Released in 1996, Dance Into The Light is a vibrant, horn-drenched celebration of rhythm and optimism. Departing from the darker, introspective tones of his previous album Both Sides, Collins infused this record with mid-tempo pop hooks, African-inspired rhythms, and a joyous energy that practically begs you to move. Featuring the uplifting title track "Dance Into The Light," the soul-stirring "It's In Your Eyes," and a spirited cover of Bob Dylan’s "The Times They Are A-Changin’," this album showcases Collins' legendary showmanship and unparalleled percussion work.

The legacy of Joey DeFrancesco was solidified decades ago, not only by single-handedly resurrecting the organ's prominence in jazz, but through the passion and power of every note he played on any instrument he touched. Live at Keystone Korner, the first posthumous album from the legendary organist and multi-instrumentalist following his untimely passing in 2022, was recorded only weeks before his transition and stands as his final known recording as a bandleader-capturing a virtuoso at the height of his ever-evolving innovation. With his extraordinary talents on organ, trumpet, tenor saxophone and a rare vocal feature in the spotlight, it is safe to say Joey's influence on the musical community will resonate far beyond our lifetime, inspiring generations to come.

The fact that this 1966 session from vibist Freddie McCoy sports one of the greatest album covers ever is only one of the many things it has going for it. It's a cool jazz/soul jazz classic featuring Freddie with a killer band of Steve Davis on bass, Rudy Lawless on drums, and Charlie Wilson on piano, laying down some tight grooves on such tracks as ""Speak Out, Deagan!"" and ""Hav' Mercy"" (Freddie's vibe tones in particular will have you, ahem, tingling). Adding to the intrigue is the copy on the back cover, which claims that Spider Man was to be the first of a series of Marvel tie-in records. That this album turned out to be the only one leads one to suspect that the deal between Marvel and the Prestige label might have been hastily arranged... after all, the original labels still had the title as Hav' Mercy. At any rate, it's a bona-fide collectible and a lovely listen to boot, which we're bringing to you in an ALL-ANALOG pressing either in clear with red and blue ""Spidey"" swirl vinyl or good, ol'-fashioned black. 60th anniversary release, first-ever vinyl reissue!

This is going to be the scariest spoken word record you've ever heard. We're not joking... and neither is Vincent Price. The star of such horror classics as House of Wax, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Theatre of Blood (and, of course, narrator of Michael Jackson's Thriller video) can barely hide his delight while he takes his audience through a graphic and occasionally grisly history lesson in witchcraft from the Bible through the Middle Ages, the Spanish Inquisition, and Nazi Germany. Then, accompanied by occasional eerie, abstract electronic music, Price's sinister satisfaction only mounts as he provides instruction in the dark arts, with such tracks as ""How to Make a Pact with the Devil"" and ""Curses, Spells, Charms."" It's all in good fun, of course... or is it? The mysterious writer of the script, one Terry d'Oberoff, has only one other credit to his name: as the ""mascot"" of an early '70s band called... wait for it... Black Magic. This 1969 double-LP release has long been coveted by collectors of the curious and macabre, and we are giving it the Real Gone treatment, reproducing the gatefold jacket and the full-size, 8-page booklet that accompanied some copies. It's a combination history textbook and how-to manual in witchcraft, with a title page depicting a particularly unsettling spell called ""The Hand of Glory"" involving the severed, salted, and dried hand of a convicted felon. We are releasing this one-of-a-kind album on flickering orange flame PET plastic that just might hypnotize you when you spin it... Happy Halloween to those who celebrate.

Richly progressive folk-informed heavy post-rock and a sick burn to boot. - The Obelisk
Rebecca Vernon (SubRosa), the driving creative force behind THE KEENING returns with her second album, Devotion. The highly anticipated new album sees Vernon and company releasing one of the year's most evocative works: a truly compelling mix of slow-burning, ethereal post-rock, folk, goth, and soaring doom.
For Vernon, the writing process for Devotion took place in two starkly different environments. It ranged from the contemplative solitude of a friend’s cabin in a deserted Idaho ski resort to the hectic reality of a 55+ senior living community in Spokane, Washington, where she was staying with her father. The end result is an explosive album underscored by a subtle duality that resonates throughout its most poignant moments, both lyrically and musically.
"The album is dedicated to my dad, who passed away a little over a year ago (May 11, 2025,)" says Vernon. "He was one of my greatest champions and supporters of my music. My sister and I see dragonflies as a symbol of him, so I asked our cover artist Marald van Haasteren if he could put a dragonfly in the art. The dragonfly is coming out of the stem of a poppy, so again, to me, it depicts that dichotomy or tension between the dark meaning of devotion (addiction) and its lighter meaning (love)."
Take the single "A Little Bit of Blood," for example. Quiet, acoustic guitar strums give way for Vernon's haunting vocals, before the backing instrumentation explodes into a soaring chorus reminding the listener that sometimes the best paths taken are the most difficult.
In a 2024 interview with Decibel Magazine, Vernon discussed the drastic shift in heavy music's themes in recent years, highlighting a willingness to convey raw emotion: "Metal is beginning to share more vulnerable things, more confessional things. Metal has almost become a safe place to talk about those things. People are being open with their struggles. Twenty years ago, they wouldn't have." Devotion lays these emotional confessions bare and showcases a truly bright burn.
Devotion was recorded in April 2022, again at Hallowed Halls in Portland, with Billy Anderson and Nathan Carson featured in their same roles as heard on Little Bird. Once again, Vernon showcases her writing prowess, having a heavy hand on all the instrumentation for Devotion; Vernon played drums, guitar, piano, organ, and hammered dulcimer, and provided most of the vocals on both albums, with a few guest vocalists added to the mix.

Long-time collaborators Winter McQuinn (Sunfruits, Beefheart & McQuinn, jade imagine) and Acacia Pip (PINCH POINTS, Slush) return with Disassociating On The Travelator, the beautifully understated second EP from one of Melbourne/Naarm's most compelling songwriting partnerships. Released by Australia's Third Eye Stimuli Records, the vinyl edition arrives as a special double EP alongside the duo's 2024 debut EP, Recently I've Been Missing The Colour Green-bringing both releases together on vinyl for the very first time.Recorded at the legendary Bakehouse Studios with acclaimed songwriter and producer Liam ""Snowy"" Halliwell, the four-track collection expands on the warm indie folk, jangling guitar pop and folk-emo leanings of the duo's acclaimed 2024 debut, Recently I've Been Missing The Colour Green. Recorded live, the EP captures the pair's instinctive chemistry while embracing a richer, more spacious studio sound.Across four intimate songs, McQuinn and Pip reflect on the quiet complexities of contemporary life-trying to make sense of changing relationships, the passing of time, self-doubt and finding happiness in everyday moments. Built around shimmering guitars, warm acoustic textures and effortlessly melodic songwriting, Disassociating On The Travelator recalls artists such as Andy Shauf, Courtney Barnett, Elliott Smith, Kurt Vile and Bonny Doon, while retaining a voice that feels entirely their own.Featuring the lead single ""Exactly The Same"", a bittersweet Melbourne winter anthem about embracing the path that has brought you to where you are today, the EP further cements the duo's gift for pairing emotionally resonant lyrics with quietly irresistible melodies.It's a thoughtful, timeless collection that rewards repeated listening, revealing new emotional depth with every spin.

More than three decades after they founded Heavens to Betsy, Corin Tucker and Tracy Sawyer still have something important to say. Just as riot grrrl punk rock and feminism pushed for inclusivity, bodily autonomy, and gender equality in the early-to-mid '90s, there is arguably an even greater need for the scene to rematerialize in an age where women's voting rights and healthcare access are under siege, as is the safety of any marginalized community. Now, the longtime friends and musicians have answered the call by reuniting as Heavens to Betsy, the DIY punk project they famously founded back in the riot grrrl halcyon days, among like-minded Olympia artists in Bikini Kill, Team Dresch, and Bratmobile. In celebration of their reunion, Corin (Sleater-Kinney) and Tracy (The Husbands, The Flying Tigers, The Lies) are set to release their first project since 1994: baby's gone, a 16-track mission statement comprising a never-before-heard demo tape originally recorded by Bratmobile's Molly Neuman (who also provides liner notes for the forthcoming release), plus the 1993 These Monsters Are Real and the 1994 Direction 7"" recordings.

These songs have been accumulating in my life since the 1960s, long before I ever began writing my own. Many remained with me as warm-up pieces, familiar companions I would return to before a performance, or simply as a welcome respite from singing my own words. Every so often, another would find it's way into the collection. I'd be idly playing the guitar, stumble across a progression that reminded me of a song-""You Belong to Me,"" for instance-and realize I needed to go back and truly learn it. Some of these selections are deeply sentimental favorites, while others fascinated me as musical journeys across the guitar's fingerboard. Together, they form more than a collection of songs; they are milestones, each connected to a particular time, place, or memory, tracing the subtle contours of a life lived through music. - Bruce Cockburn

Sofie Royer, "one of Europe's most intriguing underrated pop stars, with a captivating voice and an offbeat aristocratic glamour" (The Guardian), is back with a new album.Having released three acclaimed LPs, the Viennese musician's songwriting and production have become more complex and polished, her lyrics sharper and funnier. Before/after is her most incisive record to date, confronting the gripes of being an artist and weaving self-excavation with cultural commentary. Sofie may have gone from lo-fi producer to a bona fide pop musician who's opened for Lana Del Rey, Air and LCD Soundsystem, but she still doesn't know where she fits in. She pulls no punches when critiquing the music industry - "I'm too pop for the art world, too indie darling for the mainstream" - but saves her biggest swings for herself. Over 12 catchy pop songs, Royer wonders if conflicts between past and future aren't just battles with our own selves. "We are constantly in a battle with the 'pre' and 'post' states of time," she explains. "There is a preoccupation with these two tenses; yet by remaining entangled in these states, we are often our own greatest obstacle to overcome. Really, in the state of before/after, it's always you vs you."

Following their acclaimed 2024 debut, UK electronic duo Two Shell return with Infinite Now, a reminder of the fundamental power of dance music, the sugar-rush of abandon that comes when you lose yourself to it all and remain in the moment. It's a celebration of the basic reason that dance music exists: instead of asking listeners to understand what's happening and make sense of it, Infinite Now asks them to hold on and feel it. It's still layered, there's still complexity to the production but it's just not that deep. The vaporized vocalists you hear across Infinite Now are unnamed and sound like they've beamed down from another dimension - ghosts in the machine. In Two Shell's own words, "Music doesn't need to be solved, it just needs to be experienced."

Babehoven, the Hudson NY based indie folk duo of Maya Bon and Ryan Albert, return with their third studio album, ""I See Them, I See Me"". Through fourteen tracks that crackle with clear-eyed vision, Babehoven has crafted a transcendent new collection that gets back to the heart of what makes music meaningful and life worth living.For the first time in Babehoven's prolific output - which includes, most recently, 2024's ""Water's Here In You"" - Bon and Albert blew the doors open on their process, inviting in three different engineers to capture the songs in four different studios. The all-star line-up includes Sam Evian, Kevin Copeland, and Phil Weinrobe, who also acted as co-producer. Much of ""I See Them, I See Me"" was live-tracked with a six-person ensemble, with Weinrobe instilling a philosophy of ""no playback, no headphones, and no preparation"" to create maximal presence in the room.From the opening track ""You're a Liar,"" the band establishes a new palette: a rollicking blend of indie and alt-country that sparkles with slide guitar, hardanger fiddle, and a sprightly vocal twang paying homage to Emmylou Harris and Patsy Cline, with classic folk-rock artists like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and The Band as further touchstones.In 2024, during Babehoven's first headline tour, Bon suffered paralysis of her right vocal chord and was told she might never recover. In light of this, the album rings out as a sort of triumphant fist-pump. While many of Babehoven's songs are built on intricate cyclical melodies, ""I See Them, I See Me"" is full of wide, catchy choruses - anthems to be sung by a crowd.

Longtime friends Bibio and Dorian Concept reunite for Answers, a collaborative instrumental album set for release on October 16th. Having known each other for over a decade, the pair build on a natural creative rapport shaped through recent joint efforts - including Bibio's rework of Dorian Concept's ""Hide"" (2024) and their track ""An Unopened Letter"", the closer on Dorian Concept's latest album Miniatures (2025).Much of Answers was developed remotely, with ideas passed back and forth between Wales and Austria, reflecting both artists' preference for solitary, process-driven creation. Bibio, an English producer known for blending folk, ambient, and lo-fi tape textures, brings his tactile, guitar-led warmth, while Vienna's Dorian Concept, a self-taught keyboardist and synth improviser, contributes his fluid, exploratory approach to electronic composition.Alongside the music, the duo collaborated closely on the album's visual world, creating video and artwork together, informed by a shared love of vintage cameras and visual play.The result is an instrumental album full of texture that feels less like a debut collaboration and more like a continuation: two distinct voices meeting in a shared language shaped over years of mutual influence and quiet experimentation.

The legacy of Joey DeFrancesco was solidified decades ago, not only by single-handedly resurrecting the organ's prominence in jazz, but through the passion and power of every note he played on any instrument he touched. Live at Keystone Korner, the first posthumous album from the legendary organist and multi-instrumentalist following his untimely passing in 2022, was recorded only weeks before his transition and stands as his final known recording as a bandleader-capturing a virtuoso at the height of his ever-evolving innovation. With his extraordinary talents on organ, trumpet, tenor saxophone and a rare vocal feature in the spotlight, it is safe to say Joey's influence on the musical community will resonate far beyond our lifetime, inspiring generations to come.

Joe Poole a.k.a. Wednesday 13 may not be the original horror punk, but one thing's for sure: he's an original. Poole formed and recorded four albums with the memorably-entitled band Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, then was recruited by Slipknot's Joey Jordison to front the Murderdolls. But it's his self-titled Wednesday 13 project, which he launched post-Murderdolls, that has proven the most enduring and influential among his many dark delvings into the demimonde. The band's 2005 debut Transylvania 90210-Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead is every bit as trashy, hilarious, outrageous, and, most of all, rocking as you would expect, highlighted by the singles ""I Walked with a Zombie"" (for which the promo video interpolated the band members into footage from Night of the Living Dead) and (our favorite) ""Bad Things"" with it's cathartic chorus ""I want bad things to happen to you."" Somehow, this horror rock classic has hitherto escaped vinyl release, but now, just in time for Halloween, we've remastered it for vinyl and are issuing it on suitably lurid neon green wax complete with color inner sleeve, with custom label design overseen by Wednesday 13 himself!

A new music super-group featuring Matt Hollenberg (Simulacrum, Shardik, Secret Chiefs 3) on electric guitar, Simon Hanes (Gargantua, Tredici Bacci, Tsons of Tsunami) on electric bass, and Ches Smith (Clone Row, We All Break, Laugh Ash) on drums, Flatlands is a dynamic rock power trio in the Simulacrum/Naked City/ Insurrection mold. The music is intense, quirky, and wildly ecstatic-twelve com-pact stop-on-a-dime kaleidoscopic miniatures that astonishingly defy musical logic and reveal a deep philosophical edge. Filled with infectious riffs, atonal melodies, complex rhythms, virtuosic solos, and ever-surprising structural innovations Flatlands is one of the most mind-bendingly extreme guitar trios ever created.

Richly progressive folk-informed heavy post-rock and a sick burn to boot. - The Obelisk
Rebecca Vernon (SubRosa), the driving creative force behind THE KEENING returns with her second album, Devotion. The highly anticipated new album sees Vernon and company releasing one of the year's most evocative works: a truly compelling mix of slow-burning, ethereal post-rock, folk, goth, and soaring doom.
For Vernon, the writing process for Devotion took place in two starkly different environments. It ranged from the contemplative solitude of a friend’s cabin in a deserted Idaho ski resort to the hectic reality of a 55+ senior living community in Spokane, Washington, where she was staying with her father. The end result is an explosive album underscored by a subtle duality that resonates throughout its most poignant moments, both lyrically and musically.
"The album is dedicated to my dad, who passed away a little over a year ago (May 11, 2025,)" says Vernon. "He was one of my greatest champions and supporters of my music. My sister and I see dragonflies as a symbol of him, so I asked our cover artist Marald van Haasteren if he could put a dragonfly in the art. The dragonfly is coming out of the stem of a poppy, so again, to me, it depicts that dichotomy or tension between the dark meaning of devotion (addiction) and its lighter meaning (love)."
Take the single "A Little Bit of Blood," for example. Quiet, acoustic guitar strums give way for Vernon's haunting vocals, before the backing instrumentation explodes into a soaring chorus reminding the listener that sometimes the best paths taken are the most difficult.
In a 2024 interview with Decibel Magazine, Vernon discussed the drastic shift in heavy music's themes in recent years, highlighting a willingness to convey raw emotion: "Metal is beginning to share more vulnerable things, more confessional things. Metal has almost become a safe place to talk about those things. People are being open with their struggles. Twenty years ago, they wouldn't have." Devotion lays these emotional confessions bare and showcases a truly bright burn.
Devotion was recorded in April 2022, again at Hallowed Halls in Portland, with Billy Anderson and Nathan Carson featured in their same roles as heard on Little Bird. Once again, Vernon showcases her writing prowess, having a heavy hand on all the instrumentation for Devotion; Vernon played drums, guitar, piano, organ, and hammered dulcimer, and provided most of the vocals on both albums, with a few guest vocalists added to the mix.
