![Mac Miller - NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert [Translucent Blue LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/87/4240287-3030039.jpg "NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert [Translucent Blue LP]")
Mac Miller's Swimming marked a pivotal point in the late artist's career. His devotion to constant sonic exploration and artistic reinvention had already been well-documented prior to the album's release -- the quantum leap from his Billboard chart-topping debut Blue Slide Park to his sophomore album Watching Movies with the Sound Off, his tour de force as a producer on his 2014 mixtape Faces and ability to direct a full band on 2016's The Divine Feminine were evidence of his steadfast commitment to growth in his craft. Yet upon its release, Swimming was immediately understood by both his fans and critics alike as the high water mark of his career: an album that perfectly showcased the musical chops he had developed vocally and instrumentally over the course of a decade. This understanding was reinforced when, just 3 days after the album's release, NPR Music published a Tiny Desk Concert where Miller and band performed album cuts "Small Worlds," "What's The Use?" featuring regular collaborator Thundercat and "2009" with a full band. The now-iconic performance remains one of the highest streamed performances in the history of NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series and is now available on vinyl for the first time.

![Sleater-Kinney - Little Rope [Indie Exclusive limited Edition Sea Blue LP]](https://img.broadtime.com/418467256925:300.webp "Little Rope [Indie Exclusive limited Edition Sea Blue LP]")
Sleater-Kinney returns with Little Rope, one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band’s 30-year career. On the surface, Little Rope's ten songs veer from spare to anthemic, catchy to deliberately hard-turning. But beneath that are perhaps the most complex and subtle arrangements of any Sleater-Kinney record, and a lyrical and emotional compass pointed firmly in the direction of something both liberating and terrifying: the sense that only way to gain control is to let it go.

![Aesop Rock - Integrated Tech Solutions [White 2LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/53/4248453-3040448.jpg "Integrated Tech Solutions [White 2LP]")
A tech company's "senior spirit guide" finally comes to the defense of the "financially unsuccessful" Vincent van Gogh; wonders of the natural world are reimagined as "muster points for brainstorming innovators"; the "artificial char lines" on fast-food burgers are cited as if signs of the apocalypse. For the better part of three decades, Aesop Rock has used the syntax of the moment to pinpoint the fault lines in that moment's supposedly solid foundation. With his tenth album, Integrated Tech Solutions, Aes wields insidious corporatespeak as a tool to pry that parasitic worldview away from the parts of life that truly matter.
A concept album about an organization offering "lifestyle- and industry-specific applications designed to curate a desired multi-experience," Integrated Tech Solutions picks apart the charlatan language that hears app inventors put themselves on continuums starting with cavemen and continuing through da Vinci. On "Mindful Solutionism," the wheel evolves seamlessly into modern agriculture-and then into atomic bombs, Agent Orange, cigarettes, and surveillance cameras. In a rare moment of transparency, the engineers Aes give voice to sum up this spiral in just a few words: "We cannot be trusted with the stuff that we come up with."
Appropriately, the album sounds like the past and future at once. Largely self-produced, Integrated Tech Solutions catches Aes at his leanest and most innovative, leveraging "Solutionism"'s careening bounce against the wistful "By the River" or the slow creep of "Salt and Pepper Squid." The effect is a record that sounds itself like an organism growing, mutating, hurtling toward profitability-and then destruction. As fans have come to expect, Aes is cuttingly funny and slyly profound at once, whether recounting a childhood restaurant run-in with Mr. T ("100 Feet Tall") or quipping, on "Pigeonometry," that "white dove is a pigeon-you motherfuckers is bigots." At the same time, Integrated Tech Solutions is working on another parallel project: tracing the sprawl of modernity and cutting directly to its core. "I've been doing laps of the lost worlds," he raps on "All City Nerve Map," sounding at once wearied and reinvigorated. "I can draw a map to the raw nerve."
![Sufjan Stevens - Javelin [Lemonade LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/21/4238521-3031980.jpg "Javelin [Lemonade LP]")
Over the course of his career, Sufjan Stevens has blurred distinctions between the major and the minor, between the details that color our existence and the big events that frame our lives. He has turned historical footnotes of States into kaleidoscopic pop, and rendered the immeasurable grief of loss with intimacy and grace.
His new album Javelin—Sufjan’s first solo album of songs since 2020’s The Ascension and his first in full solo singer-songwriter mode since 2015’s Carrie & Lowell—bridges all these approaches. Sufjan uses the quietness of a solitary confession to ask universal questions in songs we can share communally. Accompanying the CD and LP formats of the album is a 48-page book of art and essays. With a series of meticulous collages, cut-up catalog fantasies, puff-paint word clouds, and iterative color fields, Sufjan builds order from seeming chaos and vice versa. And toward the middle of it all are 10 short essays by Sufjan, another window into the process that informed Javelin.

With over 30.5B streams to date, Grammy-nominated Diamond-Selling Rap Superstar Lil Uzi Vert flaunts a vision and fashion sense just as loud as his futuristic sound. Igniting the scene with their own fire, they have exploded into a hip-hop rockstar and become one of today’s biggest and most influential artists.
Following the ‘Red & White’ EP (2022), Uzi has made an explosive return last fall with the Jersey club inspired anthem ‘Just Wanna Rock’, leading to his highly-anticipated new album ‘Pink Tape’.
Over the years, the rap superstar has also collaborated with the likes of Justin Bieber, Tyler The Creator, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Kanye West, Metro Boomin, 21 Savage, Gunna, Lil Durk, Meek Mill, Pharell Williams, The Weekend and many more.
On 'Pink Tape' Lil Uzi Vert fuses his rock and hip-hop influences, stretching their sound in new directions.

![Cat Power - Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition White 2LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/82/4252082-3045184.jpg "Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition White 2LP]")
Last November in London, Cat Power took the stage at Royal Albert Hall and delivered a song-for-song recreation of one of the most fabled and transformative live sets of all time. Held at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966—but long known as the “Royal Albert Hall Concert” due to a mislabeled bootleg—the original performance saw Bob Dylan switching from acoustic to electric midway through the show, drawing ire from an audience of folk purists and forever altering the course of rock-and-roll. In her own rendition of that historic night, the artist otherwise known as Chan Marshall inhabited each song with equal parts conviction and grace and a palpable sense of protectiveness, ultimately transposing the anarchic tension of Dylan’s set with a warm and luminous joy. Now captured on the live album Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, Marshall’s spellbinding performance both lovingly honors her hero’s imprint on history and brings a stunning new vitality to many of his most revered songs.

![Alan Palomo - World of Hassle [2LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/94/4223994-3044288.jpg "World of Hassle [2LP]")
"Alan Palomo (fka Neon Indian) is making his return this year with the brand new album World of Hassle. As Neon Indian, Alan most recently released VEGA INTL. Night School in 2015 and Era Extraña in 2013. His 2009 debut record Psychic Chasms not only earned the musician a spot on numerous year-end lists, but assisted the forming of a genre that, though known by a few names now (hypnagogic pop, glo-fi, chillwave), summoned a very unique and specific electro-mangled sound.
Palomo’s World of Hassle is a Pynchonesque place, packed with characters and situations rendered in dreamily absurdist strokes—guerilla freedom fighters camped out in a Rainforest Cafe in “The Wailing Mall,” a crumbling ex-pop star in “The Return of Mickey Milan,” the Leisure Suit Larry-does-Ibiza fantasy of “Nudista Mundial ’89” (featuring Mac DeMarco, who hosted some of the album’s sessions in his home studio). It’s parody, sure—of rock star ego trips, the mall-ification of America, and our own self-obsession, even on the brink of apocalypse—but it’s also dead serious, the sound of history repeating itself as the Doomsday Clock clicks past its Reagan-era maximum and nuclear anxiety comes back into style along with digital synthesizers and sax solos. The deeper it pulls you into its own uncanny reality, the clearer it becomes how thin the borders are between Alan Palomo’s World of Hassle and our own."
![Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Robin Egg Blue LP w/ Baby Pink Slipcase]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/09/4227109-3029061.jpg "The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Robin Egg Blue LP w/ Baby Pink Slipcase]")
![Devendra Banhart - Flying Wig [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Blue LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/08/4225808-3000907.jpg "Flying Wig [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Blue LP]")
"Flying Wig" is an album of recurrent dualities; a can of paradoxes, a box of worms. The pine-surrounded cabin studio where Banhart was “constantly listening to The Grateful Dead” somehow birthed something slick, city pop-adjacent and eno-esque. It’s the actualisation of a “precious friendship” with producer Cate Le Bon - a coming together prophesied by the mirror-image titles of their early solo albums (Banhart’s “Oh Me Oh My” / Le Bon’s “Me Oh My”), a tenderness built on crude haircuts (“we finally met, soon after she was cutting my hair with a fork and that was that”) and home-made tattoos.
Bluegrass is a brand new studio album that captures a dozen classic Willie Nelson compositions--including "On the Road Again," "Yesterday's Wine," "Still is Still Moving to Me," "Good Hearted Woman" and more--freshly interpreted by Willie and an ensemble of crack players. In a seven decade career that has seen him explore genres from one end of the musical spectrum to the other, this is his first full album dedicated to genre. Willie and longtime producer Buddy Cannon, picked personal and fan favorite compositions from across his career to perform anew for this salute to the Appalachian old-time string band music which profoundly influenced Willie's songwriting sensibilities and the direction of American country music in general. Using his own catalog as source material, Willie chose songs combining the kind of strong melodies, memorable storylines and tight ensemble-interplay found in traditional bluegrass interpretations of the roots of American folk songs. With Bluegrass, Willie uncovers new truths in his own songs.
![Will Johnson - No Ordinary Crown [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Blue LP]](https://mediacdn.aent-m.com/prod-img/200/99/4198999-2962637.jpg "No Ordinary Crown [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Blue LP]")
Will Johnson’s ninth solo album, No Ordinary Crown, hums with palpable motion. Travelers, runners and conductors fill its lyrics, and gesticulating storms and emotional highs and lows seep through the instinctual quality of its rock ’n roll performances. It’s also cabled by ephemeral momentum.
The songs were conceived in stolen moments and brief windows of time between the responsibilities of family and a multi-hyphenate career. The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, painter and novelist describes the demo process as “fairly jagged,” a gathering and stitching of audio snippets recorded via cell phone and dictaphone over a year and half. “I finalized the songson short tours where I could hear my thoughts a bitmore clearly,” he says.

The indie exclusive of STONE LP is a ruby red LP housed in a heavyweight printed inner sleeve inside of a spot UV gatefold jacket with black flood and a four-panel lyric booklet. All artwork by John Dyer Baizley. Produced by Baroness, mixed by Joe Barresi, mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. Only available at independent record stores.
Grammy-award nominated heavy rock outfit Baroness mark their much-anticipated return with new album, STONE. Their sixth record overall and third released via Abraxan Hymns, STONE finds the Philadelphia-based quartet of John Baizley (guitars/vocals/illustration), Gina Gleason (guitars), Nick Jost (bass), and Sebastian Thomson (drums) streamlining the momentous multi-genre vocabulary of its critically-acclaimed predecessor Gold & Grey (2019). This is still very much Baroness—just refocused for efficiency and rethought as a consequence of stability. STONE’s most prominent tracks, "Last Word,” “Beneath the Rose,” “Shine,” and “Anodyne," reflect thoughtfully, groove deeply, and refract tumult effortlessly. They, of course, rock.

Black Rainbows [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Red LP]
Vinyl: $29.98 Buy
Black Rainbows is a musical project inspired by the objects and artworks collected by Theaster Gates at the Stoney Island Arts Bank in Chicago. Situated at the Great Grand Crossing neighborhoods of Chicago's South Side, Stoney Island Arts Bank is a cathedral to Black Art, a curated collection of Black archives comprising books, sculpture, records, furniture and problematic objects from America's past. As well as being a site for archive, the Arts bank is also a place for convening. Bailey Rae attended The Black Artists Retreat there in 2017 and performed in the space.
Wide ranging in it's themes, Black Rainbows' subjects are drawn from encounters with objects in the Arts Bank. Taking us from the rock hewn churches of Ethiopia, to the journeys of Black Pioneers Westward, from Miss New York Transit Queen 1957, to how the sunset appears from Harriet Jacobs' loophole. Black Rainbows explores Black femininity, Spell Work, Inner Space/Outer Space, time collapse and ancestors, the erasure Black childhood and music as a vessel for transcendence. The project will be released in various iterations - live performances, books, visuals, lectures, exhibitions, and more. Sonically, the album is a multi-genre mix of the progressive R&B, neo soul sound that will be familiar to fans but it also contains rock, jazz and electronic elements. The album was produced by S.J. Brown and Corinne Bailey Rae.

Most of all, this series ignites both sides of the band’s magic: the warm, prismatic feeling of their albums and the bewitching energy of their performances.

Epitaph RecordsBuy Now From the meditative track “my own age” and breakbeat-backed, late ’90s-leaning “all my luck” to the lo-fi punk standout “ring in your ear” (featuring Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Courtney Pierre) and made-for-dashboard-drumming “89cc” (complete with a searing sax solo) the album is a testament to Hunny’s musical fluency and dedication to their craft. 
Yussef Dayes
Black Classical Music
NonesuchBuy Now The first official solo release of the acclaimed UK drummer, Yussef Dayes. Across 19 tracks, Black Classical Music melds the spirit of everything from 70s funk, reggae and Senegalese percussion while simultaneously nodding to furious dancefloor pacings of the soundsystem continuum. 
Oliver Tree
Alone In A Crowd
AtlanticBuy Now Alone In A Crowd brings back Tree’s Dadaist, “meta-humor” while continuing to explore and dissect the absurdity of modern culture, obsession with fame and social media. He asks us to reflect both the light and the darkness of human nature within popular culture, while holding a mirror and embracing the absurdity of it all. 
Pretenders
Relentless
ParlophoneBuy Now Arriving with the impulsiveness and attitude that at once defines the band’s eternal spirit, Relentless is a clearly defined snapshot of where The Pretenders are in 2023.

What's New 9-29-23
Label 51Pioneering feminist punk band Frightwig has returned with their latest album, We Need to Talk and a special bonus 7" single dedicated to their late but forever-present drummer Cecilia Kuhn who transcended this earthly plane in 2017. Since forming in San Francisco in 1983, Frightwig has had two objectives: Spread joy and smash the patriarchy.
Easy Eye SoundAll-new reissue of the critically acclaimed and long-out-of-print 2009 debut solo album from The Black Keys singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach. An intimate and underrated affair with shades of greazy rock & roll, blue-eyed soul, and bluegrass hollers. Reissued with new artwork and pressed from the original master.
Atlantic“Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes… everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded,” says Sheeran. “When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”
Kill Rock Stars NashvilleFeaturing a gamut of guests including GRAMMY Award-winners Billy Strings and Jerry Douglas, Queen of Time celebrates love and loss, but above all, the art of living as an unattainably-a vibrant, powerful woman who can share herself with the world, and yet define a mighty sense of inner self as well.
Normaltown RecordsAt its heart of The Howdies is a love for the hard scrabble heroes of country music’s early days and the freewheeling feeling of the Outlaw era. The musical styles of Appalachia and the old Blues come together to create a distinctly American art form – where the rules of musical tradition are often bent or even broken with a wink and a smile.
Metal BladeWhat happens when two Danes and a German walk into a studio loaded with HM-2 pedals, a knack for writing hooks as infectious as a rash, and a love of old-school death metal? As supergroup-of-sorts Asinhell reveals: the reinvention of Swedish melodeath in the modern era. Featuring members of Volbeat, Insidious Disease and Morgoth.
Blue Grape MusicThe Above is album number five and feels even more inventive, even more wide-ranging than anything Code Orange have released to date. It’s the work of creators who have a vision and a road-map – all be it off-the-beaten-path – of how to reach that destination. Another triumph and an album that will surrender its secrets slowly.
Metal BladeDespite Harm's Way's reputation for unrelenting brutality, Common Suffering surprises at several turns with quieter moments of well thought out songwriting that emphasize light and shade. It's their understanding of how to effectively orchestrate these dynamics that makes an already ironclad record feel infinitely more merciless.
Napalm RecordsOn the blazing heels of their highly-lauded 2021 debut album, KK’S Priest return to sin again. Here the powerhouse heavy metal amalgamation of iconic Judas Priest alum and GRAMMY Award winning/nominated musicians K.K. Downing and Tim “Ripper” Owens double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut’s catchy hooks and guitar wizardry.
Pure Noise RecordsRevered Atlanta rock 'n' roll duo '68 make their awaited return with their 4th full-length, Yes, and... The latest offering is their hardest rocking record to date, a sonic explosion of heavy riffs and frantic rhythm abound on the band's massively anticipated follow up to 2021's critically acclaimed Give One Take One.
Son of DavyThe Man From Waco saw the TX-based singer/songwriter reach dizzying new heights. On Nov 14th, 2022, Charley headed to Nashville, TN for his debut (and sold out) concert at the historic Nashville venue the Ryman Auditorium. These recordings capture the live energy and raw talent of one of modern music's best live performers.
Southeastern RecordsSoutheastern offers confessions, reflections, and promises that confront and make communion with those who have come before and remain with us still. Its twelve tracks represent an extended meditation on the concept articulated by another celebrated southern storyteller, author William Faulkner: "The past is never dead. It isn't even past."
RepublicThe Family Business compiles the Jonas Brothers’ hit singles together in one collection alongside two tracks from DNCE and four tracks from Nick Jonas’ solo albums. The release serves as a companion piece to their current live show dates (entitled “The Tour”) and their most recent studio release The Album
BMGLP has become one of the most internationally beloved singer-songwriters of their generation, skyrocketing with "Lost On You", a heart-penetrating folk ballad that hit #1 In 18 countries. Love Lines is LP's most luminous and heart-expanding work yet, influenced by the sundrenched expanse of California and a spectrum of Western-inspired sounds.
AtlanticMaroney gives a resounding “so be it!” that washes away the transgressions of time, while still being aware of what days gone by have made of him. After 40 minutes and 13 tracks, Ultrapure is as resonant in one's headphones as it is in Maroney’s headspace.
Virgin MusicAging’s minimalist piano ballads are darker and more contemplative than anything the Broken Social Scenester has released before. Across the 33-minutes can be found the spirit of Drew classics like “Lover’s Spit” and “Sweetest Kill,” but with a sense of sorrow rarely heard on previous material.
Century MediaIndustrial instigators 3TEETH return with another collection of angry, jagged diatribes. A skull-caving assault that edges their heaviness even further into the swirling abyss of nihilism and biting social commentary, Endex also continues a melodic evolution last heard on 2019's excellent Metawar. The impending doom never sounded so good.
Metal BladeSince 1988, Cannibal Corpse have been at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021 they raised the stakes again with their 15th album, Violence Unimagined, growing ever more complex and intense, and in 2023 they return with its successor, the equally monstrous Chaos Horrific, starting a new chapter in their legacy.
Ol’ Buddy RecordsThe American south isn't just Brent Cobb's home. It's his muse, too. A Georgia native, he fills his songwriting with the sounds and stories of an area that's been home to southern rockers, soul singers, country legends, and bluesmen. Cobb offers up his own version of “southern eclectic” with his newest album, Southern Star.
Yep Roc RecordsWritten with a series of friends including S. Carey, Madi Diaz, and Christian Lee Hutson, Avalanche is an achingly beautiful exploration of loss, resilience, and growth. The songs are deceptively serene here, layering Owen Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements.
BMGGlobal dancefloor queen Kylie Minogue moves the party from the shiny mirrorball disco to the sweaty, neon-lit club on the flawless Tension. Much like Disco, Tension is a master class in pop wizardry and escapist bliss. Releasing an album this expertly crafted and stunning in her fifth decade in the business is an absolute wonder to behold.
Yell House RecordsToward A Never Ending New Beginning is full of reflection and raw, unfiltered honesty that will most definitely connect with listeners on a deeper level. Combining electronic beats with subtle instrumentation, each song is sonically diverse and thoughtfully crafted, taking listeners on a journey of self-discovery.
Dead OceansPlaying country-inflected orchestral pop with sardonic wit and deep feeling, Mitski underlines why she’s one of the very best singer-songwriters working today. A disregard for the mainstream proves again to be Mitski’s strongest armour, as The Land… becomes her most sonically interesting full-length yet.
Century MediaSide A hosts Blood Incantation's signature crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals of the abyssal depths while Side B’s atmospheric synthesizers, haunting melodies, and otherworldly timbres will take you on a journey through the boundless expanse of space. A must-have for any fan of extreme metal or the avant-garde.
Earache RecordsPrimed to drop jaws with their monster hybrid of breathtaking garage rock rhythms, gargantuan choruses, unashamedly retro style and, above all, their dedication to making every live show an undeniable excuse to party, The Bites’ debut album Squeeze will be ready for rock fans to sink their teeth into on July 14th 2023.
Temporary Residence Ltd.End is perhaps the "grandest" Explosions album – seeing the Texas band further underline their credentials as rock’s finest instrumentalists with another offering of deep, emotive tracks. Although exploring endings, it feels like the band are far from done and will continue to evoke emotions long into the foreseeable future.
Virgin MusicSlayyyter’s second album sees her delving deeper into her pop stardom with an extravagant Los Angeles starlet persona centered around themes of fame, sex, femme fatales and celebrity obsession. Equally as vicious as it is vulnerable, the electrifying production of the concept album is set to elevate her status as a rising pop trailblazer.
Metal BladeThe champs of epic metal return with their first album since 2018’s Exile Amongst the Ruins and tenth overall. The new batch of material obsesses over endings and the concept of finality, filtering this preoccupation through Primordial’s long-established formula of galloping rippers and stately marches.
BloodshotLoveless’ trademark candidness and razor-sharp wit remain, but here her voice is wiser and more controlled. And while she holds onto a vintage country heart and a heartland rock soul, this album also presents something new and matured. Captivating and complex, it’s a triumphant moment from an artist who’s continuing their stride.
