Dorothy Ashby was probably the greatest-and certainly the most swinging-jazz harpist of all time, re-purposing an instrument best known for ethereal glissandos into a fully versatile voice in combo settings, capable of providing both instrumental embroidery and rhythmic drive. But both her gender and the exoticism of her instrument often prevented her from being taken seriously among the hidebound environs of late '50s and '60s jazz. It is that very uniqueness of her sound and station in the jazz world, though, that has made her one of the most collectible musicians of her era, as her music has been sampled and celebrated by modern-day hip hop and world music artists (e.g. Jurassic Five, Bonobo) alike. In a Minor Groove is one of two albums she made in 1958 with flautist/saxophonist Frank Wess, and it is a marvel; backed by fellow Detroit native Herman Wright on bass and the great Roy Haynes on drums, she and Wess weave mesmerizing melodic threads through standards like ""Alone Together"" and ""Yesterdays."" But perhaps the most amazing track is ""Bohemia After Dark,"" which displays Ashby's uncanny ability to turn her harp into a rhythm guitar! For this reissue, we are using the original mono sources-not the rechanneled stereo and jumbled track listing that showed up on Prestige's later repackaging called Dorothy Ashby Plays for Beautiful People. Original album art with Ira Gitler's sleeve notes, too, pressed in clear with red, green, and purple swirl vinyl to match the sonic palette of this classic!

Wavves helped define the late 2000s/early 2010s indie-surf-punk revival and broke through with 'King of the Beach.'Say Anything's '...Is a Real Boy' remains one of the most influential emo/pop-punk records of the 2000s and recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.This collab unites two distinct yet deeply connected corners of the alternative scene, bringing together artists whose catalogs have remained touchstones for fans for nearly two decades. Bridging indie rock, punk, emo, etc. the project connects two generations of alternative music listeners through a pairing that feels both unexpected and long overdue.Wavves & Say Anything on 'Cherry Soda':"When the idea first came up, it felt like one of those things that sounds cool but never actually happens. Then suddenly we were trading songs and putting everything together.The split happened pretty casually. We weren’t trying to make some big statement— I just liked the idea of putting our music next to theirs and seeing what happened. Sometimes that’s enough.

Nearly finds Bullion embracing the beauty of imperfection. After years spent helping define the sound of contemporary avant-pop as a cult producer (Avalon Emerson, Carly Rae Jepsen, Westerman, Ben Howard, and Oliver Sim of the XX), Nathan Jenkins emerges from behind the board to deliver his most distilled album yet - a collection of starry-eyed, timeless electronic pop songs about change, desire, responsibility, and creativity as an irresistible force. It's a celebration of songwriting and craftsmanship from an artist whose distinct vision of pop has always found complexity in restraint.

Achilles features 11 multi-faceted tracks, ranging from high-energy hard rock pieces to more melodic and progressive songs.

Magi Merlin's debut LP, POWER HOUSE, is a high-production, 12-track masterclass in modern pop - an infectious, high-energy record that feels deceptively familiar at first touch, yet every time you reach for a comparison, you realize it doesn't quite fit; a one-of-one project that remains as polished as it is daring.Conceptually, POWER HOUSE is an exploration of the internal architecture we all inhabit, housing the conflicting rooms of anger, fear, vanity, and ultimately, a reclaimed sense of power. Where Magi Merlin's previous work, Gone Girl, was a study of external strength, this new era is an ode to the realization that inner work is the only true outer work. With a perspective that is both empathetic and furious, and a grow-as-you-go philosophy, she proves that real change starts small but sounds massive.

For any other artist, an album like Asher White's 'Love Aggregates' might come out of a conscious push to treat no idea as off-limits, to make something bold and new. Jubilant art-funk about cocaine addiction-absolutely. Swooning orchestral pop about Jerry Garcia-why not? Rippling electronic noise, jazzy brushed drums, an elderly motorcyclist with dementia, a profoundly emotional bass solo-put them all in one song. There are threadbare folk tunes, glammed-up power-pop bangers, ""Sir Duke"" horn charts, Morton Feldman string arrangements, layers of guitar feedback like violins made of liquid chrome. Yes, for another artist, 'Love Aggregates' might be the most adventurous album in their catalog. For Asher White, it's what passes for settling down. White is 25 years old and has been making records-writing, recording, producing, and playing almost everything herself-for over a decade. She'd released two dozen of them on Bandcamp before catching the indie-rock industry's attention with 2024's 'Home Constellation Study' and last year's '8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living.' The latter album, her first for Joyful Noise, zooms from strummy guitar songs to bruising drum'n'bass breakdowns to honest-to-god doom metal riffs. It's dizzy eclecticism and formidable craft landed her on 'Rolling Stone's Future 25 list' with the likes of xaviersobased and Oklou, along with a slew of other accolades. That came as something of a surprise to White, who didn't craft the chaotic '8 Tips' with a breakthrough in mind. 'Love Aggregates' feels like a chance, for one of the most thrilling musical talents of her generation, at a more deliberate introduction. She wrote and recorded her new album while her previous one was gathering momentum, tinkering in the DIY recording studio where she always works, acutely conscious now that people would be listening to whatever she came up with. At around the same time, her years-long romantic relationship ended in a flurry of betrayal and addiction, her first experience of devastating heartbreak. She was determined to present her new audience with an album that felt true to the whole of her artistry as she understood it so far, but also consumed with feelings of a sort that she had no previous cause to explore in her work. ""It was the first time that I was like, Oh, someone is going to be hearing these songs,"" she says. ""And also the first time that I was, like, actually upset while writing them.""

Confronting 2026, hope can seem in short supply, as the most divisive and toxic voices worldwide are amplified amidst an ever-rising temperature of conflict and alienation, yet hope is abundant in 'Losey', the latest release on Rocket Recordings from the mercurial duo Gnoomes. Just as this couple have taken a bold step into the unknown by leaving Russia and moving to Slovenia, so their music has thrown off all shackles to flourish in a defiant show of vibrant and revivifying colour. ""The life of an immigrant is a strange thing."" says the bands Sasha Piankov ""But luckily, that glow music brings us has never faded, even though the emotional landscape has definitely shifted."" Yet whilst the music that Sasha and his creative and life partner Masha Piankova came up with is testimony to a liberating triumph against oppression and adversity, it also goes beyond. What has emerged is a kaleidoscopic collision of styles which sends the 'skygazing' realm of their previous work spinning into electronic orbit. Whilst the opener 'Foreign Agent' explicitly tackles the pressures of the Russian state, it also throws a Stereolab-style motorik meditation through an in-the-red psychedelic prism. Elsewhere we can behold Bulgakov and Chris and Cosey as bedfellows amidst the mesmeric, 303-fried EBM of 'Satan's Ball'.

Violet Vinyl. ""On her debut album Switchbacks, Nashville-based artist Hannah Cole finds inspiration in the image of the switchbacks - sinuous twists in the road that obscure what's ahead. For a young artist making her way in the music industry, it's a powerful image: we can't really know what's ahead for us but - as Cole has learned - you should honk your horn to tell the world you're coming, and otherwise just enjoy the ride. Melding shoegaze and alternative rock with infectious pop melodies and strains of 90s nostalgia, Switchbacks is a commentary on the pursuit of success and how to protect the pure joy and love that lives at our core.

In two virtuosic parts, the brilliant and internationally renowned pianist Lucas Debargue reinterprets-and even reimagines-the repertoire of the illustrious American composer George Gershwin in a unique and personal way.The first part of the album, recorded during a memorable evening at the Philharmonie de Paris in September 2025 on Stephen Paulello's unique SP/287 piano, features the famous Three Preludes and Concerto in F, accompanied by the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Elim Chan. Also included: a highly personal version of Rhapsody in Blue, enriched with the pianist's own cadenzas.The second part, recorded at the Paulello Studio, is entirely devoted to twelve virtuosic etudes composed by Lucas from Gershwin's most popular songs, spanning all chromatic keys. This cycle represents the most ambitious creation of his career as a pianist to date, affirming a deep commitment to freedom and invention, while placing itself in the tradition of the great composers who wrote their own etudes. Gershwin's most celebrated works appear reimagined: The Man I Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, Ain't Necessarily So, They Can't Take That Away From Me, I Got Rhythm plus 20 variations on the theme of Summertime!Internationally acclaimed pianist Lucas Debargue's Gershwin Variations stand as an ambitious and unprecedented project, born from the desire to explore a radically different universe after recording Scarlatti sonatas and the complete solo piano works of Faure. This double album is an ode to George Gershwin, an unclassifiable composer standing at the crossroads of classical music and jazz, whose singularity inspired Lucas to create a work equally impossible to categorize.The Gershwin Variations is neither a classical album nor a jazz album, but a hybrid work reflecting the anticonformist spirit and the American dream embodied by Gershwin. Lucas offers a bold and poetic reinterpretation in which counterpoint, shifting harmonies, and unconventional rhythms reveal the richness of Gershwin's melodies. He invites listeners to rediscover a repertoire where popularity is never synonymous with triviality, and where music becomes a space for freedom, daring, and vitality.
