy” is a stirring, melancholy gem, while “I Want Your (Hands On Me)” is funky ‘80s pop perfection. “Mandinka” is another highlight with its ultra-catchy chorus and infectious vocal wails.
Fate & Alcohol [Crystal Clear Vinyl] (LP)
Japandroids
Hailed by the Canadian duo as their final album, Fate & Alcohol sees them departing on a high note, leaving fans with a solid set of their nostalgic classic rock-inspired sound. “Chicago” rides high on a characteristically anthemic chorus and “Fugitive Summer” revives the buzzing energy the band is traditionally known for. It’s a new classic for the duo’s diehard fans.
Spiral In A Straight Line [Rose-Tinted Color Vinyl] (LP)
Touché Amoré
It’s been 4 long years since post-hardcore heroes Touché Amoré have dropped an album, but that comes to an end with Spiral In A Straight Line . With super producer Ross Robinson returning at the helm, both the band and producer deftly channel their personal turmoil and struggles during the creation of Spiral into a sonic therapy session of emotion. Spiral also features appearances by indie luminaries Lou Barlow on “Subversion (Brand New Love)”, and Julien Baker on the closing track, “Goodbye For Now.”

Mercy (LP)
Remo Drive
Minnesota alt-rockers Remo Drive downshift and choose a slightly different path on Mercy . Showcasing a more restrained, stripped bare and melancholy sound, the edginess of previous albums is set aside for a Weezer-ey alt-pop sound. The mood on Mercy has plenty of peaks and valleys - the bouncy "No, There's No Hope for You" is a contrast to the slow bluesy waltziness of "All You'll Ever Catch" and "Hold You."
People Who Aren't There Anymore (CD)
Future Islands
Future Islands have just released one of the best albums of their career. The songs on People Who Aren't There Anymore are totally bops, the type of ear worm tracks that become instant favorites. At the same time, there's a sense of emotional exploration to these songs that gives them real heft — Future Islands has gotten introspective in these slowed-down jams, delivering songs that feel like companions for the most uncomfortable moments of change and growth in life. It's a lovely album that will linger in your mind longer after the last note fades out.
Small Changes (CD)
Michael Kiwanuka
Michael Kiwanuka makes music that feels timeless. With production assistance from Danger Mouse and Inflo and featuring bass legend Pino Palladino (D’Angelo, Beyoncé) and Jimmy Jam, Small Changes is a future classic. Soulful, grooved out, with searing guitar work, these tracks are effortlessly cool and incredibly affecting. "Floating Parade" is sublimely beautiful, with a cinematic '70s funk and soul vibe. "Lowdown" is brooding and brilliant, a melancholy gem shot through with a glimmer of hope. Small Changes is a must hear.
Let's Skip To The Wedding [180 Gram Yellow Vinyl] (LP)
Eyedress
Eyedress, the Nom d'artiste of Filipino musician Idris Ennolandy Vicuña returns with his third album, Let's Skip To the Wedding . His first album after relocating to Los Angeles features the TikTok hits "Romantic Lover" and the Joy-Division-inspired "Jealous." Eyedress layers jangly guitars and stream-of-consciousness lyrics, creating a fusion of brooding indie rock and moody bedroom synthpop. In a perfect balance, Let's Skip to the Wedding at times sounds polished and well-produced, and at others resembles a homemade demo recording.

Rite Here Rite Now [OST] (CD)
Ghost
Rite Here Rite Now is the soundtrack to Ghost's concert film recorded at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA at the end of their 2023 Re-Imperatour . The soundtrack eschews the film's narrative moments from the band's web series Chapters, focusing on the riveting live music ramped up by the roar of the crowd. The sound is excellent on tracks like the epic, explosive "Kaisarion" and the blistering "Rats." While most of the music hails from Impera , there are also songs from Meliora and Prequelle , Seven Inches of Satanic Panic , and more. It's a real treat for fans even if they've experienced the band's energetic shows before.
The Gift Of Love (CD)
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson’s first holiday album pairs beloved classics with fresh originals, featuring her gorgeous vocals at the helm. One highlight is a striking version of “Carol of The Bells” with South African group The Joy, whose voices soar dramatically around hers. Common is another guest, lending gentle spoken word verses to “Almost Christmas.”
Same As It Ever Was [30th Anniversary Yellow/Green Vinyl] (LP)
House Of Pain
Following the massive worldwide success of "Jump Around" on their self-titled debut (aka Fine Malt Lyrics ), Irish hip-hop stars House of Pain returned in 1994 with Same As It Ever Was . The sophomore album may lack a chart-topping hit like their previous album, but with bangers like "On Point" and "Runnin Up On Ya," they really hit their stride and the influence of the Soul Assassins crew is evident. Celebrate 30 years of a hidden hip-hop gem with this yellow vinyl reissue with a green 7" single.
For Cryin' Out Loud! (CD)
FINNEAS
Finneas continues to push the sound of pop music forward with the excellent For Cryin' Out Loud . These are songs that, with their infectious hooks, will gleefully bop around your head, while their relatable lyrics will keep you coming back for more hurts-so-good enjoyment. Finneas ably fuses nostalgia for the epic, bouncy pop of the '80s and '90s with indie rock influences to create smart, satisfying songs. For Cryin Out Loud is a wonderful showcase for Finneas' versatile gifts as a producer and performer.
