New music from The Wave Pictures, Burial, Sam Smith, Big Joanie, Meg Baird, The Arcs plus Louth Later returns!

New Arrivals This Week

The Arcs  - Electrophonic Chronic - Limited edition clear vinyl

'In 2015, Dan Auerbach entered the studio with Leon Michels, Nick Movshon, Homer Steinweiss, and the late Richard Swift (who passed away in 2018) to record The Arcs' debut album Yours, Dreamily in a handful of freewheeling sessions over two weeks. Now, more than 7 years later, those same sessions became the bedrock on which the surviving members fleshed out the anticipated follow-up album, Electrophonic Chronic, a collection of psychedelic rock, gritty funk, and heady, soulful grooves.'

San Franciscan folk artist Meg Baird releases her album Furling this week.

'The album’s title refers to curling something up into a more compact shape; however, Furling – Meg Baird’s fourth record away from band projects – expands the sparser palette of the San Francisco-based singer and multi-instrumentalist’s previous solo outings, without ever shifting the spotlight away from Baird’s ethereal yet powerful voice.'  Loud & Quiet

Available on vinyl.

This week Soul Jazz Records releases Studio One Funk - a limited edition compilation on transparent red double vinyl. Feat. Alton Ellis, Soul Brothers, Devon Russell and Cedric M Brooks.

Electronic recording artist Burial finished 2022 with a follow up to ‘ANTIDAWN’, the sublime three-track EP 'Streetlands'.

12" vinyl available

'Following the global success of the unstoppable single Unholy featuring pop diva Kim Petras, Sam Smith releases his fourth studio album, Gloria. The 13-track record will be Sam’s boldest statement yet. '

Limited edition vinyl and CD available.

We have the The 20th-anniversary expanded edition of The Eminem Show - his record setting, Grammy Award-winning fourth studio album, 4LP deluxe version with bonus tracks is in stock now - ask in store.

'The Wave Pictures are once again allied with Acuarela to release an exclusive double 7” with five songs (one, “French Cricket” included on their new album and the other four totally exclusive) and show that they are still an indie rock band without indie rock influences, a trio with its own style that doesn't want to be a blues group, but with blues –and soul, and country, and folk-, as the invisible core of everything they do. The Wave Pictures began their career in 1998. Since then the British trio hasn't stopped: at the frenetic pace of their concert schedule, they add a stakhanovist record production, which advances at the rate of almost one album per year.' 2 x 7" available now

'With One Day, Fucked Up have delivered one of the most energizing and intricate albums of their career, a massive-sounding record that arrives in deceptively small confines. The Canadian hardcore legends have been known for their epic scale in the past, so it might be a surprise that Fucked Up’s sixth studio album is their shortest to date, written and recorded in the confines of one literal day (hence the title). Don’t mistake size for substance, though: The band’s sound has only gotten bigger, more hard-charging, with even denser thickets of melody.'

Limited edition blue jay in milky clear vinyl in stock

***We have lots of new arrivals on the second hand front this week too in store including lots of great 70s vinyl and 90s cds!
