>THE NATIONAL - I Am Easy To Find (Clear Vinyl Edition) 2-LP Set In September 2017, director Mike Mills emailed Matt Berninger to introduce himself and in very short order, the most ambitious project of the National’s nearly 20-year career was born and plans for a hard-earned vacation died. The Los Angeles-based filmmaker was coming off his third feature, 20th Century Women, and was interested in working with the band on...something. A video maybe. Berninger, already a fan of Mills’ films, not only agreed to collaborate, he essentially handed over the keys to the band’s creative process. The result is I Am Easy To Find, a 24-minute film by Mills starring Alicia Vikander, and I Am Easy To Find, a 68-minute album by The National. The former is not the video for the latter; the latter is not the soundtrack to the former. The two projects are, as Mills calls them, “Playfully hostile siblings that love to steal from each other.” [Deluxe triple-vinyl edition pressed on opaque red, yellow, and grey colors. Sides A - D feature full album track list with Side E featuring the “I Am Easy To Find Original Film Score” with an etching on Side F.]
>The Head And The Heart - Living Mirage (Transparent Green and Black Vinyl Edition) LP Living Mirage is the fourth studio album from five-piece indie-folk act The Head And The Heart and follow-up to 2016's Signs Of Light. After the release of their third LP, co-founder Josiah Johnson amicably left the group, with the band replacing the guitarist/vocalist with Charity Rose Thielen‘s husband, Matt Gervais. In the time since, longtime keyboardist Kenny Hensley has also returned to the fold. Appropriately, Living Mirage touches on these major changes, with bassist Chris Zasche describing the collection as a “rebirth, a spirit quest of sorts.” For lead single, “Missed Connection”, the group focuses in on the “anxiety that reasoned that growth spurt” following their recent lineup changes. Initially created as a tribute to Russell’s girlfriend and how they met, the song shifted to a reflection on the group’s history, meeting for an open-mic in Seattle ten years ago. Musically, the song infuses tastes of hip-hop and pop production. Elaborated drummer Tyler Williams, “A lot of the beats on this song are quicker, and there are high hats that were never in our music before.” Vinyl pressed on transparent green and black vinyl!

>Com Truise – Persuasion System LP+MP3 (Ghostly Int’l) For nearly a decade the story of Com Truise has relied on science fiction and abstract fact. Seth Haley's singular style of melodic beat music subsists as hazy machinist nostalgia, a mainframe downloaded cosmology. Yet with each release, alongside sonic refinement, comes an increasingly visible vapor trail to Haley's own ontology. [CD edition due May 24.]
>Holly Herndon – Proto CD/LP (4AD) Holly's third full-length album Proto isn't about A.I., but much of it was created in collaboration with her own A.I. 'baby', Spawn. For the record, she assembled a contemporary ensemble of vocalists, developers and an inhuman intelligence housed in a DIY souped-up gaming PC to create a record that encompasses live vocal processing and timeless folk singing and places an emphasis on alien song craft and new forms of communion.
>Lizzo – Cuz I Love You CD (Atlantic) Cuz I Love You is the third studio album and major label debut by the rapper and singer. “The shiny soul-pop of Lizzo’s major label debut is something of a thesis on internalized and externalized confidence—so much so that the music can feel like a means to a greater end.” – Pitchfork
>Endless Boogie – Vol. I II CD/2xLP (No Quarter) CD and vinyl reissues of the long out-of-print debut albums by the '60s influenced garage act. Volume I and Volume II were self-released in 2005 before the band's inaugural trip overseas (to play the Slint-curated All Tomorrow's Parties) – and for that matter, their first trip outside of New York.

>Interpol – A Fine Mess CDEP12”+MP3 (Matador) Released on the heels of last year’s Maruader and recorded during time Interpol spent in upstate New York with Dave Fridmann, the five songs that make up A Fine Mess gradually emerged as a body of work with a narrative and flow unto itself. The resulting set is a living, breathing postcard from the band to their fans as they tour the world throughout 2019.
>Weezer – Weezer (The Teal Album) LP (Crush Music) Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. On the heels of their latest studio album Weezer (The Black Album) the veteran alt-rock band delivers a covers album.

>Alice Coltrane – Eternity [Reissue/1976] LP (Antarctica Starts Here) – Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana [Reissue/1977] LP (Antarctica Starts Here) – Transcendence [Reissue/1977] LP (Antarctica Starts Here) – Transfiguration [Reissue/1978] 2xLP (Antarctica Starts Here) Vinyl reissues of Alice Coltrane’s four albums for Warner Bros. While Eternity and Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana followed the Coltrane's muse through an exciting range of musical styles and influences.

>TITUS ANDRONICUS - An Obelisk (Peak Vinyl Edition) LP Patrick Stickles taps into the heart of '77 punk, glam, pub & classic rock for what may be the most rocking & straight-to-the-point album they've ever made, Bruising guitar licks & heartworn pop hooks steer the ship for a tight 40 minutes of classic rock 'n roll sounds; and who better to have assisting you in a journey like that than a master craftsman like Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar, etc)? Mould produced the album, guiding them over breathless sessions at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio, An Obelisk presents the sound of Titus Andronicus, rock band, at its most irreducible, as monolithic as the album’s titular monument.
