Wang Chung
SING

More than just a collection of tracks from the band's four-decade career, Clear Light / Dark Matter showcases the duality that defines Wang Chung: the upbeat, infectious energy of songs like "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Dance Hall Days" balanced with deeper, complex rhythms and experimental production techniques.

98º
XOXO Entertainment Corp.

After more than two decades of captivating fans with their signature harmonies and timeless love songs, 98 Degrees returns with a new chapter in the group's storied career. This highly anticipated release features five brand new tracks that showcase the evolution of the band’s sound, while still staying true to the essence that made them icons of the '90s and 2000s.

Arcade Fire
Columbia Records

When experienced in its entirety, Pink Elephant invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen. Produced by Win Butler, Régine Chassagne and Daniel Lanois.

I'm With Her
Rounder

Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan imbue their songs with sharply detailed lyricism, graceful musicianship, and—perhaps most powerfully—mesmerizing harmonies that endlessly reflect their extraordinary chemistry. Through this collaboration comes maternal wisdom from artists who are first and foremost mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends.

Kali Uchis
Capitol

Kali’s artistry has always felt otherworldly, ethereal, and elusive. Sincerely, represents her most vulnerable and intimate work to date, offering an existential glimpse into the way she romanticizes life and her inner world. The album is a sanctuary, an escape from the chaos, a search for peace, and an act of catharsis.

Mclusky
Ipecac Recordings

More than two decades after their last release, the ultra-clever Welsh noise-rockers Mclusky have a new album ready to go with The World Is Still Here And So Are We. The short-lived, now revived post-hardcore group picks up where they left off: sharp, confrontational, and often absurd. Play it loud.

The Head and the Heart
Verve

Aperture marks a reinvention for the Seattle indie folk band. After over a decade of soaring highs, personal reckonings, and a near-fracturing during the pandemic, the six-piece emerges more connected than ever—grounded in vulnerability, spontaneity, and deep creative trust. It’s the sound of a band finding again its shared footing.
