40 years ago, Prince shattered all expectations and made music history when he released the album Purple Rain, followed by the hit movie of the same name weeks later. The 9-track LP went on to win two Grammy awards ("Best Rock Performance by a Group" & "Best Album of Original Score Written For A Motion Picture"), two American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.
To celebrate the landmark album’s 40th anniversary, NPG Records is pleased to present Prince’s own 2015 Paisley Park Remaster on 140g Purple Splatter vinyl, in a mirrorboard sleeve with the original inner sleeve and poster.

The never-ending psychedelic web of Kurt Wagner's Lambchop continues to unravel on September 30th with a new album titled The Bible.
The story of The Bible begins with Wagner up in the middle of the night during the first year of the plague, watching his new friend from Minneapolis, Andrew Broder, play a Wurlitzer on Instagram Live. Broder was one in a group of Minneapolis musicians Wagner had met prior to the pandemic through mutual friend Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). After watching the livestream, he called Broder up. “Dude, I’ll get you in a studio,” he says, “you just go in there for like three or four hours and do your thing.” Broder sent him back twelve 20 minute-long pieces. And then Wagner found himself in Minneapolis, in the sweltering summer of 2021, in a decommissioned paint factory turned practice space. Wagner would find an immediate musical spark with Broder & his musical partner Ryan Olson (Gayngs, contributor to Taylor Swift's Evermore). Olson contributes greatly to the album, both with arrangements & production. “Ryan and Andrew, they’re like two sides of my personality,” Wagner says. “And if you put them together as a team, they represent me.” Good thing, because this would be the first time Wagner let somebody else—people who weren’t even from Nashville—produce a Lambchop record.
The music on The Bible is more unpredictable than it’s ever been on a Lambchop record. Jazz careening into country, into disco, into funk, and back to country. All tied together with Wagner’s own voice, born from a perspective on his own life inspired by taking care of his father at the end of his life. The sounds all jumbled together with snatches of observations, words torn from the headlines in Minneapolis—bumper stickers on the freeway, or graffiti from outside that decommissioned paint factory. Through the weeks, musicians (local & non-local) would come & go, putting their own thumbprints on this bible. Perhaps most strikingly, contributions from two different vocal choirs (Bells of the Lakes & Lutheran Bells) & gorgeous string arrangements courtesy of yMusic co-founder C.J. Camerieri (who has also arranged strings for Sufjan Stevens, Antony & the Johnsons & The National).
Following Wilco’s acclaimed 2023 album Cousin, Wilco revisited unfinished material from these sessions to craft ‘Hot Sun Cool Shroud’. Collaborating again with engineering mixer Tom Schick, the band crafted six tracks that expand on the sound of Cousin. According to Jeff Tweedy, they have “a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling. It starts off pretty hot, like heat during the day, has some instrumentals on it that are a little agitated and uncomfortable, and ends with a cooling breeze.”

Now Hear This! - December 2024
Zach Bryan
The Great American Bar Scene
Warner RecordsBuy Now In barely five years, Zach Bryan has transformed from cult-roots road warrior (2020’s Elisabeth) to fast-rising country-adjacent renegade (2022’s American Heartbreak) to Number One hitmaker and voice-of-a-Gen-Z-generation storyteller (2023’s Zach Bryan). Zach might not offer much that he hasn't already, but his excellent songwriting continues to make it worth it. Silkroad Ensemble & Rhiannon Giddens
American Railroad
NonesuchBuy Now Four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the United States to uncover and uplift the stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and musics that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity. Rose
Rosie
AtlanticBuy Now A twangy, heartbreaker of a country record, and whatever physical anguish Whitney Rose may be in, she sings through it, finds strength and inspiration from it, and delivers in front of a crack group of Austin musicians. It’s like chicken soup for the soul, and Rosie‘s recipe here is especially efficacious. Neal Morse
No Hill For A Climber
Inside Out MusicBuy Now Iconic and prolific composer and musical collaborator in the progressive rock universe, Neal Morse brings a new project to the genre with Neal Morse & The Resonance – uniting local musicians from the Nashville area. It’s a fresh, creative, and entertaining album of classic melodic progressive rock. Ryan Bingham
Live At Red Rocks
Thirty Tigers / The Bingham Recording Co.Buy Now Known for his raw and emotive music, evocative storytelling, and trademark weather-beaten vocals – Bingham’s music defies classification with folk, blues, country and rock ‘n roll all part of the recipe. With Live at Red Rocks, Bingham teams up with The Texas Gentlemen for an electrifying sold out show, continuing his tradition of explosive and emotive live performances. Opeth
The Last Will And Testament
Reigning Phoenix MusicBuy Now Opeth go Miss Marple via Edgar Allen Poe on the prog-death-jazz metal odyssey that is The Last Will And Testament. It’s their most focused, disciplined piece of music to date and their heaviest work in more than 15 years – a fascinating, striving, and endlessly replayable return from the masters of Swedish progressive death metal. Inepsy
Rock ‘N’ Roll Babylon
TankcrimesBuy Now The debut album from Montreal's Mötorcharged Inepsy is a riotous shot of high-octane rock ‘n’ roll, fusing punk’s primal energy with vintage riffage. It's loud, brash, and unrefined in the best possible way, with gritty guitars and a relentless drive that recalls the rebellious spirit of ’70s garage and proto-punk. Infectious and feral. LISTEN HERE LISTEN HERE Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival
Songs For Sinners & Saints
Loma Vista RecordingsBuy Now The Run the Jewels rapper follows up last year’s Grammys-sweeping Michael with an album of soulful rewinds and combative new tracks addressing a tumultuous few months. The curveball third act of Michael Santiago Render’s hip-hop career has been no less surprising, nor exciting, to behold. -

Tori Amos - Diving Deep: Live - Decca
Tori Amos has long been renowned for never playing the same show twice. Now, these unique live performances are captured in a new live album entitled ‘Diving Deep’ recorded across Tori's 2022-2023 Ocean to Ocean tour, which spanned 93 dates around the globe.

Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records
Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley had already been building a formidable Blue Note catalog for more than a decade when he conceived of his unique album A Slice of the Top, which was recorded in 1966 but not first released until 1979 as part of the LT Series. Inspired by Miles Davis’ Birth of the Cool, Mobley collaborated with Duke Pearson who arranged four Mobley originals and the pop standard “There’s a Lull In My Life” for an octet that added Kiane Zawadi’s euphonium and Howard Johnson’s tuba to a group consisting of James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Behold Mobley’s lyrical flights on standout tunes including “Hank’s Other Bag,” “A Touch of Blue,” and “A Slice of the Top.”
Freddie Roach - Good Move LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records
In the 1960s, Blue Note’s roster of organists was second to none with leading Hammond B3 practitioners like Jimmy Smith, Big John Patton, and Larry Young each honing their own distinctive styles on the instrument. Freddie Roach was first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebec’s albums Heavy Soul and It Might As Well Be Spring and soon began his own run of leader dates for the label including the 1963 standout Good Move featuring Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Eddie Wright on guitar, and Clarence Johnston on drums. This soul jazz classic makes all the right moves with set highlights including “When Malindy Sings,” an Oscar Brown song that was performed by Abbey Lincoln, and Roach’s own church-rooted “Wine, Wine, Wine” and “On Our Way Up,” an uplifting anthem that he wrote on the day of the historic March on Washington.

New Release Round-Up 11-29-24
Still Listening To...
Grant Green - Idle Moments - Blue Note Records
Grant Green - "Idle Moments" [Blue LP] Time and troubles seem to melt away during the fifteen enrapturing minutes of "Idle Moments," the opening track of Grant Green's sublime 1963 album of the same name. As the piece unhurriedly unfurls, all the unique colors of the ensemble present themselves with Green's soulful guitar joined by Duke Pearson's elegant piano, Bobby Hutcherson's crystalline vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw's reassuring upright bass, Al Harewood's subtle drums and Joe Henderson's magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest of this tremendous set, including the nimble Green original "Jean de Fleur," a bluesy take on John Lewis' MJQ standard "Django," and a driving performance of Pearson's original, "Nomad." Indie Exclusive Blue 180gram LP. Limited Edition.
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage - Blue Note Records
Herbie Hancock -"Maiden Voyage" [Blue LP] Even by the high-water marks set by Herbie Hancock's tremendous 1960s output for Blue Note, 1965's Maiden Voyage remains one of the pinnacle artistic achievements of the great pianist's career. Hancock is joined by his Miles David Quintet bandmates, Ron Carter (bass), Tony Williams (drums), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) and George Coleman (tenor saxophone). The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of five original Hancock compositions, several of which have since become enduring standards of the jazz lexicon, including "Eye of the Hurricane," "Dolphin Dance" and the title track. Indie Exclusive 180gram Blue LP. Limited Edition.
