KING, B.B.	3 O'clock Blues: The Early Years 1951-62	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1671LP
$26.00 NOT IN STOCK Delayed... "B.B. King, the 'King Of The Blues' is an undisputed music icon. In a career spanning seven decades, he sold in excess of 50 million records, won 20 Grammy Awards, and played alongside artists such as Bono, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder. A hard-working musician, King toured the world several times over, taking his extraordinary blues from the margins to the mainstream. His emotional and sophisticated soloing on his Gibson guitar, 'Lucille,' coupled with his subtle vibrato style, influenced a diverse range of artists, including, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Richie Sambora, and even 50 Cent. This fine collection brings together some of King's greatest early blues numbers. From his first hit single, 'Three O'Clock Blues,' timeless tracks such as 'Woke Up This Morning' and 'Everyday I Have The Blues,' the epic double sider 'Sweet Sixteen' finishing with his early sixties classics, 'Someday' and 'Peace Of Mind.' King was a pioneer from the very beginning, with this collection demonstrating just why the British blues bands of the late sixties revered him as a guitar god. King was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall Of Fame in 1984, the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987, received the National Academy of the Recording Arts and Sciences Lifetime Achievement Award and awarded the Presidential Medal of the Arts in 1990. In 2006 he received the Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor."

DHARMACIDE	Tougher Than The Rest	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 479LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 Dharmacide is a Spanish band known for their eclectic fusion of genres, blending elements of shoegaze and dreampop music. Tougher Than the Rest is their awaited second album. They take a step forward with a darker sound with gloomy riffs and ethereal voices in which they describe perfectly how the sound of a night full of random events would be like. "The Cigs, The Light, The Coffee and Crying," the LP's first single, features a powerful reverb-laden riff with a solo vocal melody in the middle of the chaos until breaking into a powerful chorus. Dharmacide's sound is marked by intricate guitar riffs, powerful drumming, and deep, emotive vocals that create a unique atmosphere. The band, with members of Alcalá Norte and Depresión Sonora, has made a huge impact on various stages, performing at renowned venues and festivals, including iconic spots in their home country as well as internationally, earning praise for their high-energy performances and thoughtful compositions. Their latest singles have been produced, mixed and mastered by Mark Gardener from Ride. Their sound is influenced by today's bands like Diiv, Warpaint, or Beach House but also by classic artists like Cocteau Twins, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Tom Waits.

KORWAR, SARATHY	There Is Beauty, There Already	CD	OTHERLAND RECORDS	OTH 001CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 Sarathy Korwar, genre-breaking drummer, producer and composer, announces the release of his seventh album, There Is Beauty, There Already, out on Otherland. Celebrating the melodic power of the drum ensemble, the album follows his 2022 Indofuturist manifesto KALAK with a deeply immersive longform suite of percussion-led compositions. Playing as a 40-minute suite of hypnotic and transcendent drum improvisations, the album beats through a repetitive, circular structure that brings to mind Indian folk music, jazz drum ensembles like Max Roach's M'Boom and the contemporary classical minimalism of Terry Riley and Steve Reich. From the undulating bass tones of the tabla to the tonal varieties of South Indian clay pot ghatam, the snare drum snap of the drum kit, and shades of electronic texture through the Buchla Easel, Korwar's ensemble bubbles and flows through a stream of steady rhythm, forever in motion like the ceaseless energy of a river. "The album is me finding my voice as a composer again and going back to the thing I know best, which is the drums," Korwar says. "It's me falling back in love with percussion and expressing just how melodic and emotive it can be. Unlike my other albums that have often engaged with weighty themes like migration, identity and futurism, this is a raw act of placing myself front and center -- letting the drums speak instead."

CINDY LEE	Cat O' Nine Tails	LP	W.25TH	W25 016LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 "Originally released as an edition of 50 lathe-cut LPs housed in silk-screened jackets in 2020 (fast on the heels of What's Tonight To Eternity), Cat O' Nine Tails has long intrigued die-hard Cindy Lee fans with its combination of the classic songwriting that would dominate Diamond Jubilee a few years later and an actual suite of classical songs under the title itself. Opening with the gothic soap opera theme of 'Our Lady Of Sorrows' into the manic exploration of 'Cat O' Nine Tails,' onto the dusty western walk through Patrick Flegel's lovely guitar work on 'Faith Restored,' the album seems to soundtrack the coolest movie the late '60s ever produced. All of this builds to the lush and sweeping ballad of bruised hearts that introduces that beautiful voice via 'Love Remains.' Side two sees 2024 live show closer 'Cat O' Nine Tails III' complete the suite to epic effect, before introducing the absolute showstopper that is 'I Don't Want To Fall In Love Again.' It is tender and fragile in that way that only Flegel can make both familiar and unique. Closing with the ethereal soul shuffle stomp of 'Bondage Of The Mind,' the album showcases nine songs from an essential time in the Cindy Lee evolution. W.25TH/Superior Viaduct is proud to bring this collection to the larger audience it deserves."

CV VISION	Release The Beast	LP	BUREAU B	BB 483LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 LP version. CV Vision returns with the follow-up to his last opus Im Tal der Stutzer and delivers his sixth studio album Release The Beast -- where he finds the sweet spot between psych rock, Detroit techno, fried synths, black metal and library music. Teaming up again with Swedish drummer Uno Bruniusson, CV Vision switched up the last production approach and opted for a return to previous studio methodologies. "I wanted to get a rougher sound on this record," he says. "I dug out my two broken reel-to-reel tape machines, and patched them together, like Frankenstein. That's what gels everything really -- there's different musical styles, but it's the tape machine that brings it all together, sound-wise." Release The Beast does indeed fly off in several directions over the course of fourteen tracks, and gives listeners an insight into the full spectrum of the CV Vision musical universe. Fuzzed-out backbeats and psych progressions establish the opening tracks, as the sweet harmonies of "RTB" and "The Rhythm" are offset by raw magnetic hiss. "Dungeon Drums I, II, III" draws on acid and early Detroit techno experiments, tapping into the cosmic elements of the Motor City's beatdown grooves (and even mediaeval black metal melodies) to bring out a krautrock twist. The second half of Release The Beast takes another turn with instrumental jams, like "Nikita's Tune" and "It's K-Jazz," that nod towards the psychedelic soul of David Axelrod and Rotary Connection, and the trippy DIY experiments of L.G. Mair, Jr. Closing out the album, CV Vision lays down the bluesy stomper "Town Talk" and distorted motorik workout "The Jam" next to the folky incantation of "Brickwall Symphony" and stacked layers of heavy guitars on "Go Your Way." While Release The Beast is a varied tapestry of sounds and styles, there's a common thread running through it all. The cover art depicts the boarded-up entrance of a Berlin stairwell, surrounded by the burnt-out debris of a long-forgotten party.

KREIDLER	Early Recordings 1994-95	CD	BUREAU B	BB 498CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/17/2025 While working in Berlin Wedding at andereBaustelle studio on their upcoming album, Kreidler found also time to dig deep into the vaults of their Düsseldorf and Berlin archives. Thirty years ago, Kreidler's eponymous mini-album was released on Cologne-based label Finlayson; and RIVA, their first outing, on cassette tape, was released a year before that. Both released in limited physical formats and long unavailable. This edition documents the band's beginnings, with threads that can be followed throughout their whole history to their current work. Still, they are straight out of a certain scene, at a certain place, at a certain time. Kreidler -- formed from the encounter of the band Deux Baleines Blanches (Thomas Klein, Andreas Reihse, and Stefan Schneider) with DJ Sport (Detlef Weinrich) -- already in its initial years, and in those that followed, managed to hold seemingly contradictory strands, becoming a fluid form that could equally accommodate the various strengths and interests of its members. This ability has remained intact up to the present lineup of Thomas Klein, Alex Paulick, and Andreas Reihse. Oliver Tepel wrote of their mini-album in 1995 in Spex magazine: "On the basis of calm grooves from andante to moderato -- comparable to the dissolution of object and background in analytical cubism -- the contours of the instruments disappear in favor of mysteriously meandering waves of sound." In 1994, RIVA, the beginning: circuitous somehow, a spatial presence in the restraint, strangely physical in its beauty. Mounting with Das Wilde Heinefeld, with voice and bass clarinet by Fritz Sitterle. Produced for an unreleased Monarchie und Alltag cover version album, conceived by Joerg "Zappo" Zboralski as a follow-up to his Brücke Kaufen album The journey ends in a heated but once again taut textual space, familiar ground for Kreidler, after various gigs with spoken word artists. The photography incorporated on the front cover of this release depicts Kreidler in 1995 in the artists' club WP8.

FONTAINE, BRIGITTE	Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 106CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2025 Wewantsounds reissues French pop icon Brigitte Fontaine's landmark 1968 album Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle, originally released on the cult label Saravah and arranged by Jean-Claude Vannier. This special, approved by the artist, features the original album, newly remastered from the original tapes, along with demos, instrumentals, and a live rendition of "Il Pleut" recorded for France Inter/ORTF. The release also includes a 20-page bilingual booklet with introductions by journalist Jeremy Allen and Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier, essays by Brigitte Fontaine's biographer Benoît Mouchart and Benjamin Barouh, plus full lyrics and rare archival photos. Brigitte Fontaine needs no introduction. An inspiring figure in French music since the 1960s, she has long been revered by a wide array of musicians -- from Stereolab to Sonic Youth, Beck, and Jarvis Cocker. Originally released in 1968 on Pierre Barouh's cult Saravah label, Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle shattered conventions. Fusing Fontaine's lyrical brilliance -- tackling themes like death, social revolt, and female desire -- with Vannier's lush, funky arrangements, the pair created a work that was ahead of its time. The release offers a selection of rare and previously unreleased recordings, including demos -- recently unearthed by the album's composer, Olivier Bloch-Lainé -- instrumentals showcasing Vannier's skills, and a groundbreaking 1969 live rendition of "Il Pleut" recorded for France Inter/ORTF. This version features Malachi Favors on bass, forming a direct link to her next LP, Comme à la Radio, recorded with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Rebellious, witty and timeless, Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle is a landmark work by an artist who not only redefined French pop but also expanded its boundaries on the international scene. This deluxe edition stands as a vital document of her enduring legacy and one of the most original voices in modern music.

PROFESSOR YAFFLE	Everyone Wants To Dream	LP	VIOLETTE RECORDS	VIO 084LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2025 Essential Liverpool psychedelic folk collective mapping their territory with a record rooted in place and memory. Professor Yaffle have created their most focused and expansive work yet. Following acclaimed previous releases, Everyone Wants to Dream finds the band at their creative peak. The album turns on Everton Brow -- an unremarkable Liverpool hill offering the city's finest view. Rogers returns to this vantage point throughout eight tracks, using it as both setting and metaphor for looking back on life without nostalgia. From here, you can see the Mersey stretch toward Snowdonia, the city spread below like a living map. "Lost in a Dream (On Everton Brow)" weaves Lee Roger's lyrics as an eighteen-year-old lyrics with newly composed music. "Everyone Wants to Dream" confronts the disorientation when your children grow and your role shifts. "On Top of the World" becomes what Rogers calls "a stoned love letter to Liverpool." This is Professor Yaffle's first release with Violette Records, marking the beginning of a partnership between two Liverpool entities who've circled each other for years before finding their moment. Featuring a 1979 Karl Hughes photograph of a policeman surveying Liverpool from Everton Brow, capturing something essential about the record: that those who maintain order might dream the biggest dreams of all. For fans of: CSNY, Tim Buckley, Talk Talk, The Byrds, Sufjan Stevens, Love, Tame Impala, Nick Drake.

AGRICULTURE	The Spiritual Sound	CD	FLENSER	FLENSER 181CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025 "There's a kind of quiet violence in how music is consumed today -- flattened into background noise, sonic perfume fed into algorithms, sold as lifestyle. It's entertainment as anesthesia. Sound without the weight. The Spiritual Sound, the new full-length from Los Angeles?based band Agriculture, stands as a pointed refusal of this condition. This is not a playlist. This is not a vibe. It is a demand. Across its runtime, The Spiritual Sound traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary. Meyer writes like someone clawing toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse, ecstatic grief. Levinson's songs move differently: grounded in queer history and AIDS-era literature, amid the suffocating fog of the present, they carry the weight of survival as daily ritual. Her writing asks how to honor queer community and collective struggle without turning it into identity branding or personal mythmaking: how to stay honest, how to stay present. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar -- one that defines the totality of The Spiritual Sound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression. Agriculture's formation mirrors this duality. What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band's current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022's The Circle Chant, expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024's Living Is Easy: a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure. Agriculture doesn't offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn't a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery. As the Buddhist saying goes 'the only way out is in.'"

$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025 Perhaps it was a cold winter day or a warm summer night in Finland -- but it was around 2010.

The kind of band you've never heard before but you do want to hear again. Hailing from Finland in Northern Europe -- this flock of musical energy keeps on going and flying faster than ever.

KYLE SOWASHES, THE	Start Making Sense	LP	ANYWAY RECORDS	AW 139LP
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025 LP version. "Kyle Sowash has had it. I mean, he's not alone. Things are getting tough out there. People are on these streets selling their Built to Spill records just to make rent. It's not okay. Start Making Sense is an appeal to sanity for all dads and phantom dads. A celebration of the tired and a strong cry for another beer. In case of emergency, raise glass. We've come so far from simply filing things under 'what's important' and 'what's not;' on this record, Sowash deals with fragile men, Cleveland football and justice for classic rock drummers. That coffee-colored telecaster still gets beat to hell, just for the healing. Look at the guitar up close if you can. Or just listen closer. The band is locked in. La Russo bumps. You could marinate meat in Hemminger's tone. Bandman has arms like a government clock. There's a universal yuck on us. You wake up to a world advancing and aging and cracking apart. Put this record on, man. Start Making Sense is a modern life survival kit, replete with horn arrangements and hot dog hooks. You're gonna be okay. Or you're gonna get the dishes done, at the very least. Turn it around, my guy. Start making sense." --Lee Keeler

It is a demand. Across its runtime, The Spiritual Sound traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary. Meyer writes like someone clawing toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse, ecstatic grief. Levinson's songs move differently: grounded in queer history and AIDS-era literature, amid the suffocating fog of the present, they carry the weight of survival as daily ritual. Her writing asks how to honor queer community and collective struggle without turning it into identity branding or personal mythmaking: how to stay honest, how to stay present. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar -- one that defines the totality of The Spiritual Sound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression. Agriculture's formation mirrors this duality. What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band's current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022's The Circle Chant, expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024's Living Is Easy: a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure. Agriculture doesn't offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn't a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery. As the Buddhist saying goes 'the only way out is in.'"

KYLE SOWASHES, THE	Start Making Sense	CD	ANYWAY RECORDS	AW 139CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025 "Kyle Sowash has had it. I mean, he's not alone. Things are getting tough out there. People are on these streets selling their Built to Spill records just to make rent. It's not okay. Start Making Sense is an appeal to sanity for all dads and phantom dads. A celebration of the tired and a strong cry for another beer. In case of emergency, raise glass. We've come so far from simply filing things under 'what's important' and 'what's not;' on this record, Sowash deals with fragile men, Cleveland football and justice for classic rock drummers. That coffee-colored telecaster still gets beat to hell, just for the healing. Look at the guitar up close if you can. Or just listen closer. The band is locked in. La Russo bumps. You could marinate meat in Hemminger's tone. Bandman has arms like a government clock. There's a universal yuck on us. You wake up to a world advancing and aging and cracking apart. Put this record on, man. Start Making Sense is a modern life survival kit, replete with horn arrangements and hot dog hooks. You're gonna be okay. Or you're gonna get the dishes done, at the very least. Turn it around, my guy. Start making sense." --Lee Keeler

JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER	Give Me Shelter	LP	FEEDING TUBE RECORDS	FTR 809LP
$27.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/3/2025 "Although it was the lead track on the Stones's eighth studio LP, Let it Bleed, the song 'Gimmie Shelter' was not released as a single. Indeed, the single 'from' that album was the countrified non-LP track, 'HonkyTonk Women' backed with the corny chorale sluice of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want.' It was as though the Stones, knowing they would soon be pilloried on the cross of Altamont, wanted to have a way to try and dodge those nails by being able to claim they weren't even a rock band. Well, fuck them. 55 long years after the Stones's shameful retreat from their true identity, Jackie O Motherfucker has decided to try them in the court of public opinion, both for their jaundiced world view as well as the sheer cowardice of their presentation of facts. The simplest way for JOMF to proceed would have been to illuminate the ridiculous musical and philosophical inconsistencies inside their trademark song of 1968/9, 'Sympathy for the Devil,' but they chose to leave child's play to children. Instead, they took the four minutes and thirty seconds of 'Shelter,' divided it into thirds and created a set of music that explores the mathematical relationships between those segments and the three parts of a song which it reportedly inspired, The Stooges's 'Gimme Danger.' I've had the Calculus of the equation explained to me a couple of times by Tom Greenwood, the founding member of JOMF, but I get sorta lost in most number stuff more evolved than Trigonometry. My sense is that three improvised pieces on this album are musical meditations about the possible existence of a tripartite equivalent of Aristotle's Golden Mean. And while I totally believe in his as a concept, it doesn't really help to explain what the music sounds like, y'know? The three tracks are drawn from two live shows and one studio session, using a line-up resembling that on 2023's Manual of the Bayonet, the music here is largely-instrumental, reed-laced, and filled with the same glowing sense of direction this listener gets when I'm several acid sheets to the wind. Some parts collect themselves and repeat like small bursts of energy trapped inside a pyramid. When vocals do pop up, they sound like out-takes from the soundtrack to Kenneth Anger's Invocation of My Demon Brother, and submerge themselves in a murk of Egyptian dust. Some might compare JOMF's sound to the more abstruse out-takes from the Dead's Gizan shows of '78. But its commentary on the nature of musical forms reaches back further than that. I mean, remember -- the Dead pulled out of playing Altamont. I'm not sure JOMF would have done the same, but I'm sure they would have done something if they found themselves in the same situation. And it might well have sounded like this. As Bear always said, 'A trip in time saves nine.' Good thought, and as diggable today as it was back then. Hop on. This shelter is rolling. --Byron Coley, 2025
