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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Lay Low [Blue Smoke Vinyl] (LP)
Eddie Chacon
With Lay Low , Eddie Chacon delivers one of the most compelling R&B records in recent memory. As one half of the '90s soul music duo Charles & Eddie, he brought us the undeniable "Would I Lie to You?," a 1992 global chart-topper. Lately he has teamed up with indie stars like John Carroll Kirby and Nick Hakim to create dreamy leftfield R&B influenced by neosoul, dub, and trip-hop. "Empire" is a timeless track with retro appeal, a beautiful heartbreaker, with bittersweet, enticing instrumentation, dreamy harmonies, and simple but gut-punching lyrics. "Let the Devil In" is a woozy, dub-influenced track that casts a sad, lovely spell. "End of the World" combines dub with alt-R&B to create a hypnotic, downbeat mood. Lay Low is moving, entrancing, and deeply cool.

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.
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.
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.
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.
