In a career full of bold, genre-blending statements, Wendy Eisenberg’s double album Viewfinder is their boldest yet. Viewfinder is about what happens when you reach clarity and it throws you off-balance, and what it means to love something without understanding why you love it. Eisenberg leads a large band of NYC jazz musicians, including Booker Stardrum (drums) and Chris Williams (trumpet). Together, they push the boundaries of jazz into songcraft, songcraft into art song, and art song into jazz, cementing Eisenberg’s work as a guitarist, improviser, composer - and establishing Eisenberg as a singular talent in 21st-century jazz.

Murder In The Temple

Release: 2023 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

Murder In The Temple is both a continuation and departure from Zohra’s past. The fourth daughter of a family of Afghan refugees, Zohra proudly sings and speaks her history, her family’s Muslim heritage, her own black-clad weirdo-ness, and unashamed Stevie-esque, shawl-spinning femininity (after all, one person’s Stevie-esque shawl is another’s chador). She dives deep into the kinds of dark pop and synth that she’s explored in Azar Swan, flowing seamlessly from bubblegum radio to batcave goth club, while at the same time, the South Asian/Middle Eastern melodies, modal tones and harmonies in her bones emerge. With a like-minded openness to chaos provided by producer Ben Greenberg, Zohra takes the sort of off-kilter chances that can only come when one has nothing left to lose.

Me:You

Field Tapes In Der Trash

Release: 2023 / EU – Original

Genre: Electronic & Dance

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

On their first album, Me:You—a new collaboration between Mourning [A] BLKstar co-founders RA Washington and LaToya Kent—presents a simmering, enigmatic brew full of groove, distortion and haze. In contrast to the pointed lyrics and wide-ranging genre blend of Mourning [A] BLKstar, Me:You dunks music in a swirling brew of drum beats, guitars, bass, synth, and tape loops, revealing an immersive world that spotlights a woman who loves hard, with nods to punk, jazz and R&B. Along with Washington’s production and Kent’s vocals, Field Tapes in Der Trash features contributions from Jah Nada (of Obnox and Bloody Show, who released a winning collaboration with Washington on Astral Spirits last year) and Laura B.

Marvin Tate's D-Settlement were Chicago's best-kept secret: a trailblazing, diverse band mixing R&B, soul, punk and funk with biting wit and political commentary. Led by Marvin Tate - a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair - and backed up by a dynamic cast of characters, their concerts were the stuff of legend. They stole the show from acts like Antibalas and Bernie Worrell. They addressed transgender rights, gentrification and gun violence before they were trendy. But if you wanted to hear their music, you were out of luck. Until now. American Dreams Records presents Marvin Tate's D-Settlement: a deluxe 4xLP/3xCD box set, designed by Field of Grass (Numero Group, Paradise of Bachelors), collecting their three albums with an oral history of the band. If you like Angel Bat Dawid, Theaster Gates, avery r. young - here's the blueprint.

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

Passing presents Matthew J. Rolin at his most refined. With a slew of full-length releases on some of the Western hemisphere's sharpest labels for out, experimental or psychedelic music, Rolin has quietly established himself as one of America's higher purveyors of guitar music. Recorded and mixed by Jeff Zeigler (The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Rosali) and mastered by Mikey Young (Ty Segall, Parquet Courts, Ava Mendoza, ONO), the audio is crisp, the compositions tight, the music unpretentious and moving.

"Give this to anyone as a gift, they will thank you. If they like guitars they will thank you twice." - Matt Sweeney

Jordan Reyes is one of the busiest musicians in experimental music today, and here he takes a bold turn with the metal-inflected Everything Is Always, touching on death, Zen and science fiction. Reyes’ previous collaborators include ONO, Eli Winter and Robert Stokowy, and here he brings in a large and expert cast: Steve Hauschildt (Emeralds) at the mixing board, and Heba Kadry (Slowdive, Big Thief, Alex G, Lower Dens) mastering, plus instrumentalists including Lia Kohl (Whitney, Steve Gunn), Jon Mueller (Volcano Choir, Death Blues), Patrick Shiroishi and Sam Wagster (Fruit Bats, Eli Winter). The result is conceptual yet refined, and distinctively American Dreams.

claire rousay's a heavenly touch blends piano, percussion and field recordings into a hushed, transgressive mix. Originally issued on cassette in April 2020 by Already Dead Tapes, this marks its first appearance on vinyl, mastered by Andrew Weathers (Lucy Liyou, Hayden Pedigo, More Eaze). Coming on the heels of last year's breakout album, a softer focus (American Dreams), or her 2022 LP everything perfect is already here (Shelter Press), a heavenly touch foreshadows rousay's future releases and serves as a North Star in her acclaimed discography. It's crucial to understanding her development as an artist.

Now That You've Found It, the first full-length album from Aaron Turner and Jon Mueller, is a delightfully weird foray that shows the pair of highly acclaimed musicians stretching out. Past projects include Isis, SUMAC, and a host of album art (Turner), plus Volcano Choir with Justin Vernon, Death Blues, Mind Over Mirrors, and last year's American Dreams-released Family Secret (Mueller). Turner released their first collaboration, In the Falls, on his SIGE label last year. Like that release, Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Caspian, Pelican) recorded, James Plotkin (Merzbow, Jack Rose, Oneohtrix Point Never) mixed and mastered, and Turner himself provided album art.

A Lot's Gonna Change

“This album is a snapshot of my early-to-mid twenties — formative, sometimes confusing years.” That’s Chicago singer-songwriter Claudia Ferme, AKA Claude, on her debut album a lot’s gonna change. For years she’s tinkered away, self-releasing a 12” EP titled Enactor in 2021, and playing shows across the city. Her first full-length has been a long time in the making, with sketches of ditties happening as early as 2017. Since then, she’s refined her craft - words, melodies, and sound - crystallizing in this collection, buttressed by Windy City Wunderkind Michael Mac’s (Tasha, Devin Shaffer, Mia Joy) woozy, lush production. It’s an evocative, relatable assemblage, detailing the peaks and pitfalls of early adult life, all the while maintaining a sense of humor, a bit of hope, and piles of earworms.

"I'm trying to document emotions, more than specific events and memories. I mean...that's what my music is at the end of the day - I'm just documenting."

This is Lucy Liyou, the Philadelphia-based experimental musician behind cinematic sister LPs Welfare and Practice. Working in their Korean-American lineage and pulling from childhood memories, Liyou takes inspiration from Pansori (Korean Folk Opera), a style of Korean musical storytelling; and Korean drama soundtracks. Collaging text-to-speech (TTS) with their own voice, personal field recordings, audio samples from memes, Tumblr, and YouTube videos, synthesizers, and lush acoustic piano, Liyou creates their own distinct narrative.

Responding to a comment that the foreground of his Western photographs feels like a stage set, the photographer and auteur Wim Wenders suggests, “that impression is basic to the American West. Everything people have built there has a highly theatrical air.” This animates Places of Consequence, the second album and first solo LP from Cameron Knowler, which deploys guitar and banjo as cinematic tools to soundtrack and investigate the region. “Despite the fact that the lightheartedness of youth lifts and the problematic components of the West reveal themselves over time,” Knowler says, “there are still ways of harnessing the space to richly creative ends.” Single “Puerto Suelo,” which features acoustic and electric guitars playing in unison and a small orchestra of kitchen utensils, shows Knowler's knack for gorgeous melodies, and nods to LA session wizards like Blake Mills or Sam Gendel. Places of Consequence is testament to making the effort, and a document of Knowler’s clear talent.

Release: 2024 / US – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

In Horror Vacui, Paris-based, Iran-born 9T Antiope use a sparse palette of octave mandolin, violin and octave violin, synthesizer and vocals, to build a dynamic world that seems to exist outside of the bounds of time and place. Cinematic, spare, heavy, gossamer, and informed by the band’s work as sound designers and composers for theatre, film and performance art, Horror Vacui is a concept album that explores what sounds have been, what they’ll become, and the nature of memory, dementia and decay. As 9T Antiope attempt to reconcile different worlds, they create the sound of arriving in a new world all your own.

Devon Welsh roars back with a powerful new album. Recorded at Welsh’ home in rural Wisconsin, Come With Me If You Want To Live has all the immediacy of his past work, chock-full of grand slam choruses, and slam dunk singing. The production is tight, spare and cinematic, in the classic pop (or Majical Cloudz) mold. “I wanna grow and I will change,” Welsh sings. Here’s proof. It’s his sharpest solo statement to date, his first album since 2019’s True Love, and his first widely distributed solo LP.

Over the past decade, Siavash Amini’s compelling electronic music has quietly garnered praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian and AllMusic. From his home base in Tehran, Iran, Amini has collaborated with artists like Rafael Anton Irisarri and 9T Antiope, and regularly uses literature, film, mysticism, and medieval Iranian culture as musical launchpads. Amini’s new album, Eremos, illustrates a passage from Avicenna, the preeminent philosopher and physician of the Islamic Golden Age: one can move out of darkness, he writes, by confronting the darkness within. The results are - even for Amini - uniquely immersive, cinematic and moving: a landmark.

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

If We Stayed Alive is the first LP from legendary Minneapolis band 12 Rods - and presents their first new music in twenty-two years. It’s an excellent introduction to one of the most acclaimed, talked-about bands of the turn of the century, and what some have called one
of the best indie bands of the ‘90s. Pitchfork raved about Gay? and Split Personalities, and a collaboration with Todd Rundgren, 2000’s Separation Anxieties, followed. Bandleader Ryan Olcott wrote, recorded and played everything you hear on If We Stayed Alive. “To be honest,” he says, “I think it’s the best material I’ve had to offer so far.” Its sound, themes, mood are evergreen. It’s 12 Rods. It’s new. It’s everything we’ve waited for.
