MAGICMAN 2 is a bold evolution, offering a raw, genre-blending glimpse into an artist breaking free from his own myth.

For the very first time, The Doors' Golden Doors 2, their 1970 Japanese compilation, is available worldwide. This is an authentic re-creation now pressed on purple vinyl. / With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison's poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture. The Doors' arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become stone classics, but also of something much bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. They released six studio albums in all, as well as a live album and a compilation, before Morrison's death in 1971. Their electrifying achievements in the studio and onstage were unmatched in the annals of rock. In the decades since The Doors' heyday, the foursome has loomed ever larger in the pantheon of rock - and they remain a touchstone of insurrectionary culture for writers, activists, visual artists and other creative communities.
“Algebra for Broken Hearts” represents a rebirth for The Honeydogs. It has the immediacy and lean rock vibes of the band’s earliest recordings along with the back-to-the-roots spirit reuniting the four original members Adam Levy, Noah Levy, Trent Norton, and Tommy Borscheid. Recorded over five days with longtime friend and collaborator John Fields in June of 2024, it represents more than a simple rehash of what made the band popular when they began in 1995. It’s a synthesis of the scrappy early Honeydogs with the more sophisticated songwriting and stylistic explorations of more recent Honeydog offerings. It’s a fresh start with the best of old and new. Brothers Noah (drums) and Adam Levy (singer-songwriter/ guitar) started the band in the early 90’s, and enlisted the sturdy and inventive playing of Trent Norton on bass and the razor wire -meets-chicken picking of Tommy Borscheid on guitar. The sound of the early band was shaped as much by classic country, soul and British rock as it was by their hometown music scene heroes Prince and The Replacements. The band released their first eponymously titled record in 1995 and put in about four hundred club dates across North America creating music that folks were labeling “Alt Country” at the time. The Stones’ “Exile on Mainstreet,” The Kinks “Village Green Preservation Society,” The Flying Burrito Brothers “Gilded Palace of Sin” certainly inform those early records, along with The Faces, Bowie, Lucinda Williams, Dylan, Los Lobos, and lots of bands mixing acoustic roots musics with riff based rock and roll. “We were going to see bands every night in Minneapolis,” Noah recalled, and that fertile mix of upper Mississippi rock was seeping into the sauce. Band members were constantly sharing new music on the road. All of the gigs and bonding created a well-oiled road machine–as Tommy said, “we imprinted on each other,” musically, humor-wise and even style. At the same time Noah recorded and toured with Golden Smog, a local supergroup with their peers in Wilco, The Jayhawks, Soul Asylum, and Run Westy Run. It started to feel like the band had arrived. They recorded “Everything, I Bet You” during all of that touring in 1996 and that album landed the band great critical reviews and a major label deal with Mercury, “Seen a Ghost” (1997). It was the band’s big break…that never really delivered “success” in record sales, though lots of tour buses were chased and the party never ended. Dates with INXS, and Jon Bon Jovi got the band in front of some big audiences. Throughout the 2000s the band lineup changed a few times and they scaled back touring. The Honeydogs recorded a bunch of adventurous, well-received records like “Here’s Luck” (2001),”10,000 Years” (2003) on Aimee Mann’s United Musicians label, and “Amygdala” (2006). Trent, Noah and Adam started a ‘bowling night’ project with multiple vocalists and horns called “Hookers and Blow,” playing their favorite songs with some of the best musicians in the Twin Cities, partly to break out of the heartache of making records with diminishing returns. Tragedy struck in 2012 and Adam lost his son. Life was forever altered. A few more records were released on different indie labels: “What Comes After” (2012), a solo Adam record called “Naubinway” (2014) mostly around grief and the last Honeydogs record before the newest one, “Love and Cannibalism” (2016). From about 2018-2023 The Honeydogs pressed the pause button. Some members had moved to different parts of the country. Trent went to Nashville seeking some new musical opportunities. Noah opened Chubby Mammal recording studio—and he is one of the best drummers on either side of the Mississippi which has kept him in high demand. Adam started teaching high school social studies–history and social justice always informed his music but he wanted to go full bore, also teaching songwriting in prisons, Levy muses, “It’s always in my lyrics—historical characters, events, movements—history is how we try to understand the past, make sense of the present and anticipate the future. I feel joy surrounded by kids in the classroom talking about this stuff since I lost one child. It’s really been a gift” Then in 2023 a label re-licensed the band’s sophomore, fan favorite “Everything, I Bet You” on vinyl. As the band was writing liner notes and reminiscing long distance, Tommy, who had been working in music distribution, playing with The Old 97s’ Rhett Miller and living in Houston, suggested doing at least one show to celebrate this record’s twenty five plus year re-release. Onstage the audience enthusiasm and band chemistry on that iconic First Ave stage got the band thinking about making a new record. The twin guitar attack felt really great, according to Adam, “It was good to have Tommy back—he’s got fire in his belly and we missed it…he’s always searching for the ‘Holy Grail’ of tone. He’s the salt to my pepper.” All band members were invited to contribute to the sourcing of material. The band selected a batch including two songs from Tommy, “Captain” and “Bend or Break.” This adds another cool dimension to the record since all previous Honeydogs records only featured songs by Adam. About recording in June 2024, Trent remembers “the band tracked fast, it was oddly comfortable, like the band had never stopped.” Adam added, “and lacking any of the combative drama” that was a feature of brotherly friction in the early Honeydogs days. The record opens with the Zeppelin riff bombast of “Attic Brain,” a pun on “addict brain” and is bookended with Tommy’s “Bend or Break,” a song which would have felt at home on The Beatles’ “White Album” or “Let it Be.” John Fields is a great musician as well as producer and he sprinkled some slinky keyboard parts over the mixes. Adam’s bandmates Barb Brynstad and Savannah Smith from his other band Turn Turn Turn added some sweet , soulful backing vocals on a few tunes like the swampy “Righteous Came the Stranger” and the stellar “I Don’t Wanna Fight.” “Irish Goodbye” is like Cheap Trick meets Motown reminding us like a dysfunctional relationship of the wages of drugs and booze. Tommy’s “Captain” feels like a Ziggy Stardust or T-Rex glam rocker about leaders losing their bearings. The title track, “Algebra for Broken Hearts,” is a surreal fever dream about the passage of time and the messy, unexpected paths upon which we find ourselves. That vibe and song title captured a moment for the band. There are no neat formulas or easy solutions in this strange, beautiful world. Can you feel the tide come in? Can you feel it pull your skin? I’m sending all my best regards Algebra for broken hearts This new album isn’t about launching a career or trying to sell a huge amount of records. It’s about deep friendships and making meaningful music. “I hope people like it,” Noah muses, “it feels as good as anything we’ve ever done.”

MALTHUSIAN sign to Relapse Records and unearth their deathly opus, The Summoning Bell.
On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN's fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting Death Metal.
Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band's opener "Red, Waiting". What follows is a flurry of murk and madness - blast beats pummel against churns of distortion. The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN's palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.
The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre - each of the album's tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming - internal and external, a true end to everything.
"We aimlessly search
Giving purpose to the nothing
Creating false comforts within
To hold in an eternal abyss.
To exist between the dying sun and a rising moon
With a constant dull ache
Eyes closed
Bitter taste"

GREER are back!After a two-year hiatus from recording, the OC based band reconvened in 2023, returning to where it all started: drummer Lucas Ovalle's garage. It was in this familiar environment that Ovalle, guitarist lead singer Josiah, guitarist Corbin Jacques, and bassist Seth Thomson learned how to be friends again and shared all the anxieties and revelations they'd endured on hiatus through crafting songs. The 13 songs that make up Big Smile are the band's emotional champions that track the tumultuous period between the start of their break and the peace they found on their way back to each other. In the studio with fellow California legends Rob Schnapf (The Vines, Beck) and Matt Schuessler (Kurt Vile, Cat Power), Greer grew up again, taking more ownership over their sound and learning to speak producer-ese. Big Smile is the sound of a band exorcising their demons, learning to trust themselves, and asserting themselves with newfound earnestness and maturity. It's the sound of a band that's fallen in love with rocking out again. It's the sound of friends rediscovering each other and the magic that they can create together when they embrace each other's vulnerable side. With Big Smile, Greer has arrived as a serious, and seriously fun, alt rock band with diversity of sound and unity of vision.

Following back-to-back Grammy-winning albums with her band Golden Highway, along with a Best New Artist nomination, Molly Tuttle releases her new solo album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, on August 15, 2025 via Nonesuch Records. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Orville Peck, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson), the fifth full album from the singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist marks a sonic departure from her recent work and features twelve new songs—eleven originals and one cover, of Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s “I Love It.” The album campaign kicks off with the first single, “That’s Gonna Leave a Mark,” which she co-wrote with Kevin Griffin (Better Than Ezra).
On her new album—a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus one murder ballad—Tuttle goes to a whole new place. Her virtuoso guitar work takes center stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two of her recordings.“I like to be a bit of a chameleon with my music. Keep people guessing and keep it full of surprises,” she says.
So Long Little Miss Sunshine was recorded with drummer/percussionists Jay Bellerose and Fred Eltringham, bassist Byron House, and Joyce on multiple instruments. Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show) also plays banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, as well as singing harmony; much of the LP was co-written with Secor, who is also Tuttle’s partner. “We spend so much time together, we live together, and anytime I have a song idea, or he has one, it’s just so easy to transition from whatever we’re doing into writing a song.”
Tuttle also conceived the artwork for So Long Little Miss Sunshine, which features multiple Mollys, each wearing a different wig except for one with nothing on her head at all. Tuttle has been bald since she was three years old due to the autoimmune condition alopecia areata; she acts as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.

Time ebbs and flows. Something we cannot control, although we wish we could...
Laufey’s third album...A Matter Of Time...is finally here.
A Matter of Time is a beautiful masterpiece of introspection about the anguish that comes with life and love. Laufey has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz and classical-infused pop music. But after becoming the youngest ever recipient of the GRAMMY for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album (for Bewitched), the Icelandic-Chinese composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist feels freer than ever to, as she puts it, “let my heart wander.” For her third album, A Matter of Time, Laufey teams with fellow producers Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner to break the set of expectations she herself set, serving up a transcendent sound and honest writing that cuts to the heart. It’s the culmination of an incredible journey that began with her playing cello with the Iceland Symphony as a teen before writing her first charting single while studying at Berklee College of Music.
Laufey’s many achievements have since grown to include 4.25 billion global streams, a social media audience of 23 million, the biggest jazz LP debut in Spotify history, an album in Billboard’s Top 20, a pile of Platinum plaques, a Forbes 30 Under 30 designation, and, in 2025, being named one of TIME’s Women of the Year. She’s also: sold out the Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall, and London’s Royal Albert Hall; performed backed by the LA Phil, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the China Philharmonic Orchestra; shared the stage with the likes of Jon Batiste and Raye; and collaborated on record with artists ranging from Beabadoobee to Norah Jones.
This album will transcend Laufey into new heights, and the physical rollout plays a special role in the overall creative strategy. There are several vinyl variants launching on May 15, 3 CDs, and 1 cassette. All uniquely representing moments in time.

The album is a journey through inner collapse and outward defiance-The songs reflect isolation as a condition of existence, not just circumstance.

Terry Riley - The Columbia Recordings (4-CD Box Set)
The definitive reissue of Terry Riley's pioneering works for Columbia Masterworks.
This deluxe 4-CD box set from Sony Music brings together the seminal Columbia recordings of Terry Riley, a visionary composer whose influence on minimalist and electronic music continues to ripple through generations. Thoughtfully presented with archival materials, this collection offers an essential document of Riley's most transformative period when the pulse of innovation met the possibilities of high-fidelity sound.
This box set is more than a collection of recordings it is a rare window into a time when the avant-garde found a home in major-label studios and groundbreaking artists like Riley were given space to explore uncharted sonic territory. From his mesmeric electric keyboard and saxophone improvisations to his pioneering use of analog tape delay, every track here pulses with the spirit of experimentation. Starting with the original 1968 recording of In C, captured at Columbia's legendary 30th Street Studio, by revered engineer Fred Plaut, the set includes four seminal works by Riley that helped shape not only the minimalist movement but much of the late 20th century avant-garde landscape.
Designed with collectors in mind, the box includes:
The 1968 Columbia recording of In C, A Rainbow In Curved Air, Church of Anthrax (in collaboration with John Cale of the Velvet Underground) and Shri Camel.
Rarely seen archival photographs from the 30th Street Studio sessions.
50-page booklet featuring:
First-hand reflections from David Behrman, the original producer of In C and A Rainbow in Curved Air; Essay by Thomas Welsh, Terry Riley's longtime manager and archivist, and has written extensively about music in the 20th century.
Reprints of all essays and notes from the original vinyl releases.
This reissue celebrates not only Terry Riley's contributions to modern music but also the cultural conditions that made these recordings possible: a record label willing to take artistic risks, a community of radical composers, and a generation of listeners eager to explore the unknown.
An essential addition to any serious collection of 20th-century music.
Nonesuch Records releases pianist and composer Brad Mehldau’s Ride into the Sun—a songbook record of music by the late singer, songwriter, and guitarist Elliott Smith. Featured musicians include singer/guitarist Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear); singer/mandolinist Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek); bassists Felix Moseholm (Brad Mehldau Trio) and John Davis; drummer Matt Chamberlain (Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Randy Newman, etc.); and a chamber orchestra led by Dan Coleman.
Ride into the Sun’s ten Elliott Smith songs are complemented by four Mehldau compositions that he says are “inspired by, and reflect, Smith’s oeuvre.” Also included are interpretations of Big Star’s “Thirteen,” which Smith also covered, and “Sunday” by Nick Drake, who Mehldau says, “I look at in some ways as sort of Smith’s visionary godfather.”
Recalling how he first got to know Smith and his music, which has been a regular part of his repertoire for years, Mehldau said that after years living in New York, he moved to Los Angeles “and there was this wonderful scene of singer-songwriters that was congregating at a club called Largo. That included Elliott but it also included artists like Rufus Wainwright, Fiona Apple. And then other musicians who had been around for a while would come down every Friday night to sit in on a gig that was led by Jon Brion. I played behind Elliott on his own tunes with Jon. It felt to me like a kind of renaissance in songwriting that flourished for a number of years.”

When BURNING WITCHES take the stage, the world trembles beneath their firestorm of heavy metal might. On their sixth studio album, Inquisition, out August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records, the Swiss powerhouse returns with a darker, more thunderous brew — diving headfirst into the themes of medieval persecution, religious oppression, and the unbreakable spirit of resistance. Featuring 12 brand-new tracks, the album marks a bold new era: forged in the flames of power/heavy metal, sharpened by anthemic songwriting and epic instrumentation. Following the classic heavy metal tones of their previous record, The Dark Tower (2023), Inquisition delivers tight production and an unrelenting onslaught of burning riffs, crushing drums, and vocal sorcery, driven by producers Damir Eskic (Destruction) and V.O. Pulver (Little Creek Studio, Pro-Pain, Destruction), and shaped by the songwriting of founding guitarist Romana Kalkuhl. With booming drums, Latin chants and eerie guitar melodies, opener “Sanguini Hominum” sets a harrowing mood for the medieval power/heavy metal madness! With “Soul Eater”, BURNING WITCHES descend into a fierce thrash underworld, unleashing relentless drums, savage riffs, and razor-sharp screams that slice through the dark like a scythe. The title track “Inquisition” opens the gates with a tempest of high-energy power metal, as thunderous basslines, pounding drums and twin guitars dripping in witchery support Laura Guldemond’s hair-raising vocals, channeling raw emotion and groove. The rousing single “High Priestess Of The Night” pulses a heavy rock swagger and a melodic 80s-style guitar solo, capturing the mysterious strength of ancient rituals. After the high-octane ride of “Burn In Hell”, the witches shift gears with “Release Me”, a melodic ballad that blends rich atmospheric soundscapes with chill-inducing vocals. Subsequent tracks like “Mirror, Mirror” dive back into the band’s signature riff-laden heavy metal sorcery, while “Malus Maga” stands out with energetic grooves and memorable vocal lines, making it a more-than-worthy epic closer to the album.
Pete Droge gets personal on his captivating new album, Fade Away Blue, reflecting on the loss of his birth mother and the remarkable journey that followed as he reunited with long-lost relatives, battled a mysterious illness, and discovered himself in the process. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann), the collection is largely autobiographical, built on a series of dreamy, cinematic snapshots from throughout Droge’s life. The songs are bittersweet, balancing longing and gratitude in equal measure, and the arrangements are warm and inviting, with a spotlight fixed firmly on Droge’s tender lyrics and understated delivery. The result is an album a lifetime in the making, a rich, revelatory sonic memoir that faces down doubt and despair with love, resilience, and commitment at every turn.
Featuring thirteen new tracks clocking in under twenty minutes, SCALP’s grip tightens around the neck until the knuckles go white, emblematic of classic tension and release found on blistering classics like Dystopia’s Human = Garbage, Terrorizer’s World Downfall and Rotten Sound’s Exit.
Ava Max has officially entered her most fearless era yet, one defined by brutal honesty, resilience, and unmatched pop. From heartbreak survivor to self-love icon, she’s not just back, she’s bolder than ever with her third full-length album, Don’t Click Play [Atlantic Records]. In this body of work, you can hear a woman embracing her power and stepping into the artist she was always meant to be. It’s not just an album, it’s a declaration. The project was built during a time of heartbreak, betrayal, and personal reinvention, and it shows. She returned to the studio not to escape the pain, but to face it head-on. Ava says, “But this entire album was made to prove people wrong.” With Don’t Click Play, she doesn’t just push back the narrative—she kicks the door down. It’s raw, it’s personal, it’s the Ava everyone wants. She’s taking it to the max.
The Hives Forever, Forever The Hives is the band’s 7th studio LP, a razor-sharp culmination of their rupturing, signature “powder-keg” (NYT) rock n roll energy that initially captured the zeitgeist during the garage rock revival in the early 2000s. The Hives continue to reach sky-high on the new album, with the majority of it recorded in one take at Yung Lean/YEAR0001’s studio and riksmixningsverket – a studio owned by Benny Andersson of ABBA in Stockholm. The record was produced by their longtime collaborator Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Viagra Boys, Yung Lean, Elvira) as well as the band’s old tourmate Mike D of the Beastie Boys, who flew out to Sweden specifically to work on the album and hosted the band at his studio in Malibu. Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age consulted on the record, too.

“The Clearing” the brand new album from Wolf Alice, releases 29th August 2025.
Written in Seven Sisters and recorded in LA with Grammy-winning, master producer Greg Kurtsin last year, ‘The Clearing’ reveals where Wolf Alice stand sonically in 2025, delivering a supremely confident collection of songs bursting with ambition, ideas and emotion.
Full of deep empathy, sober insights, and lively guitar licks, Rodney Crowell’s new album takes its title from a seemingly mundane stretch of four-lane blacktop that runs deep into Louisiana. It’s the road he and producer Tyler Bryant drove to reach the remote studio where they recorded these songs, hauling a truckload of gear on a two-day journey that ended in swamps. Along the way Crowell looked up the route they were driving: Airline Highway. It’s the southernmost segment of Highway 61, also called the Blues Highway or the Great River Road, and it follows the Mississippi River from Minnesota down to New Orleans. Crowell is intimately familiar with this part of the country. He grew up on the east side of Houston, just a few hours west of the state line, and made wild forays into Louisiana as a young man to drink or carouse or mostly to catch live music.
Airline Highway is an album full of old, abiding loves, whether it’s a favorite song or a lover you remember fondly. Songs like “Sometime Thang” and “Rainy Days in California” (the latter featuring Lukas Nelson) raise a glass to old romances and encounters with different women in California or down in Louisiana: falling in love, toughing out hard times, growing apart until they become “that small voice on your phone,” to quote a devastating line on “Taking Flight,” co-written with and featuring Ashley McBryde. Some are fictional, Crowell explains, but they all contain some kernel of truth.
“At a basic level there are a lot more years behind me than there are ahead of me. I’m up in my seventieth decade of my life, and I’m glad that I’m still looking forward to certain things I want to do, but a lot of what’s worth talking about is behind me.” One of the things Crowell looks forward to is making more music with musicians he genuinely loves. “I’m just in love with the experience now. I’ve worked with amazing people in the past, but I was looking too far ahead. I wanted the music we were creating to make a name for me, so I wasn’t completely present with them. My ego was involved. But now my ego seems to have finally evaporated. Now it’s just about the work and what a blessing it is to be able to do it. The work truly feeds me in the moment.”
For nearly a decade Margo Price has created a lane where independent-minded, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream. Now she’s back with an exquisite, timeless album that reconnects with her roots. At its core Hard Headed Woman is about that furious instinct to never waver—especially when our values and future are so clearly on the line. It's country music as only Price can make it: free of rules, cherishing tradition, hard headed but with a delicate beating heart.
With 15 gold awards, six platinum awards and over ten million records sold, HELLOWEEN are celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary with the successor to their self-titled #1 album from 2021. “GIANTS & MONSTERS” is the second album for the legendary line-up and the title immediately states where the album is heading. Confident and bursting with vigor, the septet presents what probably is the most versatile album of their career. With five strong songwriters and seven world-class musicians, creative limits are set aside once and for all on “GIANTS & MONSTERS”. Consistently topping superlatives and presenting yet another milestone with “GIANTS & MONSTERS” requires the courage to keep reinventing a colossus like HELLOWEEN. “In the end, we’re just seven guys who want to make music and enjoy the incomparable force that arises when we’re together. HELLOWEEN is way more powerful than the sum of its parts.”
Baltimore’s End It is telling it like it is on their debut album, Wrong Side Of Heaven, set for release this summer. The hardcore band has built a reputation through being unapologetically outspoken, playing fast, ripping songs, and putting on an electrifying live show. Now they’re ready to enter their next era.
Formed in 2017, the band consists of vocalist Akil Godsey, drummer Chris Gonzalez, guitarist Ray Lee, and bassist Patrick Martin. Signed to Flatspot Records, End It came out strong with the release of their self-titled EP the same year they started, and followed it up with 2020’s One Way Track EP. In the summer of 2022, the band took the hardcore world by storm with their Unpleasant Living EP, solidifying the Baltimore outfit as one of the most exciting acts in the genre. Following the release, End It embarked on a packed touring and festival schedule across North America and Europe, playing alongside No Warning, Terror, Cold World, Drain, Speed, Angel Du$t, Scowl, and many more. The band’s reach goes even farther with breakout single “New Age Slavery” featured on the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4.
No matter where they are and what they’re doing, End It is true to keeping things authentically them and that shines through on the forthcoming Wrong Side Of Heaven. Entering Salad Days Studio with renowned producer Brian McTernan (Turnstile, Snapcase, Hot Water Music) the band came in with a few demos and wrote the majority of the album during the two month recording process in early 2025. Taking direction from classic hardcore, thrash, and soul music, End It has crafted a 15 song magnum opus centered on “Spreading awareness of the change that’s coming to Americans, personal growth, and maintaining the ethics and integrity of hardcore.”
Busting open with the title track, the band’s thumping, groove-driven rhythms take center stage, and then “Pale Horse” puts Godsey’s charismatic and chaotic vocal delivery on full display. As the record progresses, the growth in End It’s sonic direction is evident with every unique note and distinct riff hitting larger than ever. Godsey’s lyrics not only feel like a gut punch, but serve as a point of self and world examination. From “Billion Dollar Question” - “Who must die, to keep you in your luxury?” - to “Anti-Colonial” - “A better tomorrow for you and me, forever we will scream for those unseen.”
A surprise moment comes in track 14, a cover of Maximum Penalty’s “Could You Love Me.” The New York Hardcore band has served as a huge influence to End It from the beginning, and they give profound justice to the heartfelt track. Closer “Empire’s Demise” has enough bounce for the moshers and delivers an impactful commentary on the current state of America. “250 years. Empires can not last. I hope the end comes quicker than that” exclaims Godsey before the song descends into swirling madness.
While no one can predict the future, End It has created an album that will assuredly stand the test of these uncertain times with Wrong Side Of Heaven.
Man's Best Friend is the latest album from multi-hyphenate global popstar Sabrina Carpenter. Coming off her GRAMMY-winning project, Short n' Sweet, and numerous multi-platinum singles added to her resume, the latest from Carpenter is bursting with high energy pop and criss-crossing genres in only a way that she can.
It's been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band-made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bass-dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car. The fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: "I think the change in environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to it," Dreyer says.Partly inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car reckons with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal self-driving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives. In fourteen dynamic tracks, the band grapples with the existential topic and the human need to find comfort and a sense of security in an existence where we're often thrust into chaos without permission.
It was winter in Manhattan. The streets were frozen and still the band rode bicycles to the Power Station on 53rd and back to Brooklyn for three weeks. Three weeks that would mark the birth of Double Infinity - the album that constitutes a grand departure for Big Thief. An ultramodern community of musicians gathered in the warm wooden room where Bruce once stood. They all tracked together – simultaneously – improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries.
Laraaji created drones with zither and an iPad and sang intuitive vocal melodies. Joshua Crumbly played bass; Mikey Buishas made live tape loops and played keys; Mikel Patrick Avery, Jon Nellen, and Caleb Michel played percussion; Adam Brisbin played guitar; and Hannah Cohen, Alena Spanger and June McDoom sang background vocals. Along with core members Adrianne, Buck, and James, the group played for nine hours a day. Double Infinity is the archive of this play. It could only have been produced, engineered, and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks.
“Double Infinity,” reaches into the idea of inner and outer worlds, and the body as the bridge. It speaks to the purgatory created by the human brain, always looking to the past or future, between the things we’ve lost and the things we want, between desire and regret. “Beauty speak to me, let me know you, let me see myself inside your mystery, through the crystal cage of aging.” It calls for true beauty to speak, not fabricated, conditioned ideas of beauty. At the bridge between “what is forming” and “what is fading”, between “losing and of gaining”, “mourning and celebrating”, perhaps there is solace in “the eye behind the essence, still, unmovable”, that which is “unchanging”, outside of time. Is it love?

In the making of his fourth full-length, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter dreamed up a batch of songs exploring the longing and unease of being far from home-a true-to-life reflection he soon expanded into an elaborate concept album about a pilot lost in space. The latest addition to an acclaimed catalog including his 2017 breakthrough Face Your Fear (co-produced by Danger Mouse), Departures & Arrivals: The Adventures of Captain Curt merges the lavish scope of a space opera with the pure feeling of classic soul-ultimately bringing an even greater potency to his wildly eclectic sound.

Baxter Dury returns with his highly anticipated tenth studio album, Allbarone, produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & The Machine). The collaboration was sparked after a backstage meeting at Glastonbury 2024. Together they dreamt up Allbarone’s nine-track tour-de-force, stripping everything away and building Baxter’s most melodically direct, futuristic collection.
Crafted during intense three-hour daily sessions at Epworth’s Church Studios in North London, the project marks another bold reinvention for Dury. “It doesn’t sound like a band made it… It’s just something that’s brand new for me.”

REST IN PEACE JOHN DAVID SOUTHER (1945-2024)
The Souther Hillman Furay Band were one of the first supergroups of the mid-seventies which brought together the super talented sounds of John David Souther who was known for his angelic voice and arsenal of hit songs with bands like The Eagles, The Byrds' co-founder multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and hit songwriter Chris Hillman, who had just left Manassas with Stephen Stills, and the powerful voice, guitar and acclaimed songwriter Richie Furay of Poco/Buffalo Springfield fame.
The three artists got together and recorded the #11 chart hit album "The Souther Hillman Furay Band" in 1974 on the relatively new L.A. based Asylum Records label. With production from Richie Podolor (Steppenwolf/Alice Cooper/Three Dog Night), the album would deliver several rock radio hits like "Safe At Home" "Border Town" and the hit single "Fallin' In Love."
The powerful band consisted of the three principles along with Jim Gordon on drums (Derek & The Dominos), Al Perkins on steel guitar/guitars (Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas) , Paul Harris (Manassas/B.B. King) and Joe Lala (Crosby, Stills & Nash/Dan Fogelberg).
More brilliance would be found within thanks to the songwriting skills of all three artists with tunes like Souther's stellar ballad "Deep, Dark and Dreamless" Hillman's classic "Heavenly Fire" and Furay's stunning "Believe Me."
Friday Music is very pleased to announce the first-time ever Clear Blue Vinyl -50th Anniversary Edition of "The Souther Hillman Furay Band." Mastered impeccably by long-time friend and associate Joe Reagoso (The Byrds/Richie Furay/SHF Band) from the 1974 Asylum recordings, this super limited pressing will also be featured in the long out-of-print gatefold cover, now featuring new liner notes from Chris Hillman and Richie Furay.
"The Souther Hillman Furay Band" album will be one of the more important classic rock revisits this year, brought to you by your friends at Friday Music. Enjoy!

Five original studio albums, recorded in New York City across one week in August 1965: Boppin', Smokin', Groovin', Comin' On, Cool Burnin' are being made available on vinyl for the first time in over 50-years. Representing a critical moment in his career, Chet Baker hooked up with a superlative band for these recordings: George Coleman; Kirk Lightsey; Herman Wright and Roy Brooks play throughout on these thrilling sets, which were originally issued by Prestige Recordings. New Land has gained full access to the original analog mono tapes, and Kevin Gray has remastered and cut (AAA), giving them fresh sonic detail. At the centre of this package is a book featuring an incredibly detailed essay by GRAMMYr award nominee James Gavin which intertwines the true story behind these recordings with interviews from those who were involved. Illustrated with rare photographs and ephemera, this is the deepest dive into these recordings to date. These aren't just "late-era" Chet recordings - they're a document of reinvention. For collectors, this fills a crucial gap between his iconic 1950s cool jazz era and his darker 1970s European sessions.

LORNA SHORE has scaled unexpected heights, played to the biggest crowds of their career and literally walked through fire to arrive at I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me. This New Jersey quintet’s latest album picks up where they left off on the now classic Pain Remains. While the album’s first single, “Oblivion” is classic LORNA SHORE, it’s with the likes of the anthemic “Unbreakable”, the pathos-driven “Glenwood” or the triumphant guitar melodies of “Lionheart” that you can hear the sound of extreme metal pushing through its own boundaries, informed by topping huge festivals and bashing through arenas with the likes of Gojira and Mastodon. LORNA SHORE’s ascent has been nothing short of breathtaking and I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me is nothing short of their career defining album.
Following the release of Antibloom, Silverstein returns with Pink Moon: the second chapter in their ambitious 16-song double album, conceived and recorded during a transformative stretch in the high desert of Joshua Tree. Born from the same sessions as Antibloom, the songs on Pink Moon were sequenced with intention, offering a distinct yet complementary listening experience. Known for their meticulous attention to flow and emotional pacing, the band crafted both halves to stand on their own while also telling a broader, interconnected story, one that ebbs and crashes like the desert winds that shaped it.
Pink Moon features the only guest appearances on the project, with stunning contributions from Cassadee Pope and Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker - voices chosen mid-process when the band sensed the need to push certain songs into new sonic territory. The result is a bold and diverse body of work that expands Silverstein's dynamic range while staying true to their emotional core. By releasing the project in two halves, the band has given every song the room to breathe, resonate, and evolve: a fitting strategy for a year packed with touring, celebration, and reflection. The moon has risen. The story continues.
Girl Violence is the third album from King Princess. Written after walking away from a long-term relationship, a major label deal, and a city that dulled her spark, the album captures the chaos, clarity, and catharsis of starting over. Since her breakout with “1950,” a platinum-certified anthem with over a billion streams, King Princess has carved out a singular space in modern pop. Now, she takes full creative control with a record that’s emotionally feral and sonically fearless.
NYC sibling duo Frost Children’s new album SISTER is an electrifying mix of classic EDM, nostalgic French electro, and iconic emo-influenced songwriting – a colossal and often shocking evolution from 2023’s double LPs SPEED RUN (Dazed cover, The Guardian One to Watch, FIFA 24 official soundtrack) and Hearth Room (PAPER Mag cover, GQ Best Albums of 2023, Pitchfork 7.4).

Progressive metal visionaries Between the Buried and Me return with their most immersive and eclectic record yet—The Blue Nowhere, their first on InsideOutMusic. Mixing uncharted musical detours with their distinctive aggressive identity, the band create a conceptual world unlike anything in their incredible catalog, inviting the listener to experience the journey on their own terms.
Though the story takes place in a hotel—The Blue Nowhere—don’t expect haunted corridors or shadowy figures behind every door. “It’s more of a feeling—those moments when you feel alone in the world and use that solitude to reflect on the human experience,” Rogers clarifies. “It exists in a space where no one can find you, hidden from all forms of reality- That’s The Blue Nowhere.”
Trying something new is not unusual for the group, who once again find ways to expand their musical palette while maintaining the band’s core sound. No more surprising is the album opener, “Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark,” which sets the tone with INXS & Duran Duran-inspired textures, even incorporating 90125-era Yes, filtered through BTBAM’s signature chaos. Meanwhile, “Absent Thereafter” is a quintessential BTBAM track. Layered, intense, and unrelentingly dynamic, this 10+ minute opus delivers everything a BTBAM fan could want and more.
Between the Buried and Me remain allergic to stagnation, and The Blue Nowhere proves their creative drive is stronger than ever. “It feels like a natural evolution for the band,” says Rogers. “We’re not repeating ourselves. We’re lucky to have a fanbase that’s along for the ride.”
