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.
Descanso (LP)
Angela Muñoz
Angelea Muñoz's Descanso is a brilliant, sophisticated solo debut. Dreamy and downbeat, these leftfield R&B tracks are atmospheric, languid, and seductive. Just twenty-two-years-old, the native Angeleno collaborated with Adrian Younge for 2020 release Introspection and joined The Midnight Hour, Younge's group with Ali Shaheed Muhammad, at age seventeen — she's an accomplished, assured, uniquely gifted artist. Descanso is absolutely lovely, calling to mind the moody magic of iconic fellow traveler Sade.
Spiral Your Way Out [Yellow & Black Splatter Vinyl] (LP)
Zzzahara
ZZZahara's bittersweet Spiral Your Way Out is a satisfying, sad gem of an album. The band's dreamy garage rock sound comes with an edge sharp enough to draw blood; the melodies feel fueled by darkness with despair, and pleasurably intense, fuzzed out emotional crescendos. Listeners won't be surprised to learn that the album was written in response to the end of a relationship that required contortionist work to fit into someone else's box before inevitably shattering. But Spiral is also strong, redemptive, and fierce — it's the sound of picking up your own pieces and rebuilding yourself. A heartbreaking, scorching, beautiful record.
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.

Beethoven Blues (CD)
Jon Batiste
On Beethoven Blues , Juilliard-trained piano sensation Jon Batiste reaches back to his classical roots – and shakes the proverbial snowglobe. Embracing his years of classical training, he interweaves well-known pieces from Beethoven with flourishes of the jazz and blues of his native New Orleans. On Ludwig Van classics like “Für Elise,” “Symphony No. 5,” and “Ode to Joy” (becoming “Ode to Joyful” here), Batiste effortlessly traverses back and forth between the musical worlds. Sure to be embraced and applauded, Beethoven Blues is another shining example of the singular talent of Jon Batiste.
Rave Immortal (CD)
ALT BLK ERA
ALT BLK ERA's debut is wildly original and ultra addictive. The young UK sister duo fuses drum 'n' bass, alt-pop, and electronic into a gorgeous, hardcore, headbangin' mix. "My Drummer's Girlfriend" is a wickedly funny saga about the mean girls in your social circle. "Straight to Heart" is a real heartbreaker, a deeply vulnerable look at chronic illness and the feeling of being left behind. Then there's the hedonistic, frenetic "Run Rabbit," a track that conjures up wild, endless nights where anything can happen. Rave Immortal will make you want to do just that: rave 'til you've got nothing left to leave on the dance floor.
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.
The Human Fear [White Vinyl] (LP)
Franz Ferdinand
The Human Fear is some of Franz Ferdinand's most irresistible, enjoyable work yet. With new wave synths, rollicking pianos, and post-punk guitars, the band makes writing catchy-as-hell indie anthems seem effortless. Yet there's a thrilling darkness beneath these ear worms: as you may have guessed from the title, the album is about chasing fear to feel human, the fear of leaving something familiar, the fear of isolation. Thrilling and tightrope tense, perhaps that's what makes this album hit so hard.

The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess ['My Kink Is Coral' Color Vinyl] (LP)
Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan’s Grammy-nominated debut album chronicles her move from Missouri to Los Angeles and focuses on love and self-discovery. Big pop hooks and strong vocals abound here, often tinged with melancholy. The energy rides high on the ultra-catchy but sweet-natured “Pink Pony Club” and the cathartic, breakup track, “My Kink is Karma.” Elsewhere “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl” is edgy and funky with tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
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.
Greatest Hits (CD)
Coolio
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Coolio's legendary "Gangsta's Paradise" single, Tommy Boy brings us Coolio's Greatest Hits . Out on CD and yellow vinyl, this collection truly is classic after classic, with none of the filler you find on other compilation albums. That's because Coolio was one of the most unique, influential, and straight-up talented rappers of the '90s era — and these songs sound just as killer today as they did back then. Of course, "Gangsta's Paradise" is on here, as is "Fantastic Voyage," "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)", "C U When U Get There," and "Rollin' with My Homies" (from the Clueless soundtrack). Essential and enjoyable.
