Produced by Gene Walker and mixed by Andy Wallace and Dan Malsch, GHOST’s sixth psalm, Skeletá, is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter—such as IMPERA’s meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle’s evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues—Skeletá’s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.

What's New 4-18-25
Blue Grape MusicThe music of Superheaven unfolds like an unspoken conversation between the respective players (and old friends), revolving around post-hardcore grit, full-bodied and fuzzed-out distortion, and hazy alternative melodies. Muscular riffs make indentations in a perpetually droning soundscape, fissuring into fits of catchy catharsis and hypnotic jamming without rival.
Her Name Is Banks, IncA Banks record is always a bit chaotic – it’s her time-trusted method – but Off With Her Head is both focused and commanding. Her varied approach results in everything from murky electronic-R&B, to gossamer balladry, to airy dance music, creating some of her most unrelenting work yet, though its messiness is charming rather than trying. Listening to your innermost thoughts isn’t indulgent: for Banks, it’s the path to artistic freedom.
MatadorSolo, both Julien Baker and Mackeznie Scott (Torres) specialize in defiant introspection, with a vaguely country tinge. Together they've upped the country count to offer a deep well of sing-alongs from the dive bar jukebox overflowing with straight-forward songs and harmony vocals, which evoke Emmylou Harris as much as Margo Price.
Sub PopThe TV On The Radio frontman’s first solo outing is more a shiny recalibration of his previous band’s high-density art rock than a radical restart, especially of their more electronic, funky and pop-facing side. Adebimpe grasps the opportunity to be more playful, whether it’s quoting pop standard “Swinging On A Star” on “Pinstack” or firing up classic dancehall reggae’s classic Sleng Teng riddim halfway through album standout “The Most”.

d4vd - WITHERED - Darkroom/Interscope Records
d4vd’s debut album, WITHERED, is one of the most hotly anticipated albums of the year. It completes the story laid out in his 2023 EPs, Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals, as he continues to articulate a relationship’s ricocheting emotions: the coruscating highs and bleak lows, all set to music that’s intimate, hook-heavy, and refreshingly direct. Created primarily on Bandlab, WITHERED brought d4vd back to the place his music journey began: his sister’s closet, alone with his iPhone. To finish the record, d4vd journeyed to London with a trusted crew of collaborators to create a cohesive, intimate record that’s meant to be listened to sequentially — the songs consumed like chapters — that spotlights his evolution as a deft and dynamic vocalist.
Kassi Ashton - Made From The Dirt: The Blooms (Bonus Tracks) - MCA Nashville
Deluxe version of Kassi Ashton's long-awaited, full-length debut album, Made From The Dirt, now featuring 5 additional tracks, including "Sounds Like Somethin' I'd Say (feat. Parker McCollum)." Made From The Dirt not only showcases Kassi's one-of-a-kind signature style front and center, but it also tells her story so far. She holds nothing back on these ten tracks - from the knockout title track "Made From The Dirt" to the exhale of the finale "Juanita." Spiking her brand of country with rock 'n' roll spirit and unabashed vulnerability, she proudly wears her heart on her sleeve.

New Release Round-Up 04-18-25
Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson - What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow - Nonesuch Records
Justin Robinson and Rhiannon Giddens are two of the few people from the Black community caretaking Joe Thompson’s family tradition of fiddle and banjo music. For both, their Black banjo bodylands are primarily rooted in the North Carolina Piedmont, where Joe mentored them. The term “Black banjo bodylands” describes the deep connection between banjos, land, and the Black musicians who breathe life into them. Intimate engagements with place, nature, and community around this musical practice are essential to the tradition’s continuation. These bodylands constitute not just the individual player but the traditions, knowledge, and spirit handed down from their musical ancestors. On What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson simply chose to bring the places and people—even the season—with them. Heralded by the cawing of American crows, shot through with the round thrumming of periodical cicadas, these recordings represent the music exactly as it is: a particularly engaging piece of a particular place’s rich sonic ecosystem. Giddens and Robinson emphasize place, communication and collaboration in these sound offerings from the North Carolina Piedmont homes of Joe Thompson and Etta Baker and the historic Mill Prong House. This record is not about flashy arrangements, or displays of virtuosity for its own sake. It’s about the relaxed,understated flow that arises at the junction of long friendship, a sense of belonging, and monstrous technical proficiency. We make this music, we make it together, and we make it here. This record refuses to be removed.

What's New 4-11-25
Nuclear BlastThe journey of growth follows a spiral, continuously widening and deepening with every cycle.

Elton John & Brandi Carlile - Who Believes in Angels? - Interscope Records
Written and recorded over 20 days, ‘Who Believes In Angels?' is a collaborative studio album between Elton John and Brandi Carlile. It mixes Elton-led songs and Brandi-led songs, with long term collaborator Bernie Taupin and Brandi both contributing lyrics, and producer and co-writer Andrew Watt acting as the producer, mediator and creative conduit. They are backed by a world class band of musicians comprising of Chad Smith, Pino Palladino and Josh Klinghoffer.
Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong - Ninja Tune
Forever Howlong is Black Country, New Road’s first studio release since 2022's UK #3 album Ants From Up There, which gave the band their second Top 5 UK album in 12 months alongside their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut For the first time, and follows 2023's Live at Bush Hall, an album The Guardian claimed was a “magical resurgence” in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the band are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation.
The long-awaited new record was produced by James Ford (Fontaines D.C., Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Blur) and sees Black Country, New Road settled into a new shape in which vocal duties – and most of the song writing – is split between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw. “It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing," says Ellery. "It's definitely very different to Ants From Up There, because of the female perspective - and the music we've made also compliments that."
Forever Howlong is an ambitious, meticulously detailed record that includes everything from folk to prog via baroque pop and touches of alt-rock – with nods to everything from Joanna Newsom to Randy Newman via Fiona Apple and Janis Ian – yet all the while retaining that unmistakably unique sound that only this combination of musicians can come up with. Although hugely varied and expansive, the album also feels deeply cohesive and focused, as it takes three distinct voices and styles and seamlessly intersperses them into a new collective sound.

Metal Blade RecordsFor technical death metal band Allegaeon, sitting still is not an option. The group has never allowed itself to stagnate, preferring to thrive on chaos, change and evolution. Their latest is the first with original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his 2015 departure. The cleaner vocal approach on the last three albums was a fascinating artistic maneuver, but it’s undeniably thrilling to hear Haynes’ graveled larynx back in the fold on this inarguably brutal and technically dazzling slab of work.

Song of The Earth
NonesuchBuy Now A large ensemble piece by Dirty Projectors’ David Longstreth, performed by Dirty Projectors with German chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e and inspired by climate change. Heroic in its scope and shifting moods, it’s more a performance piece than repeated listen, capturing the beauty – and the peril – of nature. ALO
Frames
RepublicBuy Now Frames boasts a seamless fusion of rock, electronic, alt-pop, R&B, folk, funk and a touch of subtle wit, played by an exceptional group of musicians - all of whom write and sing lead. It’s a offers a joyful escape by a band of life-long friends who became serious artists, who don't take themselves too seriously while creating some seriously well-crafted songs. Coco Jones
Why Not More?
Def JamBuy Now A dynamic and genre-defying exploration of soul, R&B, and pop, balancing infectious hooks with introspective moments, never shying away from themes of self-worth, love, and empowerment. Coco’s storytelling is deeply personal yet universally resonant, creating a standout debut that announces her as a force to be reckoned with in contemporary music. Ariana Grande
Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead
RepublicBuy Now Deluxe version of the 2024 pop perfection that saw Grande’s blending her emotive lyricism and expansive vocal range blend with dive into house-music. Adds nine bonus tracks, including six new songs. 2 LP translucent marble vinyl, gatefold jacket, 24-page booklet featuring lyrics and new photos. Envy of None
Stygian Waves
KscopeBuy Now The second release from the alternative-rock supergroup featuring Alex Lifeson (Rush), Andy Curran (Coney Hatch) and vocalist Maiah Wynne. Stygian Waves boldly ventures into a spectrum of new guises—from alt-pop and industrial rock to synthwave and hard rock. Lotti Golden
Motor-Cycle
High Moon RecordsBuy Now Motor-Cycle is that rare party record that’s got a bizarre story behind it while still being a freak-show record that you can throw on at dance parties. To make a crude comparison, it’s as if The Velvet Underground recorded for Motown. In short: debauchery with a beat. Dig it. Pug Johnson
El Cabron
Break Maiden RecordsBuy Now Pulling from a wide variety of musical genres prevalent in the Southeast Texas region he calls home, Pug effortlessly mixes Tejano, Zydeco, Texas Swing, Honky-Tonk, R&B, Dixieland, and down-home Rock and Roll -- all behind a voice that is pure Country. The Blue Stones
Metro
New Weapon RecordsBuy Now The Blue Stones’ sound—a melting pot of rock, blues, hip-hop, and pop—has always set them apart. They thrive on contrasts and a controlled sense of chaos, both on record and during their awe-inspiring live shows. With Metro, they deliver their most unfiltered, unapologetic work yet. Step aboard. The next stop is whatever you make it. Jason Boland & The Stragglers
The Last Kings of Babylon
Proud Souls EntertainmentBuy Now Boland’s latest album reflects back on the last quarter century through a series of raw, exhilarating performances captured live on the studio floor in just two whirlwind days. The result is a timeless offering from a group of master craftsmen at the top of their game, a joyful, honest snapshot of a working band 25 years into their career. Craig Finn
Always Been
TamaracBuy Now The Hold Steady frontman returns with his most narrative record yet. Always Been tells the story of a man who becomes a clergyman despite a lack of faith. What separates this album from the 14 he’s made before is the involvement of Adam Granduciel (War on Drugs), who produces luminously, plays guitars, synths and more, and enlists his bandmates for much of the remaining instrumentation. Ned LeDoux
Safe Haven
Powder River Records / Thirty TigersBuy Now As the son of country legend Chris LeDoux, Ned remains a powerful voice in the outlaw tradition, using his experiences to create music that resonates with authenticity and emotional depth. Safe Haven is testament to resilience, blending sorrow (including the tragic death of his daughter Haven in 2019) with joy, and faith with the conviction that his loved ones continue to guide him. Bobby Rush and Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Young Fashioned Ways
Deep RushBuy Now Bobby Rush and Kenny Wayne Shepherd were born about 44 years and miles apart. Several decades later after the two forged their own path in music and the blues, it seemed like an idea that had been waiting to happen. For over 100 years, blues music has inspired, comforted and spoken to the truth. Young Fashioned Ways accomplishes all of that and more. DJO
The Crux
Twenty20 LLCBuy Now Actor Joe Keery plays Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington in Stranger Things and his retro-pop stylings are just as keenly observed and affable. ELO-ish introspection (“Lonesome Is A State Of Mind”) gives way to new wave (“Link”; “Back On You”) and some toothsome McCartney confections (“Charlie's Garden”; “Golden Line”). LISTEN HERE LISTEN HERE Mumford & Sons
Rushmere
GlassnoteBuy Now Mumford & Sons are back with their 5th studio album Rushmere, produced by Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). The 10 track album is a triumphant return to form, with upbeat foot-stompers “Rushmere,” “Truth,” and “Caroline” alongside tender ballads such as “Monochrome” and “Where It Belongs.” It’s the perfect reintroduction – a reminder of why the world first fell in love with them nearly two decades ago, and a testament to their enduring ability to capture our ears and our hearts. -

Lucy Dacus - Forever Is A Feeling - Geffen
Widely regarded as “one of the best songwriters of her generation” (Rolling Stone), Lucy Dacus returns with Forever Is A Feeling on 3/28. Following a career defining run with boygenius that earned her three GRAMMY® Awards, her fourth solo studio album explores falling in and out of love, the tumult of desire, and larger than life romance. Across 13 tracks that range from lush arrangements to simple declarations, Dacus makes a serious inquiry into what it looks like to dedicate one’s life to true love, and a valiant attempt to capture the elusive, fleeting feeling of forever.

What's New 3-28-25
GlassnoteMumford & Sons are back with their 5th studio album Rushmere, produced by Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson). The 10 track album is a triumphant return to form, with upbeat foot-stompers “Rushmere,” “Truth,” and “Caroline” alongside tender ballads such as “Monochrome” and “Where It Belongs.”
MNRK HeavyWhen they broke through in the mid-’00s, Underoath’s prominent use of electronic and industrial sounds gave them an edge on many of their post-hardcore peers, resulting in some of said scene’s most respected albums of the era. The Floridians’ 10th album is another solid addition to a catalogue by a band who have long refused to stay in any one lane.
Earache RecordsSicksense fuses huge basslines, hip-hop and – of all things – melodic death metal while their two vocalists Killer-V and Rob The Ripper sing, rap or trade screams in what proves to be an intoxicating mix. Delightfully weird, thoughtfully constructed and with a strong personality, Cross Me Twice is Nu-metal for a new generation.
Down The RoadKnown for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are making their long-awaited return with Arcadia – their first LP since the 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane—a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award winning album.
MatadorWith each of his albums, Mike Hadreas shakes out his pent-up desires—to love, to express queerness, or simply to dance. On Glory, he dials back the sprawling, climactic pop in favor of subtler compositions that lurch and wobble over layers of alt-rock and orchestral instrumentation. From this ornate environment, Hadreas delivers tactile poetry and pained self-examinations, extracting catharsis from isolation and anxiety.
Century MediaArch Enemy promised they'd throw out the rule book for Blood Dynasty. They didn't go quite that far, but this is the boldest album of the Alissa White-Gluz era - and it kicks ass. The Swedish metal aristocrats keep thrashing on with merciless 12th album, mixing some bold experimentation with the kind of full-throttle heavy metal thunder you'd expect.
FearlessChase Atlantic‘s Lost in Heaven is a compelling exploration of desire, chaos, and emotional vulnerability, seamlessly weaving together a tapestry of dark romance and hedonism. With this release, the band continues to push the boundaries of their sound, marrying immersive lyrics with atmospheric production to create a unique listening experience.
CandidCarlos Santana is music's great collaborator, blending his singular guitar style and expansive musical vision with a stunning variety of artists to create something unique, universal. On Sentient, Santana revisits these collaborations through a new lens, weaving them together into a sonic pilgrimage that passes through jazz, hip-hop, soul, rock, and Latin rhythms.
MNRK HeavyContinuing in the recent vein of 2023's acclaimed Skeletons album, What Remains is both sonically and thematically Pop Evil's heaviest ever offering; a thundering collection of arena-ready modern rock and metal hits in which Leigh Kakaty opens heart, mind and soul - pulling no punches and taking no prisoners in doing so.
Century Mediait would be a disservice and disrespectful to call Imperial Triumphant “jazz-influenced metal” of black or death or any kind. They have transcended all those genres to forge a new medium, and over the sleek Goldstar, they massage the listener to accept it. Featuring legendary drummers Thomas Haake (Meshuggah) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer).
Century MediaFrom the honky-tonk swing to the Slayer-worthy, Spiritworld's story rides on with the third installment of their death-western trifecta, blasting Mojave-born bloodlust and stomping tomahawk riffs while charging straight into a sonic vision of macabre Americana. The gateway to hell via the American West.
Napalm RecordsHarkening to ghosts of Cradle's past like Cruelty And The Beast and the galloping thunder of recent Hammer Of The Witches, Dani Filth's recognizable scream stands mightily alongside twin guitar attacks, symphonic flourishes, and explosive rhythm section. It’s a bloody love letter to longtime faithful and entryway for fresh lambs to the slaughter.
The Black Crowes Partnership / Classicberry LTDThe 25th Anniversary release of the full Greek Theater (LA) performance of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) playing with The Black Crowes from 1999. It features over 15 unreleased tracks including all the Black Crowes tunes that have never been released until now!

For their 10th album, the band teamed with producer Brendan O’Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam) for their most masterfully realized work yet, once again expanding the limits of their sound while elevating their artistry to unprecedented heights.
InterscopeFollowing a career defining run with boygenius that earned Dacus three GRAMMY Awards, her fourth solo studio album explores falling in and out of love, the tumult of desire, and larger than life romance. Across 13 tracks that range from lush arrangements to simple declarations, Dacus makes a serious inquiry into what it looks like to dedicate one’s life to true love, and a valiant attempt to capture the elusive, fleeting feeling of forever.
