What's New 11-18-22
Natalie Mering watches the world crumble from a pier on her latest album. Her fifth full-length comes as the second instalment of a trilogy that includes its critically acclaimed predecessor, 2019’s Titanic Rising. Whereas Titanic Rising anticipated the onset of doom, And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow finds her swimming in its deep dark waters.
Trust finds Sohn further exploring sounds that first found success in the electronic and noir-pop spaces, and now growing deeper roots in folk structures and aching, emotive balladry. While still drawing on the influences that garnered such a rabid international audience, the album is an unequivocal statement of an ambitious auteur beyond genre.
The desire of Special Interest is to dismantle genre. 2018’s Spiraling and 2020’s widely acclaimed The Passion Of articulated those aims, driven by dance grooves and electronic textures as much as hardcore riffs, but the group expands the vision with Endure, pushing their sound to both its bleakest and its sweetest brinks, adding raucous glam punk to the mix.
The Universal Migrator is brimming with climactic overtures, enticing vocal harmonies, and memorably melodic themes – all the makings of a classic prog metal album. Lucassen's strong compositions and alluring arrangements strike an engaging chord as the music and overall production hearken back to the glory days of defiantly inventive progressive rock.
A career-spanning, cross-label anthology featuring 23 essential recordings from 1971-2020 for the first time on one album. Includes Dolly's performances with Kenny Rogers, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette and "Faith," her delightfully surprising 2020 collaboration with the Swedish electropop dance duo Galantis (featuring Mr. Probz).
Experience the world’s biggest-selling album with over 100 million in sales and the first album to be certified triple Diamond by the RIAA – on this new Thriller 40th Anniversary 2CD set. Disc 1 is the 1982 smash album that changed pop music forever, featuring seven top 10 hits. Disc 2 includes Thriller-era bonus material including previously unreleased demos.
Saxophonist and composer Charles Lloyd is a free spirit, master musician, and visionary. At 84, he remains at the height of his powers and as prolific as ever. As a sound seeker, Lloyd has perhaps found no greater manifestation than on his Trio of Trios project. The third, Trios: Sacred Thread, features guitarist Julian Lage and percussionist Zakir Hussain.
A thrilling, previously unissued live recording of Elvin Jones' quartet that captures the legendary drummer's emergence as a bandleader at a little-known NYC club where he had a weekly residency after leaving John Coltrane's band in the late 1960s. Featuring Joe Farrell on tenor saxophone, Billy Greene on piano, and Wilbur Little on bass.

Neil Young with Crazy Horse - World Record - Reprise
Neil Young with Crazy Horse release World Record. It's their second album of new studio recordings within the past 12 months. World Record is produced by Rick Rubin and Neil Young, and Neil is accompanied by his longtime band, Crazy Horse (Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Nils Lofgren). The album features 10 new Neil Young compositions (plus a short reprise of one song) and was mixed to analog tape at Rubin’s Shangri-la studios using a selection of vintage instruments and equipment. To optimize the audio quality, the vinyl format will be released as a 3-sided double album with an etching on side 4. There will also be a limited-edition version of the album pressed on clear vinyl available at indie retailers. 'World Record' will also be released on CD (2 CDs mirroring the track sequence of the double LP) and cassette. World Record contains ten songs, nine written during the last year about the events and condition of our world.
Disturbed - Divisive - Reprise
Everywhere you look these days, hyper tribalism has taken hold. Those in power continue to use fear and hate mongering to further empower themselves, continuing to try to turn us against one another. Pick a subject…any subject, and those who wield power will do all they can to make it a divisive issue, encouraging people to pick a side, insisting that their viewpoint is the only correct one. This record is a critique of this dangerous status quo we are living in. - Disturbed
KISS - Creatures Of The Night: 40th Anniversary - UMe
The 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition Box Set boasts 103 total tracks (including 75 tracks previously unreleased). CD 1 contains the newly remastered album. CDs 2-3 feature 34 rarities. CDs 4-5 highlight 26 soundboard live recordings from the Creatures ’82-’83 Tour and 7 rare tour sound effects. The Blu-ray Audio disc showcases a first-ever Atmos & 5.1 surround mix. An 80-page book includes extensive liner notes, rare posters, imagery and prints, a track-by-track newspaper and much more!
Tallah - The Generation Of Danger - Earache Records
Highly anticipated 2nd studio album from Tallah, one of metal's most exciting new bands. The Generation Of Danger is a concept album about a genius scientist who gets fed up with being swept under the rug. After the multi-billion-dollar corporation that employs him takes credit for his latest, award-winning invention, he snaps and retaliates against them by forcing them to take part in the greatest experiment the world of science has ever seen..
Various Artists - PIOMBO – Italian Crime Soundtracks From The Years Of Lead (1973-1981) - Decca
Introducing PIOMBO, a new CAM Sugar collection on Italian crime soundtracks. Fused with American jazz-funk, acid progressive rock, synth-infused disco and more, PIOMBO journeys into the scores that captured the sociopolitical turmoil of 1970s Italy. Restored and remastered from the original tapes, this release features previously unreleased music by Luis Bacalov, Stelvio Cipriani, Riz Ortolani, Franco Micalizzi and more. Collector's Edition 2 LP includes a bonus 7" single and original poster.
B.I - LOVE OR LOVED PART.1 - Transparent Arts, Corp
Love holds many different chapters: The initial spark, the passionate infatuation, its tendency to turn us innocent and childish, and finally, nostalgic reminiscence. Through various styles of genres, B.I paints his own interpretation of various forms and colors of love.
Loreena McKennitt - Under A Winter's Moon - UMe
Under A Winter's Moon features 15 seasonal songs performed by Loreena McKennitt interspersed with seasonal readings by Canadian Indigenous actor and Companion of the Order of Canada Tom Jackson, Gemini Award-winning actor Cedric Smith, and Ojibway artist and flautist Jeffrey "Red" George. This Deluxe CD set was recorded live during a series of seasonal concerts in a historic church sanctuary around the time of the solstice in December 2021.
