Fontaines D.C. - Dopamine Chamber

Dopamine Chamber arrives like a constellation behind undulating sighs of smog: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk. In a world tipping towards collapse, it asks how pleasure mutates amid peril—and what our pursuit of it reveals about us. It's the sound of a band moving decisively away from the guitar language of their early records into something colder, stranger and more synthetic.

The Avalanches - No Bad Memories

With 31 tracks crammed into 52 minutes, Avalanches' 4th LP is full to bursting. There are more than 20 guests drawn from a preposterously broad spectrum, from experimental colossi like Suzanne Ciani, indie heroes like Karen O, Haruomi Hosono, Rivers Cuomo and Panda Bear, safe-hands producers Jamie xx and Barry Can't Swim, voiceovers from Mike Patton of Faith No More, and a rare appearance from Carly Simon. And that's to say nothing of dozens more voices that appear as samples. Free poster w/ purchase!

Richard Thompson - Hippies, Thugs and Heroes

Sixty years into a career that began with Fairport Convention and has spanned decades as one of rock's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, Richard Thompson is still chasing surprise. He lets his subconscious take the wheel, pulling from a cast of old friends, false gurus, former selves, and invented characters who insisted on having their stories told. The result is an album that refuses to sit still. Signed copies while they last.

Dummy - Do you love the color of the sky?

If 2024's Free Energy evoked the spirit of Madchester and the optimism of the rave, then Dummy's newest couches itself in a lyrical skepticism that recalls the best of post-rock and drone— think Seefeel, Windy and Carl, Laika, or Disco Inferno— while playfully adorned in jubilant pop hues of early Bjork, The Sundays, and Madonna's Ray of Light. A creative leap forward which almost sounds effortless from the group. It's a treat to witness a band this creatively in-tune with themselves, whose experiments and ideas always hit, who, when they describe a concept, actually stick the landing.

Bela Fleck - Live Heart: My Bluegrass Heart At The Ryman

In 2022, in the aftermath of a Nashville blizzard, Bela was joined by 3 generations of renowned players who together brought the fire to the legendary Ryman: Sam Bush, Michael Cleveland, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Sierra Hull, Edgar Meyer, Justin Moses, Mark Schatz, Billy Strings, Bryan Sutton, Tony Trischka, and Molly Tuttle. This live record encompasses bluegrass in its core – the intergenerational passing down of music – and is nothing short of a masterpiece in sound, artistry, and community.
