Lives Outgrown

Beth Gibbons
A powerful year for solo albums from front women of iconic bands. We got Kim Gordon's 'The Collective' earlier this year (which I think blew us all away), and now Beth Gibbon's 'Lives Outgrown'. It's rich, textured, musical, and sounds like a place. If you've ever loved Portishead, or been particularly moved by Beth's voice - this will do things for you. Really stunning work. Read more

Homogenic (CD)

Bjork
Everytime a song off this album comes on, I am constantly reminded of it's timelessness. It's never been in my rotation more than it is today. For nostalgia's sake, get into it on CD. Read more

Challengers (Soundtrack)

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
An all out experience, front to back. Rhythms you've never felt before, sounds you've never heard before, and hyper-contagious vocals and melodies peppered throughout. To distill this album down to it's simplest discription - put this on to get into your body, and out of your head. It's a tool that will not fail you. Read more

Lives Outgrown (LP)

Beth Gibbons

Easily my favorite album of the year so far! Beth's vocals are absolutely stunning and to me she sounds the best she ever has. And with the help of Lee Harris from Talk Talk, the instrumentals are hypnotic and unique.

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (CD)

Knocked Loose

After seeing them play at Sick New World this summer, Knocked Loose have become my new favorite Hardcore band. Even with their fast rising popularity and mainstream crossover, this record is as brutal as anything they've put out. Perfect start to finish.

Hex Dealer (LP)

These guys are my fav new discovery of the year. They have a wildly exciting sound taking influence from bands like The Garden and Death Grips. They're totally insane live, too. Check them out!
