Neon Pill is the highly anticipated new album from Cage The Elephant, and group’s first new music since their album, Social Cues, which won Best Rock album at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards.
Cage The Elephant consists of brothers Matt Shultz (vocals) and Brad Shultz (rhythm guitar) along with Daniel Tichenor (bass), Jared Champion (drums), Nick Bockrath (lead guitar) and Matthan Minster (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals).
GRAMMY award-winning, multi-platinum rock band Kings of Leon are coming back big with their 9th full-length studio album, Can We Please Have Fun. As the title suggests, it’s a document of one of this era’s great rock n’ roll bands cutting loose, trying new things, and, yes, having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse studio and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine) the album sees a new side of Kings of Leon. On the new album, the band harkens back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears. It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations, and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make. Indie Exclusive Apple LP. Limited Edition.
With the release of Cigarettes After Sex’s third album, X’s, the band finally takes center stage as not just one of today’s preeminent indie bands, but as one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre. Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slow burn pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. Indie Exclusive Crystal Clear LP. Limited Edition.
St. Vincent’s first self-produced record, All Born Screaming is Annie Clark at her most unfiltered. All Born Screaming is an invitation to test the limits of what is possible–and to then keep going; Brought to life with the aid of a highly curated dream lineup of friends — Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Mark Guiliana, Cate Le Bon, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Stella Mogzawa and David Ralicke — the album is an unadulterated expression of St. Vincent’s singular vision.
The Avett Brothers return with their first album in five years. Produced by longtime collaborator, friend and early champion Rick Rubin, The Avett Brothers is as much untitled as it is self-titled, for as Thomas Keating said: “Silence is God’s first language – everything else is a poor translation.”
From the album’s all-vocal opening to the sharp, scrappy and scorching rock n roll blast of lead single “Love Of A Girl,” to the novel strains of folk, roots, synth and strings that have landed The Avett Brothers numerous Billboard Top 5 and chart-topping albums, three GRAMMY nominations, five Americana Music Awards, a documentary co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, and so much more, this record is one that revealed itself naturally over time.
Recorded in Malibu’s Shangri-La Studios, as well as Nashville, Mar Vista, and the band’s hometown of Concord, NC, The Avett Brothers is a collection of songs seen through a lens of independently studied spirituality; questions and considerations in the interest of the divine unknowable. In an ongoing attempt to comprehend existence and our interpersonal connectedness, these songs seek the sacred in the commonplace: a cheap cup of coffee, the smallest movement of love, broken hearts and school bus lessons, a baby’s first and second steps, growing older and holding on to one’s roots, losing someone and accepting fate, rediscovering hope and finding sanctity in tragedy...ultimately reveling in the fun and surrender of what we cannot understand.
As their first full length release on Ramseur Records/Thirty Tigers since 2007’s Emotionalism, The Avett Brothers is both a cumulative opus and fresh start for the band’s future as a multifaceted and singular force.
As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again [Indie Exclusive Opaque Fruit Punch LP]
ON SALE $37.97 Vinyl: $34.17 Buy
For over 20 years, The Decemberists have been one of the most original, daring, and thrilling American rock bands. Their distinctive brand of hyperliterate folk-rock set them apart from the start, releasing nine full-length albums that are unbound by genre and highly ambitious. Now the beloved indie band is back with their first new album in six years, As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again - not only the longest Decemberists album to date (and their first intentional, proper double-LP) but also their most empathetic and accessible, its 13 songs like semaphores of mutual recognition for our fraught times and faint hope. The first dozen songs are punchy, pithy gems all, reflections on mortality and loneliness, longing and cynicism, expectation and unease. The band animates them brilliantly, pushing out and pulling in at the perfect moments. John Moen practically dances beneath the jangle of opener “Burial Ground,” breathing the life into this song about spiraling toward the end. From the irrepressible “Oh No!" and guileless tenderness and absolute surrender of “All I Want Is You,” to the romantic ghost story that shimmers behind pedal steel in spite of the specter in "Long White Veil," these 12 songs alone would constitute a dazzling Decemberists album, rich with woe and love, anxiety and honesty. But a keening little choir and arid electric guitar invoke “Joan in the Garden,” the band’s first full-on prog escapade since The Crane Wife. Though rooted in doubt, much like the album it ends, “Joan in the Garden” ultimately lands as a celebration of music’s ability to convey valence and ambiguity, to frame an endlessly complicated story in instantly compelling terms.
This, songwriter Colin Meloy will tell you proudly, is the best Decemberists albums and perhaps the ultimate realization of 22 years of work. In many ways, As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again feels like an aptly titled renewal for The Decemberists. The first full-length release on YABB Records, the band’s own label, after a run of nearly two decades with Capitol. As they were once, here are the Decemberists again, now an independent band empowered by singing stories that sound instantly familiar and convey some bit of hard-won wisdom.
With $10 Cowboy, Charley Crockett didn’t set out to make a themed record. He had released a concept album in 2022, the critically acclaimed Man From Waco, propelling Crockett to new heights and establishing him as one of the leaders of a sparkling revival of traditional country and folk music.
For the follow up album, Crockett wrote freely, over a two-month period, as he wound his way across the United States on the back of a tour bus. The resulting songs—raw, personal, vivid portraits of a country in transition—ended up being connected after all.
“This material is written at truck stops, it’s written at casinos, it’s written in the alleys behind the venues, it’s written in my truck parked up on South Congress in Austin,” explains Crockett. “A ramblin’ man like me, a genuine transient, is in a pretty damn good position to have something to say about America.”
As the album unfolds, you begin to understand that a $10 Cowboy is anyone who has hustled to get by, who didn’t fit in, who has slept on other people’s couches, or the street, who has fallen down, gotten up, and ventured from home chasing a paying gig, or a new start.
“Being out on the road gives you a first-hand experience of how different kinds of Americans see themselves as going through some kind of great struggle,” Crockett says. “The roughneck working the oil and natural gas fields in West Texas. The single mother raising kids by herself. The young man working a street corner because he thinks it's his only option. I would be dishonest if I said I couldn’t see the thread. Each of ‘em feel invisible. I am struck by the battles they are fighting internally, and the ways they have been entrapped by what America says they are.”
The album was recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, produced by Crockett and his long-time collaborator Billy Horton. It was recorded live to tape, with anywhere from 6-12 musicians and backup singers on each track, giving the songs the feel of a live performance. It’s a sound Crockett has been after for years. “Reason I cut it on tape is because when you got the right people in the room, and the great players rise to the occasion when that red light is on and the tape is rolling, you get the magic of a great performance.”
It's exactly what he achieved with $10 Cowboy. Regular bandmates Fox, Nathan Fleming, and Mayo Valdez are joined by some of the genre’s most talented players—Rich Brotherton, Kevin Smith, Dave LeRoy Biller, T. Jarrod Bonta and others, including a string quartet. Lauren Cervantes and Angela Miller sing on the album. While the musicianship and accompaniment are exquisite, they are also subtle, placed joyously, yet judiciously across the album.
No, Crockett didn’t set out to write a themed record. Or, through his studied eye, to find America. But with $10 Cowboy, he might have done both.
Billie Eilish’s third studio album, "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT", released via Darkroom/Interscope Records is her most daring body of work to date, a diverse yet cohesive collection of songs— ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end—does exactly as the album title suggests; hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way. With the help of her brother and sole collaborator, FINNEAS, the pair wrote, recorded, and produced the album together in their hometown of Los Angeles. This album comes on the heels of her two massively successful albums “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO?" and "Happier Than Ever" and works to further develop the world of Billie Eilish.
Composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey continues her story with Bewitched: The Goddess Edition, an expanded version of her 2023 critically celebrated and GRAMMY-winning second album. Since the release of Bewitched, Laufey has proven how staying true to oneself can result in creating a space where people can find themselves. Bewitched has been wildly successful around the world, appearing on multiple year-end best-of lists, sparking an immediately sold-out tour and reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Jazz charts. The Goddess Edition features four brand-new original songs including lead single "Goddess" and will be available on vinyl, cassette, and CD. The expanded package includes dark blue vinyl, an updated booklet, and a custom board game.
I Love You So F***king Much is the fourth studio album from human musical group sensations Glass Animals, released on Republic Records on July 19.

Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records
Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley had already been building a formidable Blue Note catalog for more than a decade when he conceived of his unique album A Slice of the Top, which was recorded in 1966 but not first released until 1979 as part of the LT Series. Inspired by Miles Davis’ Birth of the Cool, Mobley collaborated with Duke Pearson who arranged four Mobley originals and the pop standard “There’s a Lull In My Life” for an octet that added Kiane Zawadi’s euphonium and Howard Johnson’s tuba to a group consisting of James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Behold Mobley’s lyrical flights on standout tunes including “Hank’s Other Bag,” “A Touch of Blue,” and “A Slice of the Top.”
Freddie Roach - Good Move LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records
In the 1960s, Blue Note’s roster of organists was second to none with leading Hammond B3 practitioners like Jimmy Smith, Big John Patton, and Larry Young each honing their own distinctive styles on the instrument. Freddie Roach was first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebec’s albums Heavy Soul and It Might As Well Be Spring and soon began his own run of leader dates for the label including the 1963 standout Good Move featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Eddie Wright on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums. This soul jazz classic makes all the right moves with set highlights including “When Malindy Sings,” an Oscar Brown song that was performed by Abbey Lincoln, and Roach’s own church-rooted “Wine, Wine, Wine” and “On Our Way Up,” an uplifting anthem that he wrote on the day of the historic March on Washington.

The Beatles - 1964 US Albums (In Mono) - Capitol
1964 was the year that the U.S. first fell head-over-heels for The Beatles, with an unprecedented run of albums and singles topping the charts and going on to sell millions of copies. But these albums are not simply replicas of the 1963 and 1964 albums released by Parlophone in the U.K. and rest of world. Seeing a different opportunity, Capitol Records and United Artists compiled these albums for U.S. release between January 1964 and March 1965.
To celebrate the momentous year when Beatlemania exploded across the U.S., seven Beatles albums are collected for a spectacular new 8-LP vinyl box set. Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2-LP); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles all feature faithfully replicated artwork and new four-panel inserts with essays written by American Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer. The albums’ new vinyl lacquers were cut by Kevin Reeves at Nashville’s East Iris Studios with constant reference to the original vinyl first pressings to ensure they are faithful to the original release, while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. 180-gram audiophile pressing.

New Release Round-Up 11-15-24
George Harrison - Living in the Material World (50th Anniversary) - Dark Horse Records
Living in the Material World, George Harrison’s highly praised 2nd solo album of original music following The Beatles’ 1970 dissolution, recently marked its 50th anniversary. With lyrics underscoring his enduring exploration of spiritual themes, the album resonated deeply with audiences. Just 5 weeks after its May 1973 release, both the LP and its single ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)’ held the top spots simultaneously on the US album and single charts. Upon release, Rolling Stone described it as a "pop classic", a work that "stands alone as an article of faith, miraculous in its radiance." Lovingly overseen by Dhani and Olivia Harrison, Living in the Material World has now been completely remixed from the original tapes for a stunning suite of 50th anniversary releases. Remixed by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks, the new mix elevates the album with a sonic upgrade, delivering a sound that’s brighter, richer, and more dynamic than ever before.
Linkin Park - From Zero - Warner Records
Before Linkin Park, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life. It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.
Cyn - Valley Girl - Unsub Records
‘Valley Girl’ is the debut album from Cyn, the singer songwriter discovered and signed by superstar Katy Perry to her Unsub Records label. Valley Girl features the U.S top 40 radio hit, ‘Drinks’, as well as 11 new tracks of witty, clever and emotional pop perfection.
Michael Kiwanuka - Small Changes - Geffen
“Small Changes” is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Michael’s eponymous third LP, the Mercury Prize winning and Grammy Award nominated “KIWANUKA”. “Small Changes” was produced alongside Danger Mouse and Inflo, the team behind the globally acclaimed “KIWANUKA” and its equally acclaimed predecessor, “Love & Hate,” and reaffirms his status as one of the defining singer-songwriters of his generation.
Stevie Wonder - The Definitive Collection - Motown Records
Stevie Wonder’s The Definitive Collection is now available on vinyl for the first time. This best-selling, 21-track hits compilation features classic after classic. From early gems, including “Fingertips, Pt. 2,” to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours),” as well as the timeless No. 1 songs, “Superstition,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “I Wish,” “Overjoyed,” and many more. 2 LP set on standard black vinyl, featuring rare photos, Braille embossing, full track credits and a celebratory essay.
Jon Batiste - Beethoven Blues - Verve
Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. 5x Grammy and Oscar-winner Jon Batiste returns with a pure piano album, Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1). Reimagining the transcendent works of Ludwig van Beethoven, alongside original compositions inspired by Batiste's youth competing in local piano competitions and gigging in the heart of New Orleans, the album extends timeless classics across the genre spectrum. It is a way of paying homage to Beethoven's artistry and bringing it into a singular moment, in true creative partnership with Batiste's artistic work and journey.
Dwight Yoakam - Brighter Days - Via Records
"Brighter days are up ahead," declares Dwight Yoakam on the title track of his new album Brighter Days (Via Records/Thirty Tigers), his first release of new original material in nine years. Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as two seemingly disparate covers of “Keep On The Sunny Side” by the Carter Family and “Bound Away” by Cake, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam. The infectious lead single “I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom),” was written by Yoakam specifically for a collaboration with self-proclaimed Dwight Yoakam superfan, Post Malone. At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, blending a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock and roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Dwight Yoakam “cool” that has separated the two-time Grammy winner from his country contemporaries since the start of his legendary career. As usual, Yoakam’s lyrics throughout the album are both deceivingly effortless and poignant. Brighter Days was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge and is slated for release Nov 15, 2024.

Now Hear This! - November 2024
Phantogram
Sink Memory Of A Day
Neon GoldBuy Now Known for their genre-defying sound, Phantogram once again push boundaries with a mesmerizing blend of dark psychedelia, electronic pop and hard-hitting beats, exploring themes of nostalgia and memories. Featuring the hypnotic lead singles "Come Alive" and "All A Mystery," co-produced by Grammy-winner John Hill. The Armoires
Octoberland
Big Stir RecordsBuy Now A kaleidoscopic pop adventure is maybe the most apt way to describe Octoberland – every song a twist of that colorful cylinder and each sharing a whole new aspect to The Armoires’ rich palette of songwriting and virulence. It’s bold, diverse and bewitching; the kind of release the sun and joy of life come out for. Jon Batiste
Beethoven Blues
VerveBuy Now Reimagining the transcendent works of Beethoven, alongside original compositions inspired by Batiste's youth in the heart of New Orleans, the album extends timeless classics across the genre spectrum. It’s a way of paying homage to Beethoven's artistry, bringing it into a singular moment, in true creative partnership with Batiste's artistic work and journey. Caroline Shaw
Leonardo da Vinci (Original Score)
NonesuchBuy Now The original score for Ken Burns’ new documentary adds crucial connective tissue to areas where the record of Leonardo’s life is thin and it’s possible to briefly lose his trail. Shaw’s music—joyful, daring, at times transcendent, and wholly unique—seems to speak directly to Leonardo, a seeking soul who, 500 years after his death, can come across as strikingly modern. St. Vincent
Todos Nacen Gritando
St. VincentBuy Now With Todos Nacen Gritando, St. Vincent delivers a fully Spanish language version of her self-produced album. Inspired by passionate singalongs at her shows in Mexico, Spain, and South America, Todos Nacen Gritando answers the question: If they can sing along in a 2nd or 3rd language, why can’t I meet them halfway? Halsey
The Great Impersonator
ColumbiaBuy Now Halsey’s The Great Impersonator reimagines her career throughout the decades, displaying a conceptual artist at the top of her game. It’s a masterclass in honesty as Halsey deftly wields the enticements of pop, all the while exploring ageless issues regarding self, suffering, and the pursuit of wholeness. Benjamin Tod
Shooting Star
Lost Dog Street BandBuy Now Shooting Star is one of Tod’s boldest statement yet—a defiant stand against the Nashville establishment, wrapped in the timeless sounds of honky-tonk. Tod brings his life experiences and musical influences into the mix, crafting what could be considered a “True Country Album” in defiance of the mainstream. Amythyst Kiah
Still + Bright
RounderBuy Now Featuring Billy Strings, SG Goodman and Avi Kaplan, Kiah offers a darkly cinematic twist. With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work, Still + Bright fully affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth. Flat Black
Dark Side of the Brain
FearlessBuy Now Former Five Finger Death Punch lead guitarist Jason Hook marches on with his new project, continuing with his well-established brand of guitar-centric hard rock and metal. Dark Side… is an absolute rager, with thunderous, headbanger-worthy rhythms and thick guitars alongside strong, melodic and catchy choruses. Amyl and The Sniffers
Cartoon Darkness
Virgin Music InternationalBuy Now Cartoon Darkness stretches from classic punk to the glammy strut of hit single "U Should Not Be Doing That" to the stormy balladry of "Big Dreams" to pugnacious punk of "Jerkin." It’s their most diverse release yet. The Sniffers are back and back with a vengeance - bigger, brighter, smarter and sharper in every way. Steve Hill
Hanging On A String
No Label RecordsBuy Now Award-winning Canadian blues rock one-man band Steve Hill imagines his newest album will feel like a concept album, set in a dystopian world where music is the only salvation. The funny thing is that it's not set in the distant future, it's right here and now, and the hero is not a made-up character, it's just Steve doing what he's been doing for decades. Bishop Briggs
Tell My Therapist I’m Fine
Terry Eighteen, Inc.Buy Now Motivated by the need to continue honoring her late sister's spirit, Briggs weaves her loss and grief into life-honoring moments that are buoyant, irreverent and embracing. Tell My Therapist… kicks off with “Mona Lisa On A Mattress” which Briggs shared "is about a messy, sexy, toxic relationship I fell hopelessly into." Brett Eldredge
Merry Christmas (Welcome to the Family)
Warm and Cozy RecordsBuy Now Inspired by family traditions and the warmth that surrounds Christmas, the album, the vinyl version has a Christmas game on the inside of the gatefold with accompanying game pieces and a virtual die, inspiring families everywhere to create a new tradition of a "vinyl + family game night" during the holidays. Featuring duets with Kelly Clarkson and Idarose. Various Artists
Wicked: The Soundtrack
RepublicBuy Now Based on one of the most beloved musicals on stage, the generation-defining film adaptation of Wicked is destined to be the most talked-about film of the holiday season. Starring Emmy, Grammy, and Tony winning Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda. Jimmy Fallon
Holiday Seasoning
RepublicBuy Now A holiday comedy collection of all original songs with collaborations from the biggest superstars on the (snow) globe to enjoy while we rock around the tree. Includes "It Was A... (Masked Christmas)" featuring Ariana Grande & Megan Thee Stallion, "Almost Too Early For Christmas" featuring Dolly Parton, and "Wrap Me Up" featuring Meghan Trainor. Jeremy Zucker/Chelsea Cutler
brent iii
RepublicBuy Now On one level, brent represents the musical union of multi-platinum artists. On another, it’s an ongoing dialogue between two good friends. Love can often be a display of difficulty, hardship and heart-wrenching pain, but Zucker and Cutler bring color and vibrancy to a life that may otherwise feel black and white. Beardfish
Songs For Beating Hearts
Inside Out MusicBuy Now From the dreamy melancholy opening of “Ecotone” and the intricate opulence of five-part sprawl “Out In The Open,” to the prog-friendly 11-minute epic “Beating Hearts,” and the sobering noir of the closing “Torrential Downpour,” Beardfish have not just made their strongest work to date, but also their most emotionally resonant. Gaerea
Coma
Season of MistBuy Now When Gaerea emerged, the masked band came branded with a vision of black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. With Coma, Gaerea broadens their signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions with moments of intense atmospheric beauty heightened by blistering heaviness. Bonzie
When I Found The Trap Door
Beevine Records LLCBuy Now When I Found… expands Bonzie’s singular artistry and mines inspiration from such eclectic sources as the psychedelic sci-fi of Satoshi Kon’s Paprika and the elemental folk/blues of guitarist Elizabeth Cotton. It’s an intimate exploration of the often-slippery line between truth and illusion, inviting both illuminating contemplation and absolute pop surrender. Frost*
Life In The Wires
Inside Out MusicBuy Now Life In The Wires may be indulgent and nostalgic, but Frost*’s talents make it both a blast from the past and a breath of fresh air. It’s all the soaring choruses, high octane verses, and instrumental passages with those amazing keyboard and guitar solos you could ever ask for. And then some. Jordana
Lively Premonition
Grand JuryBuy Now “Maybe it’s my LA record,” Jordan Nye says of her Laurel Canyon folk and shimmery yacht rock album. “I can’t pinpoint exactly what affected it, but I do think the sun has its beam on me.” Recorded over the course of a year with close collaborator Emmett Kai, the album owes a debt to Carole King, The Mamas & The Papas and Hall & Oates or Steely Dan. Mandoki Soulmates
A Memory Of Our Future
Inside Out MusicBuy Now This album is not just for fans of prog and jazz rock, but for anyone who appreciates real music. With analog signal processing throughout, from microphone to vinyl pressing, A Memory Of Our Future is an audiophile and socio-political manifesto of precision and passion that can be felt in every note of the opus. LISTEN HERE LISTEN HERE The Offspring
Supercharged
ConcordBuy Now Following up on the global success of their album Let The Bad Times Roll, legendary So-Cal punk group The Offspring release their 11th album Supercharged. Produced by Bob Rock, the record continues the band's legacy with some of their best songwriting to date and unmatched musical energy. Soccer Mommy
Evergreen
Loma Vista RecordingsBuy Now Sophie Allison is again writing about her life, but life’s different these days: Since 2022's Sometimes, Forever, Allison experienced a profound & personal loss. New songs emerged, unflinching reflections on what she was feeling. She wanted them to sound that way too, as true to the demos as possible. Nothing overindulgent, everything real. Tears for Fears
Songs For A Nervous Planet
ConcordBuy Now Features four new tracks plus live performances of hit songs like “Shout”, “Head Over Heels”, “Everybody Wants To Rule The World”, “Mad World” & more. Spanning all eras of the band from The Hurting to The Tipping Point and beyond, this record takes you on the incomparable sonic journey that is a Tears For Fears live show and their career to date. Dwight Yoakam
Brighter Days
Thirty Tigers / VIA Entertainment Productions, Inc.Buy Now At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, Yoakamk’s self-produced Brighter Days blends a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock and roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Dwight Yoakam “cool”. -

Speaking about, “Alone,” the opening track on the album, Robert Smith says, “It’s the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded, I knew it was the opening song and I felt the whole album come into focus... that was the moment when I knew the song – and the album – were real.” Robert Smith created the sleeve concept and Andy Vella, a longtime Cure collaborator, handled the album’s art and design.

Oak Ridge Boys - Mama's Boys - Lightning Rod Records
The Oak Ridge Boys were asking each other, “Who is the person that first taught us about love, living, friends, God, and the other important things in our lives?” We agreed that would be our mothers. Down deep in our hearts, we all felt we were “mama’s boys. In this album, there are heartfelt songs, spiritual songs, memories of growing up, songs about being taught life’s lessons, and fun songs about eating way too much of mama’s home cookin’. We all had a great time singing about the things that mama taught us.

Ben Folds - Sleigher - New West Records
“Christmas is constant,” says Ben Folds. “Allowing you to take stock of what’s different, to understand who you are and all the ways you’ve grown and changed.” That notion lies at the heart of Folds’ brilliantly titled new holiday collection, Sleigher. Built on an eclectic mix of originals and reimagined classics, the album examines thepassage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss, and longing as it explores the variety of ways the yuletide season marks the chapters of our lives. The songs are playful here, full of humor and cheer, but they’re also laced with an inescapable sense of melancholy, a looming darkness that always seems to hover around the periphery of those late December nights. Folds’ performances, meanwhile, flirt with the standards while stretching the boundaries of tradition, at times offering up flashes of Vince Guaraldi and Burt Bacharach while still remaining true to Folds’ singularly virtuosic brand of off-kilter indie pop. The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas, a meditation on the inexorable turning of the calendar and our ever changing selves as observed at the most wonderful—and challenging—time of the year.
