This series ensures that these versions, and some of our favorite moments on stage, will live on.” As Consequence so accurately hailed, “it’s hard to imagine a musical experience that’s more enveloping and uplifting.” This is hearing a band at its peak.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
South Of Here [Indie Exclusive Iridescent Green LP]
Vinyl: $32.68 Buy
South of Here, the fourth full-length studio release from Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, reckons with a
lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring and soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and
resolve. Following Rateliff’s 2020 solo album, And It’s Still Alright, and The Night Sweats’ acclaimed 2021 release,
The Future, the new album blends both sides of his immense talent: emotionally potent, vivid storytelling and the
rugged, R&B revivalism that has powered the band to world-wide acclaim over the past decade. Iridescent Green
180g LP with die-cut O-card. Limited Edition. Indie Exclusive.
The strength of the Akira soundtrack lies in its unique blend of traditional Japanese instruments and futuristic electronic sounds. Yamashiro weaves together an eclectic mix of influences, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the dystopian and cyberpunk themes of the movie. The use of traditional chants, taiko drums, and shakuhachi flutes alongside electronic synthesizers and orchestral elements generates a hauntingly mesmerizing atmosphere that perfectly complements the visuals on screen. The composer also drew from the chants of noh, traditional Japanese theater. Combined with polyrhythmic drum machine beats and synths tuned to gamelan microtonal scales, these styles give a sense of ritualistic tension to the dystopian world of "Akira."

Now Hear This! - December 2024
Zach Bryan
The Great American Bar Scene
Warner RecordsBuy Now In barely five years, Zach Bryan has transformed from cult-roots road warrior (2020’s Elisabeth) to fast-rising country-adjacent renegade (2022’s American Heartbreak) to Number One hitmaker and voice-of-a-Gen-Z-generation storyteller (2023’s Zach Bryan). Zach might not offer much that he hasn't already, but his excellent songwriting continues to make it worth it. Silkroad Ensemble & Rhiannon Giddens
American Railroad
NonesuchBuy Now Four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the United States to uncover and uplift the stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and musics that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity. Rose
Rosie
AtlanticBuy Now A twangy, heartbreaker of a country record, and whatever physical anguish Whitney Rose may be in, she sings through it, finds strength and inspiration from it, and delivers in front of a crack group of Austin musicians. It’s like chicken soup for the soul, and Rosie‘s recipe here is especially efficacious. Neal Morse
No Hill For A Climber
Inside Out MusicBuy Now Iconic and prolific composer and musical collaborator in the progressive rock universe, Neal Morse brings a new project to the genre with Neal Morse & The Resonance – uniting local musicians from the Nashville area. It’s a fresh, creative, and entertaining album of classic melodic progressive rock. Ryan Bingham
Live At Red Rocks
Thirty Tigers / The Bingham Recording Co.Buy Now Known for his raw and emotive music, evocative storytelling, and trademark weather-beaten vocals – Bingham’s music defies classification with folk, blues, country and rock ‘n roll all part of the recipe. With Live at Red Rocks, Bingham teams up with The Texas Gentlemen for an electrifying sold out show, continuing his tradition of explosive and emotive live performances. Opeth
The Last Will And Testament
Reigning Phoenix MusicBuy Now Opeth go Miss Marple via Edgar Allen Poe on the prog-death-jazz metal odyssey that is The Last Will And Testament. It’s their most focused, disciplined piece of music to date and their heaviest work in more than 15 years – a fascinating, striving, and endlessly replayable return from the masters of Swedish progressive death metal. Inepsy
Rock ‘N’ Roll Babylon
TankcrimesBuy Now The debut album from Montreal's Mötorcharged Inepsy is a riotous shot of high-octane rock ‘n’ roll, fusing punk’s primal energy with vintage riffage. It's loud, brash, and unrefined in the best possible way, with gritty guitars and a relentless drive that recalls the rebellious spirit of ’70s garage and proto-punk. Infectious and feral. LISTEN HERE LISTEN HERE Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival
Songs For Sinners & Saints
Loma Vista RecordingsBuy Now The Run the Jewels rapper follows up last year’s Grammys-sweeping Michael with an album of soulful rewinds and combative new tracks addressing a tumultuous few months. The curveball third act of Michael Santiago Render’s hip-hop career has been no less surprising, nor exciting, to behold. -

Still Listening To...
Grant Green - Idle Moments - Blue Note Records
Grant Green - "Idle Moments" [Blue LP] Time and troubles seem to melt away during the fifteen enrapturing minutes of "Idle Moments," the opening track of Grant Green's sublime 1963 album of the same name. As the piece unhurriedly unfurls, all the unique colors of the ensemble present themselves with Green's soulful guitar joined by Duke Pearson's elegant piano, Bobby Hutcherson's crystalline vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw's reassuring upright bass, Al Harewood's subtle drums and Joe Henderson's magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest of this tremendous set, including the nimble Green original "Jean de Fleur," a bluesy take on John Lewis' MJQ standard "Django," and a driving performance of Pearson's original, "Nomad." Indie Exclusive Blue 180gram LP. Limited Edition.
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage - Blue Note Records
Herbie Hancock -"Maiden Voyage" [Blue LP] Even by the high-water marks set by Herbie Hancock's tremendous 1960s output for Blue Note, 1965's Maiden Voyage remains one of the pinnacle artistic achievements of the great pianist's career. Hancock is joined by his Miles David Quintet bandmates, Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) and George Coleman (tenor saxophone). The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of five original Hancock compositions, several of which have since become enduring standards of the jazz lexicon, including "Eye of the Hurricane," "Dolphin Dance" and the title track. Indie Exclusive 180gram Blue LP. Limited Edition.
