Details: Japanese Breakfast "For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)" cassette, Frosted Shadow or Black LP variants (Dead Oceans, 2025). New stock, sealed. Description: "Over the course of 10 songs, Zauner grapples with the fickle nature of the muse — whether you’re a long-ago poet or a small-town strummer. See “Orlando in Love,” a Greek legend of a track with silky, old-movie strings and playful percussion that tells the tale of the titular poet and the sirens that drag him down in the end: “Singing his name with all the sweetness of a mother/Leaving him breathless and then drowned.” And then there’s “Mega Circuit,” a country-tinged, yet ominous tune about ATV-riding “incel eunuchs” and the women who yearn to “write my baby/A shuffle good.” Romance is a double-edged sword here — on the delicate “Leda,” which hums with death and destruction when you recall that the titular heroine was raped by Zeus in swan form — and on “Winter in L.A.,” a sweet and swinging track about wishing to be the kind of girl who loves the sun. With love and loss, inspiration and indignation, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) is a folk tale, a small-town barroom yarn, a gothic novel, and a ghost story. Don’t even try to pin her down."--Brenna Ehrlick, Rolling Stone Grade: M (new stock) TRACK LISTING: 01. Here is Someone02. Orlando in Love03. Honey Water04. Mega Circuit05. Little Girl06. Leda07.

Details: Porridge Radio “Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me” White, or Black vinyl LPs, and digipack CD variants (Secretly Canadian, 2024). New stock, sealed. Description: “… Today, Dana reflects on Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me with the enthusiasm of a real creative breakthrough. “It feels like the first time we’ve made something,” she explains, “it captured something about our friendship as a band and the way that we have learnt to play together. I love the songs, I love playing them, they haven’t gotten old to me and it feels like it’s a very singular thing.” A pause. “It’s taught me so much. Following your gut to the nth point, trusting your friends and their loyalty, trusting yourself to be able to fight with people properly and still come back together. How I want to live is how I want to make records, because making records is my life because my work is my play is my job is my life. It all ties together in this thing, and there are ways to do this that might not kill me.” Grade: M (new stock) TRACK LISTING:

Details: Billy Nomates "Metalhorse" LP/CD (Invada Records, 2025). Available on Silver Metal, or Black vinyl, and CD. New stock, sealed. Description: "Themed around a decrepit “unfair funfair” representing life’s challenges, Billy Nomates/Tor Maries began recording Metalhorse three months after her father’s death from Parkinson’s and has recently had to come to terms with her own MS diagnosis. Moving on from the stripped synthpop of her early records and the post-punk guitar moves of 2023’s CACTI, her recent life experience meets a growing sophistication that suits her, especially on piano and drums-led driver The Test, which veers close to The Weather Station, and Comedic Timing, which has something of the seasoned cool of Alison Goldfrapp. The slinky noir of Dark Horse Friend is perfectly complemented by The Stranglers Hugh Cornwell, while the propulsive Plans sounds like the theme song to an imagined ’80s teen movie whose central character is suffering from intrusive thoughts. Altogether, with added depth and melody, it’s Maries’ best yet."--MOJO Grade: M (new stock) TRACK LISTING: 01. Metalhorse02. Nothin Worth Winnin03. The Test04. Override05. Dark Horse Friend (Feat.

Details: Jahnah Camille "My sunny oath!" EP (Winspear, 2025). Hazy Blue, Black Vinyl, or CD variant. New stock, sealed. Includes Jahnah Camille's first EP (bonus!). Description: "Set in the pressure cooker of fresh adulthood, Jahnah Camille’s defiant new EP My sunny oath! is a guitar-based grab at self-acceptance. Romping through alt-rock, lo-fi grit, and sardonic grunge with unflinching momentum, the new six-song collection channels Jahnah’s era-agnostic songwriting influences, from The Sundays and Liz Phair to Minnie Riperton and Japanese Breakfast. Largely written before a breakout year including tours opening for Luna Li, Tops, and Blondshell, My sunny oath! is set in stormy self-development. Dreamily layered vocals, modern shoegaze sheen, and keyboard lines accompany Jahnah’s ear-worming guitar parts and coyly detached tone, as she pushes through the muck of outgrown relationships, misogyny, and hometown anxiety with the help of producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza, MJ Lenderman). The clear-eyed sonic expansion of My sunny oath! marks a decisively bold, exploratory new direction for Camille’s sound with fearless hooks and swirling production abound. It’s a messy, vulnerable, and inviting picture of early adulthood."

Details: Yo La Tengo "Old Joy" Soundtrack Transparent Pink LP (2025, Mississippi Records). New stock, sealed. Description: "In Kelly Reichardt’s 2006 drama Old Joy, a shot of a small town’s lights disappearing into the black cloak of the Cascadian forest says as much as anything that comes from the lips of its two protagonists, played by Daniel London and Will Oldham. They’re old friends who haven’t seen each other in years, one settling into domestic life and the other still on the hippie trail, and Reichardt doesn’t ask the men to fuss and fight to show them drifting away from each other and into their respective corners of middle age. Instead, she allows the seemingly limitless expanse of the Oregon landscape to stand in for the distance between the men as they drive deep into the Cascades on a camping trip. If there’s anything explicitly underlining the loneliness of the two men’s situation, it’s the soundtrack, recorded by Yo La Tengo with veteran session guitarist Smokey Hormel."

Details: Drop Nineteens "1991" Grey LP or CD RE variants (2025, Wharf Cat Records). New stock, sealed. Description: "Following the release of Drop Nineteens’ first album in 30 years, Hard Light and the re-issue of their 1992 shoegaze masterwork Delaware, we are excited to announce the official release of Drop Nineteens’ 1991. This LP comprises the band’s first two demo sessions which were mailed out via cassette to labels in 1991 finding their way to the UK music press and generating instant buzz and an ensuing feeding frenzy to sign the band. After signing with Caroline Records Drop Nineteens decided to write an entirely new record, Delaware, for their first official release, leaving the songs on 1991 behind, frozen in time. Swells of layered guitars and buried vocal harmonies adorn these tracks, displaying Drop Nineteens when the comparison to their UK contemporaries like Slowdive and Ride were apt. 1991’s songs, recorded with a low fi charm, show an ambitious young band capable of writing songs filled with texture and hooks, on the eve of their breakthrough with Delaware."
