New Releases out this week...

Last Dinner Party From The Pyre (Inferno Editon)

London rock band The Last Dinner Party on the new album: “This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them...“This record feels a little darker, more raw and more earthy; it takes place looking out at a sublime landscape rather than seated an opulent table. It also feels metatextual and cheeky in places, like a knowing look reflected back at ourselves.”

Coloured vinyl, standard black vinyl and CD available from 17th October

To mark their 20th anniversary Lancaster duo The Lovely Eggs release a very special limited release entitled Bin Juice: a collection of self recorded outtakes from their last album Eggsistentialism as well as rare B sides. The CD features 9 bonus tracks from the Fried Egg 10” EP.

'Internationally acclaimed drummer, producer, and sonic collagist Makaya McCraven returns with four distinct yet interconnected EPs - Techno Logic, The People’s Mixtape, Hidden Out!, and PopUp Shop. The four EPs are compiled on a 2xLP and 2xCD release titled Off the Record. Together they mark McCraven’s first recorded offerings since 2022’s In These Times'

Celebrated music icon Chrissie Hynde releases a new album under Chrissie Hynde & Pals, titled Duets Special, via Parlophone. The album consists of 13 extraordinary duets, beautifully arranged and featuring a host of world-class collaborators, including k.d.lang, the late Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan, Cat Power, Brandon Flowers, Debbie Harry, Shirley Manson and more.

'Fresh off the worldwide success of Natural Brown Prom Queen, Sudan Archives levelled up, evolving from a hands-on DIY artist to executive producer of her third album – her most ambitious record to date. 

Recorded in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Detroit, THE BPM is this innovative artist’s most club-forward music yet, with Sudan Archives taking a dancefloor-ready approach to her unique brand of violin-infused music.'

'For the first time, that classic cuts on this compilation, will be made available on Zoetrope vinyl, including a brand new remix of “Rapper’s Delight”, the biggest selling track in the history of The Sugarhill Gang.

Rapper’s Delight is widely regarded as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, commercial hip-hop tracks in the history of Hip-hop.  It is widely regarded as one of the most influential hip-hop tracks of all time, credited with bringing rap music to a mainstream audience. Artist’s influenced by this track include; Jay-Z & Nas, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Run DMC, to name a few.'
