Deep Sea Diver
Impossible Weight
ATO
|
|
The third full-length from Deep Sea Diver is a work of sublime highs and mesmerizing lows, its restless intensity both unsettling and transcendent. Co-produced by bandleader Jessica Dobson and Andy D. Park, the album's lush textures and mercurial arrangements reveal the limitless imagination of Dobson's guitar work (previously shown in playing lead guitar for Beck and The Shins) and fully illuminates the power of her vocals. |

I Don't Know How But They Found Me
Razzmatazz
Fearless
|
|
iDKHOW is a new project led by Dallon Weekes (Panic! At The Disco). They initially had a curated storyline, believed to have been a decades-old band that never got a big break until 2017, when an anonymous donor released recovered video footage that hints otherwise, leading fans, music historians and conspiracy theorists to debate. |

Action Bronson
Only For Dolphins
Loma Vista
|
|
On White Bronco Bronson rapped "my next album's only for dolphins," and the principled MC is nothing if not true to his word. A Queens legend, respected for his idiosyncratic pen and vivid raps, Bronson is a decade into his career and still deepening his skillset. With Only For Dolphins, he wants to take the listener on a tour of his creativity. Welcome to his world. |

|
|
The First Lady of Song Returns to Berlin, Home of Her Legendary Concerts.

Skald
VIKINGS MEMORIES
Verve
|
|
Skald is inspired by the Doggerland, which is an island that disappeared 20,000 years ago following various natural disasters (tsunami, long winter...). The Vikings tell here the history of the people who preceded them and question the role of Man for saving the planet. This is an invitation to listen to messages from the past to build the future. |

Stray Cats
Rocked This Town
Surfdog
|
|
This collection of 23 tracks recorded during the band's critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary Tour in 2019 combines their unparalleled virtuosity and red-hot rock & roll spirit, all raw and completely live–the way it was played on sweaty stages around the world. Produced by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom. |

The Jaded Hearts Club
You've Always Been Here
Infectious Music
|
|
Started as a Beatles cover band to play his birthday, Jamie Davis nabbed frontmen Miles Kane (The Last Shadow Puppets) and Nic Cester (Jet), guitarists Graham Coxon (Blur), Matt Bellamy (Muse) on bass and drummer Sean Payne (The Zutons). Post-birthday, Bellamy and Davis started working on an album, focusing on lost Northern Soul classics, supplemented by their raw, soulful takes on some famous standards. |

IDLES
Ultra Mono
Partisan Records
|
|
Sonically constructed to capture the feeling of a hip-hop record, Ultra Mono doubles down on the vitriolic sneer and blunt social commentary of their past work. Not far beneath the surface of their self-admitted sloganeering lies a deeply complex and brutally relevant album that chews up clichés and spits them out as high art for the masses. This is momentary acceptance of the self. |

The Budos Band
Long in the Tooth
Daptone Records
|
|
Long In The Tooth delivers a truly epic collection of new material that finds the group further bridging the gap between the farfisa-fueled Ethio-Funk stylings of their early recordings, with the psychedelic, Sabbath-inspired hellfire of late. Heavy drum breaks reign supreme, setting the stage for the pulsating, hallucinatory wall of organ, menacing horns, and rugged guitar riffs to permeate your soul. |

Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters
Rise Up
Stony Plain
|
|
The majority of Rise Up, recorded in The Living Room Sessions in Ronnie's home during quarantine, are filled with songs that remind us of the comfort brought by family and community. Earl has always believed in the power of music to heal the mind and spirit, and the 15 tracks on this new disc demonstrate that implicitly. |

Cayucas
Blue Summer
Park The Van
|
|
For their fourth album as Cayucas, brothers Zach and Ben Yudin are heading back to the beach—in other words, to the sunny, vibrant, melodic rock from which they first paddled out. While at first listen the tracks may seem to simplify the glory of a sunny SoCal day, there is typically a slight pang or sense of longing present. Fitting for a year rife with our own bummer summers. |

Drew Citron
Free Now
Park The Van
|
|
Brooklyn indie-rock stalwart Drew Citron formed Beverly in 2013, after having got her start as a touring member with Frankie Rose and The Pains of Being Pure of Heart. With Free Now, Citron, one of the most beautiful voices in Indie Rock, comes to the table with a whole lot of pain to sing about and the full musical knowledge to put herself, and her talents, front and center. |

New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers
Volume 1
Stony Plain
|
|
Back in January 2008 Luther & Cody Dickinson sat down for a guitar jam with ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus, and blues greats Charlie Musselwhite, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Dickinson— a self-described "hardcore blues" recording. Crossing the generations of new Blues-Rockers and Classic Blues Statesmen Volume 1 stands as a testament to the great experience and talent of these esteemed performers that they could casually conjure a recording of this quality out of the ether this way. |

Yung Lean
STARZ
Year0001/AWAL
|
|
Much like Lean's overall catalogue, the new album feels almost impossibly cohesive. In part, that's thanks to production entirely from longtime collaborator whitearmor - they kept the sessions intimate and secluded, recording partly in an old ballet hall in the Swedish countryside. But this is an album only Lean could make, as a young veteran, with a sound and career that's well-entrenched globally but still on its own planet. |

The Pineapple Thief
Versions Of The Truth
KSCOPE
|
|
Versions Of The Truth represents a conceptual progression from Dissolution (a contemplation on our 'post truth' world) and lyrically tackles similar themes, but from a more personal perspective. Reflecting on how there can be more than one 'version of the truth', the album's songs revolve around the impact the media can have on our lives and the people we love. |

Sylvan Esso
Free Love
Loma Vista
|
|
What started out in LA and was finished back in North Carolina at Esso's home studio, Free Love asks major questions about self-image, self-righteousness, friendship, romance, and environmental calamity with enough warmth, playfulness, and magnetism to make you consider an alternate reality. These are Sylvan Esso's most nuanced and undeniable songs—bold enough to say how they feel, big enough to make you join in that feeling. |

Sufjan Stevens
The Ascension
Secretly
|
|
Stevens' eight studio LP, The Ascension is the long awaited follow-up to Carrie and Lowell. In the time between, Stevens also released Oscar-nominated music for the Luca Guadagnino film Call Me By Your Name; a collaborative album entitled Planetarium with Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner (The National) and James Mcalister; and scored several works for ballet: Reflections (Houston Ballet) and Principia (NYCB). |

Gamblers
Small World
Gamblers
|
|
Small World reflects that odd sense of distance one develops from being in a place that's so close yet so far, so undeniably locked in the gravitational pull of the center of the universe, only with a language and lore all its own. These songs remind us to trust our gut and that love is worth exploring, all with an inescapable rhythm. In these trying times, everybody should say thank you for reminding us to dance our little asses off. |
