In celebration of the new Mitski record, there will be four limited edition alternate versions of Laurel Hell: the Stay Soft Get Eaten CDs. Each edition makes up one quadrant of a greater image so that when all four are put together, one cohesive exclusive image of Mitski appears. ~ Each edition is named after a line from the hook of the album's third track "Stay Soft": "STAY Version," "SOFT Version," "GET Version," and "EATEN Version." These are signified by the version titles being in the corner of each slipcover.We don’t typically look to pop albums to answer our cultural moment, let alone to meet the soul hunger left in the wake of global catastrophe. But occasionally, an artist proves the form more malleable and capacious than we knew. With Laurel Hell, Mitski cements her reputation as an artist in possession of such power - capable of using her talent to perform the alchemy that turns our most savage and alienated experiences into the very elixir that cures them.
Her critically beloved last album, Be the Cowboy, built on the breakout acclaim of 2016’s Puberty 2 and launched her from cult favorite to indie star. She ascended amid a fever of national division, and the grind of touring and pitfalls of increased visibility influenced her music as much as her spirit. Like the mountain laurels for this new album is named, public perception, like the intoxicating prism of the internet, can offer an alluring façade that obscures a deadly trap—one that tightens the more you struggle. Exhausted by this warped mirror, and our addiction to false binaries, she began writing songs that stripped away the masks and revealed the complex and often contradictory realities behind them.
She wrote many of these songs during or before 2018, while the album finished mixing in May 2021. It is the longest span of time Mitski has ever spent on a record, and a process that concluded amid a radically changed world. She recorded Laurel Hell with her longtime producer Patrick Hyland throughout the isolation of a global pandemic, during which some of the songs “slowly took on new forms and meanings, like seed to flower.” Sometimes it’s hard to see the change when you’re the agent of it, but for the lucky rest of us, Mitski has written a soundtrack for transformation, a map to the place where vulnerability and resilience, sorrow and delight, error and transcendence can all sit within our humanity, can all be seen as worthy of acknowledgment, and ultimately, love.

Ask Mitski Miyawaki about happiness and she'll warn you: "Happiness fucks you." It's a lesson that's been writ large into the New Yorker's gritty, outsider-indie for years, but never so powerfully as on her newest album, 'Puberty 2'. "Happiness is up, sadness is down, but one's almost more destructive than the other," she says. "When you realise you can't have one without the other, it's possible to spend periods of happiness just waiting for that other wave." On 'Puberty 2', that tension is palpable: a both beautiful and brutal romantic hinterland, in which one of America's new voices hits a brave new stride.

Sometimes, Mitski says, it feels like life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can’t be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. “The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” Mitski says. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have, after I die, so that I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will continue to shine that love long after she’s gone. Listening to it, that’s precisely how it feels: like a love that’s haunting the land. “This is my most American album,” Mitski says about her seventh record, and the music feels like a profound act of witnessing this country, in all of its private sorrows and painful contradictions. In this album, which is sonically Mitski’s most expansive, epic, and wise, the songs seem to be introducing wounds and then actively healing them. Here, love is time-traveling to bless our tender days, like the light from a distant star. The album is full of the ache of the grown- up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It’s a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything, and everyone, is crying out, screaming in pain, arching towards love. Love is that inhospitable land, beckoning us and then rejecting us. To love this place — this earth, this America, this body — takes active work. It might be impossible. The best things are.

Mj Lenderman is a songwriter born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina. The anatomy of an MJ record might go something like this: warped pedal steels and skuzzed out guitar; crackin' a cold one with some buds; a voice reminiscent of the high-lonesome warble of a choirboy. Songs snake their way from a lo-fi home recording to something glossier made with longtime friends at Asheville's Drop of Sun studios, but the recording setting doesn't seem to matter much - at it's core, a Lenderman song rings true.Manning Fireworks is a remarkable development in Mj Lenderman's story as an incredibly incisive singer-songwriter, whose propensity for humor always points to some uneasy, disorienting darkness. The punchlines are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made Lenderman a favorite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero. There's a new sincerity, too, as Lenderman let's listeners clearly see the world through his warped lens.

Just a few years after self-recording their debut album between college classes, Philadelphia’s Modern Baseball will show the world a brand new version of themselves on their third full-length album, Holy Ghost. Thematically, the record is a time-capsule for the two years since the release of their Run For Cover debut You’re Gonna Miss It All, curated in two parts by the band’s guitarists and main songwriters, Jacob Ewald and Brendan Lukens. Splitting the record into two halves, both take the helm to curate the sonic journey into territory both familiar and foreign in the band’s discography. Whether it be on the stream of consciousness report on the down-trodden "Every Day” or the heartbreaking, question-filled lyrics on “Apple Cider, I Don’t Mind,” it becomes clear that Holy Ghost is a certainly transformative record for a band maturing into greatness.

Philly's Modern Baseball have been on every 2012 year-end list, and finally we have their debut full-length record SPORTS! The band's first full length is uniquely modern, capturing a sort of love and loneliness, as it conveys how it feels to be young and hopeless in modern America. Singer Brendan Lukens' words are presenting familiar narratives with clever, vivid images and put a contemporary twist on universal conflicts, love lost and love found, epic and disastrous nights, and the search for connection and purpose.

A physics theory says past, present, and future coexist - and that’s the best lens for An Eraser and a Maze, which feels like every era of Modest Mouse happening at once. Guided by Isaac Brock’s instinct-first process, the album is both familiar and alien, warm and cold. It stretches across the band’s sonic history, from propulsive classics to stripped, raw moments, while carrying an undercurrent of mortality and loss that refuses easy optimism.

Mojave 3's founding members are vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead, bassist/vocalist Rachel Goswell, and drummer Ian McCutcheon, members of definitive shoegazers Slowdive. The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal.Released in October 1995, Ask Me Tomorrow could have easily been the fourth Slowdive album, sounding like an acoustic deconstruction of the group's early recordings, still dreamlike and ethereal but recontextualized by discernible lyrics and a country-folk aesthetic. "We put quite a lot of reverb on the vocals," Neil recalls of the primitive recording style, "and because we were all in one room recording straight to tape, there was a lot of bleed, it made everything sound really reverby. It gave the mix this really cool, murky sound and sort of inadvertently bridges the gap to Slowdive a little." Channelling the sorrowful songwriting of Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Townes Van Zant, and Fairport Convention, as well as contemporaries like Mazzy Star, Tindersticks, and Cowboy Junkies, this tone is set by the transcendent opener "Love Songs on the Radio," in which Rachel's angelic vocals are suspended in air by slow, sleepwalking guitar and minimalist bass and drum flourishes. "I sang that song sitting on a mattress in the kitchen of Neil's flat," Rachel recalls. "It was exciting because I really enjoyed the songs, and it felt like this entirely new thing was forming with only me, Neil and Ian." "It was a very easy record to make, very off the cuff," Ian confirms. "The atmosphere had been so toxic at the end of Slowdive, that it just felt so positive to be starting over with Rachel, Neil and myself, having a good time doing something completely different."

Mojave 3's founding members are vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead, bassist/vocalist Rachel Goswell, and drummer Ian McCutcheon, members of definitive shoegazers Slowdive. The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal.With the band returning to London to work and live at the famed Fortress studios, Excuses for Travellers was the first of two consecutive albums recorded with the help of friend and electronic artist Mark Van Hoen. Combining the melancholy and stripped-down intimacy of Ask Me Tomorrow and the Laurel Canyon soul of Out of Tune, it finds the band refining their touch to create a more cohesive record that rightfully sits at the middle of their ever-morphing sound. Lusciously textured with restrained guitar, drums, pedal steel, horns, and piano, it's an introspective campfire record that let's Neil's voice and songwriting take center stage ("In Love with a View," "My Life in Art," "She Broke You So Softly"), while also featuring the only two Mojave tracks solely credited to Rachel ("Bringin' Me Home") and Ian ("Got My Sunshine"). Reflecting on his growth as a songwriter, Neil says, "Unlike Slowdive, where the music is at the forefront and nobody is focusing on what anyone's saying, you couldn't really hide the lyrics with Mojave 3. I had to think about them more, work harder on them."

Mojave 3's founding members are vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead, bassist/vocalist Rachel Goswell, and drummer Ian McCutcheon, members of definitive shoegazers Slowdive. The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal.After playing the band on their first tours of the US and Europe, Simon Rowe of Chapterhouse and organ/piano player Alan Forrester had joined the group full-time for the next record, essentially turning Mojave 3 into Mojave 5. Not only that, but the four men in the band also moved into a farmhouse in Cornwall, building a small studio in a cowshed where they demoed songs for what became Out of Tune. "It was a real communal experience living on this village farm with Ian, Alan, and Simon, and other friends," says Neil. "It was our own little Big Pink." "That was a real Band-y sort of atmosphere," agrees Ian, "very old school, with everyone learning their parts and playing at the same time. Our sound became bigger, more raucous and poppy, as a result." "I was living in London and coming down to stay for a few weeks at a time," says Rachel. "We were young and really having fun with it." The band decamped to Cava Studios in Glasgow to record Out of Tune, which turned into a long process of remixing, rerecording, and adding new elements like pedal steel and brass. While the procedure was labored, the highly polished result is a bright, largely upbeat record that showcases a new sophistication in Neil's lyrics while sounding much more like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Gram Parsons than anything resembling Slowdive.

By the time of their final album, Mojave 3 had journeyed a long way from the dreamy, country-tinged sadcore they started with. Reminiscent of the late days of Slowdive, both Neil and Rachel had released solo records, Ian was playing in other bands, and Neil was once again going off on his own to finish the album himself. Leapfrogging the sonic direction of their previous album, Puzzles Like You brings in jangly Byrds guitars and uptempo Sixties pop melodies for a positively bright and fun record that feels right at home next to indie rock, while sounding nearly unrecognizable next to the band they were on Ask Me Tomorrow. "It's a much perkier, more 'indie' record," says Neil, "although there's still some quite nice country stuff on there. 'Most Days', 'Big Star Baby', and Ian's song 'The Mutineer' are some of my favorite songs that Mojave made." Sadly, after recording her vocals for the album, Rachel entered a period of illness that would prevent her from touring or recording for several years. Along with Neil's growing solo career, the band seemed to be reaching it's natural conclusion. And so Mojave 3 disappeared, blown away by the desert sands they came from. Over the next few years, the shoegaze sound Neil and Rachel first made together was discovered and mythologized by a new generation, and it was Slowdive's turn to be reborn, becoming bigger and more beloved than anyone could have imagined. As a result of their unpredicted success, Mojave 3's own myth has grown, resulting in their records being some of 4AD's most requested reissues of the last decade. With these 2026 reissues putting all five albums in print once again, perhaps it's Mojave 3's time to rise from the ashes and fly once again.

The band broke cover in 1995, when a six-track demo impressed 4AD sufficiently to offer them a deal. Never ones to sit still, Spoon and Rafter marked a shift for Mojave 3. While still containing echoes of singer-songwriters and alt-country, the record represents a Technicolor expansion of their palette that utilizes electronics, glockenspiels, melodica, and Beatlesque production. "It's quite a bonkers album, really," says Ian. "By that stage we had our own studio again on the north Cornish coast in the UK. We had time to pick up different instruments and just faff around. It was quite a process, but it's my favorite record we did. " "We sort of entered our Beach Boys phase of Mojave 3," says Neil, "where we became more interested in different instrumentation and a fuller sound. Thanks to Mark [Van Hoen] it was the first time we used an early Pro Tools system to edit stuff together, so some of the tracks are much longer and more orchestrated, like 'Bluebird of Happiness,' which has three different sections that were all recorded separately and then chopped together.

The second LP by Belarussian trio Molchat Doma, (pronounced Etazhi, meaning "Floors"), was first released in 2018 on Berlin-based Detriti Records. It became a viral hit, garnering over one million views on YouTube and becoming a legitimate phenomenon on Bandcamp. The band may fly under the radar in their native Belarus, but they've reached huge audiences across Europe and beyond. Six separate vinyl pressings of the album have sold out in quick succession, and Sacred Bones Records is now thrilled to bring the record back in print for good. Molchat Doma (translated as "Houses Are Silent"), founded in 2017 in Minsk, Belarus, stands at the intersection of post-punk, new-wave and synth-pop. Dark yet danceable, and with a heavy dose of goth ethos, their music is reminiscent of the masters that predate them, but make no mistake: Molchat Doma creates a sound and meaning that is immediately recognizable as all their own. The band is comprised of Egor Shkutko, who sings the Russian lyrics in his deep monotone, Roman Komogortsev on guitar, synths, and drum machine, and Pavel Kozlov on bass and synths.

For well over a decade, MONOLORD have caused mass riff hypnosis with longform epics steeped in repetition, volume, and heaviness. One of heavy music’s most consistent and beloved bands, MONOLORD are gearing up for their next chapter with a new album titled Neverending.In looking for a new take on the genre, MONOLORD approached the legendary producer Sylvia Massy, known for her work with Tool, System of a Down, and Johnny Cash, among many more. The payoff from this new process is undeniable. Neverending feels like the culmination of 13 years of heavy, molten music, with a keen eye towards creating a sharper album. “The recording of this album is an example of the spirit of MONOLORD’s camaraderie,†says bassist Mika Häkki. “We’ve looked back and seen for the first time how much we have done as a band collectively, and realized what an intense 13 years it has been.â€"The lyrics on this album are more personal than before because I went through some major life changes in the last couple of years,†guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger says. “I usually write about religion and how people are superstitious, but this record is more about relationships between people. But it’s not all about me. Sometimes I’m writing from another person’s perspective.â€Neverending’s lead single “You Bastard†offers listeners a sharp contrast: A propulsive groove offset by lyrics about suicide. There’s two sides to suicide,†Jäger points out. “There’s the person who commits suicide and the people who gets left behind...The choruses represent the person left behind, and that person is calling the other a bastard—but it’s not pointing fingers or saying, ‘You suck.’ It’s more like, ‘You left me here with all the bullshit.’ It’s an understanding that life is not easy."Though it might not be immediately obvious, album opener “Iodine†was inspired by 70's rock epics like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird,†The Eagles’ “Hotel California,†and Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter." Elsewhere, album closer “It’s Neverending†is the first MONOLORD song that Jäger doesn’t sing on. Instead, the death-metal style vocals are performed by former Entombed bassist Jörgen Sandström, (also of Grave, Domedagen and Firespawn.)13 years on, MONOLORD’s path takes a new turn, and Neverending becomes the band’s most befitting album title. “It's been a wild ride and still is,†says drummer Esben Willems. “I've spent a quarter of my life in this band. Looking back, I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished along the way, and in many ways, this album feels like the essence of everything we've done so far. My mindset is the same it's always been, to be the absolute best the three of us can be.†UPC: 781676763221Label: RelapseRelease Date: 5.29.26Format: CD

Moodring symbolizes transformation. The musical entity’s name hints at volatility—color, emotion, and temperature in flux. Nowhere is that more evident than in death fetish, a defining album for a haunting and defiant new chapter. For founder and frontman Hunter Young, this is more than a record. It’s survival, reflection, and metamorphosis. It is art made from the raw materials of pain, purpose, and persistence. Young conceived Moodring alone, in his bedroom, an exercise in catharsis through art. The resulting debut EP, 2021’s Showmetherealyou, resonated with a surprising number of diverse listeners. That connection inspired Moodring to evolve into a creative outlet that transcended its simple origins. Both sensual and suffocating, the Stargazer album followed in 2022. In a glowing review, Kerrang! praised the full-length as “hefty from the get-go” and likened it to “a cool wave of water lapping over you.” The album’s “vivacious” vocal work and vibe made new Moodring fans around the world. The following year’s EP, Your Light Fades Away, expanded the palette further, fusing ferocity, shimmering melody, and nü-metal groove into something equally cinematic and claustrophobic. The “black-velvet nu-metal melodies and bleak-booming breakdowns” (Revolver) of 2025’s “half-life” were, sadly, inspired by a life-changing medical diagnosis that left Young unable to tour with Moodring or his accomplished deathcore outfit, SharpTone Records labelmates PSYCHO-FRAME.
Unable to tour and unwilling to compromise, Young focused on writing and recording new music. death fetish is the sound of transcendence—an artist refusing to disappear, even as the light fades. For all its darkness, death fetish is not a surrender. It’s a reclamation. It’s Young taking back control of his narrative—body failing, mind racing, still creating, still here. “I just wanted to make a dark, honest record,” he says. “And if people don’t like it, I don’t really care. I had to do it for myself. ”Moodring, once a more traditional band, now exists as something far more elusive and infinite: a vessel for transformation, a mirror for mortality, and a living testament to pain and creation. *** Indie Exclusive ***UPC: 4065629753504Label: Sharptone RecordsRelease Date: 3.27.26Format: CD
The Mooney Suzuki's landmark debut People Get Ready is getting the deluxe treatment for it's 25th anniversary! The full album is completely remastered and includes the rarity "I'm Not Talkin'" along with the band's 1999 concert at The Cooler in NYC, a blistering, sweat-soaked performance never before released. This seminal 2000s album has never sounded better.Long hailed as one of the ignition sparks of the early-2000s garage-rock revival, People Get Ready helped define the sound and swagger of a scene that would soon reshape rock music. It's explosive energy, razor-wire riffs, and unfiltered urgency were a blueprint for a generation of bands emerging from New York's downtown clubs. Members of The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and other contemporaries have spoken about the electric atmosphere of the band, and People Get Ready stands as one of the records that proved a new wave of rock was not only possible, but inevitable. The Mooney Suzuki's raw, soul-infused attack set a tone that their peers absorbed, expanded, and carried into the global spotlight.

Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents Motiffe. Motiffe were a British underground progressive and psychedelic jazz-rock band active in the early 1970s. The group was formed around brothers John Grimaldi (guitar) and Mark Pasterfield (drums), along with David Shackley (bass), Ian Wilson (flute and vocals), Quentin Bryar (saxophone), and Mike Avery (keyboards). Their only album, Motiffe, was privately released in 1973 in a tiny edition of fewer than 100 copies, making it one of the rarest artefacts of the British progressive scene. The recording, made under primitive conditions with a microphone suspended from the ceiling, is distinctly lo-fi yet strikingly atmospheric. The album blends dark, angular King Crimson-like intensity with passages of jazz-rock improvisation and introspective instrumental interplay. Though largely unheard at the time, Motiffe has since achieved cult status among collectors and progressive rock enthusiasts for it's raw creativity, experimental energy, and unique mood-a snapshot of uncompromising underground music in early-1970s Britain.

Originally released in June 1985, Mötley Crüe's third studio album, Theatre of Pain, ushered in a bold new sound and look while still maintaining the band's signature hard rock intensity. This trendsetting album set the template in terms of style and music for many bands that followed, while Mötley Crüe themselves continued to evolve with each album. Theatre Of Pain was Mötley Crüe's first LP to hit the US Top 10, landing at #6. It was a true global smash as well, hitting #7 Australia, #7 Sweden, #5 Finland, #11 Canada, and their first UK Top 40 album (#36). The album is currently RIAA-certified 4x platinum in the US and 3x platinum in Canada. The seminal video for their iconic track "Home Sweet Home" was #1 most requested for over 90 days and caused MTV to institute the "Crüe Rule," where a video could only be eligible for the request line for 30 days! 40th Anniversary Edition. CD Digisleeve, newly remastered, updated artwork.

We are all capable of reaching within ourselves to find the innocence of our youth. No matter what we accomplish in life, we all come from nowhere and we all end up nowhere. But maybe accepting and even embracing this reality can give that much more meaning to the moments in between. For all of the places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we have as we move through life, we are all essentially still just curious children wondering what we mean to the world. Everyone's a kid at heart, we just dress the part.

Steeped in folk-rock tradition and powered by the intuitive creative connection between Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar) and Sam Cooper (guitar), the songs on Mt. Joy's eponymous debut depict the former wrestling with his own conscience, where the mundane and the fantastic collide as he processes tragedy, society, and love. Opener "I'm Your Wreck" describes "monsters in (the) closet, using up the wi-fi" as it cycles from it's desperate, spiraling verses to it's swinging, stubbornly optimistic coda, while the loping, plaintive chords of "Younger Days" meditate on a frayed psyche and the fear of choosing the wrong path. "Sheep," with it's collapsing, hoarse-voiced cry of "freedom was paid in blood," is a post-Trump salvo on the responsibilities of the fortunate to overcome political and social despondency. "Astrovan" is a warm, yearning bit of road-trip philosophy that posits the existence of a Deadhead Jesus cruising the dusty highways of the countryside. And on "Silver Lining," perhaps the album's brightest moment, Quinn surveys the damage of hard drugs and the vicious cycle of addiction, as the song's melancholic sentiment kicks into it's fervid, defiant chorus, all shout-along vocals and trilling guitars.
