Like the days of Steely Dan or Harry Nilsson releasing a classic album every year (or less) comes Mac DeMarco’s Another One, a Mini-LP announced one year after the release of the meteorically successful Salad Days. Written and recorded during the downtime between a relentless touring schedule, Another One is an eight-track release that expands the arsenal of Mac’s already impressive catalog, showing the maturity of Mac’s progression as songwriter: it’s a bit more refined, a bit more sophisticated, but nonetheless retains the guts and soul of classic Mac.

Before you ancients out there turn your heads and scoff at the premise of a twenty-something rock-and-roll goofball calling himself an old-anything, consider this: said perpetrator, he who answers to the name Mac DeMarco, has spent the better part of his time thus far writing, recording, and releasing an album of his own music pretty much every calendar flip, and pretty much on his own. The fresh meat you’re now feasting on, This Old Dog, makes for his fifth in just over half a decade—bringing the total to 3 LPs and 2 EPs.

A eulogy to a band and a millennium, the year 2000's collaborative Macha Loved Bedhead has been remastered from the original analog tapes and finally makes it's way to the mother format. Recorded long distance by Wichita Falls-born brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane and Josh and Mischo McKay, this five-song, 34-minute EP combines gamelan, slowcore, and a cover of Cher's "Believe" pecked out on a touch tone phone into a seamless meditation on life at the end of the American century.

Magdalena Bay, the Los Angeles-based duo of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin, create magical pop music that floats in the ether of our collective social cosmos. While they call California home, their essence lies in the clouds, emitting unique yet familiar frequencies of synthesized nostalgia, kitschy catchiness, and warped neo-hooks. Suited for the times, Magdalena Bay blends the known and felt with innovative sonic landscapes.Tenenbaum and Lewin met as teenagers in a Miami high school music program. Tenenbaum, who moved from Buenos Aires to Florida at age one, and Lewin, a guitar shredder influenced by his dad’s prog and concept rock records, quickly recognized their kindred spirits. They formed a prog band called Tabula Rasa and began a romance. Both were skilled musicians; Tenenbaum a pianist and singer, and Lewin self-taught in production and music theory. Despite attending different colleges, they maintained their band, traveling hours to rehearse before realizing two things: their relationship was undeniable, and prog rock wasn’t resonating with young audiences.Shifting their focus to pop, they explored its craft, leading to the creation of Magdalena Bay. They learned the complexities of pop writing and production, striving to create something interesting within the genre. Describing their music broadly as "pop," they released several EPs and singles before debuting their album, "Mercurial World," in 2021. Praised for its melodic hooks and meticulous production, it was often labeled as "synth-pop."

Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin began their musical journey together over 10 years ago in a Miami after-school music program. Connecting through their shared music tastes, the two formed a band that endured until the two parted ways for college. Not long afterward, Tenenbaum and Lewin reconnected and formed what we now know as the indie-pop duo Magdalena Bay.The duo released their EP truly moments before the pandemic pervaded through North America, bringing their tour to an abrupt end. Resiliency illustrated at its peak, Magdalena Bay dipped their heads into a focused timeline, coming out of the pandemic with their debut album, Mercurial World. Magdalena Bay peruses the sound of experimental pop, crafting a synthy world that shatters genres and bends time to the pair’s will, elevating their sound to match their philosophical reflections. Lewin shared, “We spend all of our time together, and in some ways Mercurial World is about that particular sense of madness in containment. We live together and make art together; this immerses you in our creative, insular universe.”

Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”Their new album, I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band’s most fully realized recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band’s official lineup. The band changed their entire creative formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton , over slowly crafting tracks at home. “Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,” says Regisford.

After more than 35 years, ten studio albums, and eight Grammy Awards, Metallica has more than proven it's staying power as rock's preeminent metal group. They are one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '80s and '90s, inspiring generations of rockers with their early thrash and later hard rock sounds before settling into their roles as a popular legacy act in the 2000s. Responsible for bringing the metal genre back to earth, the bandmates looked and talked like they were from the street, shunning the usual rock star games of metal musicians during the mid-'80s pop-metal renaissance. In The Many Faces of Metallica, we will review their catalog via tribute performances by bands that have been heavily influenced by the quartet from Los Angeles, California. Included here are versions of Metallica songs from their first album in 1983 thru St. Anger from 2003. Also included are many of the bands that helped shape the sound of Metallica including Motorhead, Saxon, Venom, Blitzkrieg and Budgie. With fantastic artwork and remastered sound, The Many Faces of Metallica is an essential addition to our Many Faces collection, and, remember that the album is not available on streaming platforms!

"While performing at an early Twentieth Century steam driven power plant and imagining what it's industrial ambiance might have been, an outline of 'A Penchant for the Useless' emerged. Like many of my projects, the album started with a search for the kinds of unique, amusical sounds I wanted to work with. And credit is also due to a rereading of Nicolas Collins' 'Handmade Electronic Music.'" Using a collection of electric guitar pickups, contact microphones, and transducers that would vibrate random metallic and wooden objects, Barreca built a library of loop recordings. Also recorded were the electronic buzzes and bleeps of a computer and various home appliances. Granular effect processing and layering with a sampler and a physical modeling synth transformed this largely atonal source material into deep, harmonious assemblages. These long chains of sonic transformations fused with the dark beauty of their industrial steam-era inspiration, and resonate throughout the music. Only rarely will these pieces hint at their now obsolete and decaying source materials. 'A Penchant for the Useless' is Marc Barreca's 15th solo album, adding to a catalog of constantly evolving and refining experimentation and compositional innovation that now spans more than four decades.Barreca has also collaborated with Three Point Circle, Young Scientist, Savant, and K. Leimer. Mastered by Taylor Deupree at 12K Mastering. UPC: 195269404352Label: Palace Of LightsRelease Date: 5.1.26Format: CD

Big Crown Records is proud to present Glera, Marco Benevento's debut album on the label. Marco Benevento has always moved like someone who understands the studio as it's own instrument, not just a room where the toys are. Long before he began appearing on stages with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, and in the liner notes of albums by Clairo and Leon Bridges, Benevento was already thinking like a producer - listening for texture, tension, and negative space, and for the strange emotional alchemy that occurs when groove and curiosity collide. His new album Glera sharpens that instinct into focus, presenting Benevento not only as a virtuosic keyboardist and bandleader, but as a composer building worlds from rhythm, tone, and feeling.Glera is a genre-bending jazz record that folds in soul and reggae's elastic low end with an open-door sense of possibility. The project began three years ago as a kind of private exercise, with Benevento writing intuitively, inspired by Italian film scores and melody. Over time, those sketches evolved into something broader and more muscular, culminating in the grand majesty heard here. What emerges is music that moves cinematically without becoming precious. Tracks can feel like chase scenes or slow dissolves, sometimes within the same song, with jazz improvisation sharing space alongside reggae pocket, orchestral elements, and psych-pop atmosphere. It's exploratory but grounded, complex yet unmistakably groove-forward.Album opener "Frizzante" is pure musical celebration captured on tape - a high-energy, feel-good banger that finds Marco trading melodies with himself over a relentless groove. On "Turandot," Benevento is joined by Italy's own Marianne Mirage on vocals; the haunting, cinematic track sits comfortably between the worlds of Portishead and Serge Gainsbourg. Then comes "Big Top," stretching the album's palette even further; equipped with voice memos and peacock calls, it's most aptly summed up as "circus funk." Blow the whistle and the game begins with the jazz-fusion-esque dancefloor filler "Houdini," a kick-in-the-door burner from the very first drumbeat. Blending dream pop into the mix on "I Can't Control This Bliss," Marco invites Dream Crease to the microphone for a dose of lo-fi gorgeousness. Elizabeth Steiner brings her storied harp work to "Miss Neptune" over a deeply vibey, reggae-influenced backing track. Putting the pedal to the metal, "Sprezzatura" plays like a high-speed pursuit through narrow streets, while "Quattro Passi" brings the pace down to a saunter, featuring jazz vocalist Chiara Civello.Marco Benevento is operating at the highest level, shaping sound with purpose and curiosity. This album announces itself loudly-both outward-facing and deeply intimate. It's music that moves-across genres, tempos, and registers-while remaining anchored to the joy of discovery. It's a record that embodies motion, carrying the past forward without ever standing still

MARK FARNER (of Grand Funk Railroad fame)Remastered CDRoxx Records proudly partners with Meis Music to revive and celebrate Mark Farner's classic Frontline Records releases with two new reissues, Wake Up... (1989) and Some Kind of Wonderful (1991). Both albums are being remastered and released on CD. The albums are being mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (Brother Cane, King's X, Galactic Cowboys).Mark Farner began his musical career in Michigan during the mid-1960s, playing in local bands and developing a style rooted in blues, rock, and soul. Before achieving national fame, he performed with groups like Terry Knight and the Pack, where he honed his songwriting and guitar skills. His early experiences in the Detroit-area music scene helped shape his raw, energetic approach that would later define his massive success with Grand Funk Railroad in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. Grand Funk released 13 studio albums, 4 live albums, 8 compilation albums, and 25 singles. This includes six platinum and seven gold-certified albums between their recording debut in 1969 and their first disbandment in 1976. The band had a string of hit singles such as "We're an American Band", "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)", "Some Kind of Wonderful" (a cover of Soul Brothers Six), "Walk Like a Man", "The Loco-Motion" (a cover of Little Eva), "Bad Time" and "Inside Looking Out" (a cover of the Animals).After his rise to fame with Grand Funk, Farner entered a markedly different phase of his career in the 1980s. This period saw him step away from mainstream rock excess and lean into message-driven songwriting, blending his signature guitar work and bluesy rock approach with spiritually focused lyrics. Farner tied his work closely to Frontline Records during this time, a label known for promoting rock and metal artists with faith-based messages.Farner's third and final studio album for Frontline Records was Some Kind of Wonderful. The title track, a remake of the classic Soul Brothers Six song popularized by his former band Grand Funk Railroad in 1974. Re-recording this track was a brilliant marketing move. The song was a nod to Farner's past, bringing in the old fans, and an introduction of his voice to a whole new audience. His new version updates the arrangement with contemporary production while still emphasizing the bluesy groove and vocal swagger that made the song endearing and enduring. This balance between nostalgia and modernization is a defining trait of the album, helping it to be one of the best-selling albums on the Frontline label and held in high regard by fans to this day.Since the mid-1990s, Mark has largely focused on touring under his own name, often billed as "Mark Farner's American Band," a nod to one of Grand Funk's most iconic songs. His live shows have remained his strongest connection to fans, featuring a mix of Grand Funk hits and solo material, delivered with the same high-energy guitar work and vocals that defined his early fame. Farner is currently touring with his American Band in 2026.

Throat consists of two artists on sabbatical from their day jobs - Nick Power from The Coral, and McKowski as one half of The Lost Brothers, film score composer, screenwriter and touring musician (Jolie Holland, Howe Gelb, M. Ward). Recorded in the period of 2021 and 2024 between Omagh, Northern Ireland and Merseyside, Throat is a journey through McKowski and Power's shared imaginations, at times reminiscent of the rumbling darkness of Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' movie scores; poetry readings held in the middle of stone circles just before dawn light; the bleaker moments of The Wicker Man soundtrack or spending time at a lock-in at a haunted?folk club where the beer's been spiked.

Death of Ghillie Man

First-ever reissue of both 1973 Capitol albums by Mark Wirtz - the producer, arranger, and Ivor Novello winner behind A Teenage Opera - restored to their original US LP configurations and paired together for the first time. Balloon (February 1973), recorded at Apple Studios with engineer Geoff Emerick, introduced Wirtz as a singer, with lush orchestration and theatrical pop craft. Hothouse Smiles (August 1973), written after his move to Silver Lake, California, turns the same lavish production toward sharp, satirical vignettes of American life - hailed at the time as an attempt at an American Sgt. Pepper. Session players include Chris Spedding, Clem Cattini, Ray Cooper, Albert Lee, Jim Gordon, Larry Knechtel, Jim Horn, and Max Bennett. Bonus track: the non-LP B-side "Nothing To Do." Newly remastered by Prof. Stoned. Mini-LP gatefold packaging with printed inserts. Limited pressing.
