Hitting The Racks

Here's your weekly rundown of what's hitting the new release racks at Grimey's

New Releases

Jeremie Albino – Our Time In The Sun CD/LP (Easy Eye Sound)

Jeremie Albino, the magnetic Canadian singer-songwriter, presents his Easy Eye Sound debut, Our Time In The Sun. Produced by Dan Auerbach, this album melds the rich textures of soulful folk, Americana, and gritty blues, showcasing Albino's evocative voice and sincere storytelling. Deeply personal, grounded in his own history and infused with a palpable, raw energy, the collection is an intimate and powerful listening experience, affirming Albino's place as a resonant force in contemporary music.

Axel Boman - Space Drag 12" (Studio Barnhus)

Axel Boman returns in defiantly good form with a brand-new original EP on his very own Studio Barnhus label, blessing this fast-paced world with some slow-moving music inspired by the Eterna Primavera mountains outside Medellin. Specifically, this record was created during months of isolation spent on an avocado farm, with the Swedish producer letting the outside world disappear bit by bit, until only clear shapes of unclear importance remained. Of course, this is all just an attempt to poetically describe a collection of tracks that sound exactly like the kind of disco business Axel has been meddling in for the last 15 years.

Boyscott - Spellbound CD/LP/Cassette (Topshelf)

In the Spellbound sonic universe, enchanting hooks about friendship and growing up in New Jersey orbit driving verses that prize brevity, never laboring longer than necessary. On lead single "Rocky Road," Boyscott explore the mental gymnastics required for a career in music, pulling on the threads of fear and excitement they experienced in their early tours. Such reflection is abundant on Spellbound: "Arthur Kill" refers to the peculiar beauty of a boat graveyard in the Arthur Kill tidal strait; where "Lima" interpolates a song that stuck with Hermo since high school. All told, Spellbound continues what Boyscott started with Goose Bumps, honing their pristinely arranged indie pop morsels into a fully realized sound that vindicates the near ten-year wait.

Surya Botofasina - Ashram Sun CD/2xLP (Spiritmuse)

Ashram Sun', Surya Botofasina's much-anticipated album follows his hugely acclaimed debut 'Everyone's Children' and his first offering since his contribution to 'New Blue Sun' and global touring alongside André 3000. It is an ode to Surya's upbringing and musical teachings in the tradition of Swamini Turiyasangitananda - aka Alice Coltrane, by the spiritual jazz colossus Herself, at Her Sai Anantam Ashram in California. 'Ashram Sun' is a deep listening, spiritual masterpiece with close collaborators Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau, and is produced by the prolific Carlos Niño, whose vision has become a pivotal point for contemporary progressive jazz music.

Cosmic Tones Research Trio – All Is Sound LP (Mississippi)

Portland's finest practitioners of Great Black Music offering to the planet! All Is Sound could not be a more apt title for this. Through saxophone, cello, piano, and flutes The Cosmic Tones Research Trio created a truly beautiful record. All Is Sound breaks new ground. At its heart, it's healing/meditation music, but the gospel and blues roots are in there too... as well as hints of forward-looking spiritual jazz. As sincere a record as you could ever hope for. Music is indeed the healing force of the universe.

The Cure – Songs Of A Lost World CD/2xCD+Blu-ray/LP (Capitol)

After 16 years, The Cure is back with their 14th studio album, Songs Of A Lost World. Songs from the record were previewed during their 90-date, 33-country ‘Shows Of A Lost World’ tour for more than 1.3 million people to overwhelming fan and critical acclaim. Speaking about “Alone,” the opening track on the album, Robert Smith says, “It’s the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded, I knew it was the opening song and I felt the whole album come into focus… that was the moment when I knew the song – and the album – were real.” [Deluxe Edition in 6-panel digisleeve includes the album and instrumentals on two CDs, plus a Blu-ray with Hi-Res stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes. An indie store exclusive marble grey vinyl pressing is also available.] Some of the formats are here, including indie exclusive vinyl, while some are still in transit.

[Limited edition gold vinyl.]

Warren Haynes – Million Voice Whisper CD/2xCD (Fantasy)

Million Voices Whisper is the third Fantasy solo album (following Man in Motion and Ashes & Dust) by the remarkable musician/songwriter Warren Haynes. Enlisting an all-star core of support, including New Orleans-native Terence Higgins on drums, organist and keyboard wiz John Medeski, Mule bassist Kevin Scott, and genius guitarist Derek Trucks, Haynes has been inspired to craft his best work, eleven original songs that establish a high bar in a genre that could easily be termed modern classic rock. [The deluxe 2xCD edition includes four bonus tracks. An indie store exclusive canary yellow vinyl shipped late and will arrive next week.]

Illiterate Light – Arches LP (Thirty Tigers/Red Book)

It's dangerous to put Illiterate Light in a box, especially with the release of their new album, Arches. Are they a guitar-driven indie rock duo? Kaleidoscopic neo-psychedelia? Synth-kissed, harmony-laden folk? What does one do with an album beginning with "fake tits and diet coke," then pivoting to train derailments in rural Ohio and never-ending black holes? These prolific farmers-turned-rockers have captured the energy of their live shows - fans crowd-surfing, moshing, crying, and crooning-and infused it into their latest release. Illiterate Light's third album, Arches, is not a passageway but an arrival. "We're no longer striving to define a sound," said drummer Jake Cochran. "We're leaning into sides of ourselves that have felt off-limits, sticking to what feels right rather than concerning ourselves with comparison." Turquoise color vinyl.

Lil Peep – Lil Peep; Part One CD/LP (Death Note Music)

Lil Peep; Part One was Lil Peep's first major project, created in his bedroom in Long Island, New York. It marks a significant moment in Peep's career as it laid the foundation for his unique blend of emo, punk, and hip-hop. The project features raw, emotionally charged lyrics paired with haunting melodies, reflecting Peep's struggles with mental health, heartbreak, and substance abuse. The project features some of his most popular songs, including “Praying To the Sky” and “The Way I See Things.” It also includes unique samples from artists such as Thirty Seconds to Mars, Flyleaf, Lil B, and the theme song of Fullmetal Alchemist. [Limited edition purple pantone with glitter color vinyl.]

Loidis - One Day 2LP (Incienso)

Six years after the release of the A Parade, In The Place I Sit, The Floating World (& All Its Pleasures) EP on anno Records, Brian Leeds, aka Huerco S., returns to the Loidis project with his debut album One Day on Incienso. Hypnotic tech house with Leeds' trademark sonic manipulation and attention to detail.

Loose Cattle – Someone’s Monster LP (Single Lock)

Loose Cattle, the five-piece roots rock outfit declared "favorite Americana cowpunks in New Orleans" by OffBeat Magazine work to make music that matters, aligning themselves with, and advocating for, people at the margins of our society. In the band's mind, if "Americana" is to mean anything, it should mean inclusion and a diverse music scene populated by the people the American Dream crushed. The misfits and outcasts are who they sing for and choose to dance with. 

Machine Girl – MG Ultra CD/LP (Future Classics)

Anthemic and fast-paced, the new studio album MG Ultra is Machine Girl's heaviest music to date and offers a boiling-the-frog intro to MG for new fans. MG lore juxtaposes whether the picture painted is that of reality, a fantastical escape or a jarring future. Infamous for cathartic, unpredictable performances and genre-agnostic catalog, Machine Girl's vitriolic, organic following has developed through sonic maximalism and anime/B-horror visual flair. [Indie store exclusive translucent green vinyl.]

mxmtoon – liminal space LP (Turtle Girl)

Since she was 17 years old, mxmtoon has made exquisitely catchy pop songs that capture the kind of complex and tender feelings we often keep hidden from the world. Now 24, mxmtoon found her relationship to songwriting profoundly transformed in the making of her third album liminal space, a body of work informed by a period of major upheaval and uncertainty in her family life. When met with a bigger and bolder sound threaded with elements of country and folk and indie-rock—achieved thanks to her all-female lineup of collaborators—the result is an up-close exploration of what she sums up as “the messy, dark, complicated, and also very beautiful chaos inherent in mother-daughter relationships.” [Limited edition galaxy marble green vinyl.]

Nachtmystium – Blight Privilege CD/LP (Prophecy)

With their ninth studio album Blight Privilege, Nachtmystium are once again presenting a masterpiece that can even compete with the trilogy of albums that many view as the peak of the earlier career of the American black metal (USBM) trailblazers: Instinct: Decay (2006), Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. I (2008), and Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II (2010). [A deluxe CD version and a blue w/ black smoke color vinyl pressing are available.]

Willie Nelson – Last Leaf On The Tree CD/2xLP (Sony Legacy)

Lovingly curated and produced by his son Micah Nelson, Last Leaf On The Tree finds Willie covering songs from moody indie rock (Beck), psych alt-pop (The Flaming Lips) and punk-informed folk (Sunny War, Micah's Particle Kid) to thought-provoking soul jazz (Nina Simone) and lesser-known gems from legends like Tom Waits, Neil Young, Keith Richards, and Warren Zevon. In addition, the album features new takes on one of Willie's oldest songs ("The Ghost" from 1962) plus a new one penned with Micah ("The Color Of Sound") that joins Willie's collection of Zen-soaked classics. In addition to producing, Micah Nelson plays many of the instruments and even designed the album cover. He is joined by a host of celebrated musicians plus guest spots from legendary producer and musician Daniel Lanois, John Densmore of The Doors and harmonica master Mickey Raphael, who has played alongside Willie for over 50 years. [Limited edition ‘amber fossil’ color vinyl.]

Planes Mistaken For Stars – Do You Still Love Me? LP (Deathwish Inc.)

A harrowing document of life, death and transcendence, Do You Still Love Me? is the fifth album from Planes Mistaken for Stars (PMFS), the band's first new music since 2016. It is also the first PMFS release since the death of frontman Gared O'Donnell, whose cancer diagnosis loomed heavily over the recording and whose ghost guided the mix. Chemo and radiation would not stop him from making this masterpiece, in which the band finds itself reeling from the gut-wrenching horrors of their leader's unimaginable absence. [Iindie store exclusive blue/black galaxy vinyl.]

Luke Sanger - Dew Point Harmonics LP (Balmat)

Luke Sanger's new album feels like a natural extension of his inaugural record for Balmat: It's a bewitching collection of esoteric synth sketches that slips unpredictably between consonant repetition, poignant melodies, and gnarled bursts of noise that catch in the ear like burrs in hiking socks. A shapeshifting collection of richly detailed and deeply expressive electronic miniatures, Dew Point Harmonics is both a testament to the mysteries of transformation and an invitation to get lost in the wilderness of your own imagination.

Skillet – Revolution CD (Hear It Loud)

Skillet rally around ten insurgent, infectious, and inimitable anthems on their aptly titled twelfth full-length offering and first-ever independent album, Revolution. The band serve up their signature arena-shaking rock uplifted by soaring guitar solos, hard-hitting riffs, cinematic strings, and some of the catchiest and most confident choruses of their storied career to date. From the tongue-in-cheek, barnstorming first single “Unpopular,” the unpredictable and undeniable dynamics of “Ash In The Wind,” and fist-pumping clarion call of “Not Afraid” to the swaggering opener “Show Time” and tender ballad “Happy Wedding Day (Alex’s Song),” this is Skillet reignited, re-energized, and ready for revolution. [A red in black color vinyl pressing is available for special order.]

J Spaceman & John Coxon – Music For Wiliam Eggletson’s Stranded In Canton CD/LP (Fat Possum)

Stranded In Canton is a black-and-white film portrait of Memphis in 1974, shot in bars and on street corners, showing Eggleston's friends carousing, playing music and firing pistols into the night sky. It is raw, greasy, Quaalude-y and hot. Jagged and intimate, the film is a handheld window into a different world; "Hogarth on Beale Street" as writer Richard Williams describes it in the album's liner notes. Restored and re-edited by Eggleston in collaboration with the author Robert Gordon, the 77-minute film was screened in 2015 as part of Doug Aitken's Station to Station, a 30-day arts festival in London and Aitken recruited J Spaceman to provide a live score.

SYML – Infinity LP (Nettwerk)

Black ice w/ white splatter vinyl. SYML - Welsh for "simple" - makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist. 

Thus Love – All Pleasure CD/LP (Captured Tracks)

Stimulation is easy to come by these days. Streaming platforms and social media offer us endless fleeting moments of diversion that keep what we call the "pleasure zones" of our brains lit up morning till night. But for such a supposedly hedonistic time, real pleasure-the kind that feeds our soul rather than draining it, that makes us feel good instead of just distracting us from the fact that we feel bad-is in shockingly short supply. The second LP by Brattleboro, Vermont's Thus Love is full of that kind of nourishing euphoria. It swoons, shakes, and swaggers with a combination of grit and sensuality that's been hard to locate in music lately. It fills your brain with barbed melodic hooks that once they sink in don't budge. [A silver color vinyl pressing is available.]

UFO95 - Backward Improvement 12" (Tresor)

Writing about techno is quite difficult without falling into cliché: there are only so many ways that you can say something about a music whose core elements are forged on deliberate repetition. Such tracks are the hallmark of Tresor's catalogue, and this joy in repetition can be found in works from Detroit, Berlin, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and more. Perhaps it is the fact the UFO95 only performs live that had led to such crisp and focused studio productions; each of the tracks showcase the artist's burgeoning talent for creating the essential foundations of techno; perfect, looping, instinctual grooves that are counterbalanced by an apprehensive tension from off-key tones. 

Reissues, Comps, Live Recordings, Vault Excavations...

Chet Baker – Baker’s Holiday [Reissue/1965] LP (Verve)

Recorded in 1965 and showcasing a number of songs he'd never recorded before, Baker's Holiday is Chet's tribute to Billie Holiday and features his instantly identifiable trumpet along with four trademark vocals. Backed by a full sax section and a four-piece rhythm section that includes pianist Hank Jones, this classic album highlights colorful Jimmy Mundy arrangements. 

Julianna Barwick – The Magic Place [Reissue/2011] LP (Florine)

Originally released in 2011, Julianna Barwick's debut full length The Magic Place is a nine-piece full-length album of magic and solace, bursting joy, and healing tones. Julianna's mostly a cappella music is built from her multi-tracked and looped voice, with backing instrumentation, but it's the vocals-soaring high in reverb-drenched, wordless harmonies-that matter most here. Layered fragments and pieces become an intricate pattern through electronics; it's the sound of a rising thing, a big group harmony as a splash of sunlight through a car window, a sound that feels like hope and ascendance and patience and intimacy.

Elvis Costello – Kings Of America & Other Realms 2xCD/6xCD/LP (UMe)

Elvis Costello returned to his folk-rock and pub rock roots with King Of America, creating one of his most affecting and personal records with the hit single "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and other popular songs such as "Brilliant Mistake," "American Without Tears," and "Indoor Fireworks." The double-CD version is anchored by CD1: a new 2024 remaster of the album King Of America from the original master tapes. CD2: a collection of songs featuring studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes and live recordings from this wild and wonderfully odd odyssey. The Super Deluxe 6xCD version adds a 3-CD digest of Costello's studio recordings, previously unreleased demos, outtakes and live recordings from this wild and wonderfully odd odyssey.

Drive-By Truckers – American Band (Deluxe Edition) 2xLP (ATO)

It is reissued here, in another election year, with a bonus LP of live recordings, updated liners from Patterson Hood and repackaged with archival artwork from Wes Freed.

Catherine Christer Hennix – Further Selections From The Electric Harpsichord LP (Blank Forms)

Rediscovered and compiled for release shortly before her death in November 2023, Further Selections From The Electric Harpsichord presents a never-before-heard recording of composer and artist Catherine Christer Hennix's early magnum opus. Originally debuted in 1976 at the festival Brouwer's Lattice at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, The Electric Harpsichord has steadily mystified fans and students of Western minimalist music for its implacable, transformative qualities, and the long-held, relative obscurity of its creator. Like the work of Hennix's close friend La Monte Young, the piece is set in just intonation and focuses on the transcendental potentials of precise tuning, inspired by their studies with Pandit Pran Nath. Composed of bursts of oscillating, synthetic tones using a carefully retuned synthesizer and a tape-based system for feedback delay, the sounds swirl, twinkle, and appear to bend time, space, and perception. 

Bobby Hutcherson – Dialogue [Reissue/1965] LP (Blue Note)

1965's Dialogue was the debut by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, who had already proven himself a versatile sideman on albums from Idle Moments to Out To Lunch. Dialogue showcased his more adventurous leanings with a sextet featuring Freddie Hubbard, Sam Rivers, Andrew Hill, Richard Davis and Joe Chambers.

Ivy – Long Distance [Reissue/2000] LP (Bar/None)

Originally released in November 2000 Ivy's third studio album, Long Distance, is considered by many to be their breakthrough album. It's heavily influenced by trip-hop and new wave while maintaining the blend of indie pop and rock they had become known for. Long Distance includes some of Ivy's most recognizable songs like "Worry About You," "Undertow" and their signature song "Edge of the Ocean."

Cliff Jordan – Cliff Jordan [Reissue/1957] LP (Blue Note)

Under-recognized tenor Clifford Jordan blew in from Chicago with a trio of excellent Blue Note sessions in 1957, including this self-titled release featuring a septet with Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), John Jenkins (alto sax), Ray Bryant (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Art Taylor (drums).

Tim McGraw – Not A Moment Too Soon [Reissue/1994] LP (Curb)

Mercyful Fate - Don’t Break the Oath LP (Metal Blade)

40th anniversary reissue on ruby red vinyl. All of Mercyful Fate's potential was fulfilled on Don't Break the Oath, a doomy, gothic collection of post-Priest/Maiden black metal preoccupied with Satan and the occult. Hank Shermann and Michael Denner keep their progressive rock tendencies reigned in while still delivering plenty of the neo-classical feel that gives the music it's atmosphere, and King Diamond uses his vocal range to great theatrical effect.

George Michael – Careless Whisper [Reissue/1984] 12” (Sony Legacy)

Instrumental and extended mixes of George Michael’s iconic pop song and a previously unreleased live version recorded at Madison Square Garden, New York. This EP was cut at 45rpm at half speed and on pressed on 180g red marbled color vinyl.

Pink and green (respectively) colorways.

In Rival Schools he was joined by bandmates Ian Love, Cache Tolman and Sammy Siegler, whose other projects at the time include Iceburn, CIV and Glassjaw. Pedals continued the legacy of blending pop melodies with hardcore ethos that the band cemented 10 years before on their debut album United By Fate; Found is a collection of rarities, demos and alternate takes of songs collected in the years following that album.

Richard Swift – 4 Hits & A Miss - The Essential Richard Swift LP (Secretly Canadian)

Devotees of Richard Swift know that his catalog is sprawly and imaginative, packed with as many finely-honed stone cold classics as one-take, madman experiments. The gems take all shapes and sizes, and while it doesn't phase the diehard, it does make Swift's music tricky to introduce to the newcomer: Where to start? What makes the cut? How many crooners? How many wild ones? It's with this in mind that Secretly Canadian presents 4 Hits & A Miss, a humble swing at gathering the forty-seven minutes and fourteen songs that can initiate the uninitiated.
