Loads in store for you this week...

New In...

Shop favourite Neil Young with Crazy Horse returns with a double album entitled World Record. It is the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Barn record.

Technological agitation. Narcissism fatigue. A galaxy of isolation. These are the new norms keeping Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Mering) up at night and the themes at the heart of her latest release, And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow.

CD/Cassette and Loser Edition - limited edition first pressing on coloured vinyl all available.

'Irish superstar Dermot Kennedy releases his second studio album. The brand-new album Sonder includes tracks ‘Something to Someone’, ‘Better Days’ and ‘Dreamer’.'

First Aid Kit's new album Palomino is one of our bestsellers this month, they sounded fab on the recent Jools Holland concert on the telly at the weekend. 'The Swedish sisters’ fifth album is a glorious blast of loved-up Americana, with nods to the Stones and Fleetwood Mac' The Guardian

'Although Panda Bear and Sonic Boom are no strangers to each other’s music, Reset marks their first collaborative release. When SB pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level, he reckoned PB might reject the proposition outright—in the nine gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks of Reset, though, you can hear exactly how much he loved the prospect.'

Billy Strings - Me/And/Dad

Recorded with his father Terry, Me / and / Dad finds Country/Americana artist Billy exploring the songs that inspired him to become the breakout musician he is today, including songs popularized by Mac Weisman and Doc Watson.

Limited edition violet coloured vinyl in stock now

American jazz pianist, organist, harpist, and composer Alice Coltrane's Ptah, The El Daoud, 'recorded in the basement studio of the Coltrane family home in Dix Hills in 1970, Alice Coltrane’s fourth album is a transcendent masterpiece of spiritual jazz. The title track is an ode to the Egyptian God, Ptah (the El Daoud meaning “the beloved”). Many moments on the album reach what Coltrane herself defined the term Turiya as: “A state of consciousness — the high state of Nirvana, the goal of human life.”

Richard Dawson returns with…The Ruby Cord. 'These seven tracks plunge us into an unreal, fantastical and at times sinister future.'

Andre Rieu & His Johann Strauss Orchestra - Silver Bells - Deluxe CD & DVD

Recoil 'is the musical project of former Depeche Mode member, Alan Wilder, and Mute is releasing the project’s last three albums Liquid, Unsound Methods and subHuman...' All available on coloured vinyl.

Out this week is a 'new revisiting of Queen's 13th album, The Miracle, the band’s penultimate to be released in Freddie Mercury’s lifetime - originally released in 1989...The Miracle is a showcase for Freddie Mercury and his love of sweeping, quasi-operatic vocals.' Deluxe 2CD edition

Nervous Sooner Changes is another all time Dead Moon classic. 'The band really hit their stride on this one!

Features all time greats like "Diamonds in the Rough," "Say It Isn't So," "Running out of Time," "Somewhere Far Away" and "Windows of Time." '

Iron Maiden celebrate 40 years of Number of the Beast with a 3LP box set including Beast Over Hammersmith live concert.

To mark twenty years since the release of Sugababes’ iconic debut album One Touch, the band released a series of brand-new remixes - blue 12" vinyl.

'Originally released in 2006, Drum’s Not Dead is Liars’ third album, following up 2004’s They Were Wrong, So We Drowned. Once again the album shattered all past reference points and preconceptions of Liars. Partly inspired by a relocation from New York to Berlin, the album finds Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross taking another seismic step forward, switching continents and seizing new musical territory.'
