AIMS Marketing Program/ Featured Titles Promoted This Week:

Asinhell – Impii Hora CD/LP (Metal Blade)

Impii Hora is the debut album from Danish musician Michael Poulsen, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter of the rock band Volbeat. When Poulsen was putting together songs for Volbeat’s 2021 album, Servant Of The Mind, he wrote a bunch of death metal riffs which inspired his new death/black metal band Asinhell whose debut album Impii Hora (Latin for Ungodly Hour) is a tribute to Poulsen’s favorite old-school groups. The songs are rooted in crushing riffs yet injected with strong guitar hooks and shout-along refrains. [A limited-edition silver color vinyl pressing is available.]

Victor Axelrod – If You Ask Me To… CD/LP+MP3 (Yep Roc)

If you’re a fan of Daptone Records, chances are you’ve read or heard the name Victor Axelrod, and even if you haven’t, you’ve heard music from his hand. As a producer, arranger, recording and mixing engineer, and keyboardist, his creativity has extended across more than two decades of the label’s releases, even dating to its prehistory with Desco Records. Featuring previously unreleased tracks by Sugar Minott and Binky Griptite, If You Ask Me To (the first LP under his name for the label) is a collection of singles released 2007-2023. [An indie store exclusive translucent red w/ black swirl color vinyl pressing is available.]

Blonde Redhead – Sit Down For Dinner CD/LP (section1)

Blonde Redhead return with Sit Down For Dinner, their first album in nine years. Its title is a nod to the often-sacred communal ritual of sharing a meal with those you love. This immersive, meticulously crafted record appropriately serves an expression of persistent togetherness — a testament to the unique internal logic Blonde Redhead have refined over their three-decade existence. Understated yet visceral melodies charge each song, creating a foil to lyrics about the inescapable struggles of adulthood: communication breakdown in enduring relationships, wondering which way to turn, holding onto your dreams. [A limited-edition opaque white color vinyl pressing is available.]

Charley Crockett – Live From The Ryman CD/2xLP (Son Of Davy)

Charley Crockett’s latest full-length studio album The Man From Waco saw the TX-based singer/songwriter reach new heights in both his artistic expression as well as his public recognition. On Nov 14th, 2022, Charley headed to Nashville, TN for his debut (and sold-out) concert at the historic Nashville venue the Ryman Auditorium. These recordings capture the live energy and raw talent of the – of one of modern music’s best – performers. [An indie store exclusive green & yellow or purple & red (random) color vinyl pressing is available.]

Dio – Dio: Dreamers Never Die DVD/Blu-ray/DVD+Blu-ray (Mercury Studios)

Dreamers Never Die is a documentary of legendary metal icon Ronnie James Dio. Transcending the standard rock documentary and beautifully highlighting both his powerful voice and his gentle heart, Dio: Dreamers Never Die delves deep into the singer’s incredible rise from ’50s crooner to his early rock days in Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow to replacing Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath – and finally cementing his rock star status with Dio. Includes 20 minutes of bonus interviews. [The deluxe DVD + Blu-ray set is packaged in a lift-off box and includes Dio-branded trading cards, guitar picks, label pin, coasters, and a fold-out poster from the film.]

Frightwig – We Need To Talk CD/LP (Label 51 Recordings)

[October 20?] Pioneering feminist punk band Frightwig has returned with their latest album, We Need to Talk…, plus a special bonus 7″ single dedicated to their late but forever-present drummer Cecilia Kuhn who transcended this earthly plane in 2017. Since forming in San Francisco in 1983, Frightwig has had two objectives: Spread joy and smash the patriarchy. For 40 years, they’ve succeeded on both fronts with a mix of in-your-face hardcore energy and a fearless activist spirit. A formative influence on the Riot Grrrl movement and beyond, the band embraces fellow freaks, sinners, and misfits – and the coven of Frightwig devotees has only grown larger and stronger with time.” – Jeanne Fury, writer and coauthor of Fallopian Rhapsody: The Story Of The Lunachicks (Hachette Books, 2021)

Harm’s Way – Common Suffering CD/LP (Metal Blade)

Since 2006, Harm’s Way has evolved from whispered underground favorites to favorite sons with an arsenal of songs that helped shape heavy music’s trajectory–creating a roadmap for legions of copycats interested in “reinventing” themselves. But there is only one Harm’s Way. One that has never stayed complacent and constantly morphed shape – absorbing and reapplying influences in new and creative ways to create some of the most well-executed songs in heavy music. And yet, considering the changeling that they and their previous efforts are, Common Suffering is easily the most musically diverse undertaking in their catalog; an album that shifts the paradigm for heavy music. A modern classic in wait. [A limited-edition grey black/white marble color vinyl pressing is available.]

Jason Isbell – Southeastern [Reissue/2013] 3xCD/LP (Southeastern)

Jason Isbell’s songs are filled with ghosts. They’re haunted by spirits both welcome and unwelcome, by the personal and historical legacies that make us who we are. Nowhere Is this more evident than on his 2013 breakthrough album Southeastern. Isbell offers confessions, reflections, and promises that confront and make communion with those who have come before and remain with us still. Its twelve tracks represent an extended meditation on the concept articulated by another celebrated Southern storyteller, author William Faulkner: “The past is never dead. It isn’t even past.” [The triple-CD set features updated artwork, a booklet with unreleased photos/lyrics, the original album (remastered) plus demos and live versions of each album track. An indie store exclusive (single disc) transparent clearwater blue color vinyl pressing is available.]

Koyo – Would You Miss It? CD/LP (Pure Noise)

Would You Miss It? is the kind of album that could only be made by a group of self-proclaimed genre-obsessives. It’s why Koyo can seamlessly transition from playing the This Is Hardcore festival to opening for Bayside, because they make perfect sense no matter what bill they’re on. Taken in full, Would You Miss It? is the coming-of-age tale of five friends joining together to take on the world. Fueled by a love for music, and a shared creative bond, Koyo sets the bar for the new wave of Long Island bands. As Chiaramonte notes on “Anthem,” a lyrical love letter to Long Island scenes of the past, present, and future, “the best is yet to come.” Features guest spots from Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife), Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw / Head Automatica), and Anthony DiDio (Vein. FM). [An indie store exclusive maroon/milky clear pinwheel color vinyl pressing is available.]

LP – Love Lines CD/LP (BMG)

Love Lines, the highly anticipated latest studio album from multi-platinum singer-songwriter LP, follows 2021’s captivating album Churches. Love Lines sees LP continue to capture the complexity of the human experience through their eyes. The album features twelve tracks that offer a deep and reflective look into LP’s life experiences, including their relationships with romantic partners, family, and self, encapsulating LP’s unmistakable voice, honest storytelling, and unabashed rock ‘n’ roll combined with heartfelt, unforgettable emotion. [An indie store exclusive vinyl pressing is available.]

No-No Boy – Empire Electric CD/LP (Smithsonian Folkaways)

There are seemingly infinite layers of meaning to be found in No-No Boy’s third album, Empire Electric. You can listen closely to singer-songwriter Julian Saporiti’s lyrics, which juxtapose true stories of struggle from throughout Asia and its diaspora with Saporiti’s own reckoning with intergenerational trauma. You could also let the majesty of Saporiti’s songcraft wash over you, his captivating melodies cloaking those themes in a veneer of hope and ecstasy. But the deepest storytelling happens at the sonic level, as sounds drawn from across the Eastern hemisphere mingle freely with distinctly American instrumentation – banjo and koto, lap-steel and guzheng – while electronically manipulated field recordings of rushing water, chirping birds and other natural sounds ground us in the now. Adventurous and affecting, Empire Electric offers a vision for a new kind of folk music, one that tells unorthodox stories through unorthodox means and finds new pathways through our tangled roots.

Oliver Tree – Alone In A Crowd CD/LP (Atlantic)

Meet the collaborative songwriting effort of two brothers. Currently based out of New Orleans and Madison, Ben and Scott Cunningham grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. They love alt-country, the key of G, acoustic guitars, fishing, Jesus, and the world he created. For 15 years and running, together they write and record songs about these things, calling this effort The Olive Tree. [Several vinyl colorways are available, including red w/ blue & black and indie store exclusive translucent red.]

Primordial – How It Ends CD/2xLP (Metal Blade)

Primordial have nothing to prove. 32 years in the business and now returning with their tenth devastating full-length, the Irish band make it clear they are a primal force that consistently lays “it” all on the line. The follow up to 2018’s Exile Amongst The Ruins, How It Ends finds Primordial delivering another helping of their seminal blend of Celtic and black metal. [A limited-edition ochre marbled color vinyl pressing is available.]

Ed Sheeran – Autumn Variations CD/LP (Atlantic)

“Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head, or imploded,” says Ed Sheeran. “When I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on, and when I learned about my friend’s different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time. There were highs of falling in love and new friendships among lows of heartbreak, depression, loneliness, and confusion. My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed Enigma Variations, where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album.” [A limited-edition white color vinyl pressing is available.]

Slow Pulp – Yard CD/LP+MP3 (ANTI-)

On Yard, Wisconsin-bred, Chicago-based four-piece Slow Pulp nestles comfortably into pockets of nuance, impressions, contradictions – sonics and lyrics finessed together to bottle the specific tension of a feeling you’ve never quite been able to find the right words for. In that regard, listening to Slow Pulp can feel like being in a room with someone who’s known you so long that they can read your every micro-expression and pinpoint exactly how you’re feeling before you can. Perhaps this spawns from the band’s own shared history and chemistry; in various ways, the four of them grew up – and are still growing up – together. The dreamy songs of the Midwest indie rock outfit draw on moody shoegaze, hooky grunge, and intimate lo-fi fare. [A limited-edition translucent blue color viny pressing is available.]

Jorja Smith – Falling Or Flying CD/LP/Cassette (Famm Limited)

Double Brits Awards Winner and Grammy/Mercury Prize nominee Jorja Smith returns with her second album. On Falling Or Flying Smith embarks on an adventure of sounds and thrills. It’s smooth, it’s pop and soulful and sure to be one of the best albums of this year. Sonically, Falling Or Flying, a no-skips body of work, isn’t like anything you’ve heard before. It sits masterfully in this same space of excitement, self-exploration, and self-assertion that Jorja does. Compromised of deep, thumping drums, racing basslines, irresistible hooks, and distinctive beats, Falling Or Flying runs at the same pace that Jorja’s mind does. Of the many British voices in music today, Jorja is among the most commanding, writing at a pitch of intensity and urgency that few can match. [An indie store exclusive vinyl pressing is available.]

John P. Strohm – Something To Look Forward To CD (Propeller Sound Recordings)

John P. Strohm returns with his first new album in 15 years. Something To Look Forward To is an album shaped by life-altering loss and a renewed devotion to the sometimes-transcendent work of songwriting. This album is an evolution of the potent songcraft shown in Strohm’s past work—including his role as co-founder of the seminal college-rock band Blake Babies and indie-rock acts Antenna and Lemonheads. [Vinyl version – including a red transparent w/ white swirl colorway – due October 13.]

Wilco – Cousin CD/LP (dBpm/Legacy)

Wilco’s thirteenth studio album, Cousin, was recorded in the band’s legendary Chicago studio – The Loft – over a period of two years. The ten new tracks are written by band leader Jeff Tweedy and feature musical performances by the longtime lineup of Nels Cline, Mikael Jorgensen, Glenn Kotche, John Stirratt, Pat Sansone and, of course, Tweedy on lead vocals. After a short detour back into their country-influenced roots via last year’s Cruel Country double album, Cousin sees Wilco back in their more familiar progressive and experimental rock territory. Tweedy’s singular songwriting voice is in full evidence, with lyrics weaving across a variety of topics – from the iconoclastic to the introspective. Adding a unique and new element to the recording process was the attachment of Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon as producer – the first time an outsider has been actively involved in a Wilco recording session for more than ten years, since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Additional Social Media Program Titles:

Dan Auerbach – Keep It Hid CD/LP/Cassette (Easy Eye Sound)

Dan Auerbach, singer and guitarist in the Black Keys, releases his extraordinary debut solo album Keep It Hid. We’ve always known Dan to be a top-drawer bluesman and guitar virtuoso, but on Keep It Hid he reveals himself to be a songwriter of exceptional range and versatility – now extending his work to include psychedelia, soul music, gospel, and country harmonies as well as the usual future blues-rock classics. [An indie store exclusive vinyl colorway and an indie store exclusive cassette edition are available.]

Pachyman – Switched-On LP (ATO)

While conceptualizing Switched-On, Pachyman gravitated to Lovers Rock-era reggae and the iconic Studio One. Yet the album also pays homage to the era where musicians began manipulating synthesizers for gloriously off-kilter bleeps and bloops. His evolution emerges on “You Looked At Me”, fusing a Krautrock-esque beat with synths reminiscent of Boards Of Canada. Pachy’s sound further expands on “Trago Coqueto”, a cheeky love song crooned through a cocktail’s prism and an ode to his Puerto Rican roots.

Palms – Palms [Reissue/2013] 2xLP (Ipecac)

10^th anniversary vinyl reissue. Two colorways are available: pink and indie store exclusive white. The one and only Palms album featuring Chino Moreno of Deftones/Crosses with members of the band Isis. Features two previously unreleased tracks never before available physically.

Gracie Abrams – Good Riddance [Deluxe Edition] CD (Interscope)

This Deluxe Edition includes four bonus tracks.

Animal Collective – Isn’t It Now? CD/2xLP +MP3 (Domino)

At this point, it is almost impossible to say what makes for a classic Animal Collective album; the standard fluctuates with the weather, your temperament, whatever chemicals may or may not waft through your mind. But from start to finish, first listen to last, Isn’t It Now? absolutely lands as a classic, it’s mix of playfulness and earnestness, glittery pop and tessellated textures seeming to synthesize and update all that has ever made and still makes this band so compelling. It is experienced and wise, energized, and young, the work of four people committed to finding the frontier of a beginner’s mind, together. [An indie store exclusive orange color vinyl pressing is available.]

Boy Named Banjo – Dusk CD (Mercury Nashville)

It’s the first she’s produced since Cherry Glazerr’s garage rock debut, Haxel Princess, released nearly a decade ago when Creevy was a teenager. Creevy describes I Don’t Want You Anymore as a “mature” album, more so in reference to her personal growth than a reflection of the record, which in true Cherry Glazerr fashion is best described as ‘extremely fun’. [A crystal-clear vinyl pressing is available.]

Duster – Stratosphere [Reissue/1998] CD/LP/Cassette (Numero)

Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster’s 1998’s debut Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.” [A limited-edition ‘constellations’ splatter color vinyl pressing is available.]

No Fixed Point In Space, the third full-length album by Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature, takes the palette of sound and themes that were honed on 2021’s Island Of Noise and launches them into an expansive world of openness and vivid technicolor. It’s a music that hasn’t been heard before; as melodic as anything Cooper has produced but framed by rhythms and instrumentation that reflect the chaos, unpredictability and color of the natural world. “With this record,” Cooper explains, “I wanted the music to reflect nature: beginnings and endings, arrivals and departures, process and chance. I wanted the music and the words to feel like roots, branches, mycelium, the intricacies of a dawn chorus, neurons firing, the unknown.”

Metallic Spheres by The Orb and David Gilmour (2010), the guitar and voice of Pink Floyd, has been reimagined and remixed as Metallic Spheres In Colour. Of this rework, producer Youth says “The idea for Metallic Spheres In Colour, was that Alex Paterson (founder of The Orb) could have done more on the first version, and he didn’t really have the opportunity because we had a philosophy of making the music like the Blade Runner soundtrack meets Wish You Were Here. So, I asked him why don’t we remix it and make it like an Orb classic? And in doing that, it’s almost like a completely different album.”

Jeffrey Lee Pierce – The Task Has Overwhelmed Us CD/2xLP (Glitterhouse)

This unique recording has a spacious feel with plenty of room for the players to work out the melodic compositions created by the members of the group. At times the recording creates an almost cinematic space, yet always propelling forward into unexpected territory. No pandering to contemporary tastes at this date or following the trends of the time, this is simply a great example of mature musicians given the freedom to create their own vision and place in time. Saxophonists Frank Foster and Dave Liebman instruments intertwine in a spellbinding way with opportunities to showcase Jones’ incredible virtuosity as a drummer. An album that reveals itself to the listener slowly with new delights every time it’s removed from the jacket. [An indie store exclusive pink colorway is available.]

Charles Mingus – Pre Bird [Reissue/1961] LP (Verve)

This 1960 session falls historically between the astounding late-1959 work Charles Mingus did for Columbia Records and his slimmed-down piano-less quartet that made the classic Mingus at Antibes. Pre Bird and the Columbia material share some common elements, most obviously the large ensemble. Mingus devoted these sessions to his pre-1940s material and other works from the pre-bop era, and two of the best-played works are from Ellington’s pen.

Dora Morelenbaum – Vento de Beirada 12” (Mr Bongo)

Singer-songwriter Dora Morelenbaum is one of the stunning voices at the forefront of Brazil’s exciting new musical wave. Her sublime Vento de Beirada EP takes you on a trip into the sensuous sounds of Dora’s world. On first hearing her music, we were reminded of the transformational moment when we first discovered the Brazilian singer-songwriter, Joyce. The music is completely new to you, yet instantly familiar, like rediscovering a past love.

Mike Moreno Quartet – Standards From Film LP (Criss Cross)

Like a well-wrought character in a Hollywood movie, Standards From Film, guitarist Mike Moreno’s latest album, exists atop a solid, cogent back story. Recorded in December 2021, when the world and New York City – Houston-born Moreno’s home for more than two decades – were no longer on COVID lockdown, it documents the leader’s exhaustive investigations into the provenance of ten iconic standards that, as he puts it, “are the summer jazz workshop tunes” – they say you have to learn these songs if you want to be a jazz musician. You learn them very young or in the beginning days of your journey into this music.

Mae Muller – Sorry I’m Late LP (Capitol)

Recently released on CD – now available on red color vinyl. Rising pop superstar Mae Muller’s anticipated debut album, Sorry I’m Late, is a collection of songs that are deeply personal yet demonstrate her deft ability to celebrate the female experience at large. Mae explores love and loss, dating and relationships with fearless honesty, confronting her own experiences while also capturing the broader frustrations of young women today. While a fierce feminist often informs her songwriting, Mae’s new music exposes a much more vulnerable side.

Using his own catalog as source material, Willie chose songs combining the kind of strong melodies, memorable storylines and tight ensemble-interplay found in traditional bluegrass interpretations of the roots of American folk songs. With Bluegrass, Willie uncovers new truths in his own songs.

Since doing so, he has sold millions of records featuring music reflecting the revolutionary sensibilities of collective upward mobility and self-defense, providing scathing critiques of America’s racial history and social and political machinations.

Soundtrack [Danny Elfman] – The Nightmare Before Christmas [Reissue/1993] 2xLP (Walt Disney)

12″ Zoetrope picture disc displaying art from the film. The soundtrack to the holiday film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, features Danny Elfman, who has scored many of Tim Burton’s imaginative films (Edward Scissorhands, his two Batman films, etc.), is a perfect musical partner for the somewhat macabre director, and never more so than here, where, in fact, Elfman gets not only to write the music but to play the part of the main character.

Steppenwolf – Steppenwolf Live [Reissue/1972] 2xLP (Friday Music)

In the late ‘60s, Steppenwolf embodied that era’s social, political and philosophical restlessness, building an impressive body of edgy, uncompromising rock ‘n’ roll that still retains its emotional resonance to this day. The band kicked off the ’70s with their first live album Steppenwolf Live, a stellar double-LP set recorded at the Santa Monica Civic Center while in tour in support of 1969’s Monster. It captures the band at their absolute pinnacle and serves as the perfect reminder of what a great live band Steppenwolf truly was. Still a fan favorite in the band’s catalog, Steppenwolf Live includes tight takes on Monster cuts like “Draft Resister”, “Power Play”, “From Here To There Eventually,” and the title track to go along with hard hitting versions of cornerstone classics like “Hey Lawdy Mama”, “Magic Carpet Ride”, The Pusher”, and “Born To Be Wild”.

Stomper 98 – Stomper 98 LP (Pirate Press)

Sliver colorway. As one of the premier Oi! bands in Germany, Stomper 98 are regarded as legends of working-class punk rock. It is perhaps bitter irony that it was a workplace accident that left the band’s frontman Sebi with a crushed foot, bedridden for nearly half a year, and needing to learn to walk all over again. Such a traumatic and life-altering event might crush a person’s spirit as much as any bones, but for Sebi, it put life into perspective and fueled his desire to always rise above adversity stronger than ever.

Thank You, I’m Sorry – Growing In Strange Places LP (County Your Lucky Stars)

Orange Crush colorway. Thank You, I’m Sorry is the solo project of frontperson Colleen Dow turned full band. Now joined by guitarist Abe Anderson, drummer Sage Livergood, and bassist Bethany Schreiner, the band crafts incredibly relatable confessionals that everyone can connect with – struggles with love, working a job you hate, or just finding a place in the world. Songs that get to the heart of a young creative’s struggle in a destructive world.

Christopher Tignor – The Art Of Surrender LP (Western Vinyl)

The Art Of Surrender marks a return to life, sown from primal impulses and hard-won emotional truths. Unrestrained melodic rapture soars above a relentless kick drum, speaking a need to move, to dance, to love. The music is as ambitious as its origins are personal. Tignor plays with scales, crafting multi-movement epics alongside one-minute miniatures. The smallest, most fragile violin gestures, where the finger barely touches the string to extract natural harmonics exist side by side with angular, exotic melodies, asymmetric rhythms, and rapid-fire string crossings. On this LP, Tignor digs even more deeply into the violin and its technicolor reimaginings under his electroacoustic treatments.

TV On The Radio – Return To Cookie Mountain [Reissue/2006] LP (Touch & Go)

Orange color vinyl pressing of the second album by the alt-rock band.

Usher – My Way [Reissue/1997] 2xLP (Sony Legacy)

Various Artists – Sad About The Times 2xLP (Anthology Recordings)

Double pink glow colored vinyl pressing. The songs compiled by Mikey Young (Total Control/Eddy Suppression Ring) and Keith Abrahamsson (head of A&R at Anthology Recordings) for Sad About The Times arrived in the wake of the psychedelic ‘60s; after the high-flying idealism had run its course and singer songwriters were ascendant. They all could have been hits – each with a different flavor, all subtly conveying universal emotions that are hard to describe but easy to feel.

Voivod – Dimension Hatröss [Reissue/1988] LP (Noise)

Dimension Hatröss is the fourth studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Voivod. It was released in 1988 on Noise Records and is a concept album which narrates the exploits of Voivod’s mascot cyborg Korgull.

Richard Wright – Wet Dream [Reissue/1978] LP (Rhino/Parlophone)

Recently reissued on CD – a deep blue marble vinyl colorway is now available. Remixed by Steven Wilson, this reissue comes with brand new artwork that was commissioned and art-directed by Gala and Jamie Wright, Richard’s children, and managers of his estate. Upon rediscovering this record, it becomes hugely apparent how much of Richard’s DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinct rhythm patterns, song structure and style of play exudes throughout, shining a light on his unique talent and influence on modern music. When originally released, post Pink Floyd’s Animals (1977) and shortly before The Wall (1979), Wet Dream was largely under-appreciated.

Yellowcard – Ocean Avenue [Reissue/2003] LP (Capitol)

Originally released in 2003, Ocean Avenue is Yellowcard’s fourth studio album and features their breakthrough single of the same name “Ocean Avenue”. The album also includes hit tracks “Way Away” and “Only One”.
