Darkadelic (LP)
The Damned
We really have to thank these legends for so much. They were key figures in launching the punk movement (the first UK band to put out a punk single!) and then elevated the genre with their style, wit, humor, and class. While Sid was bleeding on stage, Dave Vanian was taking fashion tips from Bela Lagosi movies. In their 46+ years as a band, they've continued to release quality albums that reflect their growth and varied influences. The latest album, "Darkadelic," is well-named in that it acknowledges their ability to produce dark, gothicy punk tinged with frenetic garage rock and a sense of psychedelic fun. It was a complete honor to host them at Amoeba SF for a signing of "Darkadelic." See these guys live if you can.

The Night of the Hunter
A 4K restoration of the eerie 1955 classic. Robert Mitchum has never been creepier or more charismatic. Shelley Winters is truly a gift.
"Salvation is a last-minute business, boy."

ANOHNI and the Johnsons
Trailblazing trans activist Marsha P. Johnson is on the cover, and ANOHNI's haunting voice and themes are in the grooves. The songs here are political and wrenching and plaintive, all in ANOHNI'S expressively unique style.

2nd album from these Brighton Boys is even better than the 1st! It's more experimental & ambitious, yet somehow more consistent throughout.
