Chopping Mountain, the new record by Ibibio Sound Machine - out September 11, 2026 - is the clearest rendering yet of the London collective's longstanding mission to promote love, unity, and resistance through music. It is the band's sixth full-length record, and the first to feature the band's Max Grunhard as producer since 2019's Doko Mien. Following their Hot Chip-produced breakthrough Electricity (2022) and the darker, clubbier inflection of the Ross Orton-produced Pull the Rope (2024), Chopping Mountain feels like it was pulled directly from the hearts and experiences of the Eno Williams and Grunhard-led band.

One of the first African-led bands to break into the British mainstream, Osibisa helped define the sound of Afro-rock in 1970s Europe. Formed in London by Ghanaian saxophonist Teddy Osei, the group fused highlife traditions with rock, jazz, funk, soul, and psychedelic influences—creating a vibrant, globally resonant sound. Welcome Home (1975) marked the band’s debut for Bronze Records and a new creative chapter under manager-producer Gerry Bron, capturing Osibisa at a pivotal moment of crossover success. The album includes the enduring hit “Sunshine Day,” a joyous, feel-good anthem that remains one of the band’s most beloved tracks. This 50th-anniversary edition arrives on stunning 180g “Psychedelic Splatter” special-effect vinyl. *** Indie Exclusive ***UPC: 741869417638Release Date: 8.21.26Format: Vinyl

On their new album, Sylvan Esso metabolizes a life of making music with people into making art that you just love, a tactile and enveloping freefall. Written across four years in the woods in Chapel Hill, the longest the band has ever spent writing a record,Ow ∞ (pronounced “Ow Infinity”) arrives with an intense immediacy. Most of the tracks here are Meath’s first vocal takes, and the clarity and humanness of her singular voice anchors the album in something real. It was born from a time of experimentation and collaboration, resulting in a sinewy, punchy, explosive work where the songs want to claw their way out. A technicolor totem of personal destruction, the feeling of being pummeled to silly putty and built back into something that feels almost human, almost familiar but freakish and new – a cartoonish, slapstick grin printed across a ruin.
A large chunk of the record was born from improvisation, hours spent at their North Carolina studio finding grooves with guest collaborators including Glenn Kotche (Wilco), Matt Douglas (the Mountain Goats), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes), Joe Westerlund (Megafaun), Jake Luppen (Hippo Campus, Samia), Daniel Aged (Frank Ocean, Dijon) and drummer TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood, Neneh Cherry).
Ow ∞ marks the first time Sylvan Esso has gotten comfortable with the fact that they are doing this – where they’ve figured out all the avenues in which they can take control, and put things out the way they want to, with the people they choose, in their own studio and through their own label. For an album that wrestles so much with the out-of-control nature of being alive, it meets the duo at a time where, finally, they actually have complete control over what Sylvan Esso can be.

"Coming this September: This is Lorelei’s first album for Matador Records, 'The Singer in My Band.'
The last few years have been transformative for Nate Amos. Between delivering breakout records both as a solo artist — under his This Is Lorelei moniker — and with his band Water From Your Eyes, sold out shows across multiple continents, to seeing some of today’s most influential artists cover his songs (MJ Lenderman, Hayley Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Cameron Winter), the ascending songwriter has found his stride. 'The Singer in My Band' takes the building blocks of the Great American Songbook and twists those elemental pieces into new shapes, at once both strangely familiar and endearingly offbeat in Amos’ signature style.
Written while touring the globe in support of releases from both his bands, 'The Singer in My Band' arrives as the first true “road record” in Amos’ discography. “The ideas incubated while daydreaming in the car without access to any instruments,” he recalls, “so instead of being home and writing on the guitar or a computer, they developed slowly and subconsciously, existing as a sort of intangible thing while looking out the van window.”
For many years, Amos’ This Is Lorelei project was known only to a close knit group of creatives in Chicago, where he relocated in his early 20s and produced hundreds of albums and EP’s, tracing the outlines for both of his prolific projects before relocating to New York. In the time since, he’s flourished as a wildly creative polymath who is equally adept at slinging heartworn hooks and eyeball-exploding art-pop. These are songs about songwriting as a way of life – messy, debilitating, transcendent – from one of the most gifted contemporary interpreters of the form."

Upon arriving in the USA for The Tubs' first tour of the country, frontman Owen Williams told The New Yorker, ""We're here to unite the country. We're gonna come, like, three times. By that point, I think this place will start healing."" Then, joyously, they did just that, piling into a van and criss-crossing the States, bringing their literary, bleary-eyed, world-weary, night-of-your-life highwire act to the masses when it was needed most.The Tubs have never lacked for ambition - on Hard Life, theirs is to complicate the Tub-ullar experience. Having perfected their chemistry across two prior albums, hundreds of shows, and an ever-expanding universe of bands affiliated with London's Gob Nation Collective (The TSG, Sniffany & The Nits, Spike, and Garden Centre), the London-based Celtic jangle boyband- Williams (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass), Dan Lucas (guitar), Taylor Stewart (drums), and Max Warren (bass)- push themselves further into the shimmering heart of virtuosic indie rock. They're joined by frequent collaborators Lan McArdle (vocals), George Nicholls (guitar), and Rachel Kenedy (keyboards), all of whom have orbited various Tubs-adjacent efforts dating back to Joanna Gruesome, but the secret to Hard Life's lushness is the addition of fiddle player Chris Haigh, an instructor and session musician who left an indelible mark on British pop on Steps' ""5, 6, 7, 8.""Mirroring Williams' use of trilling on vocal melodies, Haigh's fiddle shades the vocalist's rueful croon like a bruise. On ""Stoop to Me, "" the folkiest, jangliest pop song on the album, Haigh's licks complement Williams at his most self-deprecating, the lopsided smile of a guy trying not to let on how wounded he is in unrequited love. On album opener and title track ""Hard Life, "" it's the sweetness of the ascending fiddle lines in the mix that weds the harshness of Williams' lyrics to The Tubs' fist-pumping anthemics.The hard line Williams takes here and elsewhere on Hard Life further troubles one's idea of a Tubs song. The persona familiar to listeners of Cotton Crown and Dead Meat - to quote Williams, ""navel gazing about romantic abjection, London squalor, and the indignities of grief and OCD"" - is still present, but so too is a second voice, steelier and more experienced. ""The second persona doesn't have much time for the first, "" Williams explains, ""often haranguing him for his self-indulgence and immaturity; sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly.""It's the scold who takes center stage on lead single ""Who's Gonna Love You Now?"" His questions, from the titular one to more concrete concerns like ""Who's gonna pay the rent?"" existing in mocking opposition to ideas like moving to the city and really starting to live. Though Williams plays the crank, the song is a raver, guitars ringing out over an organ- brightened horizon. ""It's your life, "" Williams sings, the life chugging away beneath him sounding exceptionally keen. He wouldn't have much sympathy for the lovelorn Williams of ""If You Don't Love Me"" - hell, his whole existence seems like a warning that the kinds of romantic entanglements one suffers when they're young will end in loneliness, failure, and an inbox choked with unread Substacks.On Hard Life, these voices argue, pester one another, merge into each other, and break apart, sometimes over the course of a single song. They're two sides of the same coin, people who've experienced grief, disappointment, regret, and shame, emerging from the wreckage as changed men. ""I'm interested in the way sympathy and patience for someone suffering always runs out eventually, "" Williams says. ""How this can be a good and liberating thing as well as a sad and brutal thing. But mostly they're just pop songs."" Exquisite, irresistible pop songs. Spin them until the healing starts, then spin them again. *** Indie Exclusive ***UPC: 673855089003Label: Merge RecordsRelease Date: 9.11.26Format: Vinyl

Produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), the album expands on the breakout success of People Watching with a darker, more cinematic approach that balances punishing heaviness, eerie atmosphere, and emotional depth. Featuring guest appearances from Mike Hranica (The Devil Wears Prada) and Alex Reade (Make Them Suffer), From a Distance pulls influence from horror, prestige television, and retro game soundtracks while moving seamlessly between hard rock, experimental textures, and the band’s chaotic mathcore roots. Atmospheric, unpredictable, and unbound by genre, From a Distance pushes 156/Silence further into their own lane while cementing them as one of heavy music’s most fearless rising acts.

"Reuniting with the powerhouse production team of Brian Howes (who produced 2013's Black Dog Barking) and engineer Mike Fraser (who worked on 2016's Breakin' Outta Hell and 2010's No Guts. No Glory. ), the band knuckled down at Music Farm Studio in "the jungle" outside Byron Bay. The complex boasts the original Neve console from Alberts Studios, on which bands like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and The Angels recorded their landmark early albums. It's all presented in a meticulously crafted package mixed by Zakk Cervini (BMTH, Architects) that captures the passion, fire and sweat-soaked danger of a band at the peak of their powers, complete with drums that sound like canons and guitars that cut like buzzsaws.

Horrorful Heights marks a formidable new chapter in The Bevis Frond's deep and storied catalogue, showcasing the enduring creativity of songwriter, guitarist and frontman Nick Saloman as he moves into yet another decade of recording. Long established as one of the most distinctive voices in British underground rock, Saloman continues to refine the band's signature blend of melodic psychedelia, wiry guitar epics and sharp, emotionally attuned songwriting. Horrorful Heights offers one of the most approachable entry points to the band's world in years: a record that gathers their core strengths into a cohesive, vivid set.The album's range is wide but sharply defined. ""Draining The Bad Blood"" channels the classic Bevis Frond mode of melodic guitar pop-cut from the same cloth as longtime fan favourites later covered by Teenage Fanclub and The Lemonheads. ""Space Age Eyes,"" a concise nine-minute odyssey, nods toward the transcendental explorations of '70s electric Miles Davis, complete with a blistering solo from Simmons and rhythmic elasticity from Pearce. The sitar-laden title track, written off-the-cuff while Saloman half-watched a football match, drifts through incense-hazed psychedelia with layered vocals and tumbling tablas-an affectionate echo of the head-shop mysticism he has toyed with throughout the band's history.Alongside the core album, this deluxe edition includes Horrorful Offal, an eleven-track companion drawn from the same fertile sessions. Far from a grab-bag of leftovers, it extends the world of Horrorful Heights with alternate moods, deep-cut experiments and songs that illuminate the album's edges. Together they form a panoramic view of the Frond's current creative streak. Both albums are housed in a striking deluxe edition, presented in a bespoke die-cut slipcase that frames the artwork.

Jennifer Herrema's Black Bananas return with Bad Bunch, the group's first album since 2014's Electric Brick Wall and Herrema's first release since Royal Trux's White Stuff (2019). Arriving via Fire Records, the album marks the long-awaited return of Herrema's iconic vocals alongside longtime collaborators Brian McKinley and Kurt Midness. From Royal Trux to RTX to Black Bananas, Jennifer Herrema's work has never divided into separate phases so much as continued in motion. As Pitchfork observed, Black Bananas are an ""alternate-universe RTX"", absorbing influences from synth-pop, hip-hop, French-touch house and dancehall into their own singular sound. Originally formed over 20 years ago under the name RTX, Herrema, McKinley and Midness have evolved into a kinetically connected, freaky collective. Bad Bunch finds the trio delivering a spaced-out, jazzy-rock groove, shaped by improvisation and new recording methods developed over the last decade. Beginning more than ten years ago, the album took shape across periods of disconnected time, interrupted by the Royal Trux reunion and the upheaval of the pandemic. The result is a record that pushes Black Bananas' innovative tendencies even further while remaining unmistakably their own.

The deluxe 10th anniversary edition of case/lang/veirs features the new track "Accidental Tattoo" and twelve never-before-released live recordings alongside the original studio album from supergroup of singer-songwriters Neko Case, kd lang and Laura Veirs.Released in 2016, case/lang/veirs is a true collaboration between three phenomenal, self-driven artists: "the strongest voices in their field - lang the full-voiced seductress, Case the hurricane, and Veirs the wry storyteller" (Pitchfork). The women wrote all 14 songs and shared lead vocals equally, sometimes even within the same track. Full of stunning harmonies and spellbinding rhythms, case/lang/veirs travels through aches and eras, torch songs and tributes to the undersung."There's a generosity of spirit to case/lang/veirs," NPR praised upon the album's release, "a worthy extension of three tremendous catalogs, in which three great singer-songwriters sound enhanced and invigorated by the challenge of living up to each other's legacies." They worked over two and a half years in Portland, Oregon, where lang and Veirs both live, sometimes in lang's loft with a view of Mount St. Helens, others in Veirs' dining room or backyard studio. The album was written from the ground up without any real plan beyond a desire to make music together and a faith that it would reveal itself. They produced the album with Tucker Martine, at his Portland studio in November 2015.

The darkest, filthiest alleys of old Philadelphia, DEVIL MASTER arise once more to corrupt the children of light. Between tours and festival appearances, the masters of devilry wrote their third full-length, Bloody Dreams. Punkier, with a psychedelic lean, yet festooned with a feral black metal aura, the album gleams from the abyss. Engineered by Davis M. Shubs and Grammy-nominated engineer Eric Bogacz, Bloody Dreams dances darkly. Tracks “You Worms' Vain Delusions” to “Death Anthem,” “Sex with Succubus,” and the decaying bonnet of “Farewell Waltz to Unfortune's Palace” lead the charge, while guests include Mirai Kawashima (Sigh), former drummer Chris Ulsh (Power Trip), and Ur Èmdr Œrvn (Arkha Sva) enhance DEVIL MASTER's supernatural power.
There is no shadow without light...Bloody Dreams invites you into and out of the abyss.

For Ecca Vandal, punk was survival; a way in, and a way out. Born to a Sri Lankan family in South Africa and raised in Australia, she grew up under pressure to fit a mold. Punk blew that open. It was her way of pushing back, of refusing silence. Trained in jazz but craving something louder, she found freedom in being raw and unapologetic. Turning rebellion into identity, and identity into sound.

Grateful Dead's first ever gig in UK and Europe 1970. John Peel in 1995 - ""How many examples have there been in the longish history of English music festivals that define the festival in your head for ever? There have been a few, I DJ'd and compered at The Grateful Dead at Ted Askey's pig farm, Staffordshire, this was a great example"". 56 years ago the Grateful Dead made their first trip across the pond to play at the Hollywood Festival. The two-day outdoor event was packed with a variety of local and national talent, which included the likes of Traffic, Ginger Baker's Airforce, Mungo Jerry, The Flaming Groovies, Tony Joe White, a very young Black Sabbath, and Jose Feliciano. The Dead performed a fine electric set despite the tiny stage, crowded press arena, and a PA and monitoring system that they weren't able to hear. No problem, the boys played full tilt for three hours straight to the delight of the Newcastle-under-Lyme freaks and adventurous locals. One reviewer said ""It represents a band playing at the edge of new possibilities and ideas,"" The British press were unanimous in their positive appraisal of the Dead's showing at the festival: Mac Garry (in Zigzag 13) said that they were ""... totally magnificent."" His description of Jerry's performance was compelling: ""... The solid red Gibson looked so flimsy in Garcia's hands that it looked like it would break like balsa if he squeezed it-but it seemed like every time he touched it, beautiful, clear ringing notes poured out-and on Me and My Uncle he was just fucking fabulous."" Dick Lawson ('What would be the answer to the answer then?' Friends 12) completely gushed over the show, describing their set as ""The most ecstatic exploratory music ever witnessed in England.""

Natalie Imbruglia is known to millions as the star behind the global hit 'Torn' which remains one of the defining songs of the nineties. It started a phenomenal run of success which has included two BRIT Awards, three Grammy nominations, a Silver Clef, eight ARIA Awards, seven million sales of her debut album 'Left of the Middle', and a #1 for 'Counting Down The Days'. Recent times have seen her back in the spotlight, having performed alongside Olivia Rodrigo. It's the perfect time for a new chapter, which starts with the news that she will release her new album 'Algorithm'. She launches the record with it's lead single 'Upside Down'. 'Algorithm' finds Natalie Imbruglia in a new era: one of empowerment, freedom and creative fulfillment. The Australian-British pop icon's first album in five years is a tour de force, a deeply personal record to remind us precisely why we fell in love with her in the first place. It comes as the cultural zeitgeist shifts and pop edges back towards the dancefloor, it's direction feeling in tune with the sophisticated pop, disco and house leanings of Robyn. Natalie says, "On this record I chose to work with collaborators who also co-produce so from start to finish we were all so invested in every song. I really hope that people get as much joy from listening to this record as we did making it. And that they dance their arses off. This was by far the most fun I've ever had making a record. It also happened to coincide with the most challenging time I've had with my mental health. This is the beauty of music and artistic expression. You can take something dark and turn it into light." The single 'Upside Down' opens with a flourish of bright synths and energetic percussion, with Natalie's distinctive lilt floating above. As she reaches the chorus, it grows brighter - kaleidoscopic, shimmering - and we hear her relinquishing control and ultimately finding clarity in a song which came from a feeling of shame surrounding her mental health. She explains, "The inability to control my emotions, wrestling with fight or flight mode, was awful, and I was reaching this critical point with it. In a way, the song is about how sheer willpower - trying to force your way out of something - doesn't always work. You need tools, support. So that's where the song was born from, that fight to maintain a semblance of what some might consider normality." Following the Top 10 comeback achieved with 2021's 'Firebird', 'Algorithm' is a record in which Natalie is reinvigorated and raring to go - apt reward for pushing herself creatively with confessional themes of vulnerability and funding the project entirely independently. She also co-produced and co-wrote every song on the record, with production/songwriting collaborators including MyRiot (London Grammar), David Sneddon (Lana Del Rey, Hurts), Fraser T Smith (Adele, Dave, Stormzy, Sam Smith), Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, Anu Pillai (Lewis Capaldi, Declan J Donovan), Tobie Tripp (George Ezra), Mark Crew (Bastille, James Arthur) and Mark Priddy (Rag'n'Bone Man, Bastille).

'The Fatal Flaw' is the much anticipated sophomore album from Paris Paloma; and quite simply it is an album all about Love. Love as Art, Love under the Patriarchy, Love as a political and radical act - in short 'The Fatal Flaw' examines Love from a deeper and philosophical perspective. Even the songs that aren't about Love, also are. They are about the absence of love, and what happens in those spaces, so they are songs about the necessity of love, and the consequences of it's absences. This Indie Exclusive version is pressed on Bloodshot vinyl and includes a fold-out poster.

Swedish artist Sibille Attar returns with Amor Fati, her first album in English in five years. Previously praised by Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, and BrooklynVegan, Attar has established herself as one of Sweden's most fascinating and critically acclaimed voices in alternative pop. Fiercely independent and entirely self-produced, Amor Fati began as an attempt to make pure love album - open-hearted, euphoric, and unguarded. But as the songs unfold, emotional certainties begin to shift. Written across Sweden, Belgium, Germany, and the United States, the album explores intimacy, longing, trust, and the strange ways love reshapes itself over time. It begins in euphoria, gets complicated fast, and refuses to simplify itself for anyone's convenience - less reassuring, perhaps, but far more alive.

I Must Be Dreaming is the first new album from Alabama Shakes in more than a decade. The album expands on 2015’s album Sound & Color’s unfettered exploration, leaning toward a viscerally charged form of psychedelic soul. Produced by Alabama Shakes and their repeat collaborator Shawn Everett, the album came to life at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios and Blackbird Studio. While the album sustains their signature intensity, its songs often wander into more lush and otherworldly terrain, revealing a more exacting command of atmosphere and space.
