California metalcore heavy-hitters The Ghost Inside return with their 6th album, Searching For Solace . Tackling personal, weighty subjects such as loss and mourning, mental health, and the harrowing time many of us went through during the COVID quarantine. Singer Jonathan Vigil recently told Kerrang , "I think we've levelled-up, elevated, and found a more mature sound for the band." From lead single "Earn It," to crushing anthems like "Death Grip" and "Wash It Away," The Ghost Inside pours out their heart and soul into a slab of chiseled metal(core).

The Moon Is In The Wrong Place (CD)

Shannon & The Clams

The Moon Is in the Wrong Place isn't your "typical" Shannon & the Clams album. The band's lush, throwback style informs these songs but instead of full-throttle, technicolor rockers, the album is a thoughtful, deeply moving chronicle of grief and loss. The groove comes out in places, in others, stillness takes center stage. Written after the death of Shannon Shaw's fiancé, the album is beautiful, dreamlike, and affecting.

Blink Twice [2024] (BLU)

Zoë Kravitz

After Frida (Naomi Ackie) and her friend Jess accept an invitation to tech billionaire Slater King's (Channing Tatum) private island, things turn decidedly sinister. The wild partying among his wealthy friends features hallucinogenic and memory-altering drugs in this disturbing psychological thriller directed by Zoë Kravitz.

Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going (CD)

Shaboozey

Hot off his appearance on Beyonce's Cowboy Carter comes Shaboozey with his top-notch new album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Goin g. Shaboozey fuses classic country sounds with indie Americana, adds in a dash of hip-hop, and occasionally even some pop. In Shaboozey's hands, this modern melange feels natural, affecting, and utterly satisfying. This is an album with a capital "A," the type of front-to-back listening experience that creates a mood and tells a story that'll stick with you. "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is a down-and-out anthem that's irresistible and infectious. "Anabelle" will break your heart and "My Fault" (featuring Noah Cyrus) will break it into even smaller pieces. You've got to hear this album: you'll be glad you did.

Some Of It Was True [Red Vinyl] (LP)

The Menzingers

Philadelphia punk legends and road warriors The Menzingers' seventh album, Some of it Was True , stands as their most urgent and energetic effort to date. Capturing their distinctive live energy within the confines of the studio, the sound is rich, raw, and complementary to the group's increasingly prismatic songwriting approach. The Menzingers seem to be kickstarting a new era in their already illustrious career by tapping into the energy that brought the band to life in the very beginning.

Trail Of Flowers (CD)

Sierra Ferrell

No exaggeration: Sierra Ferrell's Trail of Flowers is a masterpiece. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter writes captivating, fresh songs inspired by classic country, bluegrass, and folk. These are ramblin', rootsy tracks that chronicle the excitement and disappointment of life on the road, gently make fun of Ferrell's ability to drive a suitor mad, and take a tongue-in-cheek look at romantic despair at a dive bar. All of which is to say that — woo boy — Ferrell has a voice, both in terms of her dulcet tones and her ability to weave a tale. An eclectic, electrifying indie country album that's likely to top many end-of-the-year "best of" lists.

Ilion [Blackened Red Vinyl] (LP)

Slift

French heavy proggers Slift are back with their third masterpiece, Ilion . Opening the album with the epic, sprawling 11-minute title track, this is an album that has a story to tell, and with no track under 8 minutes, Slift allow these songs to slowly unfurl and breathe. Fans of Melvins, Tool, Mars Volta and Baroness will not want to miss one.

slif slaf slof (LP)

Mermaid Chunky

On slif slaf slof , the highly imaginative duo of Freya Tate and Moina Moin deliver a celebration of medieval folk-meets-electronic and experimental music. The two visual artists/musicians incorporate everything from vocal chants and recorders ("céilí") to sparse, trancey beats ("chaperone") to spoken word and murky synths ("frogsporn"). With other highlights like the melancholy, reggae-flavored "tiny gymnast," the album is an eclectic and intriguing listening experience.

The Linguini Incident (Director's Cut) [1991] (BLU)

Richard Shepard

In this delightful romantic comedy, Rosanna Arquette plays an underpaid waitress at an obnoxiously hip New York restaurant named Dali. The new, mysterious, dangerously in-debt bartender, Monte (David Bowie), needs to marry someone by the end of the week…or else. They join forces to commit a robbery and solve their financial woes. However, things never go as planned.

Mother (LP)

The Wandering Hearts

The maternal experience is the key thematic element to The Wandering Hearts' stunning new album, titled, (yes) Mother . The folk-meets-Americana melodies perfectly convey the earth-shaking change and confusion of life as a new mother. Growth isn't always easy but it is rewarding, opening up life and one's conception of self into multifaceted new directions: Mother does a wonderful job of capturing these complex moments, with all their challenges and luminosity. With their latest, the UK trio has crafted an album that's poignant, joyful, and deeply moving. There's much to connect with here, whether motherhood is an experience you relate to or not.

Will Anything Happen [Expanded Edition] (CD)

The Shop Assistants

Will Anything Happen , the sole release from Scottish indie darlings The Shop Assistants, got a new coat of paint, so to speak. First, they remastered the original 1986 album. Next, they piled on the extras, such as B-Sides and Demos, Studio Outtakes, and 11 live tracks from 1987. Time has aged this album like a fine malt, with their singular blend of indie pop with hues of punk, new wave, and rock with an ethereal, dream-poppy-Cocteau-Twinsy thread throughout. Perhaps something would have happened had The Shop Assistants stuck together, but instead we have the ahead-of-its time Will Anything Happen as their musical star gone supernova.

Trap [2024] (BLU)

M. Night Shyamalan

When a father who is not quite what he seems (Josh Hartnett) brings his teen daughter (Ariel Donoghue) to see pop-star Lady Raven (Saleka), they discover that the concert is a trap to catch a serial killer known as the Butcher. M. Night Shyamalan delivers a characteristically twisty tale in this psychological thriller.
