Rose Main Reading Room (LP)
Peel Dream Magazine
Peel Dream Magazine's Rose Main Reading Room is a dreamy, hazy, cosmopolitan record. Inspired in part by New York's cityscape, the band's fourth album is a fusion of underground influences, from dreampop to shoegaze to motorik. This is the kind of album that builds a world and sets a mood — a front-to-back, immersive listen that'll make your days more romantic, lovely, and vivid. Rose Main Reading Room will make you remember why you fell in love with music in the first place.
Manning Fireworks [Red Vinyl] (LP)
MJ Lenderman
The much-buzzed about MJ Lenderman returns with some of the finest work of his brief yet dazzling career. Manning Fireworks is autumnal and essentially lonesome, a record that feels warm, gracious, and ever-so-slightly optimistic, even as Lenderman chronicles the unrepentant foibles and failures of his songs' characters. The music is twangy, fuzzed out, and gritty: it's the sound of epic yet angsty nights out where the lines blur between melancholic hedonism and letting the good times roll. Going nowhere fast has never sounded so good.
Ensoulment (CD)
The The
THE THE's first studio album of new songs in 25 years, Ensoulment , delves into deep thoughts on love and sex, war and politics, life and death, and the meaning of what it is to be human in the 21st century in general. Ensoulment echoes THE THE's multi-faceted musical past, but it's richly representative of the mercurial band's here and now as well.
BREAD (CD)
Sofi Tukker
Knowing that the title of Sofi Tukker's new album BREAD is an acronym for Be Really Energetic And Dance explains so much about this joyful, slightly off-kilter collection. The album, like its title, is a little goofy, a lot of relentlessly good times. The songs are hands-in-the-air bangers with glimpses of the group's sense of humor and joie de vivre — basically it's pretty much what the best night of your life sounds like, if the best night of your life happened in Ibiza. Turn this one up loud, get weird, and live it up.

Lagos Paris London [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Yannis & The Yaw
Every so often, a record comes along and makes you stop in your tracks. That's the case for the wondrous, imaginative new Yannis & The Yaw album, Lagos Paris London . Vibrant, upbeat, and with a bit of an edge, this five-track EP is the result of an all-too-short yet seemingly fated collaboration between Foals singer Yannis Philippakis and the late, great Afrobeat legend Tony Allen. The pair play off each other magnificently, creating a fusion of sounds so dynamic and fresh it just feels like the sound of NOW — and that's despite the many setbacks in the creation of this collection, from scheduling issues to Covid restrictions, that started all the way back in 2016. Lagos Paris London is phenomenal.
King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 (CD)
Denzel Curry
The new album from Denzel Curry is an instant classic. King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 nods to '90s-era Southern hip-hop while adding a fresh take from Denzel Curry and his galaxy of star contributors. These tracks let the good times roll; the beats are minimalist and hard, the rhymes skilled and smart. These feel like the type of underground tracks that, before long, will work their way into the playlists of everyone you know — that's how irresistible this record is.
Hole Erth [Clear Blue Smoke Vinyl] (LP)
Toro y Moi
Chillwave chameleon Toro y Moi morphs genres once again with the nostalgic, creative Hole Erth . Chaz Bear leans into the glitchy, electronic side of his sound as he navigates into lo-fi Soundcloud rap, '90s emo, and a more indie version of — yes — rap rock. The songs feel like a nod to the days of adolescent angst, wonder, and exploration, as filtered through Toro y Moi's lush washes of sound, hushed vocals, and diverse, cross-genre musical knowledge. The album coalesced quickly around sonic experimentations with pals like Don Toliver, Benjamin Gibbard, Kevin Abstract and Lev and that sense of freedom and fun permeates Hole Erth .
Whirlwind (CD)
Lainey Wilson
Add Lainey Wilson to the list of female country legends. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter has been steadily churning out top-notch twang for some time now, and on Whirlwind , she has created one of her most heart-in-your-gut releases yet. With lonesome Western guitars and urgent riffs, the songs are moody and moving — even when Wilson's at her most celebratory or defiant. Whirlwind is an album for those moments in life that feel like a tightrope walk between beauty and devastation. Unforgettable and incredible.

In The Shadow Of The Holy Mountain [Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Blind Pilot
After a lengthy wait between albums, it's great to have Blind Pilot back and sounding so fantastic. There's an underlying melancholy to many of the songs, even when the band is crafting catchy, sweet-as-sugar indie pop choruses, that gives these easy-to-love tracks an added layer of power. Elements of Fleetwood Mac's questing, grandiose guitarwork weave into the band's sound; dreamy, layered harmonies inject an aura of romance into both Blind Pilot's more downcast and more upbeat melodies. In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain is Blind Pilot at their most sweeping, epic, and enjoyable.
The Force (LP)
LL Cool J
Hip-hop legend LL COOL J returns with The Force , his first new album in more than a decade. Produced in its entirety by A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, The Force (an acronym for Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy) represents years of intense work. The result is an album that sounds thoroughly modern, full of razor-sharp writing and nimble, elastic vocals. Appearances from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Saweetie, Busta Rhymes, and more.
WOOF. [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Fat Dog
Fat Dog's brilliant and mind-bending debut album Woof. is a thrilling blend of electro-punk, rock & roll, techno soundscapes, industrial-pop, and rave euphoria. Front man Joe Love calls it "screaming-into-a-pillow music." We call it a good time. Prepare to have your mind blown by the London-based band's chaotic and infectious sound.
The Dichotomy [Gold Vinyl] (LP)
David Kushner
David Kushner announces himself as a major artistic presence with The Dichotomy . Kushner's deep, forceful voice has the atmospheric, on-edge quality of a Nick Cave or Leonard Cohen. His compositions draw on elements of gospel, gothic, folk, and alt-rock to create crooning, larger-than-life epics. Thematically, that makes sense, as Kushner's trafficking in some big, sometimes heavy stuff, including society and its lack of humanity, religious hypocrisy, and the struggle between darkness and light. The Dichotomy is the type of record that'll stick with you for long after the last notes fade out.
