Electric Fetus

• Now Hear This! – October 2023

  Wilco Cousin Legacy Buy Now Cousin sees Wilco back in their more familiar progressive and experimental rock territory. Tweedy’s singular songwriting is in full evidence, with lyrics weaving across a variety of topics – from the iconoclastic to the introspective. Adding a new element to the recording process was the attachment of Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon as producer. Various/Nanci Griffith More Than A Whisper: Celebrating... Rounder Buy Now An all-star tribute to the legacy of the GRAMMY award-winning singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Featuring Brandy Clark, Shawn Colvin, Iris Dement, Steve Earle, Mary Gauthier, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Todd Snider, Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, and The War And Treaty covering some of Griffith’s most notable releases. L'Rain I Killed Your Dog Mexican Summer Buy Now L’Rain takes the universal pop theme of love and inspects it through the form of a conversation – bold, bratty and even a touch diabolical – with her younger self. I Killed Your Dog considers what it means to hurt the people you love the most, and untangles her relationship with femininity and the formal musical conventions that others have placed on her. Haim Days Are Gone: 10th Anniversary Legacy Buy Now Featuring the six singles, ‘Forever’, ‘Don’t Save Me’, ‘Falling’, ‘The Wire’, ‘If I Could Change Your Mind’ & ‘My Song 5’, Days Are Gone hasn’t been reissued since its release in 2013. Housed in an entirely new package, the album features a track list compiled by the band of their favorite demos and remixes on transparent green vinyl. Susan Tedeschi Just Won’t Burn Fantasy Buy Now The GRAMMY award-winning singer/songwriter has established her as one of the significant roots rock musicians of her generation. Hailing from Boston, Tedeschi made her mark on the national stage during the late 1990s with her debut album, Just Won't Burn. In 2023 we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album that started it all. Jorja Smith Falling or Flying Famm Limited Buy Now An undeniable modern classic, effortlessly condensing any number of disparate styles and genres into music which thrillingly broaches any gap between Jazz, Soul, R&B and Funky House. A bold, brave and courageous leap forward, Falling or Flying speaks to the musical and emotional era where Jorja is now, and how she got here. Ice Nine Kills The Silver Scream Fearless Buy Now Devilishly fun, appropriately campy, and indulgently satisfying for fans of both heavy music and scary movies, The Silver Scream expertly combines Ice Nine Kills' passionate execution with a dark sense of humor and love of pop culture on their strongest, most melodic, and enjoyable effort to date. Teddy Swims I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) Warner Records Buy Now Reigning from Atlanta, GA, vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims masterfully blends genres from pop, soul, hip-hop, to R&B. With his soul-stirring voice and heartfelt lyrics, I’ve Tried Everything… delivers an intimate and cathartic experience, delving into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of life. Eric Krasno & Stanton Moore Krasno/Moore Project: Book of Queens Concord Jazz Buy Now Guitarist Eric Krasno (Lettuce, Soulive) and drummer Stanton Moore (Galactic, Garage-a-Trois) showcase songs from some of their favorite female artists including Amy Winehouse, Billie Eilish, H.E.R., Nina Simone and more. Featuring organist Eric Finland with special guests Cory Henry, Branford Marsalis and Robert Randolph. Orions Belte Women Jansen Records Buy Now Orions Belte has been a steady supplier of groovy, catchy and dreamy instrumental pop since their 2018 debut album Mint. From their third studio album , Women, we are served noisy guitar riffs on "Silhouettes", cinematic string arrangements on "I Will Always Miss You", irresistible and catchy summer vibes throughout. A Day To Remember For Those Who Have Heart Craft Buy Now Initially released in 2007, For Those Who Have Heart, A Day To Remember’s first album on Victory Records, saw the band start their rise to the very top of the Warped Tour Metalcore scene. This 10th anniversary release of the record sees the album newly remixed by Adam D, and remastered. Fieh III Jansen Records Buy Now Fieh returns with their third studio album, III, once more leaving an impression by representing the front line of the Norwegian “future soul” scene. Behind groovy compositions catchy beats, writer, Fieh uncovers concerns and deeper questions with their raw and versatile voice - delicate and tender in one moment and domineering in the next. Vagabon Sorry I Haven’t Called Nonesuch Buy Now Across 12 vibrant, transformational and uncompromising tracks she wrote and produced, Lćtia Tamko channels dance music and effervescent pop through her own confident sensibilities. These conservational songs are alive and unselfconscious, a document of an artist fully embracing her vision and reclaiming her joy. Ram Dass The Unimaginable Spirit Voyage Records Buy Now Confronting the loss of his newborn son, Ram Dass walks through the stages of grief and loss in The Unimaginable as he seeks to find solace, peace, and happiness amidst heavy turmoil. Humanity itself is held in this music as the tragedy of mortality is mourned with exquisite and cinematic soundscapes and simple three part vocal harmonies. Genesis Owusu Struggler Ourness Pty Ltd Buy Now Struggler is a concept album about keeping up the fight and the search for meaning in a bonkers world. Musically, the strange collision of experimental post-punk, rap, and R&B that marked Owusu’s earlier work remains in effect but it's a testament to his artistic conviction that he chose to make something even riskier and more complex. Even better, he pulled it off. Jeremy Dutcher Motewolonuwok Secret City Records Buy Now More intimate and expansive than anything Dutcher has created before, Motewolonuwok hedges the line between storytelling and composition as both a transcendental protest record and an exploration of self. This is experimental pop as corrective medicine: a defiant, healing, and queer experience that fills any listener with power and wisdom. Colin Hay Now And The Evermore (More) Deluxe Compass Buy Now The deluxe edition of Hay’s (Men At Work) acclaimed 2022 album, titled Now And The Evermore (More) includes seven unreleased and never beforeheard tracks from the original recording sessions and celebrates life, love, and finding silver linings and reasons to smile through the challenges of recent times. Brian Setzer The Devil Always Collects Surfdog Buy Now The iconic guitarist, songwriter and vocalist returns with his 10th studio album – a red-hot album from start to finish, featuring 11 all-original songs that are full of dynamism and bravado. The album is classic rockabilly at its absolute finest and showcases Setzer at the top of his career. The Orb and David Gilmour Metallic Spheres In Colour Legacy Buy Now 2010’s Metalic Spheres’ (Blade Runner soundtrack meets wish Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here) album gets a fresh coat of sonic paint on this reimagining of the album. Producer Youth’s proposition is to remix it as an “Orb classic”, promising an experience that’s like discovering a brand new album. Hunny Hunny’s New Planet Heaven Epitaph Records Buy Now From the meditative track “my own age” and breakbeat-backed, late ’90s-leaning “all my luck” to the lo-fi punk standout “ring in your ear” (featuring Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Courtney Pierre) and made-for-dashboard-drumming “89cc” (complete with a searing sax solo) the album is a testament to Hunny’s musical fluency and dedication to their craft. Yussef Dayes Black Classical Music Nonesuch Buy Now The first official solo release of the acclaimed UK drummer, Yussef Dayes. Across 19 tracks, Black Classical Music melds the spirit of everything from 70s funk, reggae and Senegalese percussion while simultaneously nodding to furious dancefloor pacings of the soundsystem continuum. Oliver Tree Alone In A Crowd Atlantic Buy Now Alone In A Crowd brings back Tree’s Dadaist, “meta-humor” while continuing to explore and dissect the absurdity of modern culture, obsession with fame and social media. He asks us to reflect both the light and the darkness of human nature within popular culture, while holding a mirror and embracing the absurdity of it all. Pretenders Relentless Parlophone Buy Now Arriving with the impulsiveness and attitude that at once defines the band’s eternal spirit, Relentless is a clearly defined snapshot of where The Pretenders are in 2023. Features a long hoped-for collaboration with the esteemed composer Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile), who provides the string arrangement for the album’s beautiful closing track.

• What's New 9-29-23

  

  Frightwig

  We Need To Talk

  Label 51

  Pioneering feminist punk band Frightwig has returned with their latest album, We Need to Talk and 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.

  

  Dan Auerbach

  Keep It Hid

  Easy Eye Sound

  All-new reissue of the critically acclaimed and long-out-of-print 2009 debut solo album from The Black Keys singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach. An intimate and underrated affair with shades of greazy rock & roll, blue-eyed soul, and bluegrass hollers. Reissued with new artwork and pressed from the original master.

  

  Ed Sheeran

  Autumn Variations

  Atlantic

  “Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes… everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded,” says Sheeran. “When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”

  

  Lindsay Lou

  Queen of Time

  Kill Rock Stars Nashville

  Featuring a gamut of guests including GRAMMY Award-winners Billy Strings and Jerry Douglas, Queen of Time celebrates love and loss, but above all, the art of living as an unattainably-a vibrant, powerful woman who can share herself with the world, and yet define a mighty sense of inner self as well.

  

  The Howdies

  Howdies All Around

  Normaltown Records

  At its heart of The Howdies is a love for the hard scrabble heroes of country music’s early days and the freewheeling feeling of the Outlaw era. The musical styles of Appalachia and the old Blues come together to create a distinctly American art form – where the rules of musical tradition are often bent or even broken with a wink and a smile.

  

  Asinhell

  Impii Hora

  Metal Blade

  What happens when two Danes and a German walk into a studio loaded with HM-2 pedals, a knack for writing hooks as infectious as a rash, and a love of old-school death metal? As supergroup-of-sorts Asinhell reveals: the reinvention of Swedish melodeath in the modern era. Featuring members of Volbeat, Insidious Disease and Morgoth.

  

  Code Orange

  The Above

  Blue Grape Music

  The Above is album number five and feels even more inventive, even more wide-ranging than anything Code Orange have released to date. It’s the work of creators who have a vision and a road-map – all be it off-the-beaten-path – of how to reach that destination. Another triumph and an album that will surrender its secrets slowly.

  

  Harms Way

  Common Suffering

  Metal Blade

  Despite Harm's Way's reputation for unrelenting brutality, Common Suffering surprises at several turns with quieter moments of well thought out songwriting that emphasize light and shade. It's their understanding of how to effectively orchestrate these dynamics that makes an already ironclad record feel infinitely more merciless.

  

  KK’s Priest

  The Sinner Rides Again

  Napalm Records

  On the blazing heels of their highly-lauded 2021 debut album, KK’S Priest return to sin again. Here the powerhouse heavy metal amalgamation of iconic Judas Priest alum and GRAMMY Award winning/nominated musicians K.K. Downing and Tim “Ripper” Owens double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut’s catchy hooks and guitar wizardry.

  

  ‘68

  Yes, And…

  Pure Noise Records

  Revered Atlanta rock 'n' roll duo '68 make their awaited return with their 4th full-length, Yes, and... The latest offering is their hardest rocking record to date, a sonic explosion of heavy riffs and frantic rhythm abound on the band's massively anticipated follow up to 2021's critically acclaimed Give One Take One.

  

  Charley Crockett

  Live From The Ryman

  Son of Davy

  The Man From Waco saw the TX-based singer/songwriter reach dizzying new heights. 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 one of modern music's best live performers.

  

  Jason Isbell

  Southeastern (10th Anniversary)

  Southeastern Records

  Southeastern 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."

  

  Jonas Brothers

  Family Business

  Republic

  The Family Business compiles the Jonas Brothers’ hit singles together in one collection alongside two tracks from DNCE and four tracks from Nick Jonas’ solo albums. The release serves as a companion piece to their current live show dates (entitled “The Tour”) and their most recent studio release The Album

  

  LP

  Love Lines!

  BMG

  LP has become one of the most internationally beloved singer-songwriters of their generation, skyrocketing with "Lost On You", a heart-penetrating folk ballad that hit #1 In 18 countries. Love Lines is LP's most luminous and heart-expanding work yet, influenced by the sundrenched expanse of California and a spectrum of Western-inspired sounds.

  

  Briston Maroney

  Ultrapure

  Atlantic

  Maroney gives a resounding “so be it!” that washes away the transgressions of time, while still being aware of what days gone by have made of him. After 40 minutes and 13 tracks, Ultrapure is as resonant in one's headphones as it is in Maroney’s headspace.

  

  Kevin Drew

  Aging

  Virgin Music

  Aging’s minimalist piano ballads are darker and more contemplative than anything the Broken Social Scenester has released before. Across the 33-minutes can be found the spirit of Drew classics like “Lover’s Spit” and “Sweetest Kill,” but with a sense of sorrow rarely heard on previous material.

  

  3TEETH

  Endex

  Century Media

  Industrial instigators 3TEETH return with another collection of angry, jagged diatribes. A skull-caving assault that edges their heaviness even further into the swirling abyss of nihilism and biting social commentary, Endex also continues a melodic evolution last heard on 2019's excellent Metawar. The impending doom never sounded so good.

  

  Cannibal Corpse

  Chaos Horrific

  Metal Blade

  Since 1988, Cannibal Corpse have been at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021 they raised the stakes again with their 15th album, Violence Unimagined, growing ever more complex and intense, and in 2023 they return with its successor, the equally monstrous Chaos Horrific, starting a new chapter in their legacy.

  

  Brent Cobb

  Southern Star

  Ol’ Buddy Records

  The American south isn't just Brent Cobb's home. It's his muse, too. A Georgia native, he fills his songwriting with the sounds and stories of an area that's been home to southern rockers, soul singers, country legends, and bluesmen. Cobb offers up his own version of “southern eclectic” with his newest album, Southern Star.

  

  Jenny Owen Youngs

  Avalanche

  Yep Roc Records

  Written with a series of friends including S. Carey, Madi Diaz, and Christian Lee Hutson, Avalanche is an achingly beautiful exploration of loss, resilience, and growth. The songs are deceptively serene here, layering Owen Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements.

  

  Kylie Minogue

  Tension

  BMG

  Global dancefloor queen Kylie Minogue moves the party from the shiny mirrorball disco to the sweaty, neon-lit club on the flawless Tension. Much like Disco, Tension is a master class in pop wizardry and escapist bliss. Releasing an album this expertly crafted and stunning in her fifth decade in the business is an absolute wonder to behold.

  

  Yoke Lore

  Toward A Never Ending New Beginning

  Yell House Records

  Toward A Never Ending New Beginning is full of reflection and raw, unfiltered honesty that will most definitely connect with listeners on a deeper level. Combining electronic beats with subtle instrumentation, each song is sonically diverse and thoughtfully crafted, taking listeners on a journey of self-discovery.

  

  Mitski

  The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We

  Dead Oceans

  Playing country-inflected orchestral pop with sardonic wit and deep feeling, Mitski underlines why she’s one of the very best singer-songwriters working today. A disregard for the mainstream proves again to be Mitski’s strongest armour, as The Land… becomes her most sonically interesting full-length yet.

  

  Blood Incantation

  Luminescent Bridge

  Century Media

  Side A hosts Blood Incantation's signature crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals of the abyssal depths while Side B’s atmospheric synthesizers, haunting melodies, and otherworldly timbres will take you on a journey through the boundless expanse of space. A must-have for any fan of extreme metal or the avant-garde.

  

  The Bites

  Squeeze

  Earache Records

  Primed to drop jaws with their monster hybrid of breathtaking garage rock rhythms, gargantuan choruses, unashamedly retro style and, above all, their dedication to making every live show an undeniable excuse to party, The Bites’ debut album Squeeze will be ready for rock fans to sink their teeth into on July 14th 2023.

  

  Explosions In The Sky

  End

  Temporary Residence Ltd.

  End is perhaps the "grandest" Explosions album – seeing the Texas band further underline their credentials as rock’s finest instrumentalists with another offering of deep, emotive tracks. Although exploring endings, it feels like the band are far from done and will continue to evoke emotions long into the foreseeable future.

  

  Slayyyter

  Starfucker

  Virgin Music

  Slayyyter’s second album sees her delving deeper into her pop stardom with an extravagant Los Angeles starlet persona centered around themes of fame, sex, femme fatales and celebrity obsession. Equally as vicious as it is vulnerable, the electrifying production of the concept album is set to elevate her status as a rising pop trailblazer.

  

  Primordial

  How It Ends

  Metal Blade

  The champs of epic metal return with their first album since 2018’s Exile Amongst the Ruins and tenth overall. The new batch of material obsesses over endings and the concept of finality, filtering this preoccupation through Primordial’s long-established formula of galloping rippers and stately marches.

  

  Lydia Loveless

  Nothing's Gonna Stand In My Way Again

  Bloodshot

  Loveless’ trademark candidness and razor-sharp wit remain, but here her voice is wiser and more controlled. And while she holds onto a vintage country heart and a heartland rock soul, this album also presents something new and matured. Captivating and complex, it’s a triumphant moment from an artist who’s continuing their stride.

• Electric Fetus Vinyl Exclusive for The Wombats - Fix Yourself, Not the World (signed copies!)

  

  We’re psyched to be the only U.S. store to offer The Wombats' release Fix Yourself, Not the World on blue vinyl! This is limited to 500 copies. Order yours now!

  Recording remotely over the past year from their respective homes, The Wombats have been working hard to produce some of the most captivating, inventive and forward-thinking music of their career to date. With Murph in Los Angeles, bassist Tord Řverland Knudsen in Oslo and drummer Dan Haggis in London, they discussed each day’s plan via Zoom, then recorded separately, sending individual files to producers Jacknife Lee (U2, The Killers), Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey), Paul Meaney (Twenty One Pilots, Nothing But Thieves) and Mark Crew (Bastille, Rag‘n’Bone Man) to mix into the finished tracks. “It was pure madness, to be honest,” explains Murph.
