What's New 8-5-22
RepublicRecord-breaking BRIT and GRAMMY Award nominated, Billboard Award-winning global sensations, Glass Animals, announce the special anniversary collection of their critically acclaimed third album, Dreamland. Dreamland is the album that brought us the global hit, “Heat Waves,” leading to a 5 billion+ global streaming band. *Ltd. Ed. Glow In The Dark LP*
Easy EyeDuring the recording of Anderson’s 2020 album Years, Dan Auerbach hatched the idea of a tribute to the genius of the country legend. The herculean talents of everyone from Luke Combs to John Prine, from Eric Church to Tyler Childers, Nathaniel Rateliff to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings and many more all came together to pay tribute to John and his remarkable contributions in this stunning album. *Low Dog Blue LP*
Metal BladeThe Swedish melodic death metal stalwart’s trademark sound undergoes yet another evolutionary overhaul. From the noisily rabble-rousing "Find A Way Or Make One" and the pummeling, pugilistic "Get In The Ring", to the evocative fury of "Saxons & Vikings," The Great Heathen Army encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas. *Triple Gatefold Blue/Black Marble LP*
Prosthetic RecordsMore than two decades deep, and preparing to release their eighth studio album, Psycroptic are in fine fettle. The follow up to 2018’s As The Kingdom Drowns is on the horizon, and Divine Council sees the Australian band ready to push their creative boundaries in new ways as part of their ethos to always keep things fresh - both for themselves and their listeners. *Blue/Green/White/Clear LP*
EpitaphGliding across a spectrum of breathless punk rock, doo-wop, gospel, dancehall, and the band’s customary nods to the lineage of two-tone, this 14-track opus is a band rejecting the easy impulses of simply repeating what’s worked before. Featuring guests Tim Armstrong, Rhoda Dakar, Hepcat, and The Skints. *Ltd. Ed. Opaque Aqua Blue LP*
EmpireUnder Construction, Part II served as the follow-up to Missy Elliot's album of the same name. With Timbaland handling a majority of the production, the album boasts the large and flamboyant beats that we've come to expect from Timbaland as one of the top producers of his time. The album features appearances from longtime collaborators such as Missy Elliot and Sebastian, as well as notable names such as Brandy, Wyclef Jean, and Bubba Sparxxx.
VirginHonesty, nostalgia and inner-light are at core of Lauv’s sophomore album. As humans, we tend to shy away from the darkness and spotlight the good, but acceptance and courage is what takes us beyond the horizon and gives us all the strength to move forward. All 4 Nothing sees the hit maker at his highest and lowest with no pretend while bringing his ultra-modern pop beats and snappy lyrical pairings.

Chaos In Bloom, arriving this week via Warner Records. Marking the first album of their career to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik, the record finds Goo Goo Dolls at the top of their game and continuing to constantly evolve just as they have for nearly four decades together. Consisting of 10 tracks, Chaos in Bloom is an album of biting sarcasm, stadium-ready choruses, and the type of spear-sharp songwriting that’s led them to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.Beastie Boys - Check Your Head: 30th Anniversary - Capitol
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Beastie Boys’ 2X Platinum Check Your Head album, this limited-edition deluxe reissue is a rare version of the album that was released as a limited run in 2009. Long out-of-print and sought after by fans and collectors, it features two bonus LP’s including remixes, live versions, and B-sides. Featuring the songs ‘So What’cha Want’, ‘Pass the Mic’ and ‘Gratitude’. Check Your Head was a somewhat return to their punk roots and introduced the trio playing their own instruments for the first time on record since their early EP’s.Rich Ruth - I Survived, It's Over - Third Man Records
Recorded under a loft bed in the guest bedroom of his Nashville home, Michael Ruth aka Rich Ruth’s “I Survived, It's Over” starts in a humble space. And while many contemporary music projects are produced in such an environment, “I Survived, It’s Over” sets itself apart in its transformative properties as well as its transparency. What we have here is honest sound exploration, session musician-level instrumentation, and a true love for nature run through the fingers of a dude who can channel some acute and undeniable magic. This music goes deep.ALSO OUT THIS WEEK
