Alvvays - Blue Rev CD: 14 songs of jittery jangle and sly hooks, from opener Pharmacist to the organ-tinged closer Fourth Figure. Dense, wry indie-pop that feels practiced and a little dangerous.
Aaliyah - a compact posthumous CD that stitches hit singles and lost strands into one luminous set, from One in a Million to the previously unreleased 'Miss You'.
Skam - No Name LP collects previously unreleased 1982 to 83 punk recordings from the Bailey's Crossroads scene. Short, jagged studio and live cuts like 'No Name' capture the band’s raw, restless energy.
Liberal Animation finds NOFX in raw, urgent form, recorded with Brett Gurewitz in 1988; this debut LP delivers short, snarling punk blasts like "Shut Up Already."
Conrad Schnitzler - Slow Motion: 14 terse sequences from his 1976 film score for Karl Horst Hödicke, all spare analog synth, clang and off-kilter sequencer patterns. LP (black vinyl).
