The Libertines' self-titled second album on Rough Trade, raw and melodic; anchored by 'Can't Stand Me Now' and built from brash guitars, singalong choruses, and pub-room lyricism.
Cory Hanson strips country and psych down to raw, widescreen guitar on Western Cum LP; searing leads, drifting steel and the bruising opener "Wings" anchoring eight bold tracks.
Dischord reissue of Artificial Horizon pressed on silver metallic opaque vinyl. Eleven tracks of Lungfish’s hypnotic, mantra-driven post-hardcore, led by Daniel Higgs’ incantatory vocals. Warm and immediate at the needle.
Big Laugh - Days of Disarray 12" (black vinyl). Four terse, metallic hardcore blasts from Milwaukee, tense riffs and jagged rhythms. 'Vacation' stands out on this potent farewell EP.
Second album from M83 pressed to 180g 2LP - widescreen shoegaze electronics, drifting synths and melancholic hooks. Standout 'Run Into Flowers' anchors the record's long, cinematic title piece.
