Louis Armstrong – Louis In London CD/LP (Verve)

Louis Armstrong made a greater impact on American popular music than any other single artist before or since. “What A Wonderful World” became his biggest commercial success, first in the UK and decades later in the rest of the world. Armstrong traveled to England to celebrate this unexpected hit and gave his last great performance, which found him looking back at his entire musical career. That performance, recorded at BBC studios in 1968, was miraculously captured in high fidelity audio and video, and we are proud to release this collection for the first time.

Cigarettes After Sex – X’s CD/LP/Cassette (Partisan)

With the release of Cigarettes After Sex’s third album, X’s, the band finally takes center stage as not just one of today’s preeminent indie bands, but as one of the most globally accomplished acts across any genre. Filled with raw, imagistic, sometimes smutty vignettes set to entrancing, slow burn pop songs, bandleader Greg Gonzalez captures every emotion a romantic arc inspires. [A deluxe LP housed in a gatefold jacket printed on silver foil board with exclusive lyric and photo book and in indie store exclusive clear vinyl pressing are available.]

200 Stab Wounds – Manual Manic Procedures CD/LP (Metal Blade)

Cleveland death metal legends-in-waiting 200 Stab Wounds return with Manual Manic Procedures. A superlative sophomore effort that follows their tour de force debut, 2021’s Slave To The Scalpel, the new album Manual Manic Procedures is a brutal slab of old-school death metal with a contemporary edge. Not for the faint-hearted, the record may well be the album that puts classic gore-themed ferocity back into the metal community’s collective consciousness. [A red olor vinyl pressing is available.]

Omar Apollo – God Said No CD/LP/Cassette (WB)

Traversing the bounds of genre and language in his songs, singer-songwriter Grammynominated Omar Apollo captures the adventurous spirit that this multi-hyphenate moment in pop demands, returning with his highly anticipated sophomore album, God Said No. God Said No is Omar’s interpretation of “lo que sera, sera” which translates to “whatever will be, will be”. The phrase embodies the album with Omar’s tongue-in-cheek humorous outlook on the suffering that comes from surrendering and accepting whatever is thrown at you by life, a relationship, or lover. Omar believes his natural state is longing for love or stability, and elements of the album are about surrendering to that. [Multiple vinyl colorways are available, including indie store exclusive gold.]

Wade Bowen – Flyin CD/LP (Bowen Sounds)

“More than ever, people need to hear songwriters talk about their lives. We don’t always have to search for monster hits. We can just write about our lives and maybe that might actually work. That’s what this record is a lot of. A lot of massive songs, but also a lot of me just writing authentically and honestly about my life. Flyin symbolizes the next phase of my career. I feel like I’m flying into this chapter where I’m the best version of myself that I’ve ever been. Y’all better catch up or you’re getting left behind. I’m on fire!”
