Gillian Welch & David Rawlings – All The Good Times CD (Acony)

The first Gillian Welch & David Rawlings collaboration to feature both of their names, All The Good Times, a collection of ten acoustic covers recorded at home, received a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album. After a devastating tornado ravaged Nashville in the Spring of 2020 making their studio unusable, immediately followed by a global pandemic shutting down their community and touring livelihood, Welch & Rawlings were able to find the inspiration to set up recording equipment in their home living room and record ten performances on their reel-to-reel of some of their favorite songs from the likes of John Prine (“Hello In There”), Bob Dylan (“Abandoned Love”), Norman Blake (“Ginseng Sullivan”), and more. According to Uncut magazine, “The 10-song collection is the equivalent of being welcomed into Welch & Rawlings’ living room and the pair treating you to a private recital. In other words, it doesn’t get much better than this.” [Vinyl edition TBA.]

Chase Atlantic – Beauty In Death CD/LP (Fearless/Concord)

Representing the missing link between anesthetized woozy trap, nocturnal R&B, and psychedelically spun alternative, Chase Atlantic blur boundaries between genres through fearless experimentation and innate melodic inclinations. The Australia-born and Los Angeles-based trio boldly push forward once again on their new album Beauty In Death. The group charges up their next chapter with the lead single “Out The Roof”. “We wanted to come back strong with a song that reflected the chaotic world around us,” the band says. [Limited red color vinyl pressing also available.]

Chevelle – Niratias CD/LP (Epic)

Multi-platinum alternative rockers Chevelle return with their first new music in five years and ninth studio effort overall entitled Niratias. Produced by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age), the follow-up to 2016’s The North Corridor is introduced by the searing science denier focused lead single “Self Destructor” and features striking artwork by Boris Vallejo (Knightriders, National Lampoon’s Vacation, ‘70s and ‘80s science fiction novel covers). Regarding the lyrical direction of the pummeling and provocative Niratias, Pete Loeffler told Blabbermouth: “It has a lot of space to it, a lot of interstellar travel to it. As you’ll see with the cover, it’s sort of space themed as well. I love the idea of the cosmos and I love Carl Sagan and Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson and all these people that look beyond and look to the future. Getting off this planet is part of that future if we can do it. It’s fascinating. It just made its way into the music.”

Brijean – Feelings CD/LP+MP3 (Ghostly International)

“Do you feel what I feel too?” Brijean Murphy floats the question at the start of Feelings, the full-length Ghostly International debut from Brijean, her collaborative project with Doug Stuart. Guided by a lush mix of charismatic keyboard chords, grooving bass lines, and radiant conga-driven rhythms, the “Day Dreaming” lyric doubles as an invitation and a statement of intention. Brijean want you to move, physically, mentally, dimensionally; this is dance music for the mind, body, and soul. With Feelings, they’ve manifested a gentle collective space for respite, for self-reflection, for self-care, for uninhibited imagination and new possibilities. The album cultivates a specific vibe, a softness Murphy has come to call “romancing the psyche.” [Limited color vinyl pressing also available.]

Melvins – Working With God CD/LP (Ipecac)

Working With God is the new studio album from the legendary Melvins featuring their 1983 line-up of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and original drummer Mike Dillard. Released along with new reissues of 2002’s Hostile Ambient Takeover and 1987’s Gluey Porch Treatments, Working With God follows this incarnation of Melvins’ 2013 album Tres Cabrones. One of the band’s most playful and melodic efforts, the 13-track collection is introduced by “I F**k Around”, a juvenile re-imagining of The Beach Boys’ classic “I Get Around” and “Bouncing Rick”, about Osborne and Dillard’s junior-high biology teacher. “It’s reflective of our 8th grade sense of humor, which we’ve never grown out of,” Osborne said of “I Fuck Around.” “We hope Brian Wilson doesn’t get mad.” [A limited indie store exclusive silver color vinyl pressing is available. Vinyl reissues of Gluey Porch Treatments and Hostile Ambient Takeover are also available.]

Architects – For Those That Wish To Exist CD/LP+MP3 (Epitaph)

England-based post-metalcore quintet, Architects release their ninth studio record For Those That Wish To Exist. The self-produced album arrives as the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2018 effort Holy Hell, which took a look at the pain and despair that lay at the heart of losing a brother, bandmate, and best friend in Tom Searle, the group’s founding guitarist. On For Those That Wish To Exist, Architects examine the part we are all playing in the world’s slow destruction, and tackle the biggest questions facing the future of our planet. The record’s 15-tracks hang in a limbo between energizing positivity that it is not too late to correct our collective course, and a paralyzing negativity of defeatism; where hope and despondency are bedfellows triggered daily by the simple act of existence. A reflection of human condition, For Those That Wish To Exist calls for all of us to rise to challenge established models and strive for a collective betterment. [A limited indie store exclusive vinyl pressing is available.]
