Vibe Provider (CD)

Emmet Cohen

Award-winning jazz pianist Emmet Cohen chose the nickname of the late jazz legend (his friend and mentor) Michael Funmi Ononaiye for the title of his latest album. Vibe Provider offers Cohen’s dynamic originals as well as his airy takes on classics such as “Surrey With the Fringe on Top.” The title track builds on its lively percussion into a stirring number with melancholy moments.

Cutouts (CD)

The Smile

The latest outing from The Smile will get under your skin. Cutouts is haunting and compelling, with some melodic flourishes and vocal lines that'll leave you breathless. The songs simmer with the pent-up intensity that bubbles beneath the surface of this enjoyably unpredictable listen. At times the vibe is moody, atmospheric, devastatingly beautiful. At others, the band leans into motorik, tightly-wound melodies and percussion that'll sweep listeners up into a frenetic, dynamic mirror of contemporary 24/7 culture. The members of The Smile all have impeccable track records for creating affecting, unforgettable songs and Cutouts ranks among their best.

Live From The Ryman 2 (CD)

Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit

The Live From The Ryman volumes were recorded over six years at Isbell and his band’s sold-out concerts at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. These live tracks capture the raw energy and sincerity of one of country-rock’s best singer/songwriters; Take, for example, this emotional version of “The Last Song I Will Write” from his 2009 self-titled album. Vol. 2 also features songs from the albums Reunions , Weathervanes , and a cover of “Room at the Top” by Tom Petty.

Ghoulies II [1987] (4K UHD)

Albert Band

The toilet-dwelling goblins of Ghoulies are back for more over-the-top antics as they target a haunted house in a traveling carnival. The carnies realize they are no match for these little demons as the Ghoulies devour the sideshow attraction's patrons. The outrageous special effects ratchet up the horrific fun!

Pensive Pop (CD)

Amythyst Kiah

"Southern Gothic" artist Amythyst Kiah's Pensive Pop EP is a true gem. Featuring four covers delivered with rich, direct vocals and unique arrangements, it kicks off with a wonderful version of Tori Amos's "Sugar." The dark and delicate original becomes an enjoyably rockin' track that peaks with layers of guitar in the bridge. Up next are unexpectedly soulful and melancholy covers of Green Day's "Hitchin' a Ride" and Katy Perry's "Chained To The Rhythm." At the close, Joy Division's classic "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a powerful acoustic number that feels somehow uplifting.

Everybody Needs A Hero (CD)

Orla Gartland

The Irish singer/songwriter has released her second studio album, featuring strong singles like “Little Chaos” and “Kiss Ur Face Forever.” The tracks move from that kind of quirky pop/rock to gentle pop songs like “The Hit” and the poignant ballad “Mine.” Elsewhere “Late To The Party ft. Declan McKenna” is disco-punk in a way that feels like a tasteful nod to Franz Ferdinand. It’s an eclectic set of songs punctuated by strong hooks and clever lyrics.

Dance, No One's Watching (CD)

Ezra Collective

Dance, No One's Watching is a strong contender for feel-good album of the year. UK jazz quintet Ezra Collective draws inspiration from Afrobeat, soul, calypso, and hip-hop to create songs that are a pure pleasure to hear. The album is a celebration of the simple, joyful act of dancing — it's also a pretty darn good excuse to get out on the dancefloor. Guest vocalists Yazmin Lacey, Olivia Dean, and M.anifest & Moonchild Sanelly bring an assured confidence and beauty to their various vocal turns that'll bliss you out instantly. A gorgeous treasure of an album.

Paint A Room [Red Vinyl] (LP)

Chris Cohen

On his first solo album in five years, Chris Cohen (Deerhoof, The Curtains) delivers gentle songs with thought-provoking lyrics. The overall vibe and instrumentation on Paint a Room reference the subtle grooves of 1970s singer/songwriters. “Wishing Well” stands out in the midst of the set for its jangle-pop liveliness. “Sunever” is another highlight thanks to its intriguing melody and rhythm, while “Night or Day” is a sunny gem with a strong bassline.

Crimes [Bubblegum Pink & Baby Blue Vinyl] (LP)

The Blood Brothers

The mad masterpiece that is The Blood Brothers' Crimes album is getting a 20th-anniversary reissue. The band's intense blend of post-hardcore, post-punk, a bit of funk, and a lot of frenzied weirdness still sounds utterly arresting, unlike anything else out there. Out on bubblegum pink and baby blue vinyl, it's a limited release that captures the full-throttle pleasures of the band's live shows. An exhilarating, raucous, and unpredictable thrill ride of an album.

Got A Story To Tell (CD)

Thee Sacred Souls

Woo boy. Thee Sacred Souls are back with a dreamy throwback album that'll transport you to a more plush, romantic time. The evocative and addictive Got a Story to Tell is gorgeous to be sure, but it's also one of those albums that hooks into your heart and gets you in the gut. The tracks move from slow burn sizzlers to Lynchian lounge numbers to ultra hip, funked up '70s soul. Luxuriant, swooning, and just plain brilliant, Got a Story to Tell is an exquisite record that ranks among the year's best.

Sunday Morning Put-On (CD)

Andrew Bird

Performing as the Andrew Bird Trio, with Alan Hampton on bass and Ted Poor on drums and vibraphone, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Bird delivers all jazz covers on this new album. These are rich, evocative takes on standards like the delicate “I Fall In Love Too Easily” and the beautifully melancholy “I Cover the Waterfront.” “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to” is another highlight with Bird’s smooth vocals adding to the appeal of a cleverly sparse arrangement.

Statik (LP)

Actress

With Statik , Actress continues to push electronic music forward. Minimalist and moody, the album builds on the bones of the musique concrète movement in deriving electronic sounds from their purest, most simple form...then adding sound textures and synth washes to create a mood that's haunting and almost disconcertingly beautiful.
