Paul McCartney

Flaming Pie

UMe

Flaming Pie is the 13th release in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, personally supervised by McCartney and remastered at Abbey Road Studios. Originally released in 1997, the critically acclaimed & universally beloved solo album was produced by Paul, Jeff Lynne, and George Martin, featuring a supporting cast of family and friends including Ringo Starr, Steve Miller, Linda McCartney, and son James.

Fontaines DC

A Hero's Death

Partisan

Barely a year after the release of their acclaimed debut album Dogrel, Fontaines DC have returned with an intensely confident, patient, and complex sophomore album. A Hero's Death arrives battered and bruised, albeit beautiful - a heady and philosophical take on the modern world, and its great uncertainty.

Charley Crockett

Welcome To Hard Times

Son of Davy/span>

After undergoing open heart surgery that saved his life, Crockett says he considered calming down for “just a minute.” Welcome to Hard Times was shaped by his heart issues and producer Mark Neill’s desire to make a dark, gothic, country record. “I think you can hear that deep, dark sadness in this record,” he says, “but I think it’s the kind of darkness that will uplift others.”

The Psychedelic Furs

Made of Rain

Cooking Vinyl

The groundbreaking British band’s eighth studio album and first new album in nearly three decades sees the band returning to the fray as relevant and original as ever before, fueled by their innovative sonic approach of distinct, desperate wall of sound, melding haunting melodies and driving rhythms with ambition, aggression, and subversive lyrical power.

Alain Johannes

Hum

Ipecac Recordings

The third solo album from the Chilean-American multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, who is a founding member of several bands, including the alternative rock group Eleven, and has been involved with acts such as Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, PJ Harvey, Chris Cornell, Arctic Monkeys, and Mark Lanegan, both as a musician and as a producer.

Shaggy - Hot Shot 2020

New Shaggy out now!

After serving in the US Marines where he found his distinctive baritone sound by chanting cadences while marching, Shaggy has gone on to almost single-handedly usher dance hall music into the mainstream and, in the process, create some of the most memorable musical moments in our lives.  Who hasn’t quoted his cheeky smash “It Wasn’t Me,” dabbed to “Boombastic” or hummed along to “Angel?”  On his new album Hot Shot 2020 - commemorating the 20th anniversary of his 10-million selling Hot Shot album, the two-time GRAMMY award winner puts a new spin on his most beloved songs and invites special guests such as Sting and Rayvon to celebrate along. Hot Shot 2020 even includes an irresistible rendition of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue” and Shaggy’s new world wide hit “Banana” with fellow Jamaican Conkarah. 

Hot Shot 2020 is now available on import CD and vinyl.

Spoon

Telephono & Soft Effects EP

Matador

A decade after debuting on Matador, Spoon's first album Telephono and follow-up EP Soft Effects have been brought back into print by Merge, reminding us that while the band's taut rhythms, spiky guitars, and jaded urbanity have always been with them, the starkly gestural rock they perfected on later efforts was only attained by a gradual paring away of excesses.

Pop Smoke

Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon

Republic

Pop Smoke's legacy continues with posthumous debut album, Shoot For The Stars.... Features include Quavo, 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch, Lil Baby & more. True to the intentions of showing the breadth of his artistry on "Got It On Me", fans will discover a new side of Pop Smoke, stepping outside of the Brooklyn drill sound that he brought on a global scale.

Mondo Cozmo

New Medicine

Last Gang

Mondo Cozmo does not regret putting his fist through that window while crafting his second LP. In the aftermath, he learned how to “Say no,” departed amicably from the major label system, “taped a fucking pick to his cast” in order to play guitar, lost feeling in the aforementioned hand for two years, and wrote the rock ‘n’ roll record he always meant to write.

The Naked and Famous

Recover

Somewhat Damages/AWAL

While they have sonically mastered the art of dreamy, hook-laden synth-pop, The Naked and Famous have stuck to their guns as far as intimate storytelling. Recover is largely an autobiographical record rooted in a powerful sentiment of survival, and of the very human process of self-preservation - of saving, choosing and celebrating oneself in a world constantly trying to put us down.
