Central Square Records

Created between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawai'i, V is the first double album from the Hawaiian-New Zealand singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra band. Designed to play as one continuous movement and road-tested on dry California freeways, V is the definitive Unknown Mortal Orchestra car record. It's also the fifth full-length album Ruban has released in twelve years. Across fourteen sunbleached songs - written solo or with his brother Kody - Ruban draws from the rich traditions of West Coast AOR, yacht rock, weirdo pop and Hawaiian Hapa-haole music. Over a laidback blend of singalong anthems and cinematic instrumentals, he evokes blue skies, afternoons spent lounging by hotel swimming pools and the alluring darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces. It's a duality expressed in the dilapidated sunset blues and the saltcorroded soul Ruban explores through tracks like 'Layla' and 'Nadja. ' During the pandemic's early days, Ruban reunited with Kody at a cousin's wedding in Hawai'i. With assistance from their father, Chris Nielson (saxophone/flute) and longstanding Unknown Mortal Orchestra member Jake Portrait, they brought everything Ruban had been thinking about together. The result was V, due for release on March 3, 2023, through Jagjaguwar. When they talked about records that moved them in that spine-shivering manner, Ruban started thinking about the 70s AM radio rock and 80s pop songs that had lurked on the edge of his subconscious mind for most of his life. He wanted to write his version of records like that, leading to the two glorious uptempo singles Unknown Mortal Orchestra released in 2021, 'Weekend Run' and 'That Life'. However, the golden good times never last forever. Not long after, health issues began to plague his extended family. Putting his recordings aside, he helped his mother and his uncle move home from New Zealand and Portland to Hawai'i, and began dividing his time between Hawai'i and Palm Springs. During this period he reconnected with his relatives, reassessed his past, and started to look at things with fresh eyes. Hawai'i brought back memories of the darker side of his parents' lifestyle as entertainers. On those trips, he heard those classic AM radio rock records everywhere. They were inextricably intertwined with the palm trees, swimming pools, and glamorized hedonism he'd internalized from his childhood. There's a type of music in Hawai'i called Hapa-haole (Half white). You can hear it expressed in signature Unknown Mortal Orchestra style through the humid guitar-led atmosphere of V's penultimate song, 'I Killed Captain Cook'. Although the songs are presented in a traditional Hawaiian manner, they're mostly sung in English. Having been influenced by Hawaiian music since Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first album, Ruban saw a space for himself within the tradition. When he reflected on his success, he realised he had the responsibility and platform to represent Hapa-haole music on the global stage.

Over the span of two decades, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez has firmly established himself as an artist whose work transcends mere escapism in favor of full-on worldbuilding. Whether it be via his celebrated studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Gonzalez has proven that nothing surpasses his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific time, emotion, or sense of place.

Now with Fantasy, the Platinum selling, GRAMMY nominated artist returns with his most personal album to date. Featuring long-time collaborator Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Joe Berry, M83�s touring keyboardist and sax player, the album was born out of extended jam sessions that lasted nearly a year. The result is an exuberant, live-sounding record where trademark M83 goosebump moments abound.

Kacey Musgraves will be releasing a limited edition Zoetrope Picture Disc Vinyl in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of her debut Platinum and Grammy winning album- Same Trailer Different Park. The album went to #1 on the Country Album Charts when it was released in 2013. Kacey co-wrote all 12 tracks and co-produced the album with Luke Laird and Shane McAnally. Album won the Grammy award for the Best Country Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The album featured the break-out singles- �Merry Go Round�, �Blowin� Smoke�, and �Follow Your Arrow�.

The music on Blackout rocks, has a truckload of sweat, blood and energy & conveys an intense insight into relationships (Walk Away) & personal politics (Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight - lyrics written by Woody Guthrie after the band�was given special exclusive access & permission to use the words of Woody Guthire through his family). The record�still contains rousing tunes rooted in Irish music & American Folk (Black Velvet Band & The Dirty Glass) and destined�to be a Boston Bruins call to arms classic called �Time To Go�. And it�s important to mention that each member of the�band played a crucial role, working hand in hand to create this new record. Everyone�s influence from the youngest�member of the band to the most experienced, bring together their many influences to play a role in creating an all time�gem of a rock record. With each new record, they just don�t let up, their passion, life experience & and true commitment to music fans shines through on every song. Reissued on limited edition red vinyl to celebrate the album�s 20th�anniversary!

Misc. Items, trumpeter Jake Baldwin�s second record as a leader, features Adam Harder Nussbaum on drums, Toivo Hannigan on guitar and Cody McKinney on electric bass with seven compositions by Baldwin and three from Hannigan. It showcases Baldwin�s ability to mesh the simple and melodic with the exploratory and textural, the juxtaposition of beauty and tension, showing that miscellaneous items can sometimes be used together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.�

There�s more than a hint of ambition on the double�LP sophomore effort from Sam Austin Rabede, the�producer known as DJ Black Low. Pretoria, South�Africa-born and based, the young man makes�amapiano with new ways of expressing this local-turned-global style of dance music.�

In DJ Black Low�s musical imagination, the songs�manage to smoothly vacillate between dreamy and�firmly-grounded. Adorned with vocalists across�most of the twelve tracks, there�s a new dimension�to Black Low�s now-signature approach to abstract,�angular deconstruction of the rhythmic�developments in his songs.�

The album references influences and ambitions in�its song titles and lyrics while the music itself is�anthemic in its sonic and structural aspirations. On�many of the songs a slow-burning tension�transforms into something unexpected until you�re�somewhere else as the track concludes. There is�an emotional and compositional maturity that builds�on his earlier work. Vocals and lyrics are in focus.�Production collaborators among Black Low�s�Gauteng Province circle add to the constantly�churning array of ideas that populate this�consistently surprising release. Despite being a�relative newcomer, DJ Black Low is onto�something here.

After spending the past 20 years in the studio, on concert stages all over the world and at the literal top of the charts, All-American Rejects co-founder Tyson Ritter didn�t start Now More Than Ever in 2018 with the expectation it would turn into a real band � but a real band is very much what it has become. In tandem with veteran musicians/songwriters/producers Scott Chesak and Izzy Fontaine, Ritter has begun a meaningful and exciting new chapter in his music career with Now More Than Ever�s debut album Creatrix, which will be released March 17, 2023, by Thirty Tigers.

To hear Ritter tell it, All-American Rejects� relationship with the traditional music industry was in many ways the reason he was eager to try something different: simply making music with friends for fun, without any preconceived notions about what would, could or should happen next. In other words, no constraints, no A&Rs, no deadlines and no mandate to sound like anyone or anything other than themselves.

The fact that Ritter and Chesak have known each other for so long certainly helped jumpstart things, as the latter has been a multi-instrumentalist touring member of All-American Rejects since 2011. Chesak later segued into writing and producing for artists such as Weezer and Panic! At The Disco, a skill Ritter has long admired but had difficulty incorporating into his own creative process. As he began thinking about new music, he �definitely knew� he �didn�t want to write in the traditional sense with and for another artist in a studio. Scotty and I just got to talking and decided to write some tunes. It started that innocently.�

�We didn�t have a name, or an idea of being a band, until probably a year after that,� Chesak adds. �We were kind of just writing for the purity of writing and trying to make something cool. There�s a huge folder of songs we made during that time that aren�t part of this project, but three or four of them showed us there was something cohesive there.�

Having spent decades in the same musical scene, Ritter and Chesak were committed to a fresh approach when it came to the sound of their new work. �We were kind of sick of guitar music, because we both come from the rock world,� says Chesak, who handled bass, drums and keyboard duties during the sessions. �So at first we made a rule: Fuck guitars. No guitars!� Quickly they realized their beef wasn�t with guitars per se, but rather the same old sound of the instrument. Enter Izzy Fontaine, who has worked closely behind the scenes with everyone from Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw to Seal and Banks, and came up in the industry alongside many of the same bands as Ritter and Chesak.

Now More Than Ever shimmers with that spirit of freedom, its nine tracks gracefully surfing the peaks of the past four decades of pop and rock. These are the kinds of songs that used to be on the radio and certainly still should be today � the ones that make you dance, shake your ass and forget about everything else for a while. The breathless electro-rock of �D-E-A-D Together� and the sultry power ballad �Heart To Heart� best embody that vibe, while horn players from Ozomatli add an instant dance party to �Candle.� The �80s synth-driven closer �Never You� started life as a Ritter acoustic song but was quickly transformed by Chesak and Fontaine into what�s now the perfect soundtrack for a vintage slow dance prom scene.

To that end, �Heels Up Head Over� explores those themes with a tale about a werewolf and vampire getting married, while lyrical references to the ageless cool of Joan Jett and drunk, young romance make you feel right at home in Now More Than Ever�s company. �This is a record where there was freedom in lyric,� Ritter says. �When you�re on a major label for 15 years, you can succumb to trying to follow your last thing. That can seep into the music in a way that�s so unconscious. The joy of this band is that it�s completely free of any oppressive overlords, ivory towers, approval processes or co-writes that have been manufactured, licked, stamped and thrown onto the assembly line.�

Now More Than Ever is here to help make sure the pillars of pop and rock will never fall, and they�re prepared to go down believing. �This is our little monolith,� Ritter says. �It might be six feet tall amongst giants, but it�s pure. And it�s truth for us. It�s saccharine as fuck, and I love it.�

Ultramodern heavy icons KAMELOT reign supreme with their anticipated new studio album, The Awakening! Following� decades of top-charting releases and massive international touring, new radio-ready anthem �One More Flag in the Ground� continues the band�s legacy, proving their balanced rock and metal potency and featuring additional vocal layers from JUNO Award winning musician/producer Brian Howes.

A Space In Time is Ten Years After's sixth, and best selling album, and was originally released in August 1971.

Featuring their most well-known track "I'd Love To Change The World", which regularly features in movies and TV shows, saw the band taking a more melodic direction from previous releases and showcased the band at their peak. This new (delayed) 50th Anniversary edition of the album features a brand new mix by the original producer/engineer, Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones/Emerson Lake & Palmer/Marillion), using the original 2" multitrack tapes. He has used modern day plug-ins that perfectly emulate and expand upon the original recording. The results are stunning. The second disc in this set features the original 1971 mix of the album. Both have been mastered and cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.

Her Loss is a collaborative studio album by Drake and 21 Savage. It was released on November 4, 2022 through�OVO Sound/Republic Records and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.

Frightened Rabbit has earned a wide range of critical applause and a fervent international fan following with their emotional melodies and frank lyricism. As moving and triumphant on stage as they are on record, Frightened Rabbit has performed countless headline shows, as well as sharing stages with such like-minded artists as Modest Mouse and Atlantic labelmates Death Cab for Cutie. The band has also won over audiences at a scope of international festivals, including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Oxegen Festival, and Latitude in the UK, Australia's Splendour in the Grass, and our own Lollapalooza and South By SouthWest (SXSW).

Endless Summer Vacation�is the eagerly anticipated new album from recording artist, songwriter, and trailblazer Miley Cyrus. This collection is Miley�s eighth studio album, and the follow up to 2020�s album,�Plastic Hearts.�2023 finds Miley the strongest and most confident she�s ever been, with the music and imagery of�Endless Summer Vacation�serving as a reflection of that. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and produced with Kid Harpoon, Greg Kurstin, Mike WiLL Made-It and Tyler Johnson.

The War And Treaty will release their major label debut, The Lover�s Game, via Mercury Nashville on March 10,�2023. The husband-and-wife team of Michael Trotter, Jr. and Tanya Trotter were recently nominated for Duo/Group�of the Year at the 2022 Americana Honors & Awards ceremony. They have amassed a following as eclectic as their�sound � a bluesy yet joyful fusion of Southern soul, gospel, country and rock n� roll. Indie Exclusive Clear LP.

For The Nude Party, nearly a decade has flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, the New York-based band has released a pair of well-received albums, an EP and played numerous shows. The band has historically worked with a producer to help them create a distinct sound in their records but with their latest effort, Rides On, the band decided to handle production duties by themselves. The hands-on approach allowed the band to have as much fun creating as they ever had at any other point in their career. They recorded over 20 songs, including some that dabbled in electro-pop and stripped-down country before settling on the final 14 songs containing the best elements of �70s-driven blues rock. The relaxed vibe of the session also unleashed a diverse sonic texture compared to their previous releases. Sonically, the album is reminiscent of Sticky Fingers-era Stones, but the lyrics are mini-vignettes that embody the spirit of what The Nude Party are going for � and their growth as a band. Rides On, the band confidently says, is their best record. It�s also the most homegrown and organic record The Nude Party has created to date.

CELEBRATING A QUARTER CENTURY OF BLACKMORE'S NIGHT. 25th ANNIVERSARY RE-MIXED EDITION OF THE MILESTONE DEBUT ALBUM "SHADOW OF THE MOON"

The band's debut album "Shadow Of The Moon" (1997) was not only Blackmore's deliberate radical cut from his previous life as celebrated rockstar in Deep Purple and Rainbow; it was a ground-breaking statement of his artistic ideals: mainly acoustic music, influenced by the songs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance with a touch of genius that made them sound contemporary.

"Shadow Of The Moon" was a milestone album. It encompasses everything that Blackmore's Night stand for to this day: beautiful melodies and warm atmospheres that are able to reach the soul as well as joyful songs to dance to and to celebrate.

Those who really understood Ritchie Blackmore 's music in his rock years, could immediately find the essence of his greatness in Blackmore 's Night, supported by lyrics that fit his music more than ever before.

March 2023, the 25th Anniversary Edition of "Shadow Of The Moon" will be released worldwide. The album was converted in HD audio from the original recording, and it has been fully remixed, allowing the original performance to shine in its original glory. The original iconic artwork has been refreshed and reworked to celebrate the anniversary.

BLACKMORE'S NIGHT / SHADOW OF THE MOON (25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) (Clear)

"More Than This is an incredibly deeply personal album to myself lyrically. But the whole band has put their heart and soul into this record. We're proud of it," says lead singer and songwriter Conrad Ellis. "It's a very personal album to me on the lyrical level, because it's all about the hurdles I've overcome in life, over the past two or three years, and coming out the other side of is as a person. It's all about growth and change. I think a lot of people will connect to it on a deep level, that's what I'm hoping anyway."

The title asks, "Do you want to be more than you are? Do you want more on the financial side of things? Do you just want more from life in general, or do you want more from your love life? You want more from your job. Do you think you deserve that in some areas?"

"'More Than This' doesn't come from a sense of entitlement," stresses Ellis. "It comes from wanting to make something of yourself and your life."

Prolonging the Magic, CAKE�s third studio album, is being released for the first time on 180 gram black vinyl.�Remastered audio of the 13-track album includes �Never There,� �Let Me Go� and �Sheep Go To Heaven�.

�Remember� You Must Die� is the sound of extreme metal stalwarts SUICIDE SILENCE channeling the spirit of their classic albums like �The Cleansing� or �No Time to Bleed� and delivering a modern deathcore masterpiece. Produced by Taylor Young (Xibalba, Vitriol, Drain), �Remember� You Must Die� taps into the rawness and energy in SUICIDE SILENCE�s DNA to thunderous result. Tracks like the album�s first single, �You Must Die� and its follow-up �Capable of Violence (N.F.W.)� are proof positive that SUICIDE SILENCE are far from mellowing with time. With this record, they�re going deeper and darker, the songs often lyrically being a meditation on death and finality. Says the band: �Every second the clock ticks we grow closer to death and what happens after our short bout with time is a total mystery. �Remember� You Must Die� was written as a reminder to remember death and to not let time be our master.� With artwork by acclaimed Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough, SUICIDE SILENCE isn�t merely looking back in anger. They�re starring forward and setting the standard for metallic extremity in the process.

Songs of Pain is the first album by folk singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, recorded on a simple tape recorder and released on Compact Cassette. This is the album's first time being pressed on vinyl.�

The seeds of the collaboration were planted in 2017 when Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars toured together on the European leg of his 24K Magic World Tour. One late-night jam session on the road unlocked immediate chemistry. Just before the world slipped into quarantine, Bruno called Anderson: �Remember that idea we had back in 2017? Let�s do it.� One studio session grew into to a months-long collaboration, culminating the �setlist of doom.� Legendary Bootsy Collins christened Silk Sonic and came in as the �special guest host� for An Evening With Silk Sonic, their debut album.Silk Sonic was finally set free on March 5th, 2021. Within less than a month, their debut single �Leave The Door Open� cracked over 230 million streams, and currently sits at 1.2 billion streams with over 346 million official video views. It reeled in rave reviews, including Variety who noted it �could be a Best R&B Song GRAMMY� winner from 1974.� After petitioning the GRAMMY� Awards to #LetSilkSonicThrive, they made their debut performance with �Leave The Door Open� and served up a powerful tribute to Little Richard.

Written and recorded in three days during the�tumultuous summer of 2020, the�Black Plight EP is�Chicago multi-instrumentalist NNAMDϒs response to�the police murder of George Floyd and the subsequent�ignition of protests and demands for racial justice that swept the globe.�

In three explosive post-punk tracks, NNAMD� leans into�the heavier noise-rock tendencies of his musical�language to explore fundamental political questions of�justice�for Black Lives in��My�life� (�My life / What�s it�worth to you?�);�his mounting anger against racist�police violence in �Rage� (�They kill us dead in the street�/ Outside so everyone sees / They stand and watch while�we bleed / Black with a capital B�);�and�an�internalization and reverberation of�a call to action in �Heartless� (�Can�t sit around and wait for something to�change�)

Pop Matters said that �Nnamd�'s sounds are a testament to�the continual melting away of genre distinctions in the�current era of (particularly Black) music.� His extensive�catalog includes�covers significant�ground in hip-hop,�pop,�rock,�punk, orchestral, and experimental music. In 2021,�NNAMD� expanded his freewheeling sonic explorations for an�entr�e�into�the world of�pop-infused dance and�electronica�with the release of�the�Are You Happy EP on November 12,�2021.�

Notably,�Are You Happy�is the only NNAMD� project to date�that he did not produce, perform, and record by himself.�To�the surprise of�his fans,�NNAMD� bucked that self-imposed�precedent to work with Chicago producer Lynyn. Lynyn is the�alias of composer Conor Mackey, NNAMDϒs longtime�bandmate in the jazz-fusion quintet Monobody.�Are You�Happy released shortly before Lynyn�s 2022 debut�electronic�LP�lexicon�(Sooper Records),�which went on to garner�significant�acclaim.�DJ Magazine�said that��lexicon is likely to�set him apart as one of IDM's next visionaries�.�

Lynyn produced�Are You Happy�in its entirety, drawing on his�extensive vocabulary of electronic music and masterful�production chops to create the dense, finely detailed compositions at the core of the�project. The songs on�Are You�Happy integrate�IDM,�drum and bass,�dub,�and a kitchen-sink�of electronic�genres resulting in one of the freshest and most�singularly unique projects in NNAMDϒs extensive�and shape-shifting�catalog.

Morgan Wallen's 3rd studio album, One Thing At A Time, is set for release via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic on 3/3/23. Wallen's 36-song, deeply personal album combines his musical influences (country/alternative/hip-hop). With so much new music, the stage is set for his 63-date/30 stadium One Night At A Time World Tour. This album follows the success of his 4x platinum, Dangerous: The Double Album, which notched historical chart status at Billboard's longest running Top 10 album for a solo artist.

Grammy Award-winner Kali Uchis� third studio album, Red Moon In Venus, will be released on March 3, 2022, via�Geffen Records. It features the new single, �I Wish You Roses.�

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip hop trio de la Soul and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. Critically, as well as commercially, the album was a success. It contains the singles, "Me Myself and I", "The Magic Number, " "Buddy, " and "Eye Know". The album title came from the Johnny Cash song "Five Feet High and Rising". It is listed on Rolling Stone's 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held it's annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on the Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, de la Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, "Me, Myself and I". Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a "hippie" group, based on their declaration of the "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap).

�FOREGROUND MUSIC�, the title of Ron Gallo�s 4th LP, and debut for Kill Rock Stars might also be a suitable name for his own genre. In simplest terms it�s the opposite of background music - unavoidable, urgent, in your face - Gallo�s consistent theme is to confront, disrupt and sometimes even confuse people into a sense of awareness. The intention to steer away from apathy and self-empower by focusing on what we can control and make light of in a world designed to take it away. The guitar is less an instrument and more of a primal noise machine. This record is a challenge to everything and everyone, including his own self, who is holding back the progress of humanity (especially in America) into a more open, empathetic and collective unit - the words delivered with a punkish tenacity and lining even the heaviest topics with an ever-present sense of humor. It covers the full spectrum of emotion. This music feels like life feels right now. In his eyes, how could it not? Clad in caution tape and construction orange color scheme, much like his surrounding neighborhood in Philadelphia where it was written and recorded. Gallo doesn�t see now (or ever) as the time to sit back and chill - this is going to be what we make it. Over the course of the record traversing between sounds akin to an exploding NYC subway station, oddball dance-punk, noise pop, even the more grave moments would sit well in whatever a modern version of CBGB�s 1975 would be - in 11 songs Gallo shares detailed anecdotes and takes on male entitlement, the age of anxiety, apathy vs. action, gentrification, narcissism, retail therapy, xenophobia, the dread of future generations, right wing extremists in giant pickup trucks, capitalism, climate change and the experience

New England rock band Four Year Strong have announced a re-recorded version of "Enemy of the World� complete with an updated depiction of the album art. The album originally came out over 10 years ago and was a breakout record for the band. Now it sees new production and 4 extra b-sides. "We decided to re record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that haven�t been able to get it since the record came out." says Alan Day. He continues "It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dan's house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it. We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like it�s 2010 again."

If you�re talking about modern progressive rock and don�t bring up Haken, you�re doing it wrong. Since the south English sextet started jamming together in 2004, they�ve been one of their genre�s most loyal yet, simultaneously, adventurous forces. And how do you honour such an eclectic, unpredictable career? You make Fauna: Haken�s most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date. �The premise of the album when we started writing it was that every song would have an animal assigned to it,� explains singer and co-founder Ross Jennings. �They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others.��

Kate NV�s WOW offers listeners a prismatic shift in perspective and scale, a parallel dimension in which the mundane becomes funny, unfamiliar, and altogether sensational. Turning the contents of her 2020 album Room for the Moon upside down and spilling them across a floor checkered with intrigue and surprise, Kate places sound, object, and ritual under the microscope to magnify the delight hidden in plain sight of everyday life.

WOW is Kate Shilonosova�s fourth full-length release as Kate NV in six years, and third for RVNG Intl. Her prolific musical output aligns with a highly attuned aesthetic and a deep commitment to visual world building. WOW is one of many of these worlds in which music is fully saturated with color, deeply tactile and textural. Shiny, sproingy, plastic. Where Room for the Moon embraced structure (abstractly speaking) and veered pop, WOW happily abandons conventional song shapes, parsing the experience of musical time into ecstatic fragments.

Amongst the nearly 150 albums that Willie Nelson has released, he has a number of amazing full-album tributes to songwriters from Kris Kristofferson and George Gershwin to Ray Price and Cindy Walker. Adding to that list is a new studio album dedicated to songwriting legend Harlen Howard who has scores of country hits including a number that crossed over to pop and even R&B charts. A member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Howard wrote hits for Ray Charles (�Busted�), Buck Owens (�I�ve Got A Tiger By The Tail�), Conway Twitty (the title track), Bobby Bare (�The Streets Of Baltimore�) and so many more. Produced by longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and featuring a murderers� row of crack Nashville musicians, I Don�t Know A Thing About Love is an amazing addition to Willie�s unparalleled catalog.

Inspired by the likes of Amy Winehouse and Sam Smith, Mimi Webb started writing songs of her own at 13-years-old in diaries before eventually learning guitar. In 2019, she uploaded a handful of early compositions and collaborations online, landed management, and inked a deal with Epic Records.�Mimi�s impromptu acapella videos exploded with over 20 million views on TikTok, paving the way for a string of original fan favorites such as �Before I Go,� �Reasons,� and �Good Without.� She�s been featured in Wonderland,�Teen VOGUE,�Refinery 29,�Euphoria,�CLASH,�FLAUNT and�Consequence of Sound, to name a few. Describing her forthcoming debut album, Amelia, Mimi says �The album is named Amelia, my full first name, as there are two sides of me that I want people to get to know. There�s Amelia, the girl from the UK countryside who loves to be at home with her family, friends, and dogs; and Mimi, the pop artist who loves to be up on stage traveling the world. It was important for me to capture this duality with songs written for both of those girls, and I�m excited for you all to get to know them!�

Over the last half decade, the music collective�Constant Smiles has produced a prolific�output of acclaimed music, culminating in their forthcoming record Kenneth Anger,�masterfully brought to life by engineer�Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, Liars, Dougie�Pool). The group is known most recently for their much-praised debut album for Sacred�Bones records, Paragons, an emotionally resonant offering of indie folk masterpieces that all�confront the internal ways we process our struggles with intimacies, addiction and human-ity�produced by�Ben Greenberg.

Constant Smiles� primary singer/songwriter�Ben Jones uses the creative process as a tool for�working through deeply transformative periods in his life. The band�s indie folk music lays�bare this internal process, but on�Kenneth Anger, the music shifts to synth pop and looks�externally, examining creativity, community, ritual, and their place in the healing process.�Ritual takes a primary role in the eponymous�Kenneth Anger. Not only is auteur Kenneth�Anger himself known for his sensorial depictions of ritual, Jones often used the films as a�silent visual back drop during his song writing sessions, a ritual that grounded the creation�of the album. And while the director�s use of saturated color inspired the warm �80s synth�style production, the director�s trailblazing spirit of authenticity also pushed Jones through�his most vulnerable expression to date.

Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you're likely to hear in�this burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we're all�wrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there's a�grounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to those�who know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every corner�of you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge. It lingers hours,�days, after you've left the bar - turns of phrase that tumble around your mind,�bittersweet and familiar. He sings as deeply about the love he holds as the love�he's lost and there's something so broken-in and comfortable about that�Southern inflection that every song feels like coming home. Sharing stages with�musicians on the rise such as Zach Bryan, Arlo McKinley and Mike and the�Moonpies, Drayton has quickly gained a loyal fan base.

North Georgia Rounder is strongly related to Pony Bradshaw's last album (Calico Jim) but also stretches its legs into different territory. Place/region/localism/history has been a focus of Bradshaw's over the past few years and he has continued that focus with North Georgia Rounder. But as the album title (Rounder) suggests, it�s also about life on the road: in taverns, in vans, sleeping on floors, meeting good folks, etc. Bradshaw notes how he longs for a well-ordered life and acknowledges the struggle to reconcile that instinct with spending half of it on the road. �But stories need to be told,� he said, �and somehow I�ve finagled my way into a position to tell a few."

Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� is an extensive collection of broadcast material from one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time and one of Britain's most internationally renowned bands. Curated by founder member Tony Banks and the group�s long-time engineer and producer Nick Davis it is available as a 53-track 5-CD set and 24-track triple LP.�These collections represent the cream of the group�s work recorded by the BBC between 1970 and 1998, and it includes contributions from all three of the group�s vocalists, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson. With notes by author Michael Hann, and packaged with a 40-page booklet, �BBC Broadcasts� contains favourites such as �Home By The Sea�, �Mama�, �Duchess�, �Carpet Crawlers�, �No Son Of Mine� �Turn It On Again� and many more.�With only a handful of these tracks previously officially available, Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� acts as both a collector�s cornucopia and an alternative �greatest hits�. Stretching from the very beginnings of the band�s career via appearances on �Night Ride� and John Peel, the set encompasses both of the group�s Knebworth performances (78 and 92) as well as their much-loved 1980 show at London�s Lyceum, and triumphant sell-out run of shows at Wembley in 1987.�Rounded out by material from the NEC in 1998 and Paris Theatre and Nightride sessions from the early 70s, as well as the much sought-after encore version of �Watcher Of The Skies� at Wembley Empire Pool in 1975, Genesis �BBC Broadcasts� is a veritable treasure trove.�

A little over a decade ago Logic was sleeping on Big Lenbo�s basement couch in College Park, Maryland. Months later he would sign his first record deal and his life then changed forever. With his career taking off, Logic gave everything to his work. For years he did album after album, tour after tour, interview after interview. And it paid off - but at a severe cost to his mental health. Logic knew if he was going to continue his relationship with music, it would have to be on his own terms. Introducing College Park, Logic�s debut independent album. In College Park, Logic tells the story about a kid from Maryland who was tired of sleeping on couches� and changed that the only way he knew how.�

The Shootouts didn�t expect to be back in the studio so soon after the release of their Top 10 Americana album 'Bullseye'. But when one of country music�s most legendary artists agrees to produce your next record, you don�t say no. That�s what happened when a mutual friend introduced the band to Ray Benson � longtime frontman and 10-time Grammy-winning founder of Asleep at the Wheel. Just months after the April 2021 release of Bullseye, the Shootouts found themselves hard at work with Benson and co-producer Sam Seifert on the album that would become 'Stampede'. The new album 'Stampede' continues to follow the Shootouts mission statement of embracing the various roots of country music while filtering it through the lense of a band from Northeast Ohio. It features special guests Asleep at the Wheel, Raul Malo, Jim Lauderdale, Buddy Miller, and Marty Stuart.

As mui zyu, Hong Kong British artist Eva Liu navigates the tricky territory of ever-changing�identity, merging fantasy and folklore to create a stage for self-acceptance and deliverance.�On her debut full-length�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century, Liu utilizes chopped-up sound-scapes, delicate industrial ambience and sweet pop melodies to introduce a character��a�guide��who can be stretched across worlds to offer the catharsis of patience, perseverance�and understanding. This isn�t a character formed from a desire to escape or flee the real world,�but rather a way to submerge even deeper into ourselves.�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century�is a reflection of everyone, and everything, that made us who we are.�

On her 2021�a wonderful thing vomits, Liu was praised for her seamless integration of�darkened, often ominous instrumentation and pillowy-soft vocals. As the front person of UK�indie-rock trio Dama Scout, Liu effortlessly navigates a disorientating genre-bending sonic�landscape with a playful, gentle dexterity. Now, with the help of Dama Scout bandmate�Luciano Rossi as co-producer, Liu�s first solo full-length builds upon these previous worlds to�form a blossoming, more upbeat patchwork of lo-fi percussion, poignant lyricism and oddly�alluring arrangements.

The writing process of�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century prompted Liu to explore more of her�Hong Kong heritage, allowing a space for acceptance and celebration. �I am Chinese and I am�owning it,� she explains. �Before, I would resent it. I tried doing things that would make me like�less Chinese somehow.� As the album began to take shape, Liu read the traditional Chinese�folklore writings of Pu Songling and joined local East and Southeast Asian groups. It opened�a portal into a new self, where Liu could blend her love of video games and film scores with traditional Chinese instruments.

After Belgian electro-samba wunderkinds Antena split at the end of 1985, singer Isabelle Antena immediately shed her cold wave crown for a sophisticated pop princess tiara. On 1986�s Martin Hayles-produced En Cavale, echos of Madonna and city pop abound, with a lipstick stain of L80s Euro dance and spilled cosmopolitan�s worth of bossa nova stirred in for good measure. This elegant second chapter of a French pop diva has been expanded to include Antena�s shelved Island Records demo, adjacent B-sides and rarities, plus an expansive essay and previously unpublished photographs.

AOI: Bionix is de la Soul's sixth full length album, released on December 4, 2001. The first single, "Baby Phat" featuring Yummy Bingham and Devin the Dude, was an ode to larger sized women. Elsewhere, "Held Down", featuring Cee-Lo, found Posdnuos in an introspective mood as he mused on fatherhood, religion, and fame. Slick Rick also made an appearance on "What We Do (For Love)"; a humorous song about puberty and sexual discovery. The album featured skits with a character by the name of Reverend Do Good, which worked as social commentary as well as the intros and outros of the songs. The final Reverend Do Good skit acts as one final advertisement for Ghost Weed as heard on de la Soul's previous album, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump.

Solid Gold, the long-awaited solo debut album from acclaimed musician Miles Miller will be released July 7 via Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Sturgill Simpson, the album features twelve original songs and marks the first body of work released by Miller as a solo artist. The album was recorded over the course of three days in January 2022 in Nashville, TN.

Of the album, Miller shares, �Solid Gold is a love story, but about love being around and love leaving. It�s an entire story essentially about wanting to get back to the love you have, realizing you shouldn�t give it away, to love leaving, hitting the road because of it leaving, feeling love on the road, love from home, to realizing you need to keep walking and wish them well. It�s an album about the cycle of a love story that crumbles.�

Raised in central Kentucky, Miller has spent the better part of the past decade on the road as a drummer for artists including Sturgill Simpson and Town Mountain. In 2009, he was discovered by acclaimed producer Dave Cobb after playing drum covers on YouTube at the age of 16. While drumming and vocals are what he has been most noted for, playing guitar is his first love.

Spending time off of the road allowed him to hone in on his songwriting and it became clear that the time had come to step away from the drum kit and focus on his own artistic vision. This June, Miller will embark on a handful of dates supporting Tyler Childers. Additional tour dates to be announced.

Indie Exclusive * 50th Anniversary Edition * When Jodorowsky wanted, in his words, �another kind of music�something that wasn�t entertainment, something that wasn�t a show, something that went to the soul, something profound,� for the soundtrack to The Holy Mountain, jazz legend Don Cherry and crack studio musician (and one-time member of the Archies) Ron Frangipane came forward to share composing and, along with Jodorowsky, conducting duties. The result was a score that is every bit as hallucinatory as the fantastic visual imagery in the film itself. A cornucopia of musical styles that range from deep, primordial chants, to sitar folk melodies, to blaring orchestral riffs and romantic string arrangements provide the perfect aural accompaniment to a film that follows the philosophical and spiritual journey of its protagonist.

The Wrack Line is a collaboratively written album between Clyde Petersen and many special guests throughout the world. These songs were created through numerous exchanges of concepts, hooks, riffs and emotional conversations, processed through tin-can telephones, carrier pigeons, twilight dreams and shooting stars. In the summer of 2022, the Your Heart Breaks studio band, made up of Eli Moore and Ashley Eriksson from the band LAKE and Katherine Paul from Black Belt Eagle Scout, gathered at the Unknown studio in Anacortes, Washington to record the basic tracks for each song. We learned 2 or 3 songs together each day and recorded them together, live in the studio. Nicholas Wilbur produced and engineered the album, guiding us with ease, running the board and giving honest feedback on each attempt. I am grateful to all of the artists involved for their willingness to be open and vulnerable in the process of collaboration. I urge you to seek out the music of the accompanying artists on this album. Each of their projects is truly magical and has been deeply influential in my life. Thank you to Kill Rock Stars. It�s a teenage dream come true. No oceans were harmed in the creation of The Wrack Line.
