Alt-pop icon Gus Dapperton�s vast and ambitious album Henge builds a new world � tugging the listeners between night and day, socializing and solitude. With �nearly 2 billion collective streams across his career � the Warwick, NY native constructed the album with the concept of entering an underworld as the sun goes down and trying to get home before dawn�or risk being stuck in a time loop. Sonically the album delivers a contemporary eclectic sprawl, at times landing between 80�s new-wave and 70�s funk. Collaborators include Cruel Santino, Ocean Vuong, and BENEE � who Dapperton reunites with musically following their double-platinum viral hit �Supalonely� which has amassed over 1 billion streams. Dapperton�s music maintains the intimacy that made his previous offerings so resonant � including singles Horizons, Wet Cement, and Don�t Let Me Down.�

Since announcing their arrival with debut album in 1991, Blur went on to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with six successive UK #1 albums and a string of Top 10 singles, including two No 1s, helping to propel the band to mass popularity at home and abroad. One of the biggest British bands of the last three decades, Blur have released eight studio albums and collected ten NME Awards, six Q Awards, five BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and played live to millions of devoted fans across the globe.

Whilst they are an iconic band, the new music truly feels like they have re-invented their sound for 2023 and we should really amplify the commercial viability and youthful leaning sound to reach new audiences.

The album is truly incredible body of work which is beautifully layered, with real stand-out singles which is understandably described by the band as one of their best creations.

But Here We Are is the new album from Foo Fighters, and marks the bands return after a year of staggering losses, personal introspection and bittersweet remembrances. A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have endured recently, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, the album opens with �Rescued,� the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.

But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band�s new life. Sonically channeling the naivet� of Foo Fighters� 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.�

Rancid - the legendary Bay Area punk rockers are back with their 10th studio album, Tomorrow Never Comes on Epitaph Records. Emerging from the blue-collar swamps of Berkeley, California, Rancid has now been a living, breathing punk rock band for over a quarter century.�

Back in 1991, after the demise of their much beloved and still influential first band, Operation Ivy, founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) decided to do the impossible � start an even better band. Thus, Rancid. Signing with Epitaph Records, the band released their first album, �Rancid,� in 1993. Shortly thereafter, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined the band and they went on to release incredible records from �Let�s Go.� (1994) to their classic - platinum selling ��And Out Come The Wolves.� (1995). Drummer Branden Steineckert joined the band in 2003, cementing the line-up that rocks out till this day.

Seeing Rancid live is a life changing experience and steady touring is in the plan for 2023, kicking off in Las Vegas at the legendary Punk Rock Bowling Festival in late May - the band will hit Europe in June and the rest of the world soon after.�

Through it all, Rancid has remained fiercely independent, never losing their loyalty to community or each other. Their music confronts political and social issues, while balancing personal tales of love, loss, and heartbreak with attitude. Rancid gives their listeners a community where everyone can belong. By carrying on the traditions and spirit of the original punk rock bands that came before, Rancid has become a legend and inspiration to punk bands that have come after. They are the living embodiment of East Bay punk. And if you don�t know all this by now -- you�re not playing their music loud enough!

Avenged Sevenfold�s new album, Life Is But A Dream is a timeless work of art that blurs genres. Best served as a whole and consumed en masse to truly appreciate its musical breadth and sonic depth, it marks their boldest statement and most revolutionary work to date. Written and recorded over the span of 4 years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and Avenged Sevenfold in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, PA. Inspired by Albert Camus� The Stranger, the album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming. Immerse into this experience�

A collection of unreleased songs from Kenny Rogers' archives that tells the story of the love, life, loss and faith between Kenny and his wife, Wanda, and their two children. The album features the long sought after "Goodbye" written by Lionel Richie, interpretations of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and "I Wish It Would Rain" originally recorded by The Temptations, and "Tell Me That You Love Me" a lost duet between Kenny and Dolly Parton.

An indie pop duo whose music has a cool retro vibe buoyed by smooth melodies, a naturalistic sound, and warm harmonies, Purr is a collaboration between songwriters, musicians, and longtime friends Eliza Barry Callahan and Jack Staffen. The two previously worked together as Jack + Eliza, but while that project emphasized spare and stripped-down accompaniment, Purr�s recordings feature a fuller sound with a larger palette of instrumental flavors that often references �60s pop. Purr introduced themselves to the world with a 2018 single, �Bad Advice� b/w �Painted Memory,� that showed off their talents as both writers and vocalists, and they further refined their style on their first full-length album, 2020�s Like New and continue that on forthcoming album Who Is Afraid Of Blue?

To make it, the duo teamed up with their close friend, producer Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, The Killers), whom they worked with on �Like New.� They went to his North Hollywood studio, a small building behind his home. This was during Omicron, so they kept recording small, just the three of them in a room for most of the time. Programmed drums on an 808, that kind of thing. While they recorded, they screened movies. Ranging from Barbara Loden�s Wanda, to Paul Thomas Anderson�s Magnolia, to Dr. Strange and The Avengers. It all provided texture to the songs. Like making a score. �It�s a really hermetic record,� says Staffen, �which ended up feeling really special.�

Sonically, Who Is Afraid Of Blue? isn�t beholden by genre. It is an omnivorous record�you can hear glimmers of Aimee Mann, Radiohead, the Cocteau Twins which is fitting because Blue is in some ways a record of their process of falling in love with music all over again.

Who Is Afraid Of Blue? also exists lightly in conversation with a short novel Callahan wrote (forthcoming via Catapult, 2024), an auto-fiction document of a woman losing her hearing. And all of it comes back to those Newman works: Purr makes music that functions like those large-scale paintings so very saturated with color. Blue is a vast record, with lyrics that bend towards abstraction. But make no mistake: in that abstraction there is intense clarity. Blue is blue: a color, a feeling, a signifier, a way of looking at the world.

In March 2020, Jack Johnson reached out to Lee �Scratch" Perry to produce a dub remix album based on Jack�s�most loved recordings. On August 29, 2021, the project was brought to a halt as Scratch departed this physical world.�In 2022, Jack and Subatomic Sound System, Perry�s band of the last decade, connected directly and discovered they�had all the pieces to bring Lee �Scratch� Perry�s three creations to completion. The LP also features dubs from�Dennis Bovell, Scientist, Mad Professor, Nightmares on Wax, and more. Indie Exclusive Milky White LP.

On Last Man Dancing, Jake Shears turns his lifelong love affair with club culture into his most ambitious pop music to date. The album was brought to vivid life by Jake Shears and a close crew of collaborators, including head-turning features from Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda, Iggy Pop, Amber Martin, and a pre-Renaissance turn from the iconic Big Freedia.

Shadow Kingdom presents Dylan performing revelatory 21st century versions of songs from his storied back catalog � including fan favorites like �Forever Young� and �It�s All Over Now, Baby Blue,� and deep catalog gems like �Queen Jane Approximately� and �Wicked Messenger.� Originally reinterpreted for an exclusive streaming film event, which aired in July 2021, Shadow Kingdom will now be available on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms for the first time.� The album's setlist includes 13 original songs handpicked by Dylan for his Shadow Kingdom performance plus the closing instrumental, "Sierra's Theme."

Closing Time foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues, and folk styles that�would come to be associated with Waits. It is on this debut album that Waits performs enduring classics of his career �Ol� 55� (famously covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking �Martha� and the gentle acoustic folk of �I Hope�That I Don�t Fall In Love With You�. Reissued for the first time as a double LP to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landmark debut with newly half speed mastering at Abbey Road Studios.

Brooklyn bedroom-pop trailblazers Beach Fossils' new album Bunny is a triumphant return for one of the 2010s most influential NYC bands. Bunny is a precise blend of the luscious dream-pop atmospheres they notoriously honed on their earliest projects, the post-punk vigor expressed on Clash The Truth, and the warm sophisticated songwriting of Somersault. Composer Dustin Payseur peppers the album equally�with descriptions of the joy of fatherhood and the existential pleasure of smoking cigarettes out of a car window�with friends --�Bunny features Beach Fossils' most personal lyrics to-date.

Colin McCann didn�t pick up a guitar for nearly ten years. The�Northern-California-based songwriter, previously performing�under Long Dog Bird, had been creating music with longtime�friend and collaborator Brian Gossman for much of their adult�lives with early-00s Baltimore-based band Wilderness. So what�would cause such a stagnant period? And how could McCann�find his way back to the joy that music had once so easily�conjured? The answer was to go back to the very beginning,�where the kinetic forces that urged McCann to make music in�the first place could emerge once again. But first, he had to�make space in his internal world; a kind of silence where he�could hear the exhale of his past, and the blossoming of a new�song.�

That blossoming would soon become the first songs for�McCann�s latest project Vulture Feather. The band�s debut�album�Liminal Fields exists on an intangible plane: a crack in�the concrete, a gauze between worlds. For as long as McCann�can recall, he�s been using music as a vehicle to try and�connect with an underlying, indescribable nature that only the�sonic world seems to be able to reach. �There�s a feeling of�ecstasy that comes when one merges with music,� he says.��It�s what calls us all back again and again to listen, to sing, and�to play.� McCann had been striving to reach this outlying�environment throughout his career, often stretching in ways�that eventually came to negatively impact his life, and his�health.

7 Inch includes a studio version of the track 'We're Gonna Get There In The End' and an acoustic version of 'Pretty Boy'

Autographed Color LP

�More than anything, I wanted to make an album that was generous, that was useful,� says Ben Folds. �I want you to finish this record with something you didn�t have when you started.� Indeed, Folds� masterful new collection, What Matters Most, isn�t so much a statement as it is an offering, an open hand reaching out to all those wounded and bewildered by a world that seems to make less and less sense every day. Recorded in East Nashville with co-producer Joe Pisapia, the album marks Folds� first new studio release in eight years, and it�s a bold, timely, cinematic work, one that examines the tragic and the absurd in equal measure as it reckons with hope and despair, gratitude and loss, identity and perspective. The songs are bittersweet here, hilarious at times, but often laced with a quiet sense of longing and dread: a text message goes unanswered; an old classmate descends into the dark depths of internet conspiracies; a relationship unravels in the middle of a lake. And yet, taken as a whole, the result is an undeniably joyful record that refuses to succumb to the weight of the world around it, an ecstatic reminder of all the beauty and promise hiding in plain sight for anyone willing (and present enough) to recognize their moments as they arrive.

Jenny Lewis� fifth solo album, Joy�All arrives June 9th. Joy�All finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town � and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records. While Joy�All pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration � from classic soul to �90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records � the album�s rich, intimate and warm live sound is the hallmark of eight-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb. Recorded at Nashville�s historic RCA Studio A, Joy�All includes new single �Psychos� and the previously released single �Puppy and a Truck.�

Niall Horan's `The Show' - his third solo album and first since 2020's chart-topping `Heartbreak Weather' - will be released on June 9, 2023. Preceded by its lead single "Heaven," the album matches the pure emotion of his globally beloved past work with a powerful new element of soul-searching reflection. Each vinyl copy of `The Show' includes a randomly selected print of a letter handwritten by Niall about a song from the album.

A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age -- and carry a certain amount of scars.

�There is something about boundaries on this record,� Isbell says. �As you mature, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you�re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.�

Weathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love, about change, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell�s fearsome 400 Unit, who�ve earned a place in the rock �n� roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers.

They make a big noise, as Isbell puts it, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit, he can be a guitar hero when he wants, and a conductor when he wants, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound.

�As we enter into The Age Of Pleasure, �Lipstick Lover� is our freeassmothafucka anthem inspired by f.a.m. for f.a.m. This is our oasis made with love, rooted in self acceptance, throbbing in self discovery, and signed with cherry red kisses from me to you. ���

Christine and the Queens presents his new album PARANO�A, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. Includes �To be honest� and guest appearances from Madonna and 070 Shake.

"�In Times New Roman...�, the 8th studio album from Queens of the Stone Age is raw, brutal & rough around the edges but with a refinement that reveals itself further with each successive listen � and QOTSA founder Joshua Homme�s lyrics are as witty and withering than ever. The results are instantly identifiable ; QOTSA�s sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song, a live in-a-room recording that showcases a band at the height of their creative powers.

�In Times New Roman...� is a party for the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between. One of the most important bands in recent rock history is B A C K but it�s no exaggeration to call this album a devastating rebirth."

Pure and uncompromising, devoid of gloss and fakery. High Top Mountain�s dozen instant classics evoke the sound of timeless country in its many guises and brings back the lyrical forthrightness and depth that permeated the music Simpson absorbed during his Kentucky childhood. Bonafide mountain hillbilly soul, as pure as you are going to find anywhere.

"In 2004 the Drive-By Truckers released what would become the best selling album in their illustrious catalog. The Dirty South is a concept album that examines the state of the South, and unveils the hypocrisy, irony, and tragedy that continues to exist. The album features live show staples like, �Tornadoes�, �Where The Devil Dont Stay� and �Puttin People On The Moon� as well as rarities like �Goode�s Field Road� and �Daddy�s Cup.�

The Complete Dirty South is a band-led rework of the original album. Principal member, Patterson Hood, took the reins and reimagined this record as it was originally intended. The complete version features resequenced audio, three additional tracks, four remixes along with updated vocals. The packaging comes with a perfect bound book featuring liner notes from Patterson Hood, track by track descriptions from Mike Cooley and Jason Isbell as well as never before seen photos along with updated artwork from the late Wes Freed.

�This �Director�s Cut� is the way it was always intended to be heard� - Patterson Hood"

Throughout the ten tracks in their new album Let There Be Music, you can�hear the spaciousness Bonny Doon allowed themselves since their 2018�sleeper cult-classic Longwave. Their latest musical journey is one that has�big payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone just�stumbling across the band for the first time. After extensively touring Longwave by supporting Band of Horses, Snail Mail and Waxahatchee, Lennox and�Colombo were invited by Katie Crutchfield to collaborate on Waxahatchee�s�critically acclaimed album Saint Cloud. �The experience raised the ceiling on�our imagination,� Colombo said.

Soon after, Colombo and Kmiecik, whose steady percussion and devotion to�the songs creates a container for the indelible guitar lines, both entered a time�of serious healing, Jake tending to complications of his Crohn�s disease and�Bobby to a brain injury and undiagnosed Lyme disease. While these detours of�doctors� appointments and experimental care were taking place, the members of Bonny Doon were also playing on Waxahatachee�s Saint Cloud tour.�These obstacles and commitments drew out the making of Let There Be Music�for several additional years, and in the process, redefined the record as an�achievement in perseverance for the band.

On their long-awaited third album, we get a glimpse into the pure joy of Bonny�Doon. The album serves as less of one conceptual story, and each song�as their own individual offerings of putting words to the ordinary experience�of being alive. The band is at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftly�explores new terrain. Let There Be Music is brimming with small truths - both�profound and mundane, comforting and difficult - and we are invited to revel in�them all.

Deer Tick�s first new body of work since 2017, Emotional Contracts is their most collaborative to date, and sees all four members operating at peak songwriter power. Produced by Dave Fridmann, the 10-song set features guest musicians like Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and background vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews, Vanessa Carlton, Kam Franklin, Angela Miller, and Sheree Smith. Deer Tick�s ATO Records debut adds an even greater vitality to their feverish collection of timeless rock-and-roll.

�Several times, as I listened to M. Ward�s Supernatural Thing, I asked myself what year it�was. Was it 1952, and was I listening to a track from the Harry Smith Anthology? Was it�1972, and was I eavesdropping on the recording session for After the Gold Rush?�No, it�s 2023, and M. Ward is one of the special contemporary artists who invite such�questions. Ward has clearly mastered the whole vocabulary of American popular music�and made serious decisions about how to employ it for his own ends. What Ward shares�with Harry Smith�s artists and Neil Young is a context of musical and human values:�authenticity and intimacy. Supernatural Thing�s original songs sound freshly pulled from�the ground, with a little earth sticking to them. Ward�s lyric delivery has that slight rawness�the ear loves, and his voice has quiet dignity and great tenderness. Supernatural Thing is�an open-hearted, inviting album.�

The album�s guest stars � First Aid Kit, Shovels & Rope, Scott McMicken, Neko Case,�Jim James, others � enliven the album with surprises. On �Too Young to Die,� the women�s voices in First Aid Kit spread a light frosting over the melody, and their Beach Boys-like chorus on �Engine 5� makes the song sound like an instant hit. Eight of the album�s�ten songs are Ward originals. There�s an unusual Bowie choice, �I Can�t Give Everything�Away� from Blackstar, and a live rendition of Daniel Johnston�s �Story of an Artist.���-By James Cushing

Both as a solo artist and as one-half of She & Him, M. Ward became one of the defining�voices of the American indie landscape in the 2000s, earning fans and critical acclaim�for his distinctive brand of breezy West Coast Americana which pulled from folk, country,�blues, pop, and experimental indie rock elements. Ward established himself with warm,�analog-minded releases like 2003�s Transfiguration of Vincent and 2006�s Post-War before joining forces with singer/actress Zooey Deschanel to form the highly successful indie�pop duo She & Him in 2008. Over the following decade, Ward split his time between projects, releasing a 2009 album with indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, several high-profile�albums with Deschanel including She & Him�s Columbia-issued 2014 set Classics, and�critically acclaimed solo releases like 2009�s Hold Time, 2012�s A Wasteland Companion,�and 2018�s What a Wonderful Industry. Ward kicked off the next decade with a deeply�atmospheric set called Migration Stories and a Billie Holiday covers album Think of Spring�most recently.

Tommy Prine�s debut album �This Far South'' coming June 23, 2023 is not only a long awaited introduction but a testimony to Prine�s 20�s and the loss, love, and growth that has defined them. Co-produced by close friend and kindred musical spirit, Ruston Kelly, and beloved Nashville engineer and producer, Gena Johnson, the album is rich and dynamic from cathartic jams to nostalgic storytelling.

It wasn�t until Prine reached his mid-twenties, though, that he considered a career of his own in music and began to share with others the songs he wrote in private. His songs were quickly met with excitement and enthusiasm, which sonically brings together a colorful patchwork of musical influences and lyrically explores existential questions and emotional experiences.

The album�s title track, �This Far South'' marks a turning point in Prine�s life as he found himself struggling to escape a dark, aimless period. He ultimately found the courage to act on choices that would see him to the other, brighter, side.

�There were several years where I felt without purpose, spent all my time partying, and just existing. I found myself at a fork in the road and chose the better path, and in that moment, I swore I would never be This Far South again.�

Grief is a major throughline of Prine�s current work.� In 2017, Prine lost his best friend to an overdose.

�Since then, I have lost some more friends and have others who are still navigating the ups and downs of struggles with drug abuse.�

His song, �Letter To My Brother�,� was written as a message to the friends he�s lost, those in Recovery, and to friends who are still struggling.

He still grapples with the passing of his father in April of 2020.� �The world lost one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but I lost my dad.�� Prine bears the loss of his father and the memories he carries for others on the track, �By The Way�.

�When I'm playing certain songs, I can literally look out in the crowd and tell who else has lost their dad,� he says. �I can immediately tell which people have experienced, specifically, losing their father. They'll come up and tell me afterwards, and I'll be like, �Yeah, like, I figured that this conversation was going to happen,� because I could see their reaction. It�s been really powerful to see real-deal evidence that grief is a shared experience, and that suffering is a shared experience between humans.�

Prine capped off 2022 with his first solo tour across the United States. He was heavily involved with You Got Gold, an event series in Nashville honoring the life and songs of John Prine, and performed at AmericanaFest as an official showcasing artist.� He also debuted two original songs, �Ships in the Harbor� and �Turning Stones�.

�Ships in the Harbor� is a tender meditation on impermanence and change, with Prine communicating the universal experience of loss through poetic observations of the seemingly mundane.� The song found its way onto a series of editorial playlists including Spotify�s Fresh Folk playlist and Amazon�s Fresh Folk & Ameriana playlist.� It was also praised by a number of outlets including Billboard, Garden & Gun, and Saving Country Music who wrote, �With one song, Tommy Prine has already accomplished what many musicians and songwriters work their entire careers to accomplish, which is to make such an indelible emotional connection with an audience.�

This year, alongside his own runs of headline shows, Prine opened for Tyler Childer on his �Send In The Hounds Tour� in London.� He was also named one of Amazon Music�s 2023 Breakthrough Artists to Watch.

�I feel like I've learned more about myself in the last year and a half than I ever have in my life,� Prine says. �And I think that speaks a lot to doing something that I'm passionate about. I love and respect the craft. Just hitting the road and doing what so many people before me have done and will continue to do, it's really resonated with me. I think it's transformed me into the person that I am meant to be.�

RSD Essential 039 * The Avett Brothers' 2007 release "Emotionalism" is the album that caught the attention of legendary producer Rick Rubin and got him to sign the band to their first major studio. "Emotionalism" also was their first album to crack the charts. Full of new Folk, Blues and Bluegrass riffs for a modern world, it is a lively take on everything from romance to paranoia. Of course, they still kick in some solid Rock 'N' Roll for good measure.

GRAMMY-winning global superstar Kelly Clarkson is set to release her highly anticipated tenth studio album chemistry, arriving June 23rd, 2023. On her most personal album to date, these songs explore the arc of a relationship. About the album, Kelly says �having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming, feeling. It�s like you have no choice in the matter. You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down.�

Bobbie Nelson�s musical career dates back to the 1940s. Naturally gifted on the piano, she played in churches, revival tents, concert halls and honky-tonks, eventually joining her brother Willie Nelson�s Family Band in the early �70s. ��Amanda Shires says: "Much of my path seemed possible because I saw a woman working and making a career of music at a young age, and that woman was Bobbie Nelson.� Loving You is a collection of songs the duo have played and treasured their entire lives.�

Produced by Chris Thomas (Roxy Music, Sex Pistols, Pretenders, Wings), �Empty Glass� was Townshend�s next solo release appearing in April 1980. The songs predominantly deal with issues Townshend was struggling with at the time, including the death of Keith Moon, the Who�s former drummer.

These limited-edition black vinyl versions have been mastered by long-time Who engineer Jon Astley and cut for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios with a half-speed mastering technique which produces a superior vinyl cut and are packaged in original sleeves with obi strips and certificates of authenticity. �Empty Glass� features a full-colour inner beg with full lyrics and a 300mm x 600mm poster.

�Rough Mix� was initially released in September 1977 while The Who were on hiatus and was a collaboration with Small Faces bassist the late Ronnie Lane and features contributions from Who bassist John Entwistle, Eric Clapton, and Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts amongst others.

These limited-edition black vinyl versions have been mastered by long-time Who engineer Jon Astley and cut for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios with a half-speed mastering technique which produces a superior vinyl cut and are packaged in original sleeves with obi strips and certificates of authenticity. �Rough Mix� is presented in a gatefold sleeve.

Three-time Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams will release her highly anticipated new album Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart on June 30th (Highway 20 Records/Thirty Tigers). 2023 will be a special year for Williams: she turned 70 in January and on April 25th will release her long-awaited memoir Don�t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You (Crown, a division of Penguin Random House LLC).

The last couple years have been challenging for Williams. In 2020, a tornado damaged her new home in Nashville, followed two weeks later by the beginning of the COVID lockdown. Later that November, Williams suffered a stroke that partially impaired some of her motor skills on the left side of her body, forcing her to learn to walk again and taking away her ability to play the guitar.�Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart�marks a triumphant return from one of our most revered artists and songwriters. Williams is in great form as heard on her new single �New York Comeback,� written by Williams, Tom Overby and Jesse Malin, with Patti Scialfa and Bruce Springsteen on backing vocals.

Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart�was produced by Williams, Overby and Ray Kennedy, who also engineered. The album includes guest backing vocals by Jeremy Ivey, Jesse Malin, Buddy Miller, Angel Olsen, Margo Price and Tommy Stinson.

Wild Creatures is a career retrospective album containing twenty-three of Neko Case�s most impactful tracks from her discography, and will now be available on CD and 2x LP.

Gathering power year after year, Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style, where their ghost can appear any minute. When her voice jumps an octave, it�s almost visible, like sparks at night. �I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice,� she says, �but I just wanted to do it so bad.�

The Vinyl configurations include: 2 LPs with printed inner sleeves, in a Gate- fold jacket.

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.

In March 2021, Grouplove returned with their surprise fifth album, This Is This.

Acclaimed indie-folk quartet Darlingside announces the July 28^th release of their anticipated new album Everything is Alive (Thirty Tigers).� Everything is Alive is the follow up to the band�s celebrated 2020 release Fish Pond Fish, and while Fish Pond Fish celebrated the unity and harmony of multi-instrumentalists Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft, Everything is Alive showcases the individuality of each band member.� And while their talent for lush harmonies and intricate songwriting has distinguished �Darlingside throughout their acclaimed career, the evolution to Everything is Alive inspires listeners with a new degree of intimacy and nuance.

The recording of Everything is Alive continued in the pandemic-fueled music style of Fish Pond Fish, with band members creating separately to contribute to a sum greater than its parts. Three years later, things have changed in not only the world but also in the lives of Darlingside�s members; themes of grief, loss and hope permeate throughout the album. �First single �Eliza I See� recalls Paseltiner�s perception of the passage of time as he experiences it with his young child.� He chronicles the creation of �Eliza I See� as songs he made for her at the beginning of the pandemic saved as voice memos, and when rediscovering them a year later they took on a whole new meaning. He notes. �It deals with the joy, but also pain, that comes with change, and the excitement of gaining something new while necessarily losing something at the same time. This feeling is especially pronounced for me with my daughter because she changes so quickly.�

Everything is Alive was produced and recorded by the band and mixed by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine) in 2021.� And while each band member contributes songs individually, Everything is Alive is still a classic Darlingside effort, filled with vivid imagery and lyrical creativity. ��The album opens with the hopeful �Green Light� before moving into the many facets of loss on �Lose the Keys.� �All the Lights in the City� is a rumination of life�s big choices with one�s partner, �while �Darkening Hour� offers a solemn tone about moving in and out of darkness. The exquisite harmonies on �How Long Again� expose the sadness of America�s gun violence, and �Sea Dogs� meditates on death, if it is final or a rebirth to another form.

In addition, while the album features all four band members, the Everything is Alive tour has evolved into a new configuration. ��While a critical piece of the band and recording process, Senft will relinquish his road duties and Darlingside will tour with a new structure, featuring the album�s drummer Ben Burns, singer Molly Parden, and others.� Tour dates will be announced shortly.

Darlingside�s first release was 2015�s Birds Say, which announced the band�s arrival as an eclectic, intelligent and dynamic foursome. Media across the board praised the release, including American Songwriter, Paste, Rolling Stone Country, NPR Music, The New Yorker and The Huffington Post, who called it, �...one of the great albums released this year.� Extralife followed, building the band�s fanbase and continuing to earn raves. Fish Pond Fish was released in 2020 to additional critical praise and the band shared the album with a beautifully produced series of livestreams while touring ceased during the pandemic.�

No matter how drastically life may change, tomorrow wipes the slate clean and heralds a new beginning. All of the tumult dissolves into dawn, and everything starts over. SUSTO�chronicle seasons of transformation within their distinct, diverse, and dynamic breed of rock �n� roll enlivened in broad strokes of classic songwriting, storytelling and dalliances of sonic unpredictability. The band�led by frontman and songwriter Justin Osborne�explore change physically, emotionally, and spiritually on their fifth full-length LP, My Entire Life.

�It tells a story of one of the most intense transformations in my entire life,� says Justin. �It feels like closing one chapter and turning the page on the next. There are repercussions and ripples from change that will affect me forever. It�s essentially about my life and the pain and beauty in it."
