Alliance Entertainment Pharis Romero / Romero,Jason - These Are The Days That Turn Into Years (CD) (New (N))
Pharis & Jason Romero's seventh studio record, These Are The Days That Turn In To Years, is a songwriter's deep exhale, replete with stories, love, and nostalgia. It's four years after the duo's banjo-heavy last release, and recorded in the same eclectically restored riverside barn in Horsefly, British Columbia. With Pharis' love of storytelling as a base for the duo's artistic connection, the songs are lush and saturated with their lives: incidental touring, raising two kids, making banjos, and playing this music because they must. The songs are created as much from ideas - from being on the tops of mountains and phone calls with aging loved ones to insomnia, meditation and family feuds - as they are from the joy of playing and recording with a stellar band: fiddle, bass, piano, and percussion. Two people in the thick of their lives, reveling in the music, words, and community.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Alicia Witt - Between Heaven and Earth (CD) (New (N))
Some people change your life in every way that a life can be changed. David Lynch is one of those people. When Alicia Witt first worked with him at age 7 on his classic Dune (1984) she had no idea what he meant to anyone as a filmmaker, nor that she would work with him 3 more times over the course of his life and that he would become one of her greatest influences. She only knew that she had found a kindred spirit and that she loved him. Between Heaven & Earth is a tribute to his energy, his legacy, and most of all, his love. When Alicia attended his memorial gathering shortly after his passing in 2025, she was struck by the depth of the relationships in that space. The knowing that if you were loved by David, you stayed loved. As those in the room spoke of their shared experience that David was still among them - directing from beyond - Alicia became ever more aware that she was being encouraged to create an album from this space of eternal unconditional love. ‘Use my name,’ David whispered. And so it was. Produced by renowned producer and singer-songwriter Joe Henry (Emmylou Harris; Milk Carton Kids; Bonnie Raitt; Rodney Crowell), this album was recorded live in studio in 5 days in New York City in January 2026. Alicia Witt on piano and vocals, accompanied by a band of 5 musicians, take you on a sonic journey that could never be recreated, channeling the energy that was brought together in this moment to honor the immeasurable effect that David Lynch had and still has on the world. He was palpably present in every moment of the making of this album. The 13 songs that were chosen reflect everything Alicia feels she learned about love from David - the acceptance, the insistent optimism, the curiosity, and the permanence. The final song, The Director, recounts messages he has sent to her from beyond over the year since he passed away. The songs appear in the order in which they were recorded, as the band drew deeper and deeper into the matrix. All are original works by Alicia Witt, 7 solo writes and 6 co-writes, including Thank You, the first single from the album, written with and featuring Grammy winner John Paul White (Civil Wars). Between Heaven & Earth takes the listener on a journey to a place where only love is real, hanging suspended amongst the fragments of the day to day life we can see and touch - and another timeline just beyond this one. Tracklist: Love Anyway Between Heaven and Earth Artifacts Kindred Test Drive You Just Do Freeze Frame Blue Moon Build Me A Dream Thank You (feat.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Bedouine - Neon Summer Skin (CD) (New (N))
On her new album, Neon Summer Skin, Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, explores this feeling of safety long before one can fully understand the concept. Written with vivid, honest and intimate imagery after visiting her family in Saudi Arabia, it tells the story of family and upbringing, and mourns the end of her childhood. There is a singular resonance and newfound heft in this music previously unheard in Bedouine’s discography.Bedouine is known for making gentle, lilting folk songs that build fingerpicked guitar melodies into tsunamis of emotion. Her masterful songwriting and timeless melodies have earned her praise from publications like Pitchfork, who said her music “boasts a surreal calm and lived in glow,” and Rolling Stone, who lauded her “humble folk-pop brilliance,” plus an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and tours with the likes of Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty.While working on the record, Bedouine realized the pain of displacement, of searching for home, has been a throughline in her family history. Other relatives have also experienced this sense of loss as they’ve migrated between Armenia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. “I felt so frustrated about the places that I'm from becoming war torn or difficult to return to,” she says. “My family has been split apart time and time again.” This realization prompted her to document and honor her parents’ lives and stories.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Elanor Moss - Knife The Needle (CD) (New (N))
Oh and the way that it feelsTo know youOh and the way it revealsI don't know youSo begins "The Way That It Feels, " the concluding track of Elanor Moss' debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss' classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things: that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.It's a gorgeous song, but this sentiment - that what Moss knows about a lover also reveals what she doesn't know - is, for lack of a better term, a knife, burrowed in the back of beauty, an ache which, for lack of a cure, must be accepted, understood, and lived with. Across the nine songs that make up The Knife, The Needle, this is what Elanor Moss does, rendering joy and pain in exquisite peals of psych-folk, it's darkly-dreamed vignettes offering, if not catharsis, an understanding of the complexity of the journey towards it - healing as a process, rather than an object one obtains.Arriving at The Knife, The Needle was itself a complex journey. Moss found herself adrift from her music, pursuing a sound as opposed to occupying the space she had already cultivated for herself. "Nothing felt right, " she recalls, "so I took the pressure off myself and tried to calibrate my relationship with songwriting and music." The three years she spent writing the songs that make up The Knife, The Needle ultimately found her returning to her roots in and love for, as she puts it, "the music that made me really feel something; the music I wanted to be writing."The Knife, The Needle concerns itself with the way relationships between people are transformed, complicated, and troubled by love. In "Sarah Waiting in the Car" that turn is abuse. In "Fixer" which lends the album it's title, Moss grapples with the fact that love is as capable of harming someone as it is healing them. It's chorus, "Somewhere, deep down / I'm afraid that if you show me the knife / I might use it on you babe" shifts, first to the thought that the "you" Moss addresses the song to may use it on her, then, stunningly, to the knife could be something else entirely: "Maybe what we thought of as a knife / Is just a needle we could use / To stitch the wound?" she asks, offering at last to reveal where she hurts so long as her partner does the same.It's devastating work, a feat of tight lyrical construction that is at once patient and vulnerable, opulently rendered and keenly felt. Remarkably, it and the rest of The Knife, The Needle emerged from a place of restraint, with Moss - staying in a cabin near her parent's house in the Scottish highlands after initially recording an entirely different version of the album in New York City ("a bit rollocking, " she notes) - feeling the pangs of the album she hadn't recorded - "quieter, weirder, more English." Rerecording with a new ensemble and producer/engineer Pete Miles was a risk, but setting aside an already completed project was worth it. In the quieter, weirder, more English sound manifested here, Moss captures something fleeting, ephemeral, and honest about the moments in which love, for good or ill, irrevocably changes someone. Both the knife and the needle named in the album's title are capable of drawing blood, but illuminated by her voice and guitar, what bleeds out from these songs is nothing short of poetry.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Le Ren - Don't Be Funny Without Me (CD) (New (N))
On Don't Be Funny Without Me (DBFWM), Le Ren tells us, "I love the man I wanted to be," as a matter of tender fact. She is funny while devastating, self-aware and a little self-deceiving. Across the record, she holds those contradictions close: shameless and ashamed, honest but still searching for a version of the truth that hurts a little less. DBFWM is an album about love, jealousy, and the uneasy ways the two often intertwine. After touring the world opening for artists like Jeff Tweedy, Devendra Banhart and Men I Trust, Le Ren decided to return to Canada to make DBFWM. Recorded in Mountain Grove, Ontario, the album is self-produced alongside old friends Fez Gielen and Jonas Bonetta. Le Ren's lyrics are imbued with that northern endurance, like watching the sunset fade behind the cracked asphalt on avenue du Parc, or from the parking lot of your favourite On Route. Where Leftovers was unadorned, evocative in it's simplicity, DBFWM presents a fuller sound- fiddles, drums, layers of harmony. Powerfully capturing Le Ren's musical evolution, DBFWM is more expansive, more experienced, and more earnest, representing the artist's claim to the fuller, wisened life she has earned.Le Ren's signature angelic vocals are newly complemented by a full band. With driving lead guitar and multiple vocals woven into rich harmony, the record feels like the lovechild of an 80s-era Emmylou Harris and the indignant Gillian Welch of her Time (The Revelator) years. Aching and intoxicating, Don't Be Funny Without Me is a post-breakup road trip with your best friend: no fixed destination, a trunk full of baggage (literal and figurative) and mottled sunlight warming your face through the car window.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Mama's Broke - Reunion (CD) (New (N))
For more than a decade, Mama's Broke, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion follows years in near-constant motion, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs, DIY spaces, and everywhere in between.Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight, tracing fractured communities, the erosion of shared ground, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don't preach or prescribe; they reflect, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape.Sonically, Reunion moves with quiet intimacy. These are the kinds of songs shared around campfire flames or in small, attentive rooms, where every detail matters. The arrangements are delicate and stripped back. There's something in their harmonies that lingers, quiet and haunting, hard to shake. The effect is timeless: it feels less recorded than remembered, as though it's been carried here, passed between voices, and held close. It's the sound of something older than the room it's played in, something that, once heard, feels like it's always been there.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Max Subar - Anything Could Be (CD) (New (N))
Chicago singer-songwriter Max Subar laid down the bones of Anything Could Be, his debut album, in a house on the shore of a frozen lake in Wisconsin. Subar returnedto the sonic and spiritual landscape he'd cultivated during the initial ten day session, remaining present in that moment by working when he could truly occupyit's heart. Most of the additional sessions that add texture and color to the album were recorded in Subar's home studio, in the same house where Case Oats, the CaseyGomez-Walker-led outfit in which Subar plays guitar, recorded their 2025 debut Last Missouri Exit. His brother, Sam Subar, played drums. Further instrumentation was provided by Case Oats bandmates Spencer Tweedy (drums on "I Never" and "Way Up"), Jason Ashworth (upright bass), and Scott Daniel (violin), as well as frequent collaborators Chet Zenor (electric guitar), Kelly Hannemann (piano), and Sarah Weddle (vibraphone, organ, and electric piano).The arrangements that took shape are generous and illuminative, giving flesh to the bones of Anything Could Be's live guitar and vocal takes without sacrificing theirspontaneity. "Performing no more than a few takes of these parts was crucial to keep the songs from ever feeling laborious, tired, or overworked," says Subar. "If Icouldn't get it in about three takes, something wasn't right. Maybe the part was too busy. Maybe it was my approach. Whatever it meant, I took it as a sign to move on.The result of this process is a mesmerizing, open-hearted debut that grows with the listener, rewarding time and close attention. Title track and lead single "Anything Could Be" is an invitation to meet Subar on this wavelength, his voice invoking the memory of a dream while his guitar gently pulls him through it's logic, arriving at the desire for freedom, openness, and growth that animates the record. On "Like You've Known It," the arrangement recedes into the sound of windchimes and waves breaking on the shore, an organic pulse that bears the song out into the water. His use of pedal steel on songs like "See Saw" allows him to stretch time, following it'sundulation to a stunning moment of witness where what's stirred to life is nothing less than a once-stagnant spirit, a long-simmering breakthrough that comes tofruition, at last, on "As The Weather," where his voice rises to meet that breakthrough with grace and gratitude for what he has weathered.Anything Could Be offers the listener both the transformative space in which the album was shaped, and a portrait of the artist, and person that artist became in making it. It's 11 songs are imbued with what the poet Adrienne Rich called "a wild patience," aradical stillness that is, itself, a journey towards consciousness, peace, andself-awareness. It makes no promises about what's next. Just the same, it leaves you in breathless anticipation for what that may be, so long as it stirs Subar to pick up his guitar and play through it as he did this chapter of his life.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Michael Moravek - Georg (CD) (New (N))
Powerful songs inspired by the life and fate of Georg Elser (1904-1945): a musical memorial to the man who almost stopped Hitler. In 1939, Georg Elser failed in his assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler and was murdered for it on April 9, 1945, in the Dachau concentration camp. More than eight decades later, Michael Moravek (one of the most poetic representatives of English-language Americana songwriting from Germany) has dedicated an extraordinary work to him: GEORG - Songs of Courage and Humanity, and the question of attitude in dark times. Moravek, together with his band Electric Traveling Show, succeeds in giving Elser a voice and at the same time making the songs shine with a drastic topicality that could not be more contemporary. Together with his virtuoso band, he creates sparkling Americana folk rock with jazzy nuances and poetic, sober lyrics. UPC: 4250702802174Label: TyxartRelease Date: 7.17.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Sad Daddy - Ozark Shine (CD) (New (N))
Sad Daddy emerges straight out of the Ozark hills in 2026 with their fourth studio album, Ozark Shine, highlighting the band's songwriting and harmony vocals. Their 2022 release, Way Up in the Hills, took the nation by storm with it's down-to-earth, raw old-time country and jug band vibes, paired with relevant subject matter. Carrying a similar sentiment and back-to-the-country message, Sad Daddy once again captures the pulse of America and proves they are ahead of their time with this new collection of original material. The songs range from stocking up for the next weather disaster, to buying a peaceful piece of land with a cabin, to playful tales of returning home to check if the stove was left on, and even digging a backyard hole to bury a lame partner-offering a diverse palette of stories that feel real and relatable today.Recorded at Nashville's Bomb Shelter Studio with engineer Drew Carroll and mixed by Andrija Tokic, the band assembled and recorded live in the same room. They had been writing and preparing material through sessions in central Arkansas and during their time representing the Ozarks at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. Brian Martin, Rebecca Patek, Joe Sundell, and Melissa Carper-each accomplished singers, writers, and performers-keep Sad Daddy alive for the pure joy of playing and creating together, something you can clearly feel in their music.

Alliance Entertainment Samuel Smith - Art Of Letting Go (CD) (New (N))
Some records are made despite everything working against them. Samuel Smith's The Art of Letting Go, released via Compass Records, is one of them. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2020 at age 44, the London-based singer-songwriter has spent the past five years finding ways to keep writing as the condition slowly took away his ability to play guitar. The result is a Nashville-recorded album, produced by two-time Grammy-winner Matt Rollings and featuring some of the most celebrated names in American roots music, all held together by the kind of hard-won clarity that only comes from facing something you can't outrun.The album was recorded with a constellation of musicians, including dobro master and 16-time GRAMMY winner Jerry Douglas, GRAMMY-winning banjo pioneer Alison Brown, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and guitarist Bryan Sutton. Vocal trio Tiny Habits, singers Jonatha Brooke and Glen Phillips, and jazz guitarist Julian Lage also feature. Tracklist: Good Times Lately (Feat. Paul Figueres) Shouldn't Be Here (Feat, David Mead) The Art of Letting Go (Feat. Julian Lage and Tiny Habits) Deception (Feat. Glen Phillips) Horizon (Feat. Julian Lage) You Make It Easy (Feat.
