It focuses on Francis' sci-fi fascination and lacks any Kim Deal songs; even her backing vocals are far and few between. Yet the band sounds revitalized on Trompe le Monde, as if it were planned as their last hurrah. The raucous \"Distance Equals Rate Times Time\" and the explosive cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain's \"Head On\" are fairly straightforward, but the lyrics remain quirky on \"Planet of Sound,\" a song about a Martian who lands on Earth, and \"Palace of the Brine,\" a tribute to sea monkeys and Utah's Salt Lake. He even disses hipsters and pretentious students -- basically, the Pixies' fan base -- with nasty little digs like \"Subbacultcha\"'s \"I was wearing eyeliner\/She was wearing eyeliner\" and \"U-Mass\"' \"It's eduuucaaationaal!\" Musically, \"Trompe le Monde\"'s psychedelic sheen and \"Alec Eiffel\"'s atmospheric keyboards prove that the Pixies' sound wasn't defined by Steve Albini-style rawness. There's also more emotional depth: \"The Sad Punk\" features the strangely poignant bridge \"And evolving from the sea\/Would not be too much time for me\/To walk beside you in the sun,\" and \"Letter to Memphis\" is a heartfelt, if cryptic, love song. Though Trompe le Monde doesn't sound quite like the Pixies' other work, Come on Pilgrim's spooky beginnings, Surfer Rosa's abrasive assault, Doolittle's deceptively accessible punk-pop, and Bossanova's spacy sonics helped make Trompe le Monde a rousing swan song and a precursor to alternative rock's imminent success. Whether that means their music remained pure or they missed their chance to cash in is debatable; either way, the Pixies are one of America's greatest, most influential bands. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP 180g standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pixies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884525559889,"sku":"YNPR9F-IN9O-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Pixies-TROMPE-LE-MONDE_9Vx6x.jpg?v=1762464275"},{"product_id":"adele-21-vinyl","title":"21 (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNamed as the Greatest Billboard Top 200 Album of All Time, 21 is the second studio album from the multiple BRIT, GRAMMY, Oscar and Golden Globe award-winning, ADELE.

Once again, he's enlisted drummer Dave Grohl as his anchor and he's made amends with his erstwhile bassist Nick Oliveri, suggesting Homme is returning to either Rated R or Songs for the Deaf, the two turn-of-the-millennium masterpieces that thrust QOTSA out of their stoner rock cult, but ...Like Clockwork isn't so simple as a return to roots. Homme flirts with his history as a way to make sense of his present, reconnecting with his strengths as a way to reorient himself, consolidating his indulgences and fancies into a record that obliterates middle-age malaise without taking a moment to pander to the past. Like always, Homme opens himself up to collaborations, wrangling an impressive roster that includes his wife Brody Dalle, his longtime companion Mark Lanegan, his prot?g? Arctic Monkey Alex Turner, his kindred spirit Trent Reznor, Scissor Sister Jake Shears, and superstar Elton John, but despite this large cast, the only musician who makes an indelible presence is Homme himself. ...Like Clockwork is unusually focused for a Queens of the Stone Age record, containing all of the group's hallmarks -- namely volume and crunch, but also a tantalizing sense of danger, finding seduction within the darkness -- but there is little of the desert sprawl and willful excess that have always distinguished their records. This is forceful, purposeful, fueled by dense interwoven riffs and colored with hints of piano and analog synthesizers that quite consciously evoke '70s future dystopia. QOTSA always specialized in this eerie sexiness, but the precision on ...Like Clockwork -- quite different than the merciless propulsion of Era Vulgaris, the 2007 album that closed out their time at Interscope -- feels conceptually tight, Homme smartly sculpting guitar fuzz, elastic solos, haunted harmonies, and deceptively slinky rhythms into a cool, relentless collection of heavy rock. The force impresses but also the restraint: there are missed beats and open space, muscular music that seduces and pummels, even manages to soothe while it assaults. It's complex, harder, and catchier than anything QOTSA have done in a decade, and more song-oriented, too, but that's a sign of maturity: Homme has marshaled all of his strengths on ...Like Clockwork and has found a way forward, a way to deepen his music without compromising his identity. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/4\/13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP 150g standard Gatefold Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Queens Of The Stone Age","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884525920337,"sku":"VBDC2G-QURH-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-LIKE-CLOCKWORK_nvU6e.jpg?v=1762464286"},{"product_id":"xx-i-see-you-vinyl","title":"I SEE YOU (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn music and love, routine can be deadly. The exquisite stillness of the xx's music was so distinctive and influential that, by the time of Coexist, it felt dangerously close to confining them instead of defining them. Given the half decade between that album and I See You, change wasn't just necessary, it was inevitable. Jamie xx's solo work signaled that something different was on the way, and in retrospect, Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim's cameos on In Colour feel like previews for these songs about being musically and romantically bold. I See You unleashes the xx's passion with swifter tempos, fuller arrangements, and a newfound heat in Sim and Croft's vocals on songs like \"On Hold,\" which also showcases Jamie xx's audacious production skills as he turns a snippet of Hall \u0026amp; Oates' \"I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)\" into an irresistibly jittery hook. The band's commitment to taking chances reaps rewards elsewhere: \"Dangerous\" kicks off I See You with a brass fanfare that's about as far as the xx can get from the plaintive seduction of their early work. Indeed, the album's happiest songs are among the best, whether Sim and Croft are falling in love all over again over contrail guitars on \"Say Something Loving\" or letting a relentless beat give their flirtation momentum on \"I Dare You.\" When the xx pare back, they do it with purpose, and still find subtle ways to push themselves. In another act's hands, the propulsive self-doubt of \"A Violent Noise\" would be a club banger, but they opt for simmering tension instead of drops and peaks. Croft shows off her seldom-heard upper register on \"Lips\" and \"Performance,\" one of several moments on I See You where the band's self-awareness borders on meta. Sometimes, this becomes too literal and repetitive; as enjoyable as the sultry swagger of \"Replica\" and heartfelt balladry of \"Brave for You\" are, it's hard to shake the feeling that the xx are retracing their steps. Nitpicking aside, the risks they take on this album pay off: I See You is some of their most captivating music since their debut. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Xx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884525953105,"sku":"ZW0DXP-6UZ0-00","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Xx-I-SEE-YOU_qOINe.jpg?v=1759468620"},{"product_id":"xx-xx-vinyl","title":"XX (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the young South London quartet The XX burst onto the U.K. music scene with the 2009 single \"Crystalised,\" it was already evident that the group's sleek, dystopian vision of modern soul greatly belied their still tender age (all four members were in their teens at the time). And despite the group's confident cobbling together of influences as far a field as contemporary and classic R\u0026amp;B (Aaliyah, Bobby Womack), atmospheric post-punk (Young Marble Giants, The Cure), and U.K. dance music (dubstep, trip-hop), it was hard to consider them as anything more than the latest hype from hype-crazed U.K. journos. That being said, The XX's 2009 full-length debut is about as fully-formed as first records come, much less ones created by four teenagers. Building upon the alluring vocal partnership of co-leads Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft, whose wounded call and response vocals sound mature beyond their years, XX manage to craft haunting synth-fueled melancholia that exudes disillusionment, coy sexuality, and, sometimes, even innocence, all at once.

Marshall continued work on new material for years but was displeased with it, save for a set of mumbling-in-a-bucket hip-hop blues, A New Place 2 Drown, credited to his off-stage name. The Ooz, the artist's second King Krule album, surfaced -- or is that seeped out? -- five years after the first one. Compared to the debut, the songwriting is more refined and the sounds are more disparate, resulting in a sort of controlled chaos, a scuzzy mix of nervy neo-rockabilly projectiles, howling dirges, and noodling dive-lounge tunes. It's further distinguished with saxophonist Ignacio Salvadores' writhing bleats, continually in support of Marshall's scraggly guitar work and variety of voices, as liable to sound like his slumped natural self as an exaggeration of growling punks like the Clash's Paul Simonon or the Ruts' Malcolm Owen. Clear references are made to Marshall's previous full-lengths, and repeated allusions to water -- as in sinking -- as well as blue as a color and feeling, are likewise threaded throughout. Damp, suffocating city streets are never distant. When Marshall retreats to physical solitude, he can't leave his head -- not even with a prescription, a situation related in a whirling frenzy of insomniac agitation titled, naturally, \"Emergency Blimp.\" Marshall is just as expressive and evocative when he keeps it guttural; \"She smoked me whole and blows out Os,\" over decayed, dispirited bossa nova, passes like a wisp but could be the album's emotional center. Details that seem to provide levity -- \"Man this band that's playin', is playing fucking trash\" among them -- have a way of heightening the sense of inescapable dread. No matter that feeling, illustrated with one distressed scene after another, filtered through a multitude of inspirations and a few bodily fluids, The Ooz is a completely engrossing work from a one-off. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Gatefold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"King Krule","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884528181329,"sku":"2FEMGY-9JAQ-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/King-Krule-OOZ_tapuZ.jpg?v=1762464326"},{"product_id":"snail-mail-lush-vinyl","title":"Lush (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSinger, songwriter, and guitarist Lindsey Jordan was already a known entity in the Baltimore and D.C. music scenes as a high schooler. A near-life-long guitarist, she was taking lessons from Mary Timony (Helium, Ex Hex) around the time she released her first Snail Mail EP as a 16-year-old in 2016. While the guitar work is a focal point of her style in general, it regularly borders on mesmerizing on her full-length debut, 2018's Lush. Balancing dreamy, complex chords and seductive melodies on the instrument, songs like \"Speaking Terms\" and \"Let's Find an Out\" have the subtle effect of seeming to sing with accompaniment before her voice makes an entrance. When it does enter, her vulnerable vocal delivery, combined with vexed lyrics that are both confessional and observational in nature, often sounds like a private, handwritten letter that, once out of her system, she'll immediately crumple up and leave burning in an ashtray. At the end of \"Golden Dream,\" for instance, she rants \"Stupid, stupid me\" for a cathartic 30 seconds. She's joined on most of the album by drums and bass, giving further texture and volume to her own forthright presence. One of a couple exceptions to that is the aforementioned \"Let's Find an Out,\" which has especially light drums and percussion, in contrast to the crashing cymbals of certain other moments on the record. That opens up space for spare keyboards and anxious rumination. Even the lusher, more driving tracks like \"Pristine\" and \"Full Control\" still feel intimate, though. That's due to not only her lyrics and impulsive style of melodic phrasing, but to the hazy quality of her guitar tones, and the wistful, subtly rich chord progressions that come across like complicated moods. It's an impressive formula for a debut, and one that succeeds whether listeners are tuning in more for the soundscape or more for the sentiment. ~ Marcy Donelson\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Snail Mail","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884528214097,"sku":"VTC1GW-JZ6O-00","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Snail-Mail-Lush_De9SZ.jpg?v=1762464326"},{"product_id":"last-shadow-puppets-everything-youve-come-to-expect-vinyl","title":"EVERYTHING YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the Last Shadow Puppets, Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner and singer\/songwriter Miles Kane, garnered well-earned Scott Walker and David Bowie comparisons, as well as a Mercury Prize nomination for their 2008 debut, The Age of the Understatement. A broodingly realized, highly orchestral production, the album wowed fans of '60s Baroque pop and '70s spaghetti western soundtracks. Eight years later, the duo are back with their similarly atmospheric, wicked-tongued sophomore album, 2016's Everything You've Come to Expect. The duo recorded the album after Arctic Monkeys went on hiatus in 2014 leaving Turner at loose ends in his adopted home of Los Angeles. While both Turner and Kane have stockpiled accolades on their own, there is definitely a dark, creative menace that ignites when they collaborate. Best buds since their bands toured together in the early 2000s, Turner and Kane often appear as debonair lounge lizards, mad lads on the loose with talent and charisma to spare -- or to toss off like half-spent cigarettes. Which is to say, they make writing catchy, literate songs sound easy. Not too many people can fit the term, \"Sectoral Heterochromia\" into a pop song like the Last Shadow Puppets do so deftly on the sparkling, dark-hued \"Aviation.\" In fact, whether it's a \"spirograph of branches that dance on the breeze,\" in \"She Does the Woods,\" or their cheeky summation of one woman's je ne sais quoi as \"the first day of spring with a septum piercing,\" on \"Sweet Dreams, TN,\" the album is fecund with the duo's knack for poetic turns of phrase; their \"enthusiasm paraphernalia\" as they call it on \"Dracula Teeth.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe lyrics, devilishly wedded to their echo-chamber-laden arrangements and sneering Bowie-esque croons, play like coded spells set to music. Part of the Last Shadow Puppets pop magic is the wry sense of humor that keeps their obsessions (namely femme fatales and the things men do to get over them) from ever getting too self-serious. As they sing on the sinister punk mariachi groover, \"Bad Habits,\" \"Should have known little girl that you'd do me wrong.\" Utterly infectious and rife with sexual desire, the track stands out as one of most aggressive and unforgettable on the album. Ultimately, Everything You've Come to Expect plays like a west coast film noir fever dream, scored by Ennio Morricone, with Kane and Turner the doomed protagonists, chasing icy blondes and lollipop Lolitas down their own debauched Hitchcock-ian spiral.

As Homme himself puts it, ‚ÄúThe most important aspect of making this record was redefining our sound, asking and answering the question ‚Äòwhat do we sound like now?‚Äô If you can‚Äôt make a great first record, you should just stop‚Äîbut if you can make a great record but you keep making records and your sound doesn‚Äôt evolve, you become a parody of that original sound.‚Äù Longtime Queens cohort co-producer Mark Rankin added, ‚ÄúAfter the baptism of fire that was ‚ĶLike Clockwork, I was excited to get into the studio again with the challenge of pushing the sound for this record, especially with the the addition of Ronson into the creative mix‚Ķ What we‚Äôve made is forward looking yet unmistakably Queens.‚Äù\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 1.5X LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Queens Of The Stone Age","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884532179025,"sku":"ZZ64G0-5WJN-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-VILLAINS_aFKoz.jpg?v=1762464344"},{"product_id":"buzzcocks-singles-going-steady-vinyl","title":"SINGLES GOING STEADY (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSINGLES GOING STEADY is a collection of the Buzzcocks' singles, including both A and B-sides.

Recorded at Eden Studios and Abbey Road Studios, London, England; T.W. Studios, Fulham, England; Olympic Studios, Barnes, England; Strawberry Studios, Stockport, England. The Buzzcocks emerged from Manchester's thriving punk enclave with a succession of startling pop singles. Tight melodies and highly memorable hooklines were enveloped in a breathless group sound full of purpose and drive which contrasted with singer Pete Shelly's dispassionate, almost throwaway, delivery. These eight singles, both a-sides and flips, covered a variety of subject matter, from masturbation ('Orgasm Addict') to 1981 nuspeak ('Everybody's Happy Nowadays'), without recourse to obfuscation.

Then John Panduranga Henderson -- who sang with Ray Charles -- delivers a moaning, gospelized solo as Coltrane vamps on his blues. This isn't common Hare Krishna chanting, folks. This music is compiled from four privately pressed cassettes (Turiya Sings [1982]; Divine Songs [1987]; Infinite Chants [1992], and Glorious Chants [1995]) that Coltrane distributed to members of the Sai Antaram Ashram (which she founded) between 1982 and 1995. Some were recorded in professional studios; all were engineered by Baker Bigsby -- who oversaw the tape transfers here from the masters -- and represent a startling chapter in her musical legacy. The music exists in the space where \"ecstatic\" meets \"heavy.\" Coltrane, known to her followers as Turiyasangitananda (\"the Transcendental Lord's highest song of bliss\"), brought all of her musical history to bear in these pieces, from her beginnings playing piano in the churches of Detroit and the hard bop she played there to Paris and New York, to the vanguard, which she embraced with openness and helped to redefine with a softer, more spacious approach.\u003cbr\u003eThe most amazing aspect of this music is what few have heard before: Coltrane's very deep and physical singing voice; her lead vocals are featured on most of the album, and it's another instrument she commands (though she wouldn't see it that way). On \"Om Shanti,\" she accompanies herself on organ using breath control in an airy, devoted chant. On \"Rama Rama,\" sarod, tablas, and her Oberheim synth add blissful dimensions to her quietly passionate singing. \"Keshavas Murahara\" commences with strings (her chart), Oberheim, and droning organ; her voice emerges as if from smoke, slowly intoning the prayer, dirge-like, but jazz informs her phrasing as the synth winds around her voice. The first half of \"Journey in Satchidananda\" features only her organ and Oberheim. It's droning, bluesy, and heavy -- nearly Gothic. When the Ashram Singers come in and Joshua Spiegelman adds a flute, some light enters. Tamil singer Sairam Iyer solos in his own language, opening the heart of the chant and bringing it home. Harp makes its presence felt on \"Er Ra,\" where Coltrane's playing moves across Eastern and Western modes as her singing emerges in sweet, blues-inflected lines. Luaka Bop did everything right for The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turyirasangitananda, from getting full participation from her family to create an amazing package with a great long essay by Ashley Khan, to reminiscences, to excellent sound. This is not just ecstatic music, but cosmic soul music.

Ballard's collection of the same title. \"Notes Towards a Mental Breakdown,\" one of the chapters in the Ballard book, would have been just as apt an inscription on an album that looks more like a mid-'80s 12\" designed by Neville Brody than anything classified as hip-hop. Old comrade Paul White produces two-thirds of the tracks, lending gnarled, sometimes clanging and blasting rhythms that complement Brown's elevated levels of dread and anxiety and slightly reduced amount of vulgar mischief. Brown spends most of his time looking darkly inward. In that berserk yet lucid high pitch, he raps about being more desperate to score than his clients: \"Slice your tomato if you owe us for the lettuce\/Runnin' through the D sorta like Jerome Bettis.\" He depicts himself as a vice-addled, teeth-grinding paranoiac with no soul or hope, and that summarizes only the first three cuts. The outward-looking material is just as biting. In \"Today,\" the track that most exemplifies the album's title, Brown pithily specifies observed struggles and atrocities -- hustling to pay for diapers, the dodging of bullets from murderous civilians and authority, the prison-industrial complex -- as he references OutKast. No such dread is in \"Dance in the Water,\" the album's only true break from the hellscapes. Over the brawling tribal Pulsallama rhythm that it takes to dance to what he has to live through, Brown paraphrases Parliament's \"Aqua Boogie\" as he outlines a new workout plan -- minus a proposition, one technically clean enough to be applied by youngsters. Guest appearances are kept to a judicious few. Kendrick Lamar provides a verse and the hook on \"Really Doe,\" a knocking Black Milk production that also features Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt. Brown's meeting with Cypress Hill's B-Real is expectedly pinched and faded. Most symbiotic is \"From the Ground Up,\" decaying funk with Kelela in dreamlike Janet Jackson mode. Even with its outside input, Atrocity Exhibition is Danny Brown at his least diluted, almost unrelentingly grim and completely engrossing. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2xLP, printed inner sleeves in 5mm spine sleeve and download card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Danny Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884535521361,"sku":"TZCY7U-324U-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Danny-Brown-ATROCITY-EXHIBITION_NeqJq.jpg?v=1759468641"},{"product_id":"holger-czukay-der-osten-ist-rot-vinyl","title":"Der Osten Ist Rot (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpon examining the eventful life of Can bassist Holger Czukay, one might come to the conclusion that this intrepid musician was a loner. His turbulent career exuded an enduring eccentricity governed by a boundless free spirit. Yet Czukay, who passed away unexpectedly last year at the age of 79, constantly emphasized that his creativity was always contingent upon a musical partner, whether that was a skin-and-bones counterpart or an anonymous manifestation that interacted with him through radio waves or, as happened later, the internet. Nonetheless, most of his partners were of flesh and blood. His oeuvre, which is in itself cinematic in nature, boasts a cast worthy of a Martin Scorsese film. Only the most interesting character actors were cast: Brian Eno, Phew, Rolf Dammers, David Sylvian, Annie Lennox, Jah Wobble, his Can bandmates The list could go on and on.

Although it's not a radical departure, ANTICS does reveal a broadening of the group's sonic palette. The opening track, \"Next Exit,\" is a slowly building, piano-laden anthem, marked by singer Paul Banks's remarkably widened vocal range and strangely hopeful lyrics. Clearly the group is eager to move beyond the endless Joy Division comparisons they previously garnered, and this bid works to wonderful effect. Of course, many of the elements that made their debut, TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, so entrancing--soaring guitar riffs, tight bass lines, frenetic drumming--are still present, particularly on \"Narc\" and \"Slow Hands,\" but even these tracks aren't merely content to repeat past glories.

You don‚Äôt need me, or Yo La Tengo, to tell you that. These are dark times, in our heads as much as in the streets. It‚Äôs easy to lose contact with the ground. Confusion and anxiety intrude into daily life and cause you to lose your compass. There are times that call for anthems, something to lift you out of your slump and put fire in your feet. And sometimes what is needed is a balm, a sound that will wrap around you and work out the knots in your neck. For Yo La Tengo, this is a slow-motion action painting. Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew did it all themselves, in their rehearsal studio, with no engineer and no complicated equipment (John McEntire later assisted in mixing). They did not rehearse together beforehand; they turned on the recorder and let things coalesce. Songs came together over long stretches, sometimes as much as a year going by between parts. You‚Äôd never guess this, since the layers are joined with such a liquid brush. You‚Äôd imagine most of the songs had sprung forth whole, since they will enter your head that way.

And even if your mind is not unclouded--shaken, misdirected, out of words and out of time--you can still float, ride the waves of an ocean deeper than your worries, above the sound and above the Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yo La Tengo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884543418449,"sku":"W6AVAN-CCWJ-00","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Yo-La-Tengo-THERES-A-RIOT-GOING-ON_Om5ab.jpg?v=1759468652"},{"product_id":"animal-collective-fall-be-kind-vinyl","title":"FALL BE KIND (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter releasing one of the best-reviewed albums of 2009, Animal Collective followed ten months later with one of the best EPs of the year, Fall Be Kind.

As the producer and keyboardist spent more time absorbing and shaping the recordings, the title, initially comic in meaning, gained emotional weight while he was provoked to consider his mortality and the losses he has been dealt, including the deaths of his father and mother, his grandmother, his great aunt Alice Coltrane, and creative collaborator Austin Peralta. The completed You're Dead! consists of 19 tracks averaging two minutes in length that are intended to be heard in sequence from front to back. Its flow is even more liquid than that of Until the Quiet Comes, though the sounds are more jagged and free, with roots deeper in jazz. Ellison once again works extensively beside longtime comrades and pulls new collaborators into his sphere. All of them -- bassist and vocalist Thundercat, drummer Deantoni Parks, saxophonist Kamasi Washington, and many others worthy of mention -- help him push jazz, R\u0026amp;B, rap, and electronic music forward at once. Most striking and powerful of all is \"Never Catch Me,\" easily the longest cut. An album's worth of ideas and a whirlwind guest appearance from rapper Kendrick Lamar are condensed into its four sonically rich minutes. The tone dramatically shifts with the following \"Dead Man's Tetris,\" a sinister concoction of melodic bleeps and gunshot effects involving Ellison as Captain Murphy, and also Snoop Dogg, in which J Dilla, Freddie Mercury, and Peralta are all part of the afterlife fantasy. Previous Flying Lotus releases have their bleak and elegiac moments, but they're central here, highlighted by \"Coronus, the Terminator\" (an Ellison\/Niki Randa duet), \"Siren Song\" (fronted by Dirty Projectors' Angel Deradoorian), and \"Obligatory Cadence.\" The instrumentals range from playful, as reflected in titles like \"Turkey Dog Coma\" and \"Turtles,\" to the distressed likes of \"Tesla\" and \"Moment of Hesitation,\" with the latter two both anchored by Gene Coye's feverish percussion and Herbie Hancock's glimmering\/flickering piano. It all plays out in a kind of elegantly careening fashion. It concludes with \"The Protest,\" where Laura Darlington and Kimbra softly sing \"We will live on forever\" like a defiant mantra. Like his great aunt, and his great uncle John Coltrane, Ellison has created exceptionally progressive, stirring, and eternal art. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP 140g Gatefold w\/ DL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flying Lotus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884545155153,"sku":"ZIVTWC-071Q-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Flying-Lotus-YOURE-DEAD_1h7VR.jpg?v=1759468652"},{"product_id":"thundercat-thundercat-drunk-box-set-4x10-red-vinyl","title":"Thundercat DRUNK (Box Set 4x10\", RED) [Vinyl]","description":"Thundercat - Thundercat DRUNK (Box Set 4x10\", RED) [Records \u0026amp; LPs] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5054429007763 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 x 10\" Box Set\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Apocalypse and Drunk, his second and third albums, bassist Stephen Bruner contributed to a slew of remarkable recordings by fellow Los Angeles dwellers -- Flying Lotus' You're Dead!, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly and Untitled Unmastered, Kamasi Washington's The Epic, and Terrace Martin's Velvet Portraits among them. Several months before Bruner picked up a Grammy for \"These Walls,\" off To Pimp a Butterfly, he issued an EP anchored by \"Them Changes.\" His funkiest, sweetest, most vulnerable song, it reappears as the top highlight on Drunk, a fragmentary and scattered program relative to the Thundercat full-lengths that preceded it. Bruner is still fueled by numerous forms that immediately preceded his birth -- smooth soul, soft rock, jazz fusion, synth funk, new wave, all late '70s\/early '80s -- and filters them through his soft-hearted, mischievous personality. He surrounds himself with a slightly different cast of old and newer associates, including the first three figures listed above, keyboardist Dennis Hamm, drummer Louis Cole, and producer Sounwave. Bruner dreams about being a cat (replete with meowing background melody), pens a tribute to Japanese pop culture (\"Just point me to the Pachinko machines\"), and delivers a sarcastic jingle regarding social media fatigue (\"I'm out here probably doing the most\"). Love and mortality remain Bruner's strongest subjects, placed on full display in terse but touching ballads like \"Lava Lamp,\" \"Jethro,\" and \"3AM.\" In \"Show You the Way,\" another bright spot, he swaps verses with Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, two of his heroes, to swirling and balmy effect.

If neither singer\/songwriter sounds precisely like the other, they're good complements, both cherishing laconic melodies, loping rhythms, and a loads of guitar. All of these elements are in play on Lotta Sea Lice, a rambling nine-song affair that finds the duo singing each other's songs, playing tunes penned by friends, and covering Belly's \"Untogether,\" an underappreciated '90s cult classic that the band once played as a duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Barnett and Vile do not bring to mind Yorke and Tanya Donelly, nor do they sound a thing like the original Kurt and Courtney of Nirvana and Hole fame. Singing together, Vile and Barnett evoke J Mascis and Liz Phair, comparisons that have been leveled against the individual rockers before, but on this lazy stroll of an LP, it appears the pair are indulging in alt-rock cosplay. It doesn't help matters that when they indulge in an explicit duet, they often veer toward the cutesy, as on \"Continental Breakfast,\" where they puff up their international friendship over the titular meal. Usually, though, Lotta Sea Lice just settles into a cozy rustic groove that dispenses with any of the coiled energy of Barnett's Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. and opts for Vile's cheery stoner strumming. As they're both charismatic singers with a way with an elliptical melody, it's pleasant. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Courtney Barnett \/ Kurt Vile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884547645521,"sku":"P07H7J-YVF0-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Courtney-Barnett-Kurt-Vile-LOTTA-SEA-LICE_dxSuw.jpg?v=1759468658"},{"product_id":"snail-mail-habit-vinyl","title":"Habit (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAvailable in its first pressing for Matador Records, Snail Mail‚Äôs debut EP ‚ÄúHabit‚Äù serves as a nascent example of Lindsey Jordan‚Äôs extraordinary talent as a songwriter, singer and guitarist.

Where their 2010 self-titled album split the difference between back-to-basics post-punk and lavish experiments, on their fifth album -- and first without former bassist Carlos Dengler -- Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler, and Sam Fogarino hone things even further. El Pintor is Interpol's shortest album, and its music is the closest to the ideal form of the band's sound: Kessler's guitar swings between prodding, angular lines and dreamy washes; Fogarino provides crisp punctuation; and Banks' yearning-yet-authoritative baritone gives more form to abstract lyrics such as \"There is a slope like an appetite\" (Banks also steps in for Dengler, and does an able, if slightly less distinctive, job). Throughout the album, the trio, joined by Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis, delivers archetypal examples of many of its sounds. El Pintor's opening track, \"All the Rage Back Home,\" even combines the band's extremes into one song, pitting dreamy verses against pulse-pounding choruses with results that are catchier than anything on Interpol. Elsewhere, \"My Desire\" showcases their flair for spring-loaded guitars that build into a skyward rush; \"Anywhere\" and \"Ancient Ways\" define their driving rock; and \"My Blue Supreme\" and \"Breaker 1\" typify their chilly ballads. That said, the band also leave a little room for experimentation. \"Same Town New Story\"'s skipping beat nods to Banks' fondness for hip-hop, while its velvety yet tense guitars and keyboards give it a more mysterious, open-ended feel than many songs here. Later on, \"Twice as Hard\" makes a brief return to Interpol's orchestral flirtations, incorporating strings and piano into a massive finale to the band's most consistent album since Antics. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/9\/14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Interpol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884548628561,"sku":"0WJVSM-KTB2-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Interpol-EL-PINTOR_7m1BK.jpg?v=1762464419"},{"product_id":"dirty-projectors-lamp-lit-prose-vinyl","title":"Lamp Lit Prose (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I don't know how I'm gonna be a better man\/I don't know how I'm gonna reach the promised land\/I don't know how I'm gonna get you to take my hand\/But I'm gonna start and I know when.\" With these words in the first track on Dirty Projectors' 2018 release Lamp Lit Prose, David Longstreth (the group's leader and solo constant member) shares the good news: he's feeling better now. On 2017's self-titled Dirty Projectors, Longstreth was reeling from a tough romantic breakup, and a dark mood dominated the material, as well as a greater reliance on electronics and vocal manipulation. The cooler textures and digital sheen of that album certainly informs Lamp Lit Prose, but this time out the music has a much more organic feel, with natural horns, guitars, strings, and percussion dancing within the electronic frameworks. There's a palpable joy in this music that hasn't been so strong in Longstreth's work since 2009's breakthrough Bitte Orca, and while it never turns sappy, Lamp Lit Prose speaks of hope and second chances in the more optimistic tone of the music, reinforced by the percolating rhythms, the breathy harmonies, and the angular enthusiasm of the guitar work. Like Bitte Orca, Lamp Lit Prose is a genuinely adventurous work, not shy about pointing to Dirty Projectors' experimental roots, but the material also sounds bright, playful, and engaging, accessible even when the melodies and meters take unexpected left turns. And while HAIM, Amber Mark, Syd (of the Internet), Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes) and Empress Of all contribute their talents to these songs, this is very much David Longstreth's music, and it's heartfelt, passionate, and beguiling in the tradition of Dirty Projectors' best work. ~ Mark Deming\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dirty Projectors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884550496337,"sku":"9Y7V4K-YN6G-00","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Dirty-Projectors-Lamp-Lit-Prose_c9hAA.jpg?v=1762464428"},{"product_id":"deerhunter-monomania-vinyl","title":"Monomania (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMystery disc of NOCTURNAL GARAGE. rat tapes \/ NEW FORMATis avant garde(?) but only in context not form (original intent of avant garde (1912-59) \/ before logic: FOG MACHINE \/ LEATHER \/ NEONRECORDED VIA MULTIPLE 8TRAX into MCI MIXING DESK by Bradford Cox and Nicolas Vernhes in Brooklyn, Borough of New York JAN-FEB 20135th Longplaying Album from American (GA) Rock Group Deerhunter Resistant to HISTORICAL \/ FUTURIST SNARES (1959 _)THE MUSIC GROUP: formed 2001, AMENDED JAN. 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deerhunter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884550561873,"sku":"T4CI6X-9TJ7-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Deerhunter-Monomania_sey1L.jpg?v=1759468663"},{"product_id":"madvillainy-instrumentals-vinyl","title":"INSTRUMENTALS (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMadvillainy without the raps is still a classic.

Hynes' genre-hopping career has been nothing if not an exploration of identity. So if Hynes' time with Test Icicles represents early teenage angst, and Lightspeed Champion is the melancholic bewilderment of the early twenties, then surely Blood Orange is the assured, almost full-blown, adult? Not quite. Although the quest for personal discovery never truly ends, there comes a time when we stop looking inward and begin to question our place in the wider picture, fraught with injustice, prejudice, and peers who are just as lost. The struggle with identity and its interaction with the world is perfectly captured within the 17 tracks of Freetown Sound; often confusing, with multiple overlapping thoughts, the album charts a parallel course through Hynes' personal reflections on race and gender, and his impetus to call out the obstacles shared by all those who consider themselves outsiders.\u003cbr\u003eHynes' reflection is far-reaching, going all the way back to the capital of Sierra Leone's complex history -- where his father was born -- for its thematic roots. The complex tapestry is woven from the present, though, \"Augustine\" being a fine example of this as Hynes discusses his parents, his current situation, and the effect that Christianity has had on all of their lives. He quotes Saint Augustine, references Trayvon Martin, and even sings in Krio toward the end; that's all achieved in less than five minutes. Considering that the album clocks in at around an hour, it's easy to imagine the overall density. There are so many ideas, guest appearances, and samples that Hynes transcends the concept of a personal record; Freetown Sound is the closest you'll get to being Devont? Hynes' mind, body, and soul. Such a complex experience makes the first listen challenging; the first half of the album swims past in a woozy, yet harmonious, deluge of expressions, thoughts, and feelings. Initially, latching onto something concrete proves difficult, but around halfway the picture becomes a little more focused. \"Hands Up\" and \"Hadron Collider\" mark the change; the latter track, with its standout guest vocal from Nelly Furtado, shines in particular.\u003cbr\u003eThere are so many collaborators here, but none really stand out like Samantha Urbani or Skepta did on Cupid Deluxe. They instead seem to represent the circle of influence and influencers present in Hynes' life; there's always been an argument that identity is a reflection of the company you keep. The number of guests present, whether with full vocals or just short clips, only goes to show how far Hynes has expanded his sphere in the last three years. The record is so personal that the only one able to understand every layer is Hynes himself. As a result, Freetown Sound can come across as weighty, indecipherable chaos to some. But for anyone who can relate to him on some level, it's hard not to be in awe of a man as complicated as Devont? Hynes being able to compose such an insightful, personal experience. ~ Liam Martin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blood Orange","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884566257745,"sku":"OE4MFI-FX0Z-00","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Blood-Orange-FREETOWN-SOUND_QOW1H.jpg?v=1762464462"},{"product_id":"cat-power-jukebox-vinyl","title":"JUKEBOX (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter establishing herself on the 2007 Matador-released album THE GREATEST as the indie world's answer to Norah Jones, Cat Power's Chan Marshall returned to the format of 2000's THE COVERS ALBUM for JUKEBOX, tackling tracks made famous by Hank Williams (\"Ramblin' (Wo)man\"), Bob Dylan (\"I Believe in You\"), James Brown (\"Lost Someone\"), and Frank Sinatra (\"New York\"), among many others.

This deluxe backing gives Herring more cushion to surround his vocal exhortations and desperate pleading and gives the hooky, emotionally powerful songs a widescreen feel. While there aren't any obvious classic songs like \"Seasons\" here, the record does feature another bravura performance from Herring and comes close to repeating the alchemy they effortlessly achieved on Singles. ~ Tim Sendra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP standard Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Future Islands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884566552657,"sku":"RM883Z-V9FY-00","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Future-Islands-FAR-FIELD_ntbf2.jpg?v=1762464469"},{"product_id":"dead-can-dance-dead-can-dance-vinyl","title":"DEAD CAN DANCE (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the evidence of this, the band's first record, Dead Can Dance can clearly be seen as a \"Goth\" group in the vein of Bauhaus, et al.

On his fourth album, Ellison not only peels away layers from his sound but organizes his tracks into a gracefully flowing sequence. The producer once again draws from numerous instrumentalists and vocalists, from Brainfeeder associates Stephen \"Thundercat\" Bruner and Austin Peralta to the likes of Erykah Badu and Thom Yorke. Bruner has the most presence. His tremulous basslines are on nine of the album's 18 tracks, and his spaced-out, quasi-oracular vocals poke through on occasion, such as on an 80-second track that is titled after a natural psychedelic compound and references the title of Ellison's 2010 EP. True to Flying Lotus form, Bruner's voice, as well as those of everyone else, is made to sound phantasmal rather than spotlit. While much of the material on Ellison's previous three albums came across like brief and isolated ideas with an impact unaffected by the shuffle function, the shorter pieces here act more like true connectors or proper set-ups\/interludes. The 12 minutes from \"See Thru to U\" through \"Only if You Wanna\" make for the album's least divisible section. It begins with lithe and slightly unsettling pattering and closes with a futuristic, organic-synthetic jazz trio piece. Somewhere in the middle, there's \"The Nightcaller,\" the closest the album gets to dancefloor funk like Cosmogramma's \"Do the Astral Plane\" -- that is, until the last minute, when the gliding\/chugging beat stammers and switches to a delirious strut. For all the elegiac and turbulent moments, several tracks, including the majestically wistful \"Getting There\" and the cascading \"Until the Colours Come,\" are gorgeously starry and even lullaby-like, laced with ear-perking flourishes. And then there's the alien critter voice on \"Putty Boy Strut,\" and the bizarrely bleak and comical \"Electric Candyman,\" featuring Yorke, which arouses some serious cognitive dissonance by provoking thoughts of Tony Todd and Beyonc? (\"Say my name, say my name, say my name\"). Ellison's trademarks -- skittering and rustling percussion atop slightly irregular drums that knock and thud, for instance -- factor almost as much as ever, but his slight adjustments and increased restraint make this his most accessible and creative release yet. ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2xLP widespine sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flying Lotus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884571304017,"sku":"7UDHRJ-4B6I-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Flying-Lotus-UNTIL-THE-QUIET-COMES_ksVHW.jpg?v=1759468677"},{"product_id":"porches-pool-vinyl","title":"POOL (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile indie singer\/songwriter Aaron Maine has released music under multiple pseudonyms, including a Ronald Paris debut in 2014, Porches stands as the most active and successful alias of the style-shifting Manhattan musician to date. Rarely stagnant in the past, the moniker's sophomore full-length, Pool, marks a distinct palette shift from the electronics-enhanced, twangy guitar- and acoustic drums-centered sound of its 2013 debut to full-on indie electronic. However, calling it a reinvention would be an overstatement, as Maine's characteristically brooding tone and emotively direct vocal and songwriting manner brand the results distinctly his. He continues to mingle styles here as on prior releases as well, now with new wave, contemporary R\u0026amp;B, house, and weighty singer\/songwriter all in play; the bulk of the album's tunes effectively mix the latter two. The gloomy, melodically rangy \"Be Apart\" serves as a fine representative, with intimacy reaching through steady beats and thick keyboard tones as Maine thematically assesses \"I want to be apart\/I want to be a part of it all.\" Likewise seemingly incongruous, the haunting, baying \"Hour\" (\"All I want is an apple inside my gray skies\") features tinny, pulsing beats and airy backing vocals by Frankie Cosmos, who appears throughout the album alongside Maine's weary falsetto. Smooth R\u0026amp;B and Auto-Tune creep onto tunes like the sulky \"Security,\" while new wave arrives via \"Car,\" and the sparse, eventually trancy title track combines these and more. Occasional surprises, like the Auto-Tune and an unexpectedly warm, expressive saxophone solo in \"Shaver,\" also provide stimulation through the record's spacy journey. Throughout, Pool manages to mix the distinctly human with the relentlessly mechanical in a way that conveys longing and isolation beyond just melancholic lyricism. Written and recorded almost entirely in Maine's Manhattan apartment, the album was mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, !!!) and should play equally well in bedroom headphones and basement nightclubs, and leave many anticipating album three. ~ Marcy Donelson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Porches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884572319825,"sku":"UB60MZ-CEHR-00","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Porches-POOL_zls6M.jpg?v=1762464487"},{"product_id":"flying-lotus-cosmogramma-vinyl","title":"COSMOGRAMMA (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor 26-year-old Steve Ellison's deservedly hyped third album, Flying Lotus loosened the reins and set out to make Cosmogramma, which his label, Warp, promoted as a space opera of sorts. More of a long-playing, cohesive listen than the prior year's excellent Los Angeles, which felt like a collection of insular, Dilla-inspired beats, Flying Lotus evolved into a forerunner of his own personal genre. On this, his most far-out release to date, he incorporates a thicker amount of live instrumentation (horns, strings, bass, guitar, and even harp) with his laptop manipulations, and branches away from hip-hop. Call it futuristic fusion, if you will, but the result is much more ahead of the curve than, say, Herbie Hancock's Future 2 Future (though it shares some similarities) and more on par with a Jaga Jazzist or a Four Tet release. That is, it's left of center. Free jazz plays a huge part, and Flylo draws deeply from his Coltrane lineage, but he also dips into past-prime electronic and dance styles. Techno, house, and drum'n'bass all take shape alongside IDM blips, dubstep, and disco strings or blaxploitation soundtrack orchestration, courtesy of OutKast and Erykah Badu arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. As a mass of shape-shifting layers, the album mutates constantly throughout the tracks, in a dense soundscape that sometimes feels palpable and at other times becomes liquid, rife with bottomless possibilities. Cosmogramma is an instrumental genre-jumping journey for head-bopping intellectuals, and the meditative melodies by vocalists Thundercat, Laura Darlington, and Thom Yorke only add to the experience. ~ Jason Lymangrover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2xLP Gatefold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flying Lotus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884572942417,"sku":"TK8X0N-DZ9K-00","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Flying-Lotus-COSMOGRAMMA_wgaPD.jpg?v=1762464490"},{"product_id":"mia-maya-2-lps-vinyl","title":"Maya (2 Lp's) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\/\\\/\\\/\\Y\/\\, it was an album that signaled a major break from a previous aesthetic and a push toward something quite different  Stereogum\u003cbr\u003e\/\\\/\\\/\\Y\/\\, its infectious, jittery electro drifts in unnerving directions (digital surveillance lurks at every turn).

Initially emerging out of Tulsa's punk and hardcore scene, Moreland shifted toward alt-country in the mid-2000s and made his name backed first by the Black Gold Band then by his second group, the Dust Bowl Souls, before eventually going solo. He's bounced around with a couple of labels and landed a handful of songs on FX's Sons of Anarchy, but Big Bad Luv marks his debut for revered U.K. alternative label 4AD. With his amiable heartland feel and Springsteen-ian tone, Moreland is a bit of an odd match with the label better known for records by Cocteau Twins and Pixies, but perhaps a change of perspective will bring new fans to his honest American songcraft. Recorded in Little Rock, Arkansas and backed by a band of long-tenured Tulsa players, Moreland produced Big Bad Luv himself before sending it off to studio veteran Tchad Blake (Robert Plant, the Black Keys) to mix. From the crackling barroom energy of \"Sallisaw Blues\" to more subdued fare like the fingerpicked \"No Glory in Regret,\" he warmly delivers tales of love, sorrow, redemption in the no-frills style he's become known for.

The album pointed to any number of directions Protomartyr could go in the future, and though 2018's Consolation is a stopgap four-song EP and not the group's next major statement, it still shows this band going from strength to strength and eager to experiment. The group recorded two of the songs with Kelley Deal guesting, and her vocals add to the dramatic force of the stunning \"Wheel of Fortune,\" a litany of abuse of power that's full of articulate rage. \"You Always Win\" isn't quite as impressive, but the coda, with strings and reeds adding an edge of free jazz to the music, fits well. The other two tracks are simpler and more straightforward, but they both show that Protomartyr's mastery of their unique style is complete, and \"Same Face in a Different Mirror\" is that rare number from this band that expresses something approaching hope. Joe Casey's volleys of thought remain forceful, artful, and dauntingly intelligent, while Greg Ahee's guitar is gnarly and thoughtful at once, and bassist Scott Davidson and drummer Alex Leonard confirm that muscle and nuance are not mutually exclusive. There are not a lot of bands who do what Protomartyr does, and even if there were, the skill and fury of their music would still set them apart, and Consolation is a brief but potent reminder that they're a force to be reckoned with. ~ Mark Deming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Protomartyr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884583919697,"sku":"CZ5LVX-JC48-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Protomartyr-Consolation-EP_HjGRO.jpg?v=1762464505"},{"product_id":"animal-collective-hollinndagain-vinyl","title":"Hollinndagain (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003cbr\u003eVinyl LP pressing.

Two songs (\"My Heart Hurts\" and \"Too Many Teardrops\") were penned with his then-wife Carlene Carter, who also contributes backup vocals. \"Queen Of Sheba\" is pure Lowe, as he sings, \"You ain't no Queen of Sheba\" and then names the song after her. \"Couldn't Love You (Any More Than I Do)\" finds him again drawing inspiration from The Everly Brothers (he and Edmunds did an EP of their songs a couple years prior).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP w\/ bonus 45 \u0026amp; includes download code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nick Lowe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884600533073,"sku":"JULLBZ-XDR0-00","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Nick-Lowe-NICK-THE-KNIFE_EzXwt.jpg?v=1759468692"},{"product_id":"cat-power-wanderer-vinyl","title":"Wanderer (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCat Power's Chan Marshall releases albums so infrequently that when they arrive, they're an event -- and the six years between Sun and Wanderer were certainly eventful for her. The day Sun was released, Marshall nearly died; eventually, she was diagnosed with an immune disorder that hindered her ability to tour in support of the album. She then discovered she was pregnant with the son she gave birth to in 2015, and creative differences with her longtime label Matador led her to release Wanderer on Domino Records. These are the kind of life-changing events that, with any luck, make a person stronger. If Wanderer is anything to go by, Marshall must be unstoppable. She packs the enormity of her experiences into songs that are fearless in their starkness, and a far cry from Sun's sleek electro-rock. This time, Marshall focuses her production and arrangements on her voice, which has become the instrument her songs have always needed. A little raspier than before and as remarkably emotive as always, it's so full of living that no flashy accompaniment is needed on songs such as the title track. One of the album's briefest and most beautiful moments, \"Wanderer's\" heart-melting harmonies grace a song that could be an eternal lament handed down for generations. Throughout the album, Marshall feels completely in command of the folk, blues, and soul that have lurked around the margins of her music since the beginning and made up the heart of The Greatest. Even as she says goodbye on almost every track, from \"Me Voy\"'s sultry regret to the serenely devastating \"Horizon,\" Wanderer returns to sounds that are in her blood. She subtly modernizes these traditions while tapping into their timeless power: \"Black\" is another in her series of songs about friends who have died, and the way Marshall contrasts folk- and blues-based mythologizing with a very modern streak of survivor's guilt makes it one of her most spellbinding. \"Robbin Hood,\" with its vicious cycle of literal and spiritual theft, could have been written in the shadow of the Great Depression or the Great Recession. Conversely, Marshall also incorporates 2010s touches in ways that sound classic and, above all, genuine. On \"Woman,\" she and Lana Del Rey bid a liberating goodbye to others' expectations, their voices combining in an evocation of the spirit of womanhood (although Marshall's confession \"The doctor said I was not my past\/He said I was finally free\" is utterly, poignantly personal). Similarly, she hones Rihanna's \"Stay\" -- already an unusually naked and free-flowing pop ballad -- to its most soul-baring parts, and its spine-tingling beauty is another testament to the strength it takes to be so vulnerable. As tender as it is uncompromising, Wanderer is exactly the album Marshall needed to make at this point in her career and life. It's some of her most essential music, in both senses of the word. ~ Heather Phares\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cat Power","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41884601024593,"sku":"FT6U64-I116-00","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Cat-Power-Wanderer_phE9Z.jpg?v=1759468692"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/collections\/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-sweat-and-vanilla-perfume-portofino-orange-glitter-vinyl_aC3JX.jpg?v=1760821785","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/collections\/pop.oembed?page=15","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
