Imagine the scorched sand, cardboard cowboys, and flooded sets of a never-made Italian spaghetti western, Wild Bird takes Coral fans to the clapperboard on a new story playing out all the way to the release of the bands 11th studio album, Sea Of Mirrors. Following acclaimed album, Coral Island, the band felt inspired to create material: Sea Of Mirrors vivid concept is a blueprint for The Coral to move beyond all expectations once again. Indie Exclusive Multicolor LP.
Over the past eight years Teenage Wrist have continually evolved their sound, a process thats peaking with their third full-length, STILL LOVE. Reaching new heights in both scope and execution, the album sees the duoMarshall Gallagher (vocalist, guitarist, bassist) and Anthony Salazar (drums, vocalist, percussion)producing the album themselves to handcraft their most expansive collection of songs to date from the ground up. The result is a self-realized collection of songs that saw the band borrowing vintage gear, bringing in friends in the form of members from 311 vocalist/turntablist Doug SA Martinez and Softcult and incorporating tasteful pop sensibilities to craft a collection of songs that redefines the bands sound while staying true to their guitar-driven roots.
From the atmospheric, fuzzed out opener Sunshine (which Gallagher says is the coolest riff hes ever written) to the midtempo rocker Dark Sky (the latter of which features the aforementioned cameo from 311 vocalist/turntablist Doug SA Martinez), the album will undoubtedly please fans who favor distorted guitars and crunchy chords. However, thats only one aspect of the album and Teenage Wrist arent ashamed to admit that theres a strong pop sensibility on the album that shows how much theyve grown as songwriters since 2021s Earth is a Black Hole. From the brain-invading ballad Something Good to the downbeat electronic vibe of Diorama, the album is teeming with unexpected moments that are reminiscent of Radioheads flair for experimentation.
The powerful bond between these two collaborators lies at the core of Teenage Wrists music and, more than any other factor, thats evident on every moment of STILL LOVE. There was a certain feeling that music gave me as a kid and this is honestly the first time on any record I feel like we kind of came close to achieving that, Gallagher says of the end result. We just shot from the gut on this record and tried not to overanalyze things... and I think the record speaks for itself.
Since announcing their arrival with debut album in 1991, Blur went on to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with six successive UK #1 albums and a string of Top 10 singles, including two No 1s, helping to propel the band to mass popularity at home and abroad. One of the biggest British bands of the last three decades, Blur have released eight studio albums and collected ten NME Awards, six Q Awards, five BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and played live to millions of devoted fans across the globe.
Whilst they are an iconic band, the new music truly feels like they have re-invented their sound for 2023 and we should really amplify the commercial viability and youthful leaning sound to reach new audiences.
The album is truly incredible body of work which is beautifully layered, with real stand-out singles which is understandably described by the band as one of their best creations.
The sophomore album from 11x Platinum-certified, 43x Gold-certified, and GRAMMY-winning rock icon COREY TAYLOR .I have no fear when it comes to music. None, Corey Taylor declares. It feels so good to really lean into the things that I've been chomping at the bit to do. Those things? The 13 diverse, unforgettable songs on CMF2, ranging from the punchy, timeless first single Beyond to Someday Ill Change Your Mind, a soaring, sentimental stunner with an infectious chorus. The songs move seamlessly from the punk rawness and anthemic rallying cry of We Are The Rest to the acoustic lament Breath Of Fresh Smoke to Post Traumatic Blues, which has a wild sensibility that echoes the lyrical topic of PTSD.
Produced by Chris Thomas (Roxy Music, Sex Pistols, Pretenders, Wings), Empty Glass was Townshends next solo release appearing in April 1980. The songs predominantly deal with issues Townshend was struggling with at the time, including the death of Keith Moon, the Whos former drummer.

Queens Of The Stone Age
In Times New Roman... [Limited Edition Red 2LP]
"In Times New Roman..., the 8th studio album from Queens of the Stone Age is raw, brutal & rough around the edges but with a refinement that reveals itself further with each successive listen and QOTSA founder Joshua Hommes lyrics are as witty and withering than ever. The results are instantly identifiable ; QOTSAs sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song, a live in-a-room recording that showcases a band at the height of their creative powers.
In Times New Roman... is a party for the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between. One of the most important bands in recent rock history is B A C K but its no exaggeration to call this album a devastating rebirth."

Throughout the ten tracks in their new album Let There Be Music, you canhear the spaciousness Bonny Doon allowed themselves since their 2018sleeper cult-classic Longwave. Their latest musical journey is one that hasbig payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone juststumbling across the band for the first time. After extensively touring Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox andColombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatcheescritically acclaimed album Saint Cloud. The experience raised the ceiling onour imagination, Colombo said.
Soon after, Colombo and Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion tothe songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a timeof serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohns disease andBobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours ofdoctors appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also playing on Waxahatachees Saint Cloud tour.These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Musicfor several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as anachievement in perseverance for the band.
On their long-awaited third album, we get a glimpse into the pure joy of BonnyDoon. The album serves as less of one conceptual story, and each songas their own individual offerings of putting words to the ordinary experienceof being alive. The band is at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftlyexplores new terrain. Let There Be Music is brimming with small truths - bothprofound and mundane, comforting and difficult - and we are invited to revel inthem all.
An indie pop duo whose music has a cool retro vibe buoyed by smooth melodies, a naturalistic sound, and warm harmonies, Purr is a collaboration between songwriters, musicians, and longtime friends Eliza Barry Callahan and Jack Staffen. The two previously worked together as Jack + Eliza, but while that project emphasized spare and stripped-down accompaniment, Purrs recordings feature a fuller sound with a larger palette of instrumental flavors that often references 60s pop. Purr introduced themselves to the world with a 2018 single, Bad Advice b/w Painted Memory, that showed off their talents as both writers and vocalists, and they further refined their style on their first full-length album, 2020s Like New and continue that on forthcoming album Who Is Afraid Of Blue?
To make it, the duo teamed up with their close friend, producer Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, The Killers), whom they worked with on Like New. They went to his North Hollywood studio, a small building behind his home. This was during Omicron, so they kept recording small, just the three of them in a room for most of the time. Programmed drums on an 808, that kind of thing. While they recorded, they screened movies. Ranging from Barbara Lodens Wanda, to Paul Thomas Andersons Magnolia, to Dr. Strange and The Avengers. It all provided texture to the songs. Like making a score. Its a really hermetic record, says Staffen, which ended up feeling really special.
Sonically, Who Is Afraid Of Blue? isnt beholden by genre. It is an omnivorous recordyou can hear glimmers of Aimee Mann, Radiohead, the Cocteau Twins which is fitting because Blue is in some ways a record of their process of falling in love with music all over again.
Who Is Afraid Of Blue? also exists lightly in conversation with a short novel Callahan wrote (forthcoming via Catapult, 2024), an auto-fiction document of a woman losing her hearing. And all of it comes back to those Newman works: Purr makes music that functions like those large-scale paintings so very saturated with color. Blue is a vast record, with lyrics that bend towards abstraction. But make no mistake: in that abstraction there is intense clarity. Blue is blue: a color, a feeling, a signifier, a way of looking at the world.
Bobbie Nelsons musical career dates back to the 1940s. Naturally gifted on the piano, she played in churches, revival tents, concert halls and honky-tonks, eventually joining her brother Willie Nelsons Family Band in the early 70s. Amanda Shires says: "Much of my path seemed possible because I saw a woman working and making a career of music at a young age, and that woman was Bobbie Nelson. Loving You is a collection of songs the duo have played and treasured their entire lives.
Gag Order is an album that finds the GRAMMY-nominated pop star, Kesha, excavating the deepest recesses of her soul to date. The record, which Kesha has labeled post-pop and was produced by Rick Rubin, is a full-bodied collection that flows like a stream of conscious journey through the psychedelic dark depths of the human psyche followed by basking in the cleansing light when finally reaching the surface.
Deer Ticks first new body of work since 2017, Emotional Contracts is their most collaborative to date, and sees all four members operating at peak songwriter power. Produced by Dave Fridmann, the 10-song set features guest musicians like Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and background vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews, Vanessa Carlton, Kam Franklin, Angela Miller, and Sheree Smith. Deer Ticks ATO Records debut adds an even greater vitality to their feverish collection of timeless rock-and-roll.
Wild Creatures is a career retrospective album containing twenty-three of Neko Cases most impactful tracks from her discography, and will now be available on CD and 2x LP.
With a career spanning over twenty years, she has famously collaborated with The New Pornographers and Case/Lang/Veirs in addition to releasing many critically acclaimed solo albums, including Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, Middle Cyclone and most recently 2018s Hell-On.
Gathering power year after year, Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style, where their ghost can appear any minute. When her voice jumps an octave, its almost visible, like sparks at night. I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice, she says, but I just wanted to do it so bad.
The Vinyl configurations include: 2 LPs with printed inner sleeves, in a Gate- fold jacket.

Australian indie folk rock band The Paper Kites release their highly anticipated sixth album - At The Roadhouse.

The atmosphere of the live performance is recreated with pedal steel and crooning vocals and harmonies. The song lyrics reminisce of a romance still as alive as a blue flame. "We had talked about this for years" Sam Bentley explains, "We were drawn to the idea of holding up in a town somewhere and playing the evenings as a house band. The Roadhouse became this place for us." Expanding their line-up, the five members of The Paper Kites recruited three extra musicians to make up their roadhouse band, including multi-instrumentalist Matt Dixon - who's weeping pedal steel features on the track - as well as Hannah Cameron and Chris Panousakis.
