SOS (LP)

SZA

Its finally here!!! SZA's long awaited sophomore album hit the market and I couldn't be happier she's back. The album has a total of 23 tracks which gives her plenty of room to play with flow and atmosphere. Some stand out's being "Kill Bill" and "Blind". The album takes her listeners on a journey through her feelings after a break up and she captured so many different raw emotions in her writing both musically and lyrically. I'd highly suggest anyone who has a love for R&B to take a listen! Read more

to hell with it (LP)

Pink Panthress

Pink Panthress is another pop girlie who's music first started making waves on Tik Tok. Her most streamed single, "Pain", is featured on this album along with several other tracks that bring a sort of 2000's nostalgia to today's electronic pop sound. Read more

Troubled Paradise (LP)

Slayyyter

Slayyyter is one of the newer artists who emerged in the spotlight during the hyperpop boom of the 2010's. This album is mixture of tracks that invokes similar feelings of fun and reckless abandon as the most successful pop artists of the early 2000's while also keeping its own unique identity with its roots in glitch-core and electronic beats.

MOTOMAMI (LP)

Rosalia

Where to even begin with this record... Rosalia struck gold with this album. The entire collection runs seamlessly into each other and is meant to be listened to as a whole. It is a roller coaster of emotions as you listen but the clarity in her voice remains through every song. If you have the time to listen to the entire album from start to finish, you definitely wont regret it. Read more

Through A Room (LP)

Bill Nace

Nace is a master. The patience and the thrill, the exploration and the down to earth expression. Always so fun to get a new one by him Read more

Holy Wars (LP)

Tuxedomoon

This is album is way too good it has no business being this good. It has no business grooving this hard while being so ruthlessly Out There and inspired. Like you could hear it anywhere and it'd take a few beats before you realized it was completely unhinged. Read more

Levee Camp Blues (CD)

Mississippi Fred McDowell

This is everything music is supposed to be. It's almost too obvious to say. It drones it slaps it guts you most of all. Looped it in my car for a month. Read more

Dazibao No.2 (LP)

Francois Tusques

Really never heard anything like this. Couldn't tell you the last time I said that about an album of piano music. Worth buying for the album art alone. Read more

Words and Music, May 1965 (LP)

Lou Reed

Just perfect. Such a damn treat that this exists. Making me tear up to even think about what a treat it is that it exists. Read more

You Are My Everlovin' (CD)

Henry Flynt

This is one of the best compositions of all time. No exaggeration. I'll take VU's 'Heroin', Sonny Sharrock's 'Black Woman', Coltrane's 'India', and This for the greatest compositions of all time. Read more

Polaroid/Roman/Photo (LP)

Ruth

Unbelievably cool that this was reissued. What a time to be alive!!! Read more

RUFFS (Other)

Kenny Mason

If Lil Wayne, Deftones and Lil Baby had a brainchild that grew up in a hood in Atlanta, we would find Kenny standing and growling, ready to scream, bar up, and serenade us with sounds that perfectly align to the duality of being an Angelic Hoodrat. Perfect production, and such a wide range of influence, be prepared for anything. Read more

BLK VINTAGE: THE REPRISE (LP)

BLK ODYSSY

A musical force that disrupts an ocean of calm to stand firm in it's unapologetically black soundscapes. straight from the soul, nodding to the likes of Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo, with occasional guidance from Parliament-Funkadelic legend George Clinton himself, BLK VINTAGE delivers a beautifully tragic, yet rich vibe to immerse yourself. this record turns pain to power and prowess. Read more

CHAOS NOW* (Other)

Jean Dawson

It's punk, it's alternative, it's hip hop, it's a whirlpool of sonic influences that ultimately can't be categorized because that would do it no justice. some riffs make me wanna punch some foos in a moshpit, others make me wanna be introspective and cry in a ball on the floor. with sounds so vivid and raw, remind yourself to unclench your jaw and catch a vibe from time to time. Read more

This Is Why (LP)

Paramore

Paramore at their absolute best. We hear funk, emo, alternative, excellent vocals, and everything has it's pocket, and that pocket is deep. It'll hug you and hold you while you digest the fullness of it's rich instrumentation and songwriting. Worth the wait fashooo. Read more

The Yussef Dayes Experience Live at Joshua Tree (LP)

Yussef Dayes

Yussef Dayes is a mastermind musician and drummer, seemingly incapable of delivering anything less than perfection. this man don't miss bruh. Every song is like a freehand brushstroke, carefully crafting a musical masterpiece that lingers gently on the ears, tickles the brain, and settles itself in your heart and body. whether you dance, sit, create or watch your music, you will leave this album with a new appreciation for groove. Read more

Supernova (CD)

Nova Twins

The most sonically creative metal duo I've lent my ear to in a long time. Very high energy, riffs and drums that make me stomp and jump, this ain't a phase, mom...It's a takeover. Keep your mind and ears open, and brace for impact. Read more

Katalyst JID013 (CD)

Katalyst

Katalyst never fails to deliver a sound that simultaneously brings us to the future, and creates a nostalgia for a time in music where the instrumentation speaks pure soul. Always a pleasant listen, not a single skippable song. Let it flow through you. Read more

Raven

Kelela

Fantastic second from Kelela that gets better with each listen. She will take you back to the fun days of smooth 90s dance and r&b.

Love As Projection

Frankie Rose

Always happy to have Frankie Rose back in my life. More catchy indie synth pop.
