Billboard Heart (CD)
Deep Sea Diver
Deep Sea Diver's Billboard Heart is eclectic and electrifying, the kind of album that'll make you want to pick up a guitar yourself. The title track opens the record with a dreamy, undersea vibe before morphing into a full-throated, emotionally gripping indie rocker. "What Do I Know" starts with brittle beats, crunchy guitars and shoegaze-y vocals taking over to create a driving, epic atmosphere. "Shovel" is a post-punk-influenced dose of sinister swagger. These are songs that go straight to your heart, a gut-punching, glorious testament to the power of music.
Automatic [Orchid & Tangerine Vinyl] (LP)
The Lumineers
The Lumineers are back with some of their best work yet. The songs on Automatic are eclectic and electrifying, from infectious sing-a-long stompers to intimate, introspective ballads. Album highlights include the wistful, tender, and moving "You're All I Got" and the bittersweet, rock'n' roll epic "So Long." Written in response to the strangeness of modern life, the blurred lines between reality and artifice, and the desire to numb out, the warm, spirited, and deeply human Automatic is an antidote to what ails us.
Rome [White Vinyl] (LP)
The National
Seeing The National live is a magnificent, revelatory experience. The vocals are urgent and insistent, the melodies driving and powerful, the mood elevated and transformative. The band's new live concert album, Rome , will transport listeners to a very special night under the stars of the Italian city, circa summer 2024. Listening to these twenty-one relentless tracks, it's easy to get caught up in the compelling, intense atmosphere of the band's performances. Rome is The National at their addictive, epic best.
Blood On The Silver Screen [Blood Red Vinyl] (LP)
SASAMI
Blood on the Silver Screen is the bold, jewel-like new album from Sasami. A conservatory-trained classical musician, when it comes to her contemporary oeuvre, Sasami's a chameleon. Whereas she previously toured with a metal band, on her latest, she's going full-in glossy alt-pop. The songs are glittering and catchy-as-hell; they're also earnest, thoughtful, and smart. These tracks are total earworms that'll get you in the gut while you're singing along at the top of your lungs. A compelling, addictive album.

Just A Stranger (LP)
Cash & Skye
Los Angeles duo Sophia Skye and Henri Cash (Starcrawler) make their album debut with Just A Stranger. The single "Stranger" is an infectious country rock gem that shows off the duo's chemistry and Skye's charming vocals. "Pasadena Girls," sung with an over-the-top twang by Cash, feels like a lighthearted take on Gram Parsons-style country, elevated by Skye's harmonies and its wry lyrics. Featuring contributions from other members of Starcrawler, Just A Stranger is a strong debut, a welcome entry from a couple artists that are on the rise.
This Side Of The Island [Aqua Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Hamilton Leithauser
Hamilton Leithauser lets loose on This Side of the Island . Having come to fame with the wound-up, high-energy post-punk of The Walkmen, Leithauser leans more into the shambling, unpredictable energy of '70s rock 'n' roll on this one. The songs are eclectic and experimental; they make use of classic funk vocals, fever-pitch falsetto, garage rock grunginess, and lounge crooner ambience. This Side of the Island is heartfelt and gripping, imaginative and just straight up fun. A record that's a pure pleasure for listeners.
Stand Together [Silver Vinyl] (LP)
Aloe Blacc
Uplifting, soulful, and life-affirming, Aloe Blacc's Stand Together is guaranteed to make you feel good. It's also an album that DOES good, with each song dedicated to a different organization or cause. Case in point: lead single "Don't Go Alone" is inspired by the African proverb ("If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”) and spotlights sober-supportive community The Phoenix. Kindness, community, and connection are the underlying themes as Aloe Blacc deftly blends soul, R&B, and pop into an album that feels very much like what the world needs now.
New Love (CD)
Ziggy Alberts
Australian singer-songwriter Ziggy Alberts writes tender folk songs with pop bones. His latest, New Love , is as gentle, warm, and inviting as its title...it's also seriously catchy. Alberts' songs always feel rousing and upbeat, whether he's going full-on rollicking (the title track) or getting cosmic and introspective ("Learn Yourself"). New Love is a rootsy folk-rock album with a lot of heart and plenty of sing-your-life style choruses.

This Consequence (CD)
Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage are back with the epic, intense This Consequence . The band blends punishing riffs with melodic choruses to create songs that expertly balance brutality and beauty. Because this is an album about finding hope, personal power, and the will to go on...in spite of what seems like an inexorable darkness. Packed with headbanging rhythms, sweeping melodies, and incredible vocals, This Consequence will help you dust yourself off and keep fighting.
Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory (CD)
Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory
Sharon Van Etten returns with a new band and a new sound. Her new self-titled album with The Attachment Theory is grandiose, exhilarating, and no holds barred. Rooted in post-punk, the album is cinematic and moody, with moments bridging shoegaze, Krautrock, goth rock, and bristling electronica. Rich in atmosphere, with sweeping soundscapes and bigger than life choruses, these songs will make you swoon.
Foxes In The Snow [Metallic Gold Vinyl] (LP)
Jason Isbell
Jason Isbell returns with a fantastic new acoustic album, Foxes in the Snow . The songs are sparsely beautiful, the guitar work getting right down to the bone, while the vocals and lyrics feel pregnant with emotion. Isbell has always been lauded for his songwriting but Foxes in the Snow feels like a standout. On this new record, he seems to channel the classic country singers of yore, whose straightforward approach to loss and love, with their expressive, plainspoken melodies, made them legends. Foxes in the Snow will stick with you long after the last plaintive notes have faded away.
Temporary [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Everything Is Recorded
Temporary , the new record from producer Richard Russell's Everything is Recorded project, is a jewel of an album. XL Recordings says it "might be one of the gentlest records ever made about death"...it's also probably one of the most vibrant. Grief and loss are underlying themes; there are jarring moments as well as tender, sweet moments and fantastically experimental ones. Russell's eclectic cast of collaborators is filled with heavy hitters, each of whom leaves their own signature on the album's sound. Kamasi Washington, Sampha, Bill Callahan, Noah Cyrus, Maddy Prior, Berwyn, Alabaster Deplume, Jah Wobble, Yazz Ahmed, Laura Groves, Rickey Washington, Roses Gabor, Jack Pe?ate, Samantha Morton, Clari Freeman-Taylor, Nourished By Time, and Florence Welch all make appearances on this astonishing album.
