At heart, ‘Bummer Yea’r is a folk record with genuine Texas twang, built out with the engine of a rock band churning hot, willing to be delicate.

The Hanging Stars transcend their well-earned reputation as masters of a captivating meld of blissful psychedelic folk and harmony-laden cosmic country.

‘New Year’s Eve’ romps through infectious grooves, Rototom blasts, electrifying breakdowns, and meditative reprieves. Along with the pedal-fueled trickery and musical prowess fans have come to expect from El Ten Eleven, the new album channels their love of disco.

On his new album in nearly a decade, Johnston shakes off the typical Southern Americana sound and presents a lush, loud, and eloquent meditation on the human experience.

‘Bitchcraf’ is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance.

Returning to his electro-pop roots after collaborations with 80’s pop star Tiffany, The Dandy Warhols and Styrofoam, ‘New Money’ is Logan’s 10th studio album, but first for Kill Rock Stars.

‘Rebirth’, is a debut album of rare intensity. Crushing riffs colliding with sweeping waves of overwhelming noise, both beautiful and brutal.

Smile’s (Björn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn & John and Joakim Åhlund from Teddy Bears/Caesars) latest album has echoes of motorik krautrock, analogue synths and Ennio Morricone-style cinematic soundscapes.

Gareth Liddiard (The Drones, Tropical Fuck Storm), Jim White (Xylouris White, Dirty Three) & Chris Abrahams (The Necks) are Springtime.

Studded with stories of mortality, the challenges of addiction and sobriety, and the romance of a lifetime, ‘Spiral Groove’ encapsulates all of our existential questions into tidy love songs.
