AIMS Marketing Program/ Featured Titles Promoted This Week:

Beartooth – The Surface CD/LP (Red Bull)

“Beartooth’s entire discography has been snapshots of my inner monologue and emotional state over the years with a recurring theme, depression, and self-loathing. It’s been tough to understand why I’ve felt the way I do for so long. This album is the story of my beginnings in the new world I’ve created for myself. One focused on health, self-love, positivity, understanding, hard work, and most of all second chances. At the end of the day, life is short for all of us. We can’t escape the end, so why not make friends with it, and live in a world focused on living a personally fulfilling life.” – Caleb Shomo of Beartooth [An indie store exclusive clear w/ red & white splatter color vinyl pressing is available.]

The following decade introduced him to a new group of fans as guitarist for The Blues Brothers, appearing on both their records and film. A two-time Grammy winner and rRock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Cropper has been an integral thread in the cloth of American music, writing, playing, and producing into the 21st century to this very day. In 1969, Cropper released his first solo album, producing and arranging its eleven tracks himself. From original tracks to its well-known covers (including The Beatles classic the release shares its name with), it is a tour de force of pure Memphis rock and soul.

Holly Humberstone – Paint My Bedroom Black CD/LP (Polydor/Darkroom/Geffen)

Critically acclaimed and award-winning singer songwriter Holly Humberstone releases her highly anticipated debut album Paint MyBedroom Black on. Always inspired by her environment and how that affects her sense of self and identity, from her parent’s “Haunted House” to flat shares in London with “The Walls Are Way To Thin”, Paint My Bedroom Black represents Holly’s coming of age, growing from unknown singer at her parent’s piano to the most exciting alternative pop stars of her generation. The dark and other worldly space Holly has built and invited fans into, both sonically and visually, has been lucid and visceral, with the camera always on her shoulder, a lens into her chaotic thoughts and deep feelings. [An indie store exclusive purple/pink marbled color vinyl pressing with alternate cover is available.]

Husbands – Cuatro CD/LP (Cowboy 2.0)

Danny Davis knows the galvanizing power of an anthemic, hair-raising song. As the co-founding songwriter behind the long-running Oklahoma City indie rock outfit Husbands, he’s been meticulously crafting breezy and emotionally potent tunes about finding your place in the world. His writing always strives to break free from monotony and routine, aiming for meaning and clarity through massive choruses and colorful arrangements. Cuatro, Husbands’ adventurous and triumphant fourth album, marks a turning point for Davis. It’s the first LP he’s released without his longtime bandmate, collaborator, and close friend Wil Norton. Across 11 arena-filling and richly produced tracks, the full-length is a document of his growth as a human being and a testament to finding peace in relationships evolving.

Live In London is that album.

Maple Glider – I Get Into Trouble CD/LP (Pie Eater)

For Tori Zietsch, who records under the moniker Maple Glider, music has been an escape from a series of oppressive institutions: religion, enervating relationships, her own brain. On I Get Into Trouble, she embraces the opportunity to be plainly and painfully honest. The album is a thematic expansion of her debut, going into greater and clearer detail, as she delves back into her Christian childhood while deconstructing her relationship to her body and her sexuality, alongside concepts of consent and shame. Throughout the songs, she draws similar parallels between religion and sexuality in novelistic detail, before landing on a note of hopeful optimism, and embracing a new life of peacefulness. She deftly combines the infectious folk-pop hooks of her debut with a sense of scale and scope. It’s tight in all the right places, free form, wily and compositionally eclectic, playful, and erratic in others. [A limited-edition pink color vinyl pressing is available.]

Metric – Formentera II CD/LP (Metric Music International, Inc.)

Metric’s relentless pursuit of timeless songwriting and fiercely independent ethos have cemented their place as one of the most essential and ahead-of-the-curve bands of the last two decades. By constantly upping themselves across nine unpredictable and adventurous studio albums, the trailblazing Toronto outfit founded by songwriting and production partners Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw along with bandmates Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott Key is proof that you can amass an untouchable catalog without ever signing to a major label or changing your lineup. Formentera II is a testament to their singular purpose. It stands among their best and most genre-defying works and closes the 18-song cycle started by 2022’s critically acclaimed Formentera. [An indie store exclusive CD and indie store exclusive translucent pink color vinyl pressing are available.]

Troye Sivan – Something To Give Each Other CD/LP (Capitol)

Troye Sivan’s third studio album, Something To Give Each Other, is a celebration of sex, dance, sweat, community, queerness, love and friendship. Emerging from the tribulations of the last few years, Sivan found himself rewiring with the joy of human connection and dance music. He wrote the songs for the new album with Oscar Görres (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Sam Smith), Ian Kirkpatrick (Dua Lipa, Britney Spears) AG Cook (Charli XCX, Beyonce) and Styalz Fuego (Khalid, Imagine Dragons).

Vanishing Twin – Afternoon X CD/LP+MP3 (Fire)

Vanishing Twin further their exploration of decidedly experimental territories with Afternoon X. Crafted with a playful balance of humor and rigor, with each member embracing the role of the multi-instrumentalist and process, over outcome. Following a series of line-up changes, Vanishing Twin is now the tightly honed collective of singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti (Holy Tongue, Tomaga, Moin) and bassist Susumu Mukai (Zongamin). Harnessing the diverse touchstones of its members; Lucas’ left-field song-craft, Magaletti’s singular approaches to experimental percussion, and Mukai’s long history in the production of electronic music, the band has refined a hypnotic sound at the juncture of minimalism, kosmische, post-punk, and dream-laden, psychedelic pop.

His unorthodox approach adds a touch of playfulness to the Mozart & Gershwin pieces performed while upholding Corea’s obvious reverence for their music.

Creeper – Sanguivore CD/LP (Spinefarm)

For Sanguivore, Creeper made a blood pact to give full rein to the things that define them, taking a torch to the more dimly lit recesses of frontman Will Gould’s ever-fertile mind. The result is 40 plus minutes combining the grandiose and epic with the punk rock spirit that has been a cornerstone of their sound: a ripped leather jacket wrapped in a plush velvet cloak – a cloak lined in red satin, of course. Sanguivore is a hugely ambitious, loosely conceptual journey through the glorious and the graphic. [A limited-edition red colorway is available.]

The Brazilian composer, pianist and producer, Mário Castro Neves and his group, Samba S.A.’s self-titled album from 1967 is oozing with class. It possesses the archetypal ‘60s bossa nova, jazz, samba sound. We’d place it up there with Sergio Mendes at his finest, Tambo Trio or Milton Banana.

Onyon – Last Days On Earth CD/LP (Trouble In Mind)

New release from the German post-punk band. The oddball, synth-soaked world of Onyon is disorienting at first – the band’s herky-jerky rhythms may operate in a familiar fashion to bands like Devo, or LITHICS, but Maria Untheim’s woozy synth squiggles populate & punctuate the band’s songs, flirting with the primitive cool of ‘80s minimal-synth and the wire-haired cretinism of ‘60s garage.

She played many of the instruments herself, with additional contributions from drummer Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), guitarists Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen) + Jake Lenderman (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman), and bassist Dave Hartley (The War On Drugs).

Bay Ledges – Ritual LP (Nettwerk)

Sky blue colorway. Bay Ledges is Maine-based musician born Zach Hurd. He makes songs that are bright and inquisitive, unusual in their beauty and playful in their very nature.

The Breath – Land Of My Other LP (Real World)

Ríoghnach Connolly and Stuart McCallum are the creative heart of The Breath, and for them, it’s all about the song. Connolly writes the only way she knows how; a stream of poetic consciousness giving rise to honest, personal, heartfelt songs as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices and grief. But it’s her deeply soulful, utterly engaging, stop-you-in-your-tracks voice – whether delicate and hushed or powerful and gutsy – coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance and their exquisitely crafted songs, that give The Breath such emotional depth.

Apollo Brown & Planet Asia – Anchovies LP (Mello Music)

Classic hip-hop meets minimalism and dusty vinyl on Anchovies. Cali Agents alum Planet Asia is as sharp as ever with his lyrical smithing.

Caskets’ sound builds around Matt’s dynamic vocals, honed through a range of previous musical endeavors, and perfectly complimenting the band’s mastery of heavy and soft. But it’s their forward-thinking attitude that better aligns both bands, Matt’s vocal hero paving a new path for melody and metal, and Caskets now set to further reinvent expectations of metalcore and post-hardcore.

Lydia Lunch – Queen Of Siam [Reissue/1980] LP (Radiation Reissues)

Limited color vinyl pressing. After the demise of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Lydia Lunch launched her solo career with Queen Of Siam, arguably her greatest LP. In true No Wave style, the album is a mishmash of irritants, but her palette is far broader here, lurching from slow dirges, excessive feminist exhortations, and raucous personal purges to a touch of disco and lounge music exoticism, as conjured by Voidoids/Lou Reed guitarist Robert Quine, Contortions bassist Jack Ruby, and John Cale’s drummer, Douglas Browne. Spirited, surprisingly broad and defiantly dissonant, Queen Of Siam’s dense layers were designed to provoke and inflame; listen closely to fully decode.

Masters At Work – Boyd’s Jam 12” (MAW)

Masters At Work – Funky Anané / MAW Want You 12” MAW)

This release entails the story of a special studio session by one of the NY house pioneers who brought you “The Music’s Got Me” by Visual along with his partner Timmy Regisford back in 1982. His name is Boyd Jarvis (RIP), a keyboard genius, also one of the early creators of this unique sound. Masters At Work had only a few rare sessions in the early ‘90s with Boyd and the outcome are some of these stunning outtakes on ‘Boyd’s Jam’ produced by MAW. Meanwhile, Funky Anané brings forth the genius Kenny Dope layered, thick beats, syncopated snares, with thumpin’ kicks and snaps to compliment the Louie Vega walking bassline and deep organ / clarinet sounds playing chords. From the archives we pulled this track out noticing the new parts never heard along with the vocal sample which was actually Anané s first time in the studio with Masters At Work behind the mic back in 1996.

Masters At Work – The Ha Drop 7” (MAW)

Meat Beat Manifesto – Satyricon [Reissue/1992] LP (PIAS America)

Meat Beat Manifesto – Subliminal Sandwich [Reissue/1996] 2xLP (PIAS America)

A Meat Beat Manifesto album is a special thing since it usually manages to encompass the styles of other acts while still having a distinct voice of its own. Satyricon features the sample-trippy goofiness of the Orb, the sharp, rock-flavored house of the Chemical Brothers, the streamlined trance of Orbital, and the well-oiled angst of Nine Inch Nails, and that’s just for starters. Long-term frontman Jack Dangers truly has a producer’s ear, which gives his blend of dance music a considerable advantage: he takes a musician’s approach into a programmer’s territory, and his use of vocals upgrades a song’s impact rather than diminishes it. That said, 1996’s Subliminal Sandwich is an underrated classic of mid- ‘90s big beat/EBM.

Menlou – Mooshine (7” Edits) 7” (MAW)

The original 1995 house track produced by Louie Vega & Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez received newly updated remixes by the resurrected Masters At Work that were released on 12” vinyl in early 2023. This 7” release features a pair of 7” edits of those Masters At Work remixes.

Morella’s Forest – Morella’s Forest LP (Lost In Ohio)

Morella’s Forest was a different band in 1996. After writing and recording their debut the year before (the fuzzed-out shoegaze classic Super Deluxe), MoFo hit the road, touring with Starflyer 59, and playing the summer festival circuit. They returned home to Dayton tighter than ever and with a distinct musical identity, reflected in the eleven songs that would become their sophomore release Ultraphonic Hiss. The band headed to Chicago’s Playground Studio to record with Keith Cleversley (known for his work with The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and HUM), whose influence can be heard clearly. Gone are the extended bouts of feedback and layers of distorted guitar, traded instead for a collection of ’90s indie pop gems, wrapped in dreamy guitar reverberations and topped with Sydney’s lilting vocals. The music press took note of Morella’s Forest’s refined sound (and candy-themed song titles), with College Music Journal calling the album “awfully hard to resist” while Dayton Voice was hypnotized.

Munya – Jardin LP (Luminelle Recordings)

Gregory Porter – Liquid Spirit [Reissue/2013] 3xLP (Blue Note)

After two solid albums for Motema Music (which both earned Grammy nominations), Gregory Porter made his Blue Note debut with Liquid Spirit in 2013.

This 10^th anniversary edition includes a bonus LP of extra tracks and remixes, with five tracks on vinyl for the first time.

Slint – Spiderland [Reissue/1991] LP (Touch And Go)

Dark blue colorway. Produced by Brian Paulson at River North Recorders in Chicago and released by Touch And Go Records in April of 1991, the six songs on Spiderland methodically mapped a shadowy new continent of sound. The music is taut, menacing, and haunting; its structure built largely on absence and restraint, on the echoing space between the notes, but punctuated by sudden thrilling blasts of unfettered fury. It is a sound that no one had heard before and that no one will ever forget. The eerie, now-iconic black and white cover photo of the four-band member’s heads breaking the surface of the water was taken by their friend Will Oldham.

Snog – Lies Inc. [Reissue/1993] 2xLP (Metropolis)

30 years ago, Snog’s Lies Inc. album changed the face of industrial and electronic music forever. Satirical, sarcastic, nihilistic, darkly humorous and yet all too human, global hits like “Corporate Slave”, “Shop” and “Born To Be Mild” presented humanity in the blackest of velvet black mirrors. Originally released in Germany in 1992 on the Machinery label (and in the US and Australia in 1993), “Corporate Slave” would become a global alternative dancefloor phenomenon and the “Shop” remixes ironic chart hits on three continents. Snog has carved their own uniquely and charmingly dystopian career since, with recent albums Lullabies For The Lithium Age and Eight Offerings For the Undead being obvious highlights.

The Sound – Larger Than Life: Live At Paradiso, Amsterdam, March 8th 1981 – FM Broadcast

CD/LP (Dear Boss)

Although they released six albums in their lifetime, The Sound, who formed in early 1979 and broke up in late 1987, were undervalued in their own country, always attracting only a small audience. 200 miles away from their native South London and across the North Sea in the Netherlands, The Sound, however, had a fanatical following, regularly filling out 2000 capacity venues and at one point in the early ’80s outselling both U2 and Echo and The Bunnymen there. This performance was recorded at the Amsterdam Paradiso on the March 8^th, 1981, on the last night of the band’s four-date first Dutch tour. [A limited-edition yellow color vinyl pressing is available.]

Stove God Cooks – Reasonable Drought [Reissue/2020] LP (Near Mint)

Syracuse-bred rapper Stove God Cooks is among the leading voices of hip-hop’s gritty, lyrically inclined resurgence, earning him critical and fan acclaim. Stove God Cooks has become a fixture on respected tastemakers’ radars. Having earned a feature on Westside Gunn’s 2019 Flygod Is An Awesome God 2 project, Cooks’ allure in this modern-nostalgic sound was further realized upon collaborating with Roc Marciano on their standout album, Reasonable Drought. The joint effort has received unanimous praise, landing a spot-on Complex’s coveted 2020 year-end best albums list. Cooks was also named one of Billboard’s top-15 2021 hip-hop and R&B artists-to-watch. [A deluxe color vinyl pressing is available.]

Recently released on CD – now available on red transparent w/ white swirl color vinyl. John P. Strohm returns with his first new album in 15 years.

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.

Errol Stubbs – Turning It Out [Reissue/1986] LP (Tidal Waves Music)

Armed with little more than his Peavy T-60 guitar and a Jumbo Fuzz pedal, Errol Stubbs and his bar-band cohorts cranked out a self-released tape of funked-up disco soul in 1986. With no label or distribution to speak of, Errol would simply put on his best suit and sell the cassettes by hand. The tape languished into obscurity… until now.

Justin Walter – Destroyer LP (Kranky)

Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. The music of Justin Walter veers between nebulous and numinous, coaxed from the translucent tonalities of his signature instrument, the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). Destroyer, his latest, and third for Kranky, marks his most multifaceted work yet. Inspired by minimalistic urges (evading grandiosity, condensing scope, embracing spatial restraint) tempered with the drama of triptychs (becoming, destruction, aftermath), the album’s eleven tracks thread a keening suite of aching, opaque beauty, traced in absence and breath.
