Hayley Williams - Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party

These songs come as the 3rd batch of work released from Hayley as a solo artist. The COVID-era saw her release two extraordinary albums - 2020's Petals For Armor and 2021's Flowers for Vases. Both albums were gorgeous and stark meditations on loss and offered up a contrast to the high-energy and up-tempo muscle she displays in Paramore. "The record- epitomizing vulnerability and transformative growth- reveals a more mature and introspective side of Williams," said Pitchfork of Petals, and went on to say of Flowers "her voice is undoubtedly the standout feature... husky and gentle, dangerous yet warm," and explained that the minimal production "makes this a purposeful reset."

SML - How You Been

SML is the quintet of bassist Anna Butterss, synthesist Jeremiah Chiu, saxophonist Josh Johnson, percussionist Booker Stardrum, and guitarist Gregory Uhlmann. Their 2nd album finds the supergroup pushing ever further into the hyperrealist, collectivist approach to music creation nascently explored on their debut. At inception the band inspired disparate but distinctive artist comparisons like Essential Logic, Oval, Herbie Hancock's Sextant, and electric Miles Davis, as well as assorted genre touchpoints like Afrobeat, kosmiche, proto-techno and new-jazz.

Mavis Staples - Sad and Beautiful World

Grim days call for fierce love. And Mavis Staples, one of the most enduring figures in American music, is laying it down. Sad And Beautiful World spans 7 decades of the American songbook - a range nearly as vast as Mavis' career - and includes reinventions of timeless songs by Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Gillian Welch, Frank Ocean and more. Collaborators include Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, Derek Trucks, Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, and Justin Vernon. Nuff said.

Husker Du - 1985: The Miracle Year

Husker Du. Live. 1985. Need we say more? Witness the transcendent Minneapolis punk trio tearing into the most incendiary year of it's existence, captured live on stage at First Avenue in perhaps the highest fidelity recordings of the band's lauded SST era. This 2CD or 4LP edition includes Beau Sorenson's restoration of the entire January 30, 1985 set plus 20 extra live tracks from the year's touring schedule, and a booklet detailing twelve months of history-making. What is the sound of a legend being written?

Brian Wilson - Live at the Roxy Theatre

Each format offers a unique configuration.
