On Last Man Dancing, Jake Shears turns his lifelong love affair with club culture into his most ambitious pop music to date. The album was brought to vivid life by Jake Shears and a close crew of collaborators, including head-turning features from Kylie Minogue, Jane Fonda, Iggy Pop, Amber Martin, and a pre-Renaissance turn from the iconic Big Freedia.

Recorded at Ardent Studios and released in 1972, the album has gone on to become one of the most influential and iconic debut albums of all time. This 50th-anniversary edition is pressed on 180-gram metallic gold with purple smoke vinyl and features all-analog mastering by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. The album has been included in Rolling Stone�s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, with the song �Thirteen� featured in its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The indie variant includes�three�exclusive screen-printed inserts, each inspired by the three acts of ATUM.

�PERMANENT.RADIANT is the newest EP from the darkly cinematic duo ��� (Crosses) featuring Chino Moreno of Deftones on vocals and Shaun Lopez on production and instrumentation. This project features the previously released singles �Vivien� and �Sensation,� along with the once exclusive vinyl track �Day One.� Eerie synth arrangements and pulsating percussion culminate in a lush, sprawling soundscape captured throughout this collection of songs. Chino Moreno's lyrics and vocal textures combined with Shaun Lopez's immersive production and sound design create a world that will likely transport anyone who listens to places both familiar and new.�

Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Beach House, Spoon, The Flaming Lips) , Temples fourth full-length album takes place in an impossibly utopic island dreamed up by the four band members. With its resplendent collage of psychedelia, krautrock and time-bending dream-pop, Exotico brings that world to life in crystalline detail, all while exploring an entire spectrum of existential themes: impermanence, mortality, our connection with nature and the wild immensity of the mind.

72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told �who we are� by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.�

-James Hetfield

The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they've cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who�ve grown alongside them through the years. That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band's eighth studio album. Recorded analog to 16-track tape, this latest effort finds its three creators embracing the chemistry of their acclaimed live shows by capturing their performances in real-time direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight. An acoustic-driven album that electrifies, Heart is the Hero is stocked with songs that target not only the heart, but the head and hips, too.

"We love records that come from the era of less tracks and more care," explains co-founder Oliver Wood. "When you use a computer during the tracking process, you have an infinite number of tracks at your disposal, which implies that nothing is permanent, and everything can be fixed. Tape gives you limitations that force you to be creative and intentional. You don't look at the music on a screen; you listen to it, and you learn to focus on the feeling of the performance.��

Throughout Heart is the Hero, those performances are matched by the visceral storytelling and songwriting chops that have turned The Wood Brothers into Grammy-nominated leaders of American roots music, even as their music reaches far beyond the genre's borders. The stripped-down swagger of "Pilgrim'' underscores Oliver's reminder to slow down and experience each moment as an interactive observer, rather than a passive tourist. A similar theme anchors �Between the Beats," where Oliver draws upon a meditation technique � maintaining one's focus on the space between heartbeats � to reach a new level of presence. The gentle sway of country soul gem �Rollin� On,� featuring horns by Matt Glassmeyer and Roy Agee, expounds on the time-honored tradition of love as the guiding light through darkness, while �Mean Man World" finds Chris Wood singing about his responsibilities as a father whose young daughter is poised to inherit an uncertain future. "Line Those Pockets'' is a universal call for mercy and understanding over materialism. "Everybody's just trying to be happy, so put your money away; line those pockets with grace," the band sings in three-part harmony during the song's chorus, which emphasizes compassion over cash as the world's true currency. Together, these songs offer a snapshot of a spirited, independent-minded group at the peak of its powers, always pushing forward and seeking to evolve beyond what�s come before.

"There's still acoustic guitar, upright bass, and percussion on this album � things people use all the time � but we're always thinking, 'How can we make this sound like us, but not like something we've already done?'" Oliver says. "Sometimes, the only way to do that is to get weird.�

That sense of exploration pumps its way through Heart is the Hero like lifeblood. Arriving on the heels of 2019's Live at The Fillmore, 2020's Kingdom In My Mind, and Oliver Wood's solo album Always Smilin' � all of which were released on Honey Jar Records, the band's independent label� Heart is the Hero is bold, bright, and singularly creative, a fully realized collective effort ultimately greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps that's to be expected from a group whose willingness to experiment has earned acclaim from Rolling Stone and NPR, as well as an annual touring schedule of sold-out music halls and theaters on both sides of the Atlantic. Ask The Wood Brothers, though, and they'll tell you to expect the unexpected.

"We are never satisfied if we are not searching for new musical recipes," says Jano Rix, nodding to the uncharted territory that Heart is the Hero covers. Chris Wood agrees, adding, "We are one of those bands that isn't easily categorized. We know what our strengths are, but we can�t help but push the envelope, as well. It�s too much fun."

After seven years, Daughter are back � a generational band with well over 1 billion streams across three records. Since their debut in 2013, Elena Tonra�s intimate, crushingly honest lyrics have been a lifeline for the band�s fans, whilst also finding a gateway to the likes of alternative giants Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver. �Be On Your Way� is warmly optimistic in tone, finding a lightness in Tonra�s poetry, whilst still desperately evoking an emotional resonance unmatched in the alternative space.

Ever since their emergence in early 2016 HMLTD, avid advocates of the Gesamtkunstwerk, have always striven to give audiences more. On their wildly ambitious second album, they are realising these aims on a truly epic scale.Created over the course of two years with a cast of 47 musicians � including a gospel choir and a 16-piece string orchestra � The Worm is less a concept album than a fully-fledged musical universe, transcending genre and medium. Set in a disorienting anachronistic version of Medieval England � as steeped in dystopian sci-fi fantasy as it is folklore and Old English mythology � it�s part political polemic, part deeply moving psychological journey.Though always admired for their defiantly genre-agnostic approach, The Worm sees HMLTD pushing sonic experimentation to a whole new level, from dissonant free jazz riffing to vintage soul and English folk fusions to rock opera. Major musical touchpoints included Stravinsky�s �Rite Of Spring�, Pink Floyd and Nina Simone�s rendition of �Sinnerman� and references for the world of The Worm included 14th century texts The Canterbury Tales and The Decameron, Aleksey German�s 2013 sci-fi film Hard To Be A God, Bergman�s The Seventh Seal, Tarkovsky�s Andrei Rublev and the hopeful narrative arc of 90s mecha anime series �Neon Genesis Evangelion�.

�I felt a Funeral, in my Brain� is a rare duet in Andrew Bird�s deep discography. He and Phoebe Bridgers join forces to share a haunting reimagination of the Emily Dickinson poem, �I felt a Funeral, in my Brain.� Sparse and spectral, the arrangement pairs chilling, swelling shrieks of strings with the slight strum of guitar, as Bird and Bridgers trade verses and soar in harmony over Dickinson�s words. And paired with a B-Side rarity, "The Twistable, Turnable Man Returns", Andrew's tribute to the Shel Silverstein poem.

Remastered vinyl reissue of the rock supergroup�s debut album from 2001 featuring Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Battles, Helmet) and Kevin Rutmanis (Melvins). This is the first time the out-of-print vinyl has ever been available individually.

Vinyl reissue of the rock supergroup�s fourth album from 2013 featuring Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Battles, Helmet) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle). The album has been out of print for almost ten years and is now back in limited variants.

Formed in 1987 in Ume�, Sweden, Meshuggah have gone on to be called �one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands� by Rolling Stone and have earned the respect and admiration from fans and musicians alike.�

It is impossible to talk about experimental or avantgarde metal without mentioning this truly groundbreaking act: MESHUGGAH mix ultra-complicated rhythmic patterns with massive riffs and aggressive growls, combining Death Metal, Mathcore, Thrash and Progressive Metal to create their unique style.

The year 2023 now marks the 15th anniversary of the band�s milestone: "ObZen".

Yet another masterpiece of diversity and surprises as a whole, the album contains the band�s absolute massive hit, �Bleed� � the song that tore through the industry like a shockwave and had fans and musician peers alike completely speechless. You could say that "ObZen" is some sort of a best of album of the band�s early works combined with fresh, new songs at that moment in time � but that�s only half the truth. Compared� to some of the gloomy lava realm of subconcious terror of previous releases, "ObZen" is a big butt kick. Some parts are still slo-mo groove infernos, but others, like the opener "Combustion", are high speed-massacres like the band never did before. Pure technical ass-kicking mayhem!

The re-release of this masterpiece comes in a beautifully enhanced digipak and stunning new vinyl colors, to complete every collector�s dream.

"During the pandemic, we started a Patreon page. Through the Patreon page, ten people purchased a song we would write for them after having a zoom chat with the band. The stories we heard in those conversations created foundations for the lyrics that evolved into ten different songs. A year or so later we decided to take them into the studio to create a new album. During the studio sessions, we realized we wanted a song to summarize the process and tell the story of the project. One afternoon during the session we came up with the title �10 Stories High� and matched it up with a melody that Pete and Bryan had recorded earlier on their phones. We really liked how the title added imagery of ten people in a ten-story building living out their own external and internal experiences. It was a perfect summary to the project. After a few hours of tinkering with the music and words we had our title track for the record."

�Remember� You Must Die� is the sound of extreme metal stalwarts SUICIDE SILENCE channeling the spirit of their classic albums like �The Cleansing� or �No Time to Bleed� and delivering a modern deathcore masterpiece. Produced by Taylor Young (Xibalba, Vitriol, Drain), �Remember� You Must Die� taps into the rawness and energy in SUICIDE SILENCE�s DNA to thunderous result. Tracks like the album�s first single, �You Must Die� and its follow-up �Capable of Violence (N.F.W.)� are proof positive that SUICIDE SILENCE are far from mellowing with time. With this record, they�re going deeper and darker, the songs often lyrically being a meditation on death and finality. Says the band: �Every second the clock ticks we grow closer to death and what happens after our short bout with time is a total mystery. �Remember� You Must Die� was written as a reminder to remember death and to not let time be our master.� With artwork by acclaimed Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough, SUICIDE SILENCE isn�t merely looking back in anger. They�re starring forward and setting the standard for metallic extremity in the process.

For The Nude Party, nearly a decade has flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, the New York-based band has released a pair of well-received albums, an EP and played numerous shows. The band has historically worked with a producer to help them create a distinct sound in their records but with their latest effort, Rides On, the band decided to handle production duties by themselves. The hands-on approach allowed the band to have as much fun creating as they ever had at any other point in their career. They recorded over 20 songs, including some that dabbled in electro-pop and stripped-down country before settling on the final 14 songs containing the best elements of �70s-driven blues rock. The relaxed vibe of the session also unleashed a diverse sonic texture compared to their previous releases. Sonically, the album is reminiscent of Sticky Fingers-era Stones, but the lyrics are mini-vignettes that embody the spirit of what The Nude Party are going for � and their growth as a band. Rides On, the band confidently says, is their best record. It�s also the most homegrown and organic record The Nude Party has created to date.

If you�re talking about modern progressive rock and don�t bring up Haken, you�re doing it wrong. Since the south English sextet started jamming together in 2004, they�ve been one of their genre�s most loyal yet, simultaneously, adventurous forces. And how do you honour such an eclectic, unpredictable career? You make Fauna: Haken�s most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date. �The premise of the album when we started writing it was that every song would have an animal assigned to it,� explains singer and co-founder Ross Jennings. �They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others.��

Kate NV�s WOW offers listeners a prismatic shift in perspective and scale, a parallel dimension in which the mundane becomes funny, unfamiliar, and altogether sensational. Turning the contents of her 2020 album Room for the Moon upside down and spilling them across a floor checkered with intrigue and surprise, Kate places sound, object, and ritual under the microscope to magnify the delight hidden in plain sight of everyday life.

WOW is Kate Shilonosova�s fourth full-length release as Kate NV in six years, and third for RVNG Intl. Her prolific musical output aligns with a highly attuned aesthetic and a deep commitment to visual world building. WOW is one of many of these worlds in which music is fully saturated with color, deeply tactile and textural. Shiny, sproingy, plastic. Where Room for the Moon embraced structure (abstractly speaking) and veered pop, WOW happily abandons conventional song shapes, parsing the experience of musical time into ecstatic fragments.

New Jersey rock band Can't Swim is releasing their 4th full length studio album called 'Thanks But No Thanks'.

�There�s Nothing Worse Than Too Late� was written and recorded over the last year and half. We went back to some of our earlier influences for it. When writing, we kept referencing more timeless bands like The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World and many others. It has always been important for us to write songs that are timeless, but that was in the front of our minds more than ever when compiling TNWTTL. We want our fans to go back and listen to these songs in five or ten years and still feel something. Lyrically it touches on depression, death, cutting long lasting ties for good and many other heavy subject matters. At the end of it all, if our fans feel less alone because of these songs then it�s a success in our eyes.
