Thanks for choosing an independent business!! artist title label		Black Keys Turn Blue (Nonesuch) CD - $14 LP - $25   The Black Keys’ Turn Blue was produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, and features 11 tracks including the first single, “Fever.” Of the new album, the band says Turn Blue could refer to: A: Suffocation, B: Sadness, C: Numbness from extreme cold, D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi, or E: All of the above.   Calvi, Anna Strange Weather (Domino) CD - $12   Anna Calvi presents a five-track EP of covers of tracks by FKA Twigs, Connan Mockasin, Suicide, David Bowie as well as a collaboration with David Byrne on the title track, a cover of Keren Ann’s "Strange Weather."   Del Ray, Lana Ultraviolence (Interscope) CD - $14 2CD - $17 2LP - $26   The third full-length release for the pop singer-songwriter was produced by Dan Auerbach and recorded live with a seven-piece band. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe adds three bonus tracks. “Repeated listens reveal nuances, like the acoustic guitar bristling beneath the blues-rock verses of ‘Sad Girl’ and the male backing vocals layering the final chorus of ‘Brooklyn Baby,’ but the album's steadfast narcotic tempo and Del Rey's languid delivery, doused in shoegaze-style reverb throughout, conjure a hazy picture of the singer swaying wearily in some sweltering sweat-lodge of a dive in the deep South.” – Slant Magazine   Earthless Meets Heavy Blanket In A Dutch Haze (Outter Battery) CD - $13 LP - $26   After an impromptu heavy psych jam at SXSW left the crowd stunned and breathless, J Mascis and Earthless were asked to play the main stage of the Roadburn Festival in Holland. When Earthless guitarist Isaiah Mitchell had to back out at the last minute, Graham Clise from Heavy Blanket and Witch stepped in on second guitar. What you'll find here is a recording of that set, almost a full hour of some of the most mind bending heavy psych imaginable.   First Aid Kit Stay Gold (Columbia) CD - $13 2LP - $26   “Klara and Johanna Söderberg, the Swedish sisters who make up the duo First Aid Kit, learned to love American-heartland alt-roots music when they first heard Bright Eyes. In making their new album Stay Gold, the duo went to the source, traveling to Omaha and working with Bright Eyes producer and Monsters Of Folk member Mike Mogis. (They also sing backup on Conor Oberst’s new album Upside Down Mountain.)” – Stereogum   Kozelek, Mark Live At Biko (Caldo Verde) CD - $10   14 tracks recorded live at Biko in Milan, Italy, April 6, 2014.

The album brings him full circle and then some, from lonely midwinter piano-and-vocals sessions, to a loud, live rock & roll group and back again. Featuring Leithauser with collaborators including Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Paul Maroon (The Walkmen), Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes), Richard Swift (The Shins/solo), and Amber Coffman (Dirty Projectors), Black Hours showcases Leithauser at his most passionate, personal and free.   Miniature Tigers Cruel Runnings (Yebo) CD - $14 LP - $17   The sound is important but nothing is more important than the feeling of the sound. When Charlie Brand (vocals/guitar) was writing the newest Miniature Tigers record, he looked to the sum of his musical influences for inspiration. “I wanted to make something like Weezer’s Blue Album— something with that feeling that could connect with people.”   Morrissey World Peace Is None Of Your Business (Harvest) CD - $12 LP - $27   World Peace Is None Of Your Business explores the tragedy of human apathy in our turbulent, modern era, and maintains Morrissey’s signature humor, drama, and emotional longing.   Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Days Of Abandon (Yebo) CD - $13 LP - $19   The Brooklyn indie pop stalwarts present their eagerly anticipated third LP after two critically acclaimed records that demonstrated the group's ability to shift musical registers from bedroom pop daydreams to Alternative Nation anthems.   Reigning Sound Shattered (Merge) CD - $13 LP - $20   Shattered is Reigning Sound’s first album for Merge and the first full LP by the group since 2009’s Love and Curses. The band’s principal songwriter/member is Greg Cartwright, who’s been leading the shifting cast of characters since 2001. You may be familiar with some of the band’s work, as this album is preceded by five studio efforts as well as numerous EPs and live records. Or perhaps some of Greg’s other projects have been on your musical radar: The Oblivians, Parting Gifts, Compulsive Gamblers, 68 Comeback, Deadly Snakes, Detroit Cobras.   Tune-Yards Nikki-Nack (4AD) CD - $14 LP - $23   tUnE-yArDs' third album sees her enlist producers to help her achieve new heights. Contributions from Malay (Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys, Big Boi) and John Hill (Rihanna, Shakira, M.I.A.) enhance tUnE-yArDs' signature sound. A record that could only have been made by its creator, at heart it's heavy yet still retains a sense of fun.   White, Jack Lazaretto (Third Man) CD - $13 LP - $28   Jack White’s new album is most notable for the vinyl version, which boasts the following: Two vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels, one hidden track plays at 78 RPM and one plays at 45 RPM, making it a “three-speed” record; Side A plays from the inside to the outside of the disc; Dual-groove technology (the record plays an electric or acoustic intro for "Just One Drink" depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song); Matte finish on Side B, gives the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record; Both sides end with locked grooves; Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format; Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record; Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering; Features a different running order from the CD/digital version.   Enter your email address to join our weekly mailing list & receive updates on new releases and special products!
