That Golden Time [Gold Vinyl] (LP)

Villagers

That Golden Time is a fitting name for the latest from Dublin's Villagers. Singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Conor O'Brien writes warm, hazy, dreamy indie folk that sounds like the perfect soundtrack to a sunny summer day lounging in a field and watching clouds. The melodies range from lilting and wistful to downbeat and gripping. It is, as you may have guessed, an achingly lovely album. Intimate and introspective, Villagers just capture something about the poignancy of temporality and the everyday beauty of life in these songs.

Get Goin' (CD)

Katie Henry

Blues rock dynamo Katie Henry solidifies herself as a standout voice on her third solo album Get Goin '. The New Jersey native showcases her compelling songwriting and versatile vocal performances from start to finish. From the fiery, rebellious, hard hittin' lyrics on opener, "Love Like Kerosene" to the heartfelt, raw, and nuanced songwriting on ballad "A Doll's Heart," Henry effortlessly weaves together a range of emotions throughout the tracklist. Get Goin' is a breath of fresh air for blues rock.

The Roof Is On Fire (CD)

Mitch Ryder

The inimitable Mitch Ryder delivers on a dose of what makes his work so unforgettable on The Roof is on Fire . This essential double live album features covers (Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues") and Ryder classics ("Betty's Too Tight"). The melodies are blistering, gritty, and guaranteed to turn up the heat. Ryder is a legend and The Roof Is on Fire is a fitting celebration of his storied career.

The Collective (CD)

Kim Gordon

Legendary musician and artist Kim Gordon's second solo album continues her collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and advances their joint world building. Raisin's damaged, blown-out dub and trap constructions work as a foil to Gordon's word collages and mantras, conjuring themes of our modern world's dysfunctions with communication, commercial sublimation, and sensory overload. Gordon is here to disrupt and we like it.

Cloudward (CD)

Mary Halvorson

An album primed for urban wandering, structure and improvisation meld on Mary Halvorison's Cloudward . While her sextet evokes the liveliness and curiosity experienced on a bustling city street, it's her compositional texture that stands out in the crowd. Halvorson's idiosyncratic rhythmic style and compositional skills are on full display on this album. Brimming with breathtaking spontaneity, warm passages, and unique rhythms, this contemporary jazz album constructs a scene in motion.

Welcome Home [Evergreen Vinyl] (LP)

Gareth Donkin

Twenty-three-year-old Brit Gareth Donkin makes a remarkable debut on Welcome Home . This smooth, soulful album would've absolutely ruled the airwaves in 1982; Donkin's voice and sound feels like he's the spiritual progeny of the inimitable Michael Jackson, with a little bit of Jamiroquai and Bill Evans thrown into the mix. The tracks are romantic, easygoing, and funky, with elements of jazz, hip-hop, and yacht rock thrown into the groove. This is the type of album that sets the tone, and if the one you're looking for is effortlessly cool, Welcome Home deserves a spin.

Diaspora Problems (CD)

Soul Glo

Philly four-piece Soul Glo have created a beast of an album with their first for Epitaph, Diaspora Problems . This is hardcore in the purest sense of the genre: all rage, frenetic riffs, abrasive vocals, relentless percussion, and incisive takedowns of politics, society, and oppression from a Black punk POV. The record isn’t just radical politically, it’s also radical in its vulnerability and its honesty. Loud, fast, and infuriated, Diaspora Problems is one of the year’s best.

Shout Sister Shout (CD)

Ghalia Volt

Ghalia Volt has to be one of the most electrifying, innovative artists working in blues today. On Shout Sister Shout , the Belgian-born guitarist and singer creates smokey, scorching hot tracks that'll keep listeners coming back for more. The album calls to mind some of the all-time great modern blues artists while adding some distinctive, unexpected flair all Volt's own: it's perhaps no surprise she grew up listening to punk before getting into rockabilly and psychobilly and discovering the blues. Shout Sister Shout is guaranteed to heat up your day.

empathogen [w/Poster] (CD)

WILLOW

WILLOW's empathogen is a heartfelt and bold sonic step forward. Moving away from her earlier pop and pop-punk sounds, WILLOW now leans into a jazz vibe that's alternatively theatrical and spectacular, alternative and authentic. She's joined by Jon Batiste and St. Vincent on these lush, splendidly arranged tracks. Lead single "b i g f e e l i n g s" is a fantastic indicator of the temperature, virtuosity, and emotional pitch of empathogen : every element of this show-stopping album is just straight up bigger and more brilliant than everyday life.

A Trip To The Moon (LP)

Ghost Funk Orchestra

Apparently, the moon has gotten a whole lot funkier since mankind's last visit! New York psych-funk group Ghost Funk Orchestra's fourth album, A Trip To The Moon , takes you on an immersive, psychedelic mission to Earth's closest companion. Foot-tapping percussion rhythms, vibrant horns, and fluid vocals are accompanied by archived NASA sound bites that assist in launching listeners into the space-bound theme of the project. Energetic and exciting from top to bottom, this album is an ideal summer afternoon spin.

Powders (LP)

Eartheater

An alchemic melding of musical styles is Eartheater's comfort zone, and she makes it shine on Powders . Electro hip-hop beats and multi-instrumentation are laid bare under her breathy, dreamlike vocals. Pop banger "Pure Smile Snake Venom" and her hauntingly beautiful take on System of a Down's "Chop Suey" are standouts on this musical mosaic.

Push [Red Vinyl] (LP)

Sextile

Scuzzy, hedonistic, and ridiculously fun, Push is Sextile's first release for Sacred Bones. Long an LA underground mainstay, the band sounds better than ever as it descends in darkly pleasurable new directions, cranking up the volume on an unholy mixture of '90s Manchester, bigbeat, breakbeat, acid, post-punk and punk rock. This is music for 3am, with all its possibilities, wooziness, latent drama, and the inevitable comedown. Sextile has always received a serious amount of buzz, so if you're one of those people that gets turned off by hype, you'll just need to hear this one to believe that it's well-earned. A breath of fresh night air.
