�New Blue Sun is the continuation of discovery for me. My entire career has been fueled by this and it is the only thing that keeps me honest. This album is the most honest and interesting offering I can give today. I never could have imagined in high school, when I started rapping and doing music that I would be here right now playing wind instruments. Ha. This life ride always surprises me. I�m here for it.� � Andre 3000

This limited edition 3-LP vinyl is pressed on 180g black vinyl with fold out poster, printed inner sleeves and note from the artist.

There�s a double meaning to the title of What Now, the revelatory new album from Brittany Howard. �With the world we�re living in now, it feels like we�re all just trying to hang onto our souls,� says the Nashville-based musician and frontwoman for four-time Grammy Award-winning Alabama Shakes. �Everything seems to be getting more extreme and everyone keeps wondering, �What now? What�s next?� By the same coin, the only constant on this record is you never know what�s going to happen next...�

"On RAT WARS, HEALTH, are not only making the heaviest, most genre-obliterating music of their career, they�re documenting just how insane it feels to be alive right now. It�s The Downward Spiral for people with at least two monitors and a vitamin D deficiency. �RAT WARS� is a definitive statement on the insanity and the insipidness of contemporary life. "

Nicki Minaj releases her new album Pink Friday 2 on December 8, 2023. Electric Blue LP.

Sleater-Kinney returns with Little Rope, one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band�s 30-year career. On the surface, Little Rope's ten songs veer from spare to anthemic, catchy to deliberately hard-turning. But beneath that are perhaps the most complex and subtle arrangements of any Sleater-Kinney record, and a lyrical and emotional compass pointed firmly in the direction of something both liberating and terrifying: the sense that only way to gain control is to let it go.

Legendary indie-rock band Grandaddy has announced a brand new studio album Blu Wav set for release February 16, 2024 via Dangerbird Records. A prolific storyteller, Jason Lytle is inspired by the overwhelming beauty of nature to the mundane moments that spark life�s strongest memories. Introducing pedal steel into the band�s repertoire for the first time, buoyant lead single �Watercooler� comments on the dichotomy of both. It was inspired by having his own outdoorsy rock guy (in both senses of the word) lifestyle while his partner had an office job. Lytle shares, �Most of my relationships have involved girls who worked in office settings. This song is about the end of one, or perhaps a few, of those relationships. Listeners will also notice the pedal steel on this track and eventually on many others from the forthcoming new album. It�s a first for Grandaddy, and I couldn't be more thrilled about this fact.� With the album title Blu Wav meant to be a literal mash-up of �bluegrass� and �new wave�, the new collection has a distinct feel, a uniform vibe, and a somewhat unexpected sound. It was conceived as Grandaddy maestro Jason Lytle was driving through the Nevada desert, and Patti Page�s "Tennessee Waltz" came across the classic country station on the radio. He was immediately intrigued by the possibilities of what it might sound like to keep the slow sway and sweet, simple lyrics of the bluegrass waltz while adding layers of dense synthesizers and the electronics of new wave. It incorporates the lo-fi lushness and sometimes-psychedelic orchestration Grandaddy is known for with Lytle�s first foray into true country. Seven of its 13 songs are waltzes, and as Lytle notes, �there�s an inordinate amount of pedal steel.� Grandaddy recently celebrated their legacy with a series of 20th anniversary reissues including the acclaimed Sumday Twunny box set which earned a Pitchfork �Best New Reissue�. Lytle also contributed vocals to a posthumous Sparklehorse album by request of his friend and fellow psychedelic pop auteur Mark Linkous� family. Grandaddy has released five official LPs, most recently 2017�s Last Place. Grandaddy members include Jason Lytle, Aaron Burtch, Jim Fairchild, Tim Dryden, and the late Kevin Garcia, who passed away in 2017.

Green Day is not your savior.�
�
But the spirit of rock n roll might be. And as the greatest punk band alive, they�re the loudest vessel we have� to give it a shot.
�
Green Day are ready to flip off the famous, stupid and contagious, by putting a mirror to the present tense like only they can, with Saviors � an inspired new studio album to be released in early 2024.�
�
Amazingly, Saviors represents Green Day's 14th studio album, yet somehow this enduring power trio -- Billie Joe Armstrong, Tr� Cool & Mike Dirnt -- remain devoted to their defiant craft that has fueled their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre, and landed 3 East Bay punks in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
�
The album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles under the audacious ear and Rock prowess of Green Day's longtime friend & collaborator, GRAMMY� Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo.�

More than 20 years in the making, this December finally sees the release of i/o, Peter Gabriel�s first album of new material since 2002�s Up. During 2023, Peter has been releasing a new song from the album on the occasion of every full moon. Being revealed roughly every four weeks, each track has been allowed to find its own time and space, to enjoy its own orbit. �It�s a little like getting a Lego piece each month,� Peter explains. Now it�s time to stand back and admire the final, completed creation. And what a creation � 12 tracks of grace, gravity and great beauty that provide welcome confirmation of not only Peter�s ongoing ability to write stop-you-in-your-tracks songs but also of that thrilling voice, still perfectly, delightfully intact. Throughout the album the intelligent and thoughtful � often thought-provoking � songs tackle life and the universe. Our connection to the world around us � �I�m just a part of everything� Peter sings on title track i/o � is a recurring motif, but so too the passing of time, mortality and grief, alongside such themes as injustice, surveillance and the roots of terrorism. But this is not a solemn record. While reflective, the mood is never despondent; i/o is musically adventurous, often joyous and ultimately full of hope, topped off as it is, by the rousingly optimistic closing song, Live and Let Live.� Always looking to push the boundaries, i/o is not simply a collection of a dozen songs. All 12 tracks are subject to two stereo mixes: the Bright-Side Mix, handled by Mark �Spike� Stent, and the Dark-Side Mix, as reshaped by Tchad Blake. �We have two of the greatest mixers in the world in Tchad and Spike and they definitely bring different characters to the songs. Tchad is very much a sculptor building a journey with sound and drama, Spike loves sound and assembling these pictures, so he�s more of a painter.� Peter has also invited a range of visual artists to contribute a piece of art to accompany each track. The dozen artists make an exceedingly impressive team of collaborators: Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Olafur Eliasson, Henry Hudson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, David Moreno, Cornelia Parker, Megan Rooney, Tim Shaw, David Spriggs and Barth�l�my Toguo. Having handpicked the artists, Peter recognises that �They have the same obsessive attention to their visual work that we musicians have in sound.�

Now officially available on vinyl for the first time ever. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.

Mannequin Pussy�s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins �Bear� Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. �There�s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,� says Dabice. �The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.�

Their new album, I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band�s most fully realized recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It�s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.

Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band�s official lineup. The band changed their entire creative formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton , over slowly crafting tracks at home. �Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,� says Regisford.

TANGK is, at its core, a love album. Open to anyone who requires something to shout out loud in order to fend off any encroaching sense of the void, now or forever. TANGK is a bona fide pop record in a way we�ve never heard from IDLES before, that is, something for everyone to pass around and share, communal anthems intended for overcoming our grievances. The word - pronounced �tank� with a whiff of the �g� - began as an onomatopoeic reference in-studio for the sound of a guitar tone, but has grown into a sigil for living in love. Joe sings on TANGK in a way we�ve never heard before, completing his transformation from post-punk firebrand into soul singing evangelist. TANGK was co-produced by Nigel Godrich, Kenny Beats, and IDLES guitarist Mark Bowen.

Restless Thoughts, the full-length debut from Zooey Celeste was produced in Brooklyn by Nick Hakim. Centered on Zooey�s hypnotic baritone vocals, set against a backdrop of sparse drum-machine beats and droney guitar tones the album drifts between avant-punk, chamber-pop and lo-fi psychedelia, drawing the listener into a sustained dream state. Colombian-Canadian singer/songwriter Tei Shi (aka Valerie Teicher Barbosa) joins Zooey on "Big Trouble" for a sublime piece of surrealist dance-pop.
