On her transcendent new record, Workin' On A World, Iris DeMent faces the modern world � as it is right now � with its climate catastrophe, pandemic illness, and epidemic of violence and social injustice � and not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world, but implores us to love each other, despite our very different ways of seeing.

A little over a decade ago Logic was sleeping on Big Lenbo�s basement couch in College Park, Maryland. Months later he would sign his first record deal and his life then changed forever. With his career taking off, Logic gave everything to his work. For years he did album after album, tour after tour, interview after interview. And it paid off - but at a severe cost to his mental health. Logic knew if he was going to continue his relationship with music, it would have to be on his own terms. Introducing College Park, Logic�s debut independent album. In College Park, Logic tells the story about a kid from Maryland who was tired of sleeping on couches� and changed that the only way he knew how.�

The Shootouts didn�t expect to be back in the studio so soon after the release of their Top 10 Americana album 'Bullseye'. But when one of country music�s most legendary artists agrees to produce your next record, you don�t say no. That�s what happened when a mutual friend introduced the band to Ray Benson � longtime frontman and 10-time Grammy-winning founder of Asleep at the Wheel. Just months after the April 2021 release of Bullseye, the Shootouts found themselves hard at work with Benson and co-producer Sam Seifert on the album that would become 'Stampede'. The new album 'Stampede' continues to follow the Shootouts mission statement of embracing the various roots of country music while filtering it through the lense of a band from Northeast Ohio. It features special guests Asleep at the Wheel, Raul Malo, Jim Lauderdale, Buddy Miller, and Marty Stuart.

As mui zyu, Hong Kong British artist Eva Liu navigates the tricky territory of ever-changing�identity, merging fantasy and folklore to create a stage for self-acceptance and deliverance.�On her debut full-length�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century, Liu utilizes chopped-up sound-scapes, delicate industrial ambience and sweet pop melodies to introduce a character��a�guide��who can be stretched across worlds to offer the catharsis of patience, perseverance�and understanding. This isn�t a character formed from a desire to escape or flee the real world,�but rather a way to submerge even deeper into ourselves.�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century�is a reflection of everyone, and everything, that made us who we are.�

On her 2021�a wonderful thing vomits, Liu was praised for her seamless integration of�darkened, often ominous instrumentation and pillowy-soft vocals. As the front person of UK�indie-rock trio Dama Scout, Liu effortlessly navigates a disorientating genre-bending sonic�landscape with a playful, gentle dexterity. Now, with the help of Dama Scout bandmate�Luciano Rossi as co-producer, Liu�s first solo full-length builds upon these previous worlds to�form a blossoming, more upbeat patchwork of lo-fi percussion, poignant lyricism and oddly�alluring arrangements.

The writing process of�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century prompted Liu to explore more of her�Hong Kong heritage, allowing a space for acceptance and celebration. �I am Chinese and I am�owning it,� she explains. �Before, I would resent it. I tried doing things that would make me like�less Chinese somehow.� As the album began to take shape, Liu read the traditional Chinese�folklore writings of Pu Songling and joined local East and Southeast Asian groups. It opened�a portal into a new self, where Liu could blend her love of video games and film scores with traditional Chinese instruments.

Multi-platinum Grammy-nominated hard rock band Godsmack is set to release their eighth studio album, Lighting Up The Sky, on February 24th 2023 via BMG.

After Belgian electro-samba wunderkinds Antena split at the end of 1985, singer Isabelle Antena immediately shed her cold wave crown for a sophisticated pop princess tiara. On 1986�s Martin Hayles-produced En Cavale, echos of Madonna and city pop abound, with a lipstick stain of L80s Euro dance and spilled cosmopolitan�s worth of bossa nova stirred in for good measure. This elegant second chapter of a French pop diva has been expanded to include Antena�s shelved Island Records demo, adjacent B-sides and rarities, plus an expansive essay and previously unpublished photographs.

�FOREGROUND MUSIC�, the title of Ron Gallo�s 4th LP, and debut for Kill Rock Stars might also be a suitable name for his own genre. In simplest terms it�s the opposite of background music - unavoidable, urgent, in your face - Gallo�s consistent theme is to confront, disrupt and sometimes even confuse people into a sense of awareness. The intention to steer away from apathy and self-empower by focusing on what we can control and make light of in a world designed to take it away. The guitar is less an instrument and more of a primal noise machine. This record is a challenge to everything and everyone, including his own self, who is holding back the progress of humanity (especially in America) into a more open, empathetic and collective unit - the words delivered with a punkish tenacity and lining even the heaviest topics with an ever-present sense of humor. It covers the full spectrum of emotion. This music feels like life feels right now. In his eyes, how could it not? Clad in caution tape and construction orange color scheme, much like his surrounding neighborhood in Philadelphia where it was written and recorded. Gallo doesn�t see now (or ever) as the time to sit back and chill - this is going to be what we make it. Over the course of the record traversing between sounds akin to an exploding NYC subway station, oddball dance-punk, noise pop, even the more grave moments would sit well in whatever a modern version of CBGB�s 1975 would be - in 11 songs Gallo shares detailed anecdotes and takes on male entitlement, the age of anxiety, apathy vs. action, gentrification, narcissism, retail therapy, xenophobia, the dread of future generations, right wing extremists in giant pickup trucks, capitalism, climate change and the experience

New England rock band Four Year Strong have announced a re-recorded version of "Enemy of the World� complete with an updated depiction of the album art. The album originally came out over 10 years ago and was a breakout record for the band. Now it sees new production and 4 extra b-sides. "We decided to re record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that haven�t been able to get it since the record came out." says Alan Day. He continues "It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dan's house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it. We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like it�s 2010 again."

If you�re talking about modern progressive rock and don�t bring up Haken, you�re doing it wrong. Since the south English sextet started jamming together in 2004, they�ve been one of their genre�s most loyal yet, simultaneously, adventurous forces. And how do you honour such an eclectic, unpredictable career? You make Fauna: Haken�s most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date. �The premise of the album when we started writing it was that every song would have an animal assigned to it,� explains singer and co-founder Ross Jennings. �They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others.��

Kate NV�s WOW offers listeners a prismatic shift in perspective and scale, a parallel dimension in which the mundane becomes funny, unfamiliar, and altogether sensational. Turning the contents of her 2020 album Room for the Moon upside down and spilling them across a floor checkered with intrigue and surprise, Kate places sound, object, and ritual under the microscope to magnify the delight hidden in plain sight of everyday life.

WOW is Kate Shilonosova�s fourth full-length release as Kate NV in six years, and third for RVNG Intl. Her prolific musical output aligns with a highly attuned aesthetic and a deep commitment to visual world building. WOW is one of many of these worlds in which music is fully saturated with color, deeply tactile and textural. Shiny, sproingy, plastic. Where Room for the Moon embraced structure (abstractly speaking) and veered pop, WOW happily abandons conventional song shapes, parsing the experience of musical time into ecstatic fragments.

Amongst the nearly 150 albums that Willie Nelson has released, he has a number of amazing full-album tributes to songwriters from Kris Kristofferson and George Gershwin to Ray Price and Cindy Walker. Adding to that list is a new studio album dedicated to songwriting legend Harlen Howard who has scores of country hits including a number that crossed over to pop and even R&B charts. A member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Howard wrote hits for Ray Charles (�Busted�), Buck Owens (�I�ve Got A Tiger By The Tail�), Conway Twitty (the title track), Bobby Bare (�The Streets Of Baltimore�) and so many more. Produced by longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and featuring a murderers� row of crack Nashville musicians, I Don�t Know A Thing About Love is an amazing addition to Willie�s unparalleled catalog.

Inspired by the likes of Amy Winehouse and Sam Smith, Mimi Webb started writing songs of her own at 13-years-old in diaries before eventually learning guitar. In 2019, she uploaded a handful of early compositions and collaborations online, landed management, and inked a deal with Epic Records.�Mimi�s impromptu acapella videos exploded with over 20 million views on TikTok, paving the way for a string of original fan favorites such as �Before I Go,� �Reasons,� and �Good Without.� She�s been featured in Wonderland,�Teen VOGUE,�Refinery 29,�Euphoria,�CLASH,�FLAUNT and�Consequence of Sound, to name a few. Describing her forthcoming debut album, Amelia, Mimi says �The album is named Amelia, my full first name, as there are two sides of me that I want people to get to know. There�s Amelia, the girl from the UK countryside who loves to be at home with her family, friends, and dogs; and Mimi, the pop artist who loves to be up on stage traveling the world. It was important for me to capture this duality with songs written for both of those girls, and I�m excited for you all to get to know them!�

Over the last half decade, the music collective�Constant Smiles has produced a prolific�output of acclaimed music, culminating in their forthcoming record Kenneth Anger,�masterfully brought to life by engineer�Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, Liars, Dougie�Pool). The group is known most recently for their much-praised debut album for Sacred�Bones records, Paragons, an emotionally resonant offering of indie folk masterpieces that all�confront the internal ways we process our struggles with intimacies, addiction and human-ity�produced by�Ben Greenberg.

Constant Smiles� primary singer/songwriter�Ben Jones uses the creative process as a tool for�working through deeply transformative periods in his life. The band�s indie folk music lays�bare this internal process, but on�Kenneth Anger, the music shifts to synth pop and looks�externally, examining creativity, community, ritual, and their place in the healing process.�Ritual takes a primary role in the eponymous�Kenneth Anger. Not only is auteur Kenneth�Anger himself known for his sensorial depictions of ritual, Jones often used the films as a�silent visual back drop during his song writing sessions, a ritual that grounded the creation�of the album. And while the director�s use of saturated color inspired the warm �80s synth�style production, the director�s trailblazing spirit of authenticity also pushed Jones through�his most vulnerable expression to date.

Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you're likely to hear in�this burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we're all�wrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there's a�grounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to those�who know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every corner�of you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge. It lingers hours,�days, after you've left the bar - turns of phrase that tumble around your mind,�bittersweet and familiar. He sings as deeply about the love he holds as the love�he's lost and there's something so broken-in and comfortable about that�Southern inflection that every song feels like coming home. Sharing stages with�musicians on the rise such as Zach Bryan, Arlo McKinley and Mike and the�Moonpies, Drayton has quickly gained a loyal fan base.

North Georgia Rounder is strongly related to Pony Bradshaw's last album (Calico Jim) but also stretches its legs into different territory. Place/region/localism/history has been a focus of Bradshaw's over the past few years and he has continued that focus with North Georgia Rounder. But as the album title (Rounder) suggests, it�s also about life on the road: in taverns, in vans, sleeping on floors, meeting good folks, etc. Bradshaw notes how he longs for a well-ordered life and acknowledges the struggle to reconcile that instinct with spending half of it on the road. �But stories need to be told,� he said, �and somehow I�ve finagled my way into a position to tell a few."

Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� is an extensive collection of broadcast material from one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time and one of Britain's most internationally renowned bands. Curated by founder member Tony Banks and the group�s long-time engineer and producer Nick Davis it is available as a 53-track 5-CD set and 24-track triple LP.�These collections represent the cream of the group�s work recorded by the BBC between 1970 and 1998, and it includes contributions from all three of the group�s vocalists, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson. With notes by author Michael Hann, and packaged with a 40-page booklet, �BBC Broadcasts� contains favourites such as �Home By The Sea�, �Mama�, �Duchess�, �Carpet Crawlers�, �No Son Of Mine� �Turn It On Again� and many more.�With only a handful of these tracks previously officially available, Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� acts as both a collector�s cornucopia and an alternative �greatest hits�. Stretching from the very beginnings of the band�s career via appearances on �Night Ride� and John Peel, the set encompasses both of the group�s Knebworth performances (78 and 92) as well as their much-loved 1980 show at London�s Lyceum, and triumphant sell-out run of shows at Wembley in 1987.�Rounded out by material from the NEC in 1998 and Paris Theatre and Nightride sessions from the early 70s, as well as the much sought-after encore version of �Watcher Of The Skies� at Wembley Empire Pool in 1975, Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� is a veritable treasure trove.�

Endless Summer Vacation�is the eagerly anticipated new album from recording artist, songwriter, and trailblazer Miley Cyrus. This collection is Miley�s eighth studio album, and the follow up to 2020�s album,�Plastic Hearts.�2023 finds Miley the strongest and most confident she�s ever been, with the music and imagery of�Endless Summer Vacation�serving as a reflection of that. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and produced with Kid Harpoon, Greg Kurstin, Mike WiLL Made-It and Tyler Johnson.

The War And Treaty will release their major label debut, The Lover�s Game, via Mercury Nashville on March 10,�2023.

CELEBRATING A QUARTER CENTURY OF BLACKMORE'S NIGHT. 25th ANNIVERSARY RE-MIXED EDITION OF THE MILESTONE DEBUT ALBUM "SHADOW OF THE MOON"

The band's debut album "Shadow Of The Moon" (1997) was not only Blackmore's deliberate radical cut from his previous life as celebrated rockstar in Deep Purple and Rainbow; it was a ground-breaking statement of his artistic ideals: mainly acoustic music, influenced by the songs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance with a touch of genius that made them sound contemporary.

"Shadow Of The Moon" was a milestone album. It encompasses everything that Blackmore's Night stand for to this day: beautiful melodies and warm atmospheres that are able to reach the soul as well as joyful songs to dance to and to celebrate.

Those who really understood Ritchie Blackmore 's music in his rock years, could immediately find the essence of his greatness in Blackmore 's Night, supported by lyrics that fit his music more than ever before.

March 2023, the 25th Anniversary Edition of "Shadow Of The Moon" will be released worldwide. The album was converted in HD audio from the original recording, and it has been fully remixed, allowing the original performance to shine in its original glory. The original iconic artwork has been refreshed and reworked to celebrate the anniversary.

"More Than This is an incredibly deeply personal album to myself lyrically. But the whole band has put their heart and soul into this record. We're proud of it," says lead singer and songwriter Conrad Ellis. "It's a very personal album to me on the lyrical level, because it's all about the hurdles I've overcome in life, over the past two or three years, and coming out the other side of is as a person. It's all about growth and change. I think a lot of people will connect to it on a deep level, that's what I'm hoping anyway."

The title asks, "Do you want to be more than you are? Do you want more on the financial side of things? Do you just want more from life in general, or do you want more from your love life? You want more from your job. Do you think you deserve that in some areas?"

"'More Than This' doesn't come from a sense of entitlement," stresses Ellis. "It comes from wanting to make something of yourself and your life."

Prolonging the Magic, CAKE�s third studio album, is being released for the first time on 180 gram black vinyl.�Remastered audio of the 13-track album includes �Never There,� �Let Me Go� and �Sheep Go To Heaven�.

�Remember� You Must Die� is the sound of extreme metal stalwarts SUICIDE SILENCE channeling the spirit of their classic albums like �The Cleansing� or �No Time to Bleed� and delivering a modern deathcore masterpiece. Produced by Taylor Young (Xibalba, Vitriol, Drain), �Remember� You Must Die� taps into the rawness and energy in SUICIDE SILENCE�s DNA to thunderous result. Tracks like the album�s first single, �You Must Die� and its follow-up �Capable of Violence (N.F.W.)� are proof positive that SUICIDE SILENCE are far from mellowing with time. With this record, they�re going deeper and darker, the songs often lyrically being a meditation on death and finality. Says the band: �Every second the clock ticks we grow closer to death and what happens after our short bout with time is a total mystery. �Remember� You Must Die� was written as a reminder to remember death and to not let time be our master.� With artwork by acclaimed Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough, SUICIDE SILENCE isn�t merely looking back in anger. They�re starring forward and setting the standard for metallic extremity in the process.

Songs of Pain is the first album by folk singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, recorded on a simple tape recorder and released on Compact Cassette. This is the album's first time being pressed on vinyl.�

The seeds of the collaboration were planted in 2017 when Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars toured together on the European leg of his 24K Magic World Tour. One late-night jam session on the road unlocked immediate chemistry. Just before the world slipped into quarantine, Bruno called Anderson: �Remember that idea we had back in 2017? Let�s do it.� One studio session grew into to a months-long collaboration, culminating the �setlist of doom.� Legendary Bootsy Collins christened Silk Sonic and came in as the �special guest host� for An Evening With Silk Sonic, their debut album.Silk Sonic was finally set free on March 5th, 2021. Within less than a month, their debut single �Leave The Door Open� cracked over 230 million streams, and currently sits at 1.2 billion streams with over 346 million official video views. It reeled in rave reviews, including Variety who noted it �could be a Best R&B Song GRAMMY� winner from 1974.� After petitioning the GRAMMY� Awards to #LetSilkSonicThrive, they made their debut performance with �Leave The Door Open� and served up a powerful tribute to Little Richard.

Created between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawai'i, V is the first double album from the Hawaiian-New Zealand singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra band. Designed to play as one continuous movement and road-tested on dry California freeways, V is the definitive Unknown Mortal Orchestra car record. It's also the fifth full-length album Ruban has released in twelve years. Across fourteen sunbleached songs - written solo or with his brother Kody - Ruban draws from the rich traditions of West Coast AOR, yacht rock, weirdo pop and Hawaiian Hapa-haole music. Over a laidback blend of singalong anthems and cinematic instrumentals, he evokes blue skies, afternoons spent lounging by hotel swimming pools and the alluring darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces. It's a duality expressed in the dilapidated sunset blues and the saltcorroded soul Ruban explores through tracks like 'Layla' and 'Nadja. ' During the pandemic's early days, Ruban reunited with Kody at a cousin's wedding in Hawai'i. With assistance from their father, Chris Nielson (saxophone/flute) and longstanding Unknown Mortal Orchestra member Jake Portrait, they brought everything Ruban had been thinking about together. The result was V, due for release on March 3, 2023, through Jagjaguwar. When they talked about records that moved them in that spine-shivering manner, Ruban started thinking about the 70s AM radio rock and 80s pop songs that had lurked on the edge of his subconscious mind for most of his life. He wanted to write his version of records like that, leading to the two glorious uptempo singles Unknown Mortal Orchestra released in 2021, 'Weekend Run' and 'That Life'. However, the golden good times never last forever. Not long after, health issues began to plague his extended family. Putting his recordings aside, he helped his mother and his uncle move home from New Zealand and Portland to Hawai'i, and began dividing his time between Hawai'i and Palm Springs. During this period he reconnected with his relatives, reassessed his past, and started to look at things with fresh eyes. Hawai'i brought back memories of the darker side of his parents' lifestyle as entertainers. On those trips, he heard those classic AM radio rock records everywhere. They were inextricably intertwined with the palm trees, swimming pools, and glamorized hedonism he'd internalized from his childhood. There's a type of music in Hawai'i called Hapa-haole (Half white). You can hear it expressed in signature Unknown Mortal Orchestra style through the humid guitar-led atmosphere of V's penultimate song, 'I Killed Captain Cook'. Although the songs are presented in a traditional Hawaiian manner, they're mostly sung in English. Having been influenced by Hawaiian music since Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first album, Ruban saw a space for himself within the tradition. When he reflected on his success, he realised he had the responsibility and platform to represent Hapa-haole music on the global stage.

Over the span of two decades, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez has firmly established himself as an artist whose work transcends mere escapism in favor of full-on worldbuilding. Whether it be via his celebrated studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Gonzalez has proven that nothing surpasses his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific time, emotion, or sense of place.

Now with Fantasy, the Platinum selling, GRAMMY nominated artist returns with his most personal album to date. Featuring long-time collaborator Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Joe Berry, M83�s touring keyboardist and sax player, the album was born out of extended jam sessions that lasted nearly a year. The result is an exuberant, live-sounding record where trademark M83 goosebump moments abound.

Kacey Musgraves will be releasing a limited edition Zoetrope Picture Disc Vinyl in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of her debut Platinum and Grammy winning album- Same Trailer Different Park. The album went to #1 on the Country Album Charts when it was released in 2013. Kacey co-wrote all 12 tracks and co-produced the album with Luke Laird and Shane McAnally.

The music on Blackout rocks, has a truckload of sweat, blood and energy & conveys an intense insight into relationships (Walk Away) & personal politics (Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight - lyrics written by Woody Guthrie after the band�was given special exclusive access & permission to use the words of Woody Guthire through his family). The record�still contains rousing tunes rooted in Irish music & American Folk (Black Velvet Band & The Dirty Glass) and destined�to be a Boston Bruins call to arms classic called �Time To Go�. And it�s important to mention that each member of the�band played a crucial role, working hand in hand to create this new record. Everyone�s influence from the youngest�member of the band to the most experienced, bring together their many influences to play a role in creating an all time�gem of a rock record.

Misc. Items, trumpeter Jake Baldwin�s second record as a leader, features Adam Harder Nussbaum on drums, Toivo Hannigan on guitar and Cody McKinney on electric bass with seven compositions by Baldwin and three from Hannigan. It showcases Baldwin�s ability to mesh the simple and melodic with the exploratory and textural, the juxtaposition of beauty and tension, showing that miscellaneous items can sometimes be used together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.�

There�s more than a hint of ambition on the double�LP sophomore effort from Sam Austin Rabede, the�producer known as DJ Black Low. Pretoria, South�Africa-born and based, the young man makes�amapiano with new ways of expressing this local-turned-global style of dance music.�

In DJ Black Low�s musical imagination, the songs�manage to smoothly vacillate between dreamy and�firmly-grounded. Adorned with vocalists across�most of the twelve tracks, there�s a new dimension�to Black Low�s now-signature approach to abstract,�angular deconstruction of the rhythmic�developments in his songs.�

The album references influences and ambitions in�its song titles and lyrics while the music itself is�anthemic in its sonic and structural aspirations. On�many of the songs a slow-burning tension�transforms into something unexpected until you�re�somewhere else as the track concludes. There is�an emotional and compositional maturity that builds�on his earlier work. Vocals and lyrics are in focus.�Production collaborators among Black Low�s�Gauteng Province circle add to the constantly�churning array of ideas that populate this�consistently surprising release. Despite being a�relative newcomer, DJ Black Low is onto�something here.

After spending the past 20 years in the studio, on concert stages all over the world and at the literal top of the charts, All-American Rejects co-founder Tyson Ritter didn�t start Now More Than Ever in 2018 with the expectation it would turn into a real band � but a real band is very much what it has become. In tandem with veteran musicians/songwriters/producers Scott Chesak and Izzy Fontaine, Ritter has begun a meaningful and exciting new chapter in his music career with Now More Than Ever�s debut album Creatrix, which will be released March 17, 2023, by Thirty Tigers.

To hear Ritter tell it, All-American Rejects� relationship with the traditional music industry was in many ways the reason he was eager to try something different: simply making music with friends for fun, without any preconceived notions about what would, could or should happen next. In other words, no constraints, no A&Rs, no deadlines and no mandate to sound like anyone or anything other than themselves.

The fact that Ritter and Chesak have known each other for so long certainly helped jumpstart things, as the latter has been a multi-instrumentalist touring member of All-American Rejects since 2011. Chesak later segued into writing and producing for artists such as Weezer and Panic! At The Disco, a skill Ritter has long admired but had difficulty incorporating into his own creative process. As he began thinking about new music, he �definitely knew� he �didn�t want to write in the traditional sense with and for another artist in a studio. Scotty and I just got to talking and decided to write some tunes. It started that innocently.�

�We didn�t have a name, or an idea of being a band, until probably a year after that,� Chesak adds. �We were kind of just writing for the purity of writing and trying to make something cool. There�s a huge folder of songs we made during that time that aren�t part of this project, but three or four of them showed us there was something cohesive there.�

Having spent decades in the same musical scene, Ritter and Chesak were committed to a fresh approach when it came to the sound of their new work. �We were kind of sick of guitar music, because we both come from the rock world,� says Chesak, who handled bass, drums and keyboard duties during the sessions. �So at first we made a rule: Fuck guitars. No guitars!� Quickly they realized their beef wasn�t with guitars per se, but rather the same old sound of the instrument. Enter Izzy Fontaine, who has worked closely behind the scenes with everyone from Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw to Seal and Banks, and came up in the industry alongside many of the same bands as Ritter and Chesak.

Now More Than Ever shimmers with that spirit of freedom, its nine tracks gracefully surfing the peaks of the past four decades of pop and rock. These are the kinds of songs that used to be on the radio and certainly still should be today � the ones that make you dance, shake your ass and forget about everything else for a while. The breathless electro-rock of �D-E-A-D Together� and the sultry power ballad �Heart To Heart� best embody that vibe, while horn players from Ozomatli add an instant dance party to �Candle.� The �80s synth-driven closer �Never You� started life as a Ritter acoustic song but was quickly transformed by Chesak and Fontaine into what�s now the perfect soundtrack for a vintage slow dance prom scene.

To that end, �Heels Up Head Over� explores those themes with a tale about a werewolf and vampire getting married, while lyrical references to the ageless cool of Joan Jett and drunk, young romance make you feel right at home in Now More Than Ever�s company. �This is a record where there was freedom in lyric,� Ritter says. �When you�re on a major label for 15 years, you can succumb to trying to follow your last thing. That can seep into the music in a way that�s so unconscious. The joy of this band is that it�s completely free of any oppressive overlords, ivory towers, approval processes or co-writes that have been manufactured, licked, stamped and thrown onto the assembly line.�

Now More Than Ever is here to help make sure the pillars of pop and rock will never fall, and they�re prepared to go down believing. �This is our little monolith,� Ritter says. �It might be six feet tall amongst giants, but it�s pure. And it�s truth for us. It�s saccharine as fuck, and I love it.�

A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age -- and carry a certain amount of scars.

�There is something about boundaries on this record,� Isbell says. �As you mature, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you�re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.�

Weathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love, about change, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell�s fearsome 400 Unit, who�ve earned a place in the rock �n� roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers.

They make a big noise, as Isbell puts it, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit, he can be a guitar hero when he wants, and a conductor when he wants, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound.

Niall Horan's `The Show' - his third solo album and first since 2020's chart-topping `Heartbreak Weather' - will be released on June 9, 2023. Preceded by its lead single "Heaven," the album matches the pure emotion of his globally beloved past work with a powerful new element of soul-searching reflection. Each vinyl copy of `The Show' includes a randomly selected print of a letter handwritten by Niall about a song from the album.

3 LP Packaging: 3 LP 180-gram heavy vinyl edition, 20 new songs.

Christine and the Queens presents his new album PARANO�A, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. Includes �To be honest� and guest appearances from Madonna and 070 Shake.

A lot of people don�t realize that Freddie has actually been in the game for over a decade and came in on the same Freshman XXL cover as Meek Mill, Nipsey Hussle etc�
Yet he was the only one with no major Label Backing or Artist Affiliation and his partnership with Warner is his very first solo Major Label deal.
With that being said, he feels as if he has made it thus far in his career without compromising his morals, Creative Integrity and Principals as a Man all while resisting temptations �.Hence the title �$oul $old $eparately."

Jakob Armstrong (youngest son of Green Day frontman Billie Joe) began playing guitar at 7 years old and honed his craft privately until he met friends with like-minded tastes in music and Ultraman action figures. Produced by Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House), Ultra Q�s My Guardian Angel offers a deep sonic palette that varies between pop-punk and synth-pop, displaying Armstrong�s songwriting talents with the musicianship of Kevin Judd and brothers Chris and Enzo Malaspina.

Following the menacing but heartfelt return single "Leech", Dream Wife return in 2023 with their long awaited third album Social Lubrication. It's a rock-heavy, call-to-arms for empathy, in a world still propped up by patriarchal systems and underhand codes of silence. "Social Lubrication is built from foundations of trust, honesty & friendship developed over years of making music, experiencing life, love & rocking out together; wall to wall with hot n heavy dirty rockers, sultry, dangerous, vulnerable, untamed, feral, political statements with a healthy dose of silliness. Exploring the alchemy of attraction; lust for life; importance of community; calling out patriarchal structures in society & having a party while we're at it! Horny at the end of the world..."

Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid�s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021�s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy � but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature. A sense of open conversation is cultivated: this is unmistakably music made by friends, but it�s not exclusionary � they�re inviting you in to listen with them. Expansive, evocative and hugely varied, O Monolith retains Squid�s restless, enigmatic spirit, but it still holds surprises for those familiar with Bright Green Field. It�s a reflection of the outsized progression of a band always looking to the future. Like its namesake, O Monolith is vast and strange; alive with endless possible interpretations of its inner mysteries.

Pittsburgh, PA�s feeble little horse makes thrilling and wildly unpredictable songs that are a reflection of the joys that�come with making music with your best friends. The band�s sophomore album was made focusing on intuition over�intention: letting the magic of collaboration come first. �Anything that makes us laugh or puts a smile on our faces, we�usually end up keeping in the songs,� explains drummer Jake Kelley. Across 11 self-recorded and self-produced tracks,�the band careens from blissed-out pop to harsh noise, glitchy programmed drum beats, and off-kilter indie rock�sometimes all in one song. As a follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2021 debut�Hayday,�Girl with Fish, with its�overwhelmingly inviting and emotionally resonant tracklist, is a document of four people trusting their instincts and most�importantly each other.

Rob Grant will release his debut album, Lost At Sea, on June 9, 2023. An accidental recording artist, Grant has never had a lesson on any instrument in his life, but when he sits down at a piano, something magical happens. Father of international icon Lana Del Rey, he enlisted an array of talent to contribute to the making of the album. Features and writing credits include Lana Del Rey, while production credits include Jack Antonoff, Luke Howard, Laura Sisk and Zach Dawes.

From the tender-hearted �Jinzou Maria� to the rumbling and raucous �Yurei Zanmai�, the songs of Hagata bear an eerie yet somehow familiar sensation. Japanese pop tones, Serge Gainsbourg grandeur, folk whisper, and Brazilian surf rock all mix into the psychedelic stew. Blending past and present, from Canada to Japan, multiple lives lived at once, each track carries a sense of change, impact, of having been marked in an intimate way. And yet the force behind that marking is always just out of grasp, a wisp, a ghost, an energy, a spirit that compels you to keep reaching.

RSD Essential 041 - �There Goes Rhymin' Simon� is Paul�s Simon�s third solo studio album and one of his most critically acclaimed and beloved releases. Partly recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Studio, it shows Paul exploring a variety of musical textures in classic songs like �Kodachrome�, �Take Me To The Mardi Gras�, �Loves Me Like A Rock� and �American Tune.� The album was nominated for Grammy Album Of The Year and this 50th Anniversary RSD Essentials version is pressed on opaque orange vinyl.

Entitled Off Planet, the 5th studio release from Django Django is a 21-track album split into four parts. Originally destined to be four experimental EPs but immediately transformed into a proper album when they started the recording session, Off Planet features some of the most exciting and dynamic music Django Django have ever produced. Harking back to their more experimental and electronic roots, the album also features guests such as Self Esteem, Jack Penate and others.

�King of a Land� is an epic body of work. More than a decade in the making, its 12 new songs are full of extraordinary surprises. Unique and transportive, Yusuf�s new music, words and melodies paint a vivid picture of a world where childlike dreams are brought back into touching distance. His poetical storytelling invites the listener on a journey towards the gates of an alternative universe to that which we presently inhabit - where happy endings do happen.

Everything The Teskey Brothers do comes back to the same indefatigable ethos they�ve had since busking at St Andrews Market in the early 2000s. They compromise on nothing; a trait that is never more evident than when listening to their two studio albums, Half Mile Harvest and their 3 x ARIA Award-winning album Run Home Slow, where attention was given in equal measure to purist analogue recording techniques and timeless songwriting. In 2020, the group released their first live album, Live At The Forum, resulting in their first ARIA #1 chart debut. That album was again, painstakingly recorded the analogue way, via a tape machine camped side of stage during a four-night sold out run at the iconic Melbourne venue. They�ll return with The Winding Way later this year.

Throughout the ten tracks in their new album Let There Be Music, you can�hear the spaciousness Bonny Doon allowed themselves since their 2018�sleeper cult-classic Longwave. Their latest musical journey is one that has�big payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone just�stumbling across the band for the first time. After extensively touring Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox and�Colombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatchee�s�critically acclaimed album Saint Cloud. �The experience raised the ceiling on�our imagination,� Colombo said.

Soon after, Colombo and Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion to�the songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a time�of serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohn�s disease and�Bobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours of�doctors� appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also playing on Waxahatachee�s Saint Cloud tour.�These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Music�for several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as an�achievement in perseverance for the band.

On their long-awaited third album, we get a glimpse into the pure joy of Bonny�Doon. The album serves as less of one conceptual story, and each song�as their own individual offerings of putting words to the ordinary experience�of being alive. The band is at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftly�explores new terrain. Let There Be Music is brimming with small truths - both�profound and mundane, comforting and difficult - and we are invited to revel in�them all.

If 2021�s �Sometimes I Might Be Introvert� catapulted Simz into the big leagues, crashing into the top 5 of the albums charts, collecting Mercury Music Prize, Mobo, Ivor Novello and Brit Award wins and earning her the biggest live audiences yet in the UK and Europe yet, �NO THANK YOU� is yet another delicious left field turn for 29-year old Simbiatu Ajikawo. Sleek, succinct and utterly propulsive, it�s Simz� defiantly punk rock, two fingered salute to conformity and fame, and all the expectations and restrictions that come with. Recorded with her regular collaborator Inflo, this is Simz at her most free, daring and spontaneous. In her own words:�

'emotion is energy in motion.
honour your truth and feelings.
eradicate fear.
boundaries are important.�

10 Year Anniversary Edition of Sturgill Simpson's debut album�High Top Mountain.�The anniversary edition includes an "Old King Coal" blacked out album cover with a glossy embossed�jacket, and is pressed on translucent black vinyl.�Sturgill Simpson's authenticity stands out like an island of hope in a sea of tacky. Pure and uncompromising, devoid of gloss and fakery. High Top Mountain�s dozen instant classics evoke the sound of timeless country in its many guises and brings back the lyrical forthrightness and depth that permeated the music Simpson absorbed during his Kentucky childhood. Bonafide mountain hillbilly soul, as pure as you are going to find anywhere.

RSD Essential 039 * The Avett Brothers' 2007 release "Emotionalism" is the album that caught the attention of legendary producer Rick Rubin and got him to sign the band to their first major studio. "Emotionalism" also was their first album to crack the charts. Full of new Folk, Blues and Bluegrass riffs for a modern world, it is a lively take on everything from romance to paranoia. Of course, they still kick in some solid Rock 'N' Roll for good measure.

Produced by �The Great� Jeff Bhasker

Alternative pop outfit Valley�s sophomore album, Lost In Translation, captures the band�s evolution over the past four years both sonically and emotionally as a group of friends grow through the unpredictability of navigating creative careers. Lead vocalist Rob Laska explains, �It�s a very �caught in a thought and seeking� album. It�s honest, it�s confusing, it�s pop, it�s nostalgic, it�s black and white, its colorful, it�s unpredictable, it�s simple, it�s Valley, Lost In Translation.�

Indie Exclusive * First time on colored vinyl * TRST, the debut self-titled record from Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski, features tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carried along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears. TRST's "malevolent, sexy synth-pop" (Pitchfork) erupted out of Toronto's fertile underground music scene alongside darkwave contemporaries Crystal Castles and Austra. Lead by Alfons' otherworldly, gender-bending vocals and Postepski's genre-defying production, the album deftly moves across electronic pop, industrial, trance, and more. After two singles on Sacred Bones Records, TRST signed to Arts & Crafts for the album's release with accolades pouring in from outlets like NME, Pitchfork, and Under The Radar. To date, the album has sold 30,000 units in the US.

A poet with a staggering and true voice, Korean-American troubadour Nat Myers' folksy blues and remarkable pickin' are authentic, timeless, and enduring. The Kenton County, KY native's delivery harkens to traditional blues giants, but it's his unique blend of modern roots and Americana that continues to make crowds drop their jaws. Recorded live at the 100-year-old-plus home of producer Dan Auerbach, the album is haunted with the ghosts of the rich history of the blues.

Tommy Prine�s debut album �This Far South'' coming June 23, 2023 is not only a long awaited introduction but a testimony to Prine�s 20�s and the loss, love, and growth that has defined them. Co-produced by close friend and kindred musical spirit, Ruston Kelly, and beloved Nashville engineer and producer, Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling.

It wasn�t until Prine reached his mid-twenties, though, that he considered a career of his own in music and began to share with others the songs he wrote in private. His songs were quickly met with excitement and enthusiasm, which sonically brings together a colorful patchwork of musical influences and lyrically explores existential questions and emotional experiences.

The album�s title track, �This Far South'' marks a turning point in Prine�s life as he found himself struggling to escape a dark, aimless period. He ultimately found the courage to act on choices that would see him to the other, brighter, side.

�There were several years where I felt without purpose, spent all my time partying, and just existing. I found myself at a fork in the road and chose the better path, and in that moment, I swore I would never be This Far South again.�

Grief is a major throughline of Prine�s current work.� In 2017, Prine lost his best friend to an overdose.

�Since then, I have lost some more friends and have others who are still navigating the ups and downs of struggles with drug abuse.�

His song, �Letter To My Brother�,� was written as a message to the friends he�s lost, those in Recovery, and to friends who are still struggling.

He still grapples with the passing of his father in April of 2020.� �The world lost one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but I lost my dad.�� Prine bears the loss of his father and the memories he carries for others on the track, �By The Way�.

�When I'm playing certain songs, I can literally look out in the crowd and tell who else has lost their dad,� he says. �I can immediately tell which people have experienced, specifically, losing their father. They'll come up and tell me afterwards, and I'll be like, �Yeah, like, I figured that this conversation was going to happen,� because I could see their reaction. It�s been really powerful to see real-deal evidence that grief is a shared experience, and that suffering is a shared experience between humans.�

Prine capped off 2022 with his first solo tour across the United States. He was heavily involved with You Got Gold, an event series in Nashville honoring the life and songs of John Prine, and performed at AmericanaFest as an official showcasing artist.� He also debuted two original songs, �Ships in the Harbor� and �Turning Stones�.

�Ships in the Harbor� is a tender meditation on impermanence and change, with Prine communicating the universal experience of loss through poetic observations of the seemingly mundane.� The song found its way onto a series of editorial playlists including Spotify�s Fresh Folk playlist and Amazon�s Fresh Folk & Ameriana playlist.� It was also praised by a number of outlets including Billboard, Garden & Gun, and Saving Country Music who wrote, �With one song, Tommy Prine has already accomplished what many musicians and songwriters work their entire careers to accomplish, which is to make such an indelible emotional connection with an audience.�

This year, alongside his own runs of headline shows, Prine opened for Tyler Childer on his �Send In The Hounds Tour� in London.� He was also named one of Amazon Music�s 2023 Breakthrough Artists to Watch.

�I feel like I've learned more about myself in the last year and a half than I ever have in my life,� Prine says. �And I think that speaks a lot to doing something that I'm passionate about. I love and respect the craft. Just hitting the road and doing what so many people before me have done and will continue to do, it's really resonated with me. I think it's transformed me into the person that I am meant to be.�

In the summer of 2021, Geese emerged from out of nowhere, sparking a hype cycle unlike anything that had been seen for a young American rock band in recent memory. Suddenly a band that had previously planned to release some music, break up, and go away to college was touring the world. And during this entire process, that very same band everyone was getting to know ceased to exist. On a practical level, Geese are still the group we were introduced to in 2021. But spiritually, Geese have returned as an entirely different prospect. Their new album 3D Country is the sound of a restless, adventurous band redefining themselves. Anyone who has seen Geese live recently might�ve noticed the band adopted a different vibe onstage � more of a volcanic, unpredictable aesthetic. It turns out that wasn�t a flipside to the recordings of Projector, but foreshadowing that there was more to the story. Knowing they were now beyond teenage basement experiments and were instead making something for an audience who would hear it, Geese felt emboldened. �When we were writing Projector it was about narrowing the scope, trying to do more with less,� Gus Green says. �When we started writing for 3D Country we were trying to do a lot more and seeing what worked and what didn�t.� At the same time, they�re well aware of how significant a departure they�ve made. �As music listeners, we all appreciate bands who change over time, and are comfortable with risk,� Cameron Winter adds. It wasn�t necessarily a given that Geese would overhaul their sound, but with age came new adventures and interests. �Maybe the last record was our teenage angst and 3D Country is our newfound twenty-something arrogance,� he quips.

7 Inch includes a studio version of the track 'We're Gonna Get There In The End' and an acoustic version of 'Pretty Boy'

Autographed Color LP

�More than anything, I wanted to make an album that was generous, that was useful,� says Ben Folds. �I want you to finish this record with something you didn�t have when you started.� Indeed, Folds� masterful new collection, What Matters Most, isn�t so much a statement as it is an offering, an open hand reaching out to all those wounded and bewildered by a world that seems to make less and less sense every day. Recorded in East Nashville with co-producer Joe Pisapia, the album marks Folds� first new studio release in eight years, and it�s a bold, timely, cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity and perspective. The songs are bittersweet here, hilarious at times, but often laced with a quiet sense of longing and dread: a text message goes unanswered; an old classmate descends into the dark depths of internet conspiracies; a relationship unravels in the middle of a lake. And yet, taken as a whole, the result is an undeniably joyful record that refuses to succumb to the weight of the world around it, an ecstatic reminder of all the beauty and promise hiding in plain sight for anyone willing (and present enough) to recognize their moments as they arrive.

Brooklyn bedroom-pop trailblazers Beach Fossils' new album Bunny is a triumphant return for one of the 2010s most influential NYC bands. Bunny is a precise blend of the luscious dream-pop atmospheres they notoriously honed on their earliest projects, the post-punk vigor expressed on Clash The Truth, and the warm sophisticated songwriting of Somersault. Composer Dustin Payseur peppers the album equally�with descriptions of the joy of fatherhood and the existential pleasure of smoking cigarettes out of a car window�with friends --�Bunny features Beach Fossils' most personal lyrics to-date.

Closing Time foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues, and folk styles that�would come to be associated with Waits. It is on this debut album that Waits performs enduring classics of his career �Ol� 55� (famously covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking �Martha� and the gentle acoustic folk of �I Hope�That I Don�t Fall In Love With You�. Reissued for the first time as a double LP to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landmark debut with newly half speed mastering at Abbey Road Studios.

Avenged Sevenfold�s new album, Life Is But A Dream is a timeless work of art that blurs genres. Best served as a whole and consumed en masse to truly appreciate its musical breadth and sonic depth, it marks their boldest statement and most revolutionary work to date. Written and recorded over the span of 4 years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and Avenged Sevenfold in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, PA. Inspired by Albert Camus� The Stranger, the album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming. Immerse into this experience�

In March 2020, Jack Johnson reached out to Lee �Scratch" Perry to produce a dub remix album based on Jack�s most loved recordings. On August 29, 2021, the project was brought to a halt as Scratch departed this physical world. In 2022, Jack and Subatomic Sound System, Perry�s band of the last decade, connected directly and discovered they had all the pieces to bring Lee �Scratch� Perry�s three creations to completion. The LP also features dubs from Dennis Bovell, Scientist, Mad Professor, Nightmares on Wax, and more.

In 2015, American supergroup Hollywood Vampires played probably their biggest and one of their most legendary concerts in front of over 100,000 fans. Rock in Rio is not only one of the most famous festivals, but also the origin of the Hollywood Vampires' first live album.

With Alice Cooper as frontman, Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp, Aerosmith legend Joe Perry and producer and songwriter Tommy Henriksen, this band already has a top-class line-up. Still, the list of superstars doesn't end there. Joining them on stage are Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver) and Bruce Witkin (Grammy nominated producer). Special guests include Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) and Zak Starkey (The Who / Oasis). A star line-up that has never been seen before on a single show.

The album was produced by Bob Ezrin (Deep Purple, KISS, Pink Floyd, etc.).

On Last Man Dancing, Jake Shears turns his lifelong love affair with club culture into his most ambitious pop music to date. The album was brought to vivid life by Jake Shears and a close crew of collaborators, including head-turning features from Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda, Iggy Pop, Amber Martin, and a pre-Renaissance turn from the iconic Big Freedia.

Stakes is High is the 4th studio album by de la Soul, released on July 2, 1996. Stakes is High was critically lauded for it's music, lyricism, and it's overall message concerning the artistic�decline rap music began to face in the mid-90s. The title track and first single was produced by J Dilla and the album's second single, "Itzsoweezee (HOT)", with only Dave on vocals, was accompanied by a creative music video. The album spawned a third single "4 More", featuring Zhane. The album did provide a launching pad for future star rappers and actors Mos Def, who appeared on the track "Big Brother Beat" and Common who is featured on "The Bizness"

Indie Exclusive * Visionary artist Augustus Pablo is among the most important figures in reggae history. Widely credited with popularizing the use of the melodica in reggae, Pablo was a talented musician and an innovative producer who became an early dub pioneer. Now regarded as classics, his memorable 1970s recordings were part of the remarkable creative surge that vaulted the Jamaican music scene to international prominence. Much of this material was released by Rockers, an independent record label founded by Pablo and named after his popular Kingston sound system. Now, Nature Sounds is proud to present Roots, Rockers, & Dub, a new Augustus Pablo vinyl collection celebrating the 50th anniversary of Rockers. Featuring classic dubs along with rare and out-of-print tracks, the album captures Pablo�s immense contribution to roots reggae by highlighting a wealth of material spanning his entire career, all released on Rockers. Fully remastered and released in partnership with the Pablo family, Roots, Rockers, & Dub is a fitting tribute to an artist whose music still reverberates heavily more than two decades after his passing.

Indie Exclusive * First time on vinyl * The Game's follow-up to the Dr. Dre produced, The Documentary was 2006�s G.A.M.E. He preaches the hardcore gospel with as much fervor as its predecessor, serving up narratives of street hustling hardships as gritty and lean as any of his contemporaries. The sound is still steeped in Dre's trademark languid, hazy G-funk grooves, as the opener "Anything You Ask For" proves. A successor to Compton's rap heritage, yet fresh and contemporary enough to make his own mark, the Game is the voice of the next generation of West Coast hardcore. Originally released on Get Low Recordz and has guest features with JT the Bigga Figga, Bootleg & Shoestring.

The 1st solo album �Indigo� by RM of BTS is officially available for the first time on vinyl. �Indigo� includes different tracks in collaboration with various artists that portray RM's prevailing thoughts. Contents of the album include a 12-inch Vinyl, Outer Jacket, 3 Premium Photo Boards, Booklet, Folded Lyric Poster, Instant Photo and Photo Card.

50th�Anniversary Edition. Fresh expands and brightens the slow grooves of There's a Riot Goin' On, turning them, for the most part, into friendly, welcoming rhythms. Fresh winds up more varied, musically and lyrically, which may not make it as unified, but it does result in more traditional funk that certainly is appealing in its own right. It finds Sly precisely balancing funk and pop, creating an album that wound up being his last masterwork and one of the great funk albums of its era. A documentary on Sly & The Family Stone, directed by Questlove, is tentatively scheduled for 2023.

Solid Gold, the long-awaited solo debut album from acclaimed musician Miles Miller will be released July 7 via Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Sturgill Simpson, the album features twelve original songs and marks the first body of work released by Miller as a solo artist. The album was recorded over the course of three days in January 2022 in Nashville, TN.

Of the album, Miller shares, �Solid Gold is a love story, but about love being around and love leaving. It�s an entire story essentially about wanting to get back to the love you have, realizing you shouldn�t give it away, to love leaving, hitting the road because of it leaving, feeling love on the road, love from home, to realizing you need to keep walking and wish them well. It�s an album about the cycle of a love story that crumbles.�

Raised in central Kentucky, Miller has spent the better part of the past decade on the road as a drummer for artists including Sturgill Simpson and Town Mountain. In 2009, he was discovered by acclaimed producer Dave Cobb after playing drum covers on YouTube at the age of 16. While drumming and vocals are what he has been most noted for, playing guitar is his first love.

Spending time off of the road allowed him to hone in on his songwriting and it became clear that the time had come to step away from the drum kit and focus on his own artistic vision. This June, Miller will embark on a handful of dates supporting Tyler Childers. Additional tour dates to be announced.

Indie Exclusive * 50th Anniversary Edition * When Jodorowsky wanted, in his words, �another kind of music�something that wasn�t entertainment, something that wasn�t a show, something that went to the soul, something profound,� for the soundtrack to The Holy Mountain, jazz legend Don Cherry and crack studio musician (and one-time member of the Archies) Ron Frangipane came forward to share composing and, along with Jodorowsky, conducting duties. The result was a score that is every bit as hallucinatory as the fantastic visual imagery in the film itself. A cornucopia of musical styles that range from deep, primordial chants, to sitar folk melodies, to blaring orchestral riffs and romantic string arrangements provide the perfect aural accompaniment to a film that follows the philosophical and spiritual journey of its protagonist.

The Wrack Line is a collaboratively written album between Clyde Petersen and many special guests throughout the world. These songs were created through numerous exchanges of concepts, hooks, riffs and emotional conversations, processed through tin-can telephones, carrier pigeons, twilight dreams and shooting stars. In the summer of 2022, the Your Heart Breaks studio band, made up of Eli Moore and Ashley Eriksson from the band LAKE and Katherine Paul from Black Belt Eagle Scout, gathered at the Unknown studio in Anacortes, Washington to record the basic tracks for each song. We learned 2 or 3 songs together each day and recorded them together, live in the studio. Nicholas Wilbur produced and engineered the album, guiding us with ease, running the board and giving honest feedback on each attempt. I am grateful to all of the artists involved for their willingness to be open and vulnerable in the process of collaboration. I urge you to seek out the music of the accompanying artists on this album. Each of their projects is truly magical and has been deeply influential in my life. Thank you to Kill Rock Stars. It�s a teenage dream come true. No oceans were harmed in the creation of The Wrack Line.
