>TY SEGALL & WHITE FENCE - Joy CD/LP Ty Segall and White Fence are AS ONE again. Six years after their fun favorite Hair collaboration, and jeez, almost four years after Ty produced the last White Fence record For The Recently Found Innocent, they're back at it. But the second time around, it's no Hair 2 - Joy is its own reward. Tim Presley and Ty take it up a notch, with 15 wild tracks that share space in an effortless fashion, dispersing doses of the fabled vintage obsessions, but threading them together instead with their own sound of today. Joy, indeed!

>Houndmouth – Golden Age CD (Reprise) New Albany, Indiana-based rock band Houndmouth, famous for their heartfelt, introspective storytelling and rich instrumentality, make their welcome return with a new record.
>Lambchop – What Another Man Spills [Reissue/1998] CD/2xLP+MP3 (Merge) What Another Man Spills (1998) represented a milestone in Lambchop's career, but not in the modern sense of a ‘landmark' release. Building on foundations that had once sounded almost literally creaky, it expands upon the tentative maneuvers they'd undertaken with the previous year's Thriller (1997) and gestures confidently towards its brassy successor, Nixon, which would arrive in 2000 to wild acclaim and previously unimaginable commercial success.
>Lucero – Among The Ghosts CD/LP (Liberty & Lament) Lucero’s ninth studio album, Among The Ghosts, was recorded at the historic Sam Phillips Recording Service, the studio built by the legendary producer after outgrowing his Memphis Recording Service/Sun Studio. Captured primarily live, it eschews the Stax-inspired horns and Jerry Lee Lewis-style boogie piano featured on some of the band’s past recordings for a streamlined rock & roll sound that pays homage to their seminal influences as it seeks to push that legacy into the future.
>Spider Bags – Someday Everything Will Be Fine CD/LP+MP3 (Merge) Recorded in Memphis at Bunker Audio by Andrew McCalla (who also engineered Spider Bags' seminal 2012 rock and roll party record Shake My Head), Someday Everything Will Be Fine leverages the limitations and glory of the Tascam 388, a vintage recording/mixing device that's acquired a mythos via its association with legendary records by Dinosaur Jr., East River Pipe, the Black Keys, Ty Segall, and Thee Oh Sees to name a few.
>Marvin Gaye – Midnight Love [Reissue/1982] LP+MP3 (Sony Legacy) Vinyl reissue of the 17th and final studio album by the R&B/soul legend.
>Jeff Buckley – Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk [Reissue/1998] 3xLP+MP3 (Sony Legacy) – Mystery White Boy: Live '95 - '96 [Reissue/2000] 2xLP+MP3 (Sony Legacy) Vinyl reissues now available. Buckley was dissatisfied with material recorded in the summer of 1996 and early in 1997 and continued working on demo recordings to refine his sound.
>The Cranberries – Something Else LP (The End) Released last year on CD – now available on limited green colored vinyl. “Something Else by The Cranberries is a strange sort of greatest hits compilation. On one hand, it does collect the Irish band’s most popular songs, dutifully released to mark the 25 years since their first formal musical release: the ethereal, fresh-faced 1992 single ‘Dreams.’
>The Love Language – Baby Grand LP+MP3 (Merge) You may not be able to see the gorgeous landscapes behind Baby Grand, Stuart McLamb's fourth record as The Love Language, but they're so essential to the picture you'll feel them in every note. Yet so much lies in the shadows behind these tracks: other states, other lives, other dreams, other relationships – fogged over, perhaps, but there nonetheless.
>Lykke Li – So Sad So Sexy LP (RCA) Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. It’s rare that an album title can summarize the essence of a musician, but ‘so sad so sexy’ has been Lykke Li’s MO since the release of her debut album Youth Novels in 2008.
>LOW - DOUBLE NEGATIVE (CLEAR Vinyl LOSER Edition) LP In 2018, Low will turn twenty-five. Since 1993, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker—the married couple whose heaven-and-earth harmonies have always held the band’s center—have pioneered a subgenre, shrugged off its strictures, recorded a Christmas classic, become a magnetic onstage force, and emerged as one of music’s most steadfast and vital vehicles for pulling light from our darkest emotional recesses. But Low will not commemorate its first quarter-century with mawkish nostalgia or safe runs through songbook favorites. Instead, in faithfully defiant fashion, Low will release its most brazen, abrasive (and, paradoxically, most empowering) album ever: 'Double Negative,' an unflinching eleven-song quest through snarling static and shattering beats that somehow culminates in the brightest pop song of Low’s career.

>ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - Tangerine Reef (Deluxe Green Vinyl Edition) 2-LP Set Tangerine Reef is a full-length audiovisual album by Animal Collective (Avey Tare, Deakin and Geologist), in collaboration with Coral Morphologic, to commemorate the 2018 International Year of the Reef. Tangerine Reef is a visual tone poem consisting of time-lapse and slow pans across surreal aquascapes of naturally fluorescent coral and cameos by alien-like reef creatures (note: no CGI or artificial enhancement was used in this film). Tangerine Reef is the sight and sound of a literal underwater collective of animals. LIMITED DELUXE LP HOUSED IN A WIDESPINE JACKET ON HEAVYWEIGHT 180 GRAM VINYL AND TWO PRINTED INNER SLEEVES FEATURING FILM STILLS. Out 17 AUG 2018...
>BLOOD ORANGE - NEGRO SWAN (Gold Edition Vinyl) 2-LP Set “My newest album is an exploration into my own and many types of black depression, an honest look at the corners of black existence, and the ongoing anxieties of queer/people of color. A reach back into childhood and modern traumas, and the things we do to get through it all. The underlying thread through each piece on the album is the idea of hope, and the lights we can try to turn on within ourselves with a hopefully positive outcome of helping others out of their darkness.” Deluxe double LP is pressed on limited edition gold vinyl with a double sided 24x36 poster. Widespine LP jacket with two printed inner sleeves out 05 OCT 2018...

>CAT POWER - Wanderer (Deluxe Clear Edition Vinyl) LP Wanderer marks a pivotal moment in both Chan Marshall’s life and her career. The album is in many ways, a quintessential Cat Power record, with Marshall’s clarion voice front and center in a set of songs that remarkably stark and straightforward. Wanderer is, at its heart, a testament to the transformative nature of songs, an album-length imagining of alternate paths, redemptions, connections, and open-ended possibility. Produced by Marshall and mixed by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck), the album includes appearances by longtime friends and compatriots, as well as guest vocals courtesy of friend and recent tourmate Lana Del Rey.
