the LUNA pick(s)-of-the-moment...
>THOM YORKE - ANIMA (ORANGE INDIE VINYL) LP Thom Yorke's new solo album Anima was produced by Nigel Godrich. The album features 9 tracks, with an extra track exclusively on vinyl. “The third solo album from Thom Yorke is the first one that feels complete without his band behind him. It floats through the uneasy space between societal turmoil and internal monologue.” – Pitchfork (Best New Music)
>PURPLE MOUNTAINS - Purple Mountains (Black Edition Vinyl) LP (Drag City) After a decade in the wilderness, David Berman has returned to record-making - this time around as Purple Mountains, leaving his iconic Silver Jews brand to history. Fortunately for all the fans, he's retained his iconic songwriting style, with a new batch of tunes conveying an astonishing variety of 21st-century mid-life crises.
>>Prince – Originals 2xLP/2xLP+CD (WB) Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. A 15-track album featuring 14 previously unreleased recordings that illuminate the vital, behind-the-scenes role Prince played in other artists' careers. Several of the iconic songs found on Originals were considerable hits for the artists who recorded them. Sheila E.'s “The Glamorous Life” reached #1 on the dance charts in 1984, while the enormous success of “Manic Monday” propelled the single and its accompanying album, The Bangles' Different Light, to the #2 spot on the pop charts. [Deluxe purple vinyl pressing also available.]
LUNA music essentials...
>TYCHO - Weather (Indie-Exclusive Clear Edition Vinyl) LP A Bath Full of Ecstasy is the group’s definitive release, crystallising the sound they’ve become celebrated for – bridging euphoria and melancholy with colourful melodies, idiosyncratic vocalisations and pounding electronic pop rhythms.
>KHRUANGBIN - Hasta El Cielo (BLACK VINYL) LP + 7" (Dead Oceans) Globetrotting Texan trio Khruangbin release a dub version of their second album Con Todo El Mundo. The band's exotic, spacious, psychedelic funk aligns with the dub treatment particularly well. Includes two bonus dubs by renowned Jamaican producer Scientist.
>The Flaming Lips – King’s Mouth: Music And Songs CD/LP (WB) The Flaming Lips' fifteenth album King's Mouth follows the band's 2017 release, Oczy Mlody and sees the iconoclastic outfit once again tread uncharted territory. These 12 new originals are threaded together by cinematic narration courtesy of The Clash's Mick Jones. Additionally, the music parallels front man Wayne Coyne's immersive art installation of the same name. A true handcrafted marvel, it consists of a giant metallic head that welcomes spectators inside.
>Bleached – Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough? CD/LP/Cassette (Dead Oceans) Don't You Think You've Had Enough? is what Jennifer Clavin asked herself when she hit a turning point in her life. It's also the title of the new record from Bleached, Jessie and Jennifer Clavin's first LP written from a place of sobriety. That newfound perspective serves as the guiding force, yielding a courageous, honest, and sonically ambitious album. It's a record about fighting both literally and figuratively for your life - and the clarity born from that struggle.

>Thee Oh Sees – Grave Blockers [Reissue/2006] LP (Castleface) Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. Encased in a brown paper wrapping like a forgotten bit of smut from behind the beaded curtain, this unassuming disc is a time-capsule back to John Dwyer's early SF days, janglingly fingerpicked wisps of melody and electronics baking in the all-too anemic sunshine of San Francisco's elusive summer.

>WILCO - Ode to Joy (Indie Pink vinyl edition) LP Ode to Joy- the 11th studio album from the pioneering Chicago rock band Wilco – will be released Oct. 4 via dBpm Records. The album features 11 new songs written and produced by Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Wilco at the bands' own Chicago studio dubbed The Loft.
"The record is, in a weird way, an ode; this terrible stuff is happening, this deepening sense of creeping authoritarianism that weighs on everybody's psyche on a daily basis, and you're allowed to feel a lot of things at once. And one thing that is worth feeling, that is worth fighting for, is your freedom to still have joy even though things are going to shit." - Jeff Tweedy

>Hiss Golden Messenger - Terms of Surrender (Peak Vinyl Edition) LP M.C. says that he wanted to make Terms of Surrender “a wandering record. I wanted where we recorded it to mirror the searching spirit of the music.” Having written upwards of 40 songs—in motel rooms, his studio in Durham, and a secluded cottage outside of Charlottesville, Virginia—Taylor winnowed them down to the ten works that comprise Terms of Surrender. With regular collaborators—including Phil and Brad Cook, Josh Kaufman, and Matt McCaughan—and new friends like Jenny Lewis and Aaron Dessner (of The National), the crew decamped to Dessner’s Long Pond studio in upstate New York, Sound City in Los Angeles, and producer Roger Moutenot’s Haptown studio in Nashville to create the most fully realized and genre-defying Hiss Golden Messenger album to date.
