A Day To Remember
For Those Who Have Heart [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Pink Splatter LP]
Vinyl: $28.99 PREORDER
A heady cocktail of dub rhythms, island vibes and his own sweetly melodic topline,The irony is that Letts hadnt really intended to make music of his own. Conceived during Covid down time and produced by Gaudi with a bunch of bass lines provided by Youth (The Orb/Killing Joke) that kick-started the whole thing.
The album is chockfull of guest vocalists includingTerry Hall, Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne, The Slits'Hollie Cook, Zoe Devlin Love andHonor Letts, aka Letts second youngest daughter.
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.
Multi-platinum selling artist Thirty Seconds to Mars makes a triumphant return with their sixth studio album, Its The End Of The World But Its A Beautiful Day. The record heralds a new era for the band, one that not only explores the darker sides of the human experience but the hope as well, an arresting reminder that even in the face of seemingly impossible obstacles, there is still beauty to be found in the world.
Golden State, the second full-length from singer/songwriter Logan Ledger, marks a stylistic departure from the timeless country noir of Ledgers critically lauded debut. This time around, Ledger worked with producer Shooter Jennings, dreaming up a lush and spirited sound partly inspired by the California country-rock scene of the late-60s and early-70s. The result is a sublime setting for Ledgers layered meditations on loss and despair and the search for transcendence.

The band caught fire regionally with the chart-topping Horizons (2007) and Deep Blue(2010), then broke into the international market in 2012 with the arrival of Atlas. 2015s Ire saw the group introduce clean singing into their oeuvre, and theycontinued to move toward a more melodic, though no less aggressive metal style on 2018s Reverence and 2022s Darker Still.

Jungle
Volcano [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Heavy Splatter Transparent & Orange LP]
Vinyl: $32.99 PREORDER
VOLCANO follows Jungles previous album Loving In Stereo, which proved to be a landmark moment for the acclaimed UK duo. It achieved their highest domestic UK chart position to date debuting at #3, while also achieving their best ever album chart positions in key international territories such as Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands; and in the US it catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Dance Albums chart which led to major Arena shows as guests to Billie Eilish. The free-spirited energy that runs right through VOLCANO reflects how organically it came together. J and T had written most of the record on tour before starting the recording process while staying in an Airbnb in Los Angeles. It was later completed back home in London at their favourite location, Studio B at Metropolis Studios. This time around, the duo wanted to include a wider variety of voices within the album. In addition to Erick The Architect, they reunited with Bas (who previously featured on the Loving In Stereo single Romeo) for Pretty Little Thing, as well as calling on talents in the shape of Roots Manuva, Channel Tres and JNR Williams.
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.

In The End It Always Does [Indie Exclusive limited Edition Sunflower Yellow LP]
Vinyl: $30.99 PREORDER
Critically acclaimed artist The Japanese House has announced details of her long-awaited sophomore album, In the End It Always Does. Featuring recent single Boyhood, much of the album lives in the contradictory: beginnings and endings, obsession and mundanity, falling in love and falling apart. Four years after her widely celebrated debut, Good at Falling, this album sees Amber Bain lean even further into the pop realm whilst elevating her signature sound.
Multiplatinum recording artist Coi Leray announced her highly anticipated sophomore album COI releasing on June 23, 2023 via Uptown Records/Republic Records.

Several times, as I listened to M. Wards Supernatural Thing, I asked myself what year itwas. Was it 1952, and was I listening to a track from the Harry Smith Anthology? Was it1972, and was I eavesdropping on the recording session for After the Gold Rush?No, its 2023, and M. Ward is one of the special contemporary artists who invite suchquestions. Ward has clearly mastered the whole vocabulary of American popular musicand made serious decisions about how to employ it for his own ends. What Ward shareswith Harry Smiths artists and Neil Young is a context of musical and human values:authenticity and intimacy. Supernatural Things original songs sound freshly pulled fromthe ground, with a little earth sticking to them. Wards lyric delivery has that slight rawnessthe ear loves, and his voice has quiet dignity and great tenderness. Supernatural Thing isan open-hearted, inviting album.
The albums guest stars First Aid Kit, Shovels & Rope, Scott McMicken, Neko Case,Jim James, others enliven the album with surprises. On Too Young to Die, the womens voices in First Aid Kit spread a light frosting over the melody, and their Beach Boys-like chorus on Engine 5 makes the song sound like an instant hit. Eight of the albumsten songs are Ward originals. Theres an unusual Bowie choice, I Cant Give EverythingAway from Blackstar, and a live rendition of Daniel Johnstons Story of an Artist.-By James Cushing
Both as a solo artist and as one-half of She & Him, M. Ward became one of the definingvoices of the American indie landscape in the 2000s, earning fans and critical acclaimfor his distinctive brand of breezy West Coast Americana which pulled from folk, country,blues, pop, and experimental indie rock elements. Ward established himself with warm,analog-minded releases like 2003s Transfiguration of Vincent and 2006s Post-War before joining forces with singer/actress Zooey Deschanel to form the highly successful indiepop duo She & Him in 2008. Over the following decade, Ward split his time between projects, releasing a 2009 album with indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, several high-profilealbums with Deschanel including She & Hims Columbia-issued 2014 set Classics, andcritically acclaimed solo releases like 2009s Hold Time, 2012s A Wasteland Companion,and 2018s What a Wonderful Industry. Ward kicked off the next decade with a deeplyatmospheric set called Migration Stories and a Billie Holiday covers album Think of Springmost recently.

Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit
Weathervanes [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Natural LP]
Vinyl: $32.99 PREORDER
A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age -- and carry a certain amount of scars.
There is something about boundaries on this record, Isbell says. As you mature, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while youre growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.
Weathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love, about change, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbells fearsome 400 Unit, whove earned a place in the rock n roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers.
They make a big noise, as Isbell puts it, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit, he can be a guitar hero when he wants, and a conductor when he wants, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound.
Jenny Lewis fifth solo album, JoyAll arrives June 9th. JoyAll finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records. While JoyAll pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration from classic soul to 90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records the albums rich, intimate and warm live sound is the hallmark of eight-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb. Recorded at Nashvilles historic RCA Studio A, JoyAll includes new single Psychos and the previously released single Puppy and a Truck.
