In the hands of Courtney Barnett, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. A deft lyricist and virtuosic guitarist with inimitable musicianship, Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett followed her debut with 2017’s Lotta Sea Lice, an acclaimed collaborative record with Kurt Vile, and eschewed the vignettes of her early records on 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel, her humid, political sophomore record. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward. On March 27th, 2026 Courtney will release her 4th studio album, Creature of Habit.

This 'Best Of' set will revisit selected tracks from albums Open, One Soul Now, Early 21st Century Blues, At The End of Paths Taken, Renmin Park, Demons, Sing In My Meadow, The Wilderness, All That Reckoning, Songs of the Recollection and Such Ferocious Beauty. Open To Beauty will be available as a 3 LP, 2 CD and digital set. Speaking about the new collection Cowboy Junkies' Michael Timmins said: "We are now 25 years into this century, the beginning of which saw us leave the world of major labels and return to making music as an independent band. We figured this was as good a time as any to look back, reassess, and reflect on the music that we have recorded over these past two and a half decades and, hence, Open to Beauty - The Best of the 21st Century." The enduring power of Cowboy Junkies' music was in evidence recently when their signature performance of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" was featured in the final episode of Netflix TV series Stranger Things.

Can't go over it. Can't go under it. Gotta go through it. And somewhere out there in the Pitch black beyond all darkness lies Peace & Purpose. The horizon you never quite crest until the inevitable end. Breathe deep - this fearful moment is the most alive you're ever gonna feel. For the last decade, Crack Cloud's vision has grown ever more expansive, more cinematic. Last go around, they dropped from The Heavens and then performed with their bare backs to an endless darkening desert. Now they've crammed all that life into some metallic and strange object called Peace & Purpose. All the terror of living. All the helplessness. All the raw human will. All glued and screwed and locked into this impossible tactile shape of dungeon dub; sour milk vox; Avant-protest music.Music armwrestling itself to the ground. Far afield of beauty. The discordant symphony of factory farming and grim timber of the meat processing plant. The grinding din of the cogs. And yet, never giving up in spite of all good sense. Even in death, we are a coterie of survivors. Look now: There's Terry Fox on his one-legged Marathon of Hope across The Great White North while cancer spreads through his lungs. A self-annihilating drive to feel alive. Rage against the dying of the light, they say. Well, how 'bout it then!?! Peace & Purpose is not in any way some art project meditation on Punk Rock. It is Punk Rock. Terrifying, inspiring, vital, invigorating and most importantly, utterly unexpected. Every goddamn stupid day is a sublime slice of fresh hell. That's the point. Gotta go through it. Wishing you Peace & Purpose - if only in that last big breath.

Sidings is the third full-length double LP by Craven Faults, following 2020 debut Erratics & Unconformities and 2023's Standers. These long-form releases have each been punctuated with shorter single disc albums - Enclosures at the end of 2020 and Bounds in 2024. Each one builds on Craven Faults' lore and takes a unique view of the north of England through the spectrum of slowly unfurling analogue electronic music. It draws influence from the global underground of the arts and music, via records, studios and concerts, and how the landscape outside the old mill Craven Faults calls home came to look the way it does. The journey on Sidings isn't made with people in mind. It begins in an isolated community which built up around one of the great engineering projects of it's age - 14 tunnels and 22 viaducts to open up the north - and finishes at an enclosed field on a moor in 1858. It takes in studios from Los Angeles to Rochdale from 1952 to 1980, while drawing inspiration from the progress in manmade infrastructure and the transport of goods.The devil's in the details. It always was and it always will be. It's there for those who seek it out.- Second edition 4CD box set by popular demand- First edition SOLD OUT on pre-order- Additional 500 units in new colourway box - INDIES ONLY- Includes remastered versions of all tracks from Bounds and Thwaite Watermill plus the full 'May Birching' broadcast"Haunted and otherworldly...

Crippled Black Phoenix was formed in 2004 by Justin Greaves as an ever-evolving musical project driven by emotional inquiry and moral tension. Across two decades, the project has built a singular catalogue rooted in human fragility, endurance, and resistance to complacency. 'Sceaduhelm' represents the project's most inward-looking and austere statements to date. Written and recorded between 2023 and 2025, the new album turns away from grand historical narratives to examine emotional erosion, fatigue, and quiet collapse. Rather than a traditional concept record, it unfolds as a unified psychological space, where repetition, restraint, and unease carry as much weight as melody. The songwriting favors slow builds and unresolved tension, resisting catharsis in favour of endurance. Vocals are shared between Belinda Kordic, Ryan Patterson, and Justin Storms, each offering a distinct but complementary perspective within the same emotional terrain. Themes of burnout, memory, violence against the vulnerable, and love already worn thin surface without spectacle. Produced by Justin Greaves and mixed by Iver Sandoy, the sound remains deliberately raw and exposed, avoiding comfort or excess. UPC: 822603019735Label: Season Of MistRelease Date: 4.17.26Format: CD
Pleasure, shame, and survival often arrive tangled together, indistinguishable in the moment. Camgirl, from Crippling Alcoholism, takes that entanglement as it's starting point. Rather than separating desire from damage, the record allows them to coexist, tracing a path through obsession, performance, and persistence without offering clean resolution.Camgirl is the 2025 breakthrough album from Boston's Crippling Alcoholism, a record that frames pop immediacy against obsession, endurance, and collapse. Built from ear-wormy hooks and abrasive noise rock textures, the album smuggles grotesque and confrontational subject matter into songs that remain deliberately melodic. Pleasure and revulsion blend throughout, with choruses that linger even as the lyrics refuse comfort.Released on September 12, 2025, Camgirl follows a loose narrative centered on a sex worker moving through cycles of exploitation and survival, treating intimacy as spectacle and visibility as threat. Songs flicker between desire and despair, confession and performance, flooded with artificial light. Despite it's subject matter, the record resists nihilism. It's closing moments arrive quietly triumphant, not through escape or redemption, but through persistence itself.Originally released on vinyl by Portrayal of Guilt Records, the first pressing of Camgirl sold out quickly. The Flenser reissue makes the album widely available for the first time, reaffirming it as a defining statement from a band operating at the intersection of pop form, noise, and lived experience.

One afternoon, Eric Bachmann's son returned from school with a sheath of pictures he'd drawn, all of them macabre. "There were crows and sinister figures with scythes and tombstones," he recalls. On one, he had written 'DETH, SWET DETH,' and everything clicked in my head." Swet Deth, Bachmann's first album under his Crooked Fingers moniker after a 15-year hiatus, organized itself around the image: it's songs are about death, yes, but there's a sweetness to them, a wry sensibility to his lyrics that comes from having experienced many kinds of death and the life that follows in it's wake. "Crooked Fingers" is a historically slippery concept - no two albums sound alike or feature the same lineup in studio or on tour. Hearing parts in these songs that called for instruments he didn't play or vocals that weren't in his register, he found himself expanding the roster of guest musicians further than he had on any album in his catalog, including Sharon Van Etten ("Haunted"), The National's Matt Berninger ("From All Ways"), and Superchunk's Mac McCaughan ("Cold Waves"). But first he started with family, friends, and frequent collaborators. Jon Rauhouse plays pedal steel. Bachmann's wife, Liz Durrett, contributes vocals, as do members of his touring band, Skylar Gudasz and Avery Leigh Draut (of Night Palace).There is a freedom to this collection of songs, a groove to them that would belie their agonies and anxieties were mere death the album's point and not what comes before. For Eric Bachmann, that has been growth, as a musician and as a man. Like the tree sprouting from the graveyard on it's cover, Swet Deth is surprising and lush, a shock of color against it's morbid landscape, proof of life in the shadow of it's opposite. "RIP Eric Bachmann," one tombstone reads. As Crooked Fingers, he's never felt more alive.

Crooked Oak were a North East English folk group formed in the early 1970s by singer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Evans. Rooted firmly in traditional song and tune, the band combined clear, unaffected vocals with acoustic textures drawn from guitar, whistle, mandolin, dulcimer, and bass. Alongside Evans, Paul Bagley and Jim Fraser helped shape a sound that was direct, melodic, and unembellished, avoiding fashionable excess in favour of strong material and musicianship. Their privately issued 1976 LP is now regarded as a minor classic of British folk, praised for it's atmosphere, sincerity, and emotional depth. In 1977, The Foot O'Wor Stair followed, closing a remarkable chapter for this extraordinary band. UPC: 741869416488Label: Good TimeRelease Date: 5.22.26Format: CD

Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands have steadily emerged as one of the genre’s most ambitious modern voices, and in 2026 they return with their most demanding and fully realized work to date – ‘Apocalypse’. On this album, the band have collaborated with famed producers Nick Raskulinecz and David Bottrill (both known for their work with Rush), whose contrasting approaches informed the albums creation. Conceptually, Apocalypse is designed as a complete, album sides narrative experience, crafted with the classic album format in mind and unfolding as a cohesive story set in the same universe as their 2023 album Fearless. At the heart of the record lies the 19-minute title track, a sprawling epic that anchors the record both musically and narratively. Ultimately, Apocalypse is about change, the end of one thing and the uncertain beginning of another. That theme resonates not only within the album’s sci-fi narrative, but in Crown Lands’ own evolution, capturing a band fully in command of its vision and ready to push beyond every boundary it has previously set. Available as a Ltd CD Edition, Gatefold Neon Orange LP & as Digital Album.

What if 40 minutes of instrumental music made by two friends passing files across state lines could capture the range of human experience, or at least a disproportionate chunk of it-worry and camaraderie, hope and frustration, tenderness and absurdity? That is the question that steadily emerges across the nine tracks of the self-titled debut from Croz Boyce, the duo of two musicians who have made some of the last quarter-century's most inquisitive music, Dave Portner (Avey Tare) and Brian Weitz (Geologist) of Animal Collective.

Crystal Tides' long-awaited debut album Toothpaste is the sound of a band truly coming into their own. Written and recorded completely independently, the record embodies the spirit of resilience, creativity, and raw honesty that has carried the Portsmouth outfit through their journey so far. "We wanted the focus of this album to showcase our independence as a band. We felt it important, given our journey thus far, that it come from us in as raw form as possible." The seeds of Toothpaste were planted back in 2022 with rough voice notes on lead singer Billy's phone, evolving into a collection of songs that capture both the band's infectious energy and their most personal reflections to date. From collaborative writing sessions in the practice room to late-night home demos, every track carries the DNA of Crystal Tides' unity and determination. Working with long-time collaborator and producer David Evans, the result is a bold, heartfelt body of work that celebrates their independence while delivering polished, stadium-ready anthems. The album takes it's name from one of it's most intimate tracks. Toothpaste was born out of Billy's battle with Ulcerative Colitis, which led to life-changing surgery. A passing joke about naming the album after the song became a moment of clarity. It's unusual, striking title felt like the only choice, a symbol of the band's authenticity and ability to find meaning even in the unexpected.

The Cure are to release the 1986 mix of 'Boys Don't Cry', making it available digitally for the first time ever in line with it's 40th Anniversary.
