Making A Door Less Open, the new album from Car Seat Headrest and the first set of brand-new songs since 2016's Teens Of Denial, is set for release on May 1. The album will be available on vinyl and CD featuring distinct tracklists and mixes for each format. Created over the course of four years, Making a Door Less Open is the result of a fruitful 'collaboration' between Car Seat Headrest, led by Will Toledo, and 1 Trait Danger, a CSH electronic side project consisting of drummer Andrew Katz and Toledo's alternative persona, 'Trait.' To realize this, the band recorded the album twice: once live with guitars, drums and bass, and once in a MIDI environment using purely synthesized sounds. During the mixing process, the two approaches were gradually combined using elements of each, with additional overdubs.

Traffic Entertainment Group and B-Boy Records are proud to present one of the most influential and original albums in music history: Criminal Minded by Boogie Down Productions.  A true classic, Criminal Minded was included in Vibe Magazine's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th century. KRS-ONE's combination of street slang and Webster's dictionary knowledge backed by Scott LaRock's hard hitting, minimal beats helped set this album apart when it was originally released in 1986. With this now-classic debut album, BDP's hardcore styling's helped to redefine the New York rap music scene. Criminal Minded elevated the standards and proved that rap could be a dynamic and consciousness-raising medium. Since it's release, KRS-ONE has gone on to become one of the most prolific and critically-acclaimed artists in Hip Hop history. 

PHISH / EVOLVE 2x Vinyl LP - Recorded in the fall of 2023 at the band's studio The Barn, Evolve (the 16th studio album by Phish) was produced by Vance Powell and Bryce Goggin with the 12 songs emerging from the band's dynamic live performances. Some, like fan favorite "A Wave of Hope," have become springboards for Phish's most soaring improvisation. The songcraft and production are confident and taut, with Phish's distinct musical language on vivid display.

Panic! At The Disco's seventh studio album, Viva Las Vengeance shows a change in process for frontman/songwriter Brendon Urie, having cut everything live to tape in Los Angeles alongside his production partners, Jake Sinclair and Mike Viola. The cinematic musical journey is about the fine line between taking advantage of your youth, seizing the day and burning out. The songs take an introspective look into his relationship with his decade plus career including growing up in Las Vegas, love, and fame. "Viva Las Vengeance is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn't have before. I didn't realize I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest," shares Urie. Viva Las Vengeance marks the first new music from the Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum band since the 2018 release of their No. 1 album, RIAA certified platinum-selling Pray For The Wicked.

After two UK No.1 albums, two million album sales and an array of international acclaim, you might've thought you knew what to expect from Royal Blood. Those preconceptions were shattered when they released "Trouble's Coming" in summer 2020. Hitting a melting pot of fiery rock riffs and danceable beats, they delivered something fresh, unexpected and yet entirely in tune with what they'd forged their reputation with.

When Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher sat down to talk about making a new album, they knew what they wanted to achieve. It involved a conscious return to their roots, back when they had made music that was influenced by Daft Punk, Justice, and Philippe Zdar of Cassius. It also called for a similar back-to-basics approach to what had made their self-titled debut album so thrilling, visceral and original. Those traits pulsate throughout the new single and title track. Kerr's spiraling bass riff casts an hypnotic allure as it grows in intensity, while his vocals switch at will between a raw rock roar and a soulful falsetto. It's underpinned by Thatcher's thundering beats, his taut rhythms infused with groove-laden hi-hats.

After setting the tone with "Trouble's Coming," Typhoon opens in breathless, take-no-prisoners style with the fierce metallic grooves of "Who Needs Friends" hitting an early visceral peak. Royal Blood further reference their fresh array of influences by deploying vocodered vocals on "Million & One" before dynamically switching between the biggest contrasts of their sound with "Limbo." Already a fan favorite having been a regular during the duo's 2019 shows, "Boilermaker" lives up to its reputation and is more than matched by "Mad Visions," which evokes a hyper-aggressive Prince. It ends with a final surprise in the shape of the stark piano ballad "All We Have Is Now," a vulnerable and revealing reminder to live in the moment.

This new approach manifested itself in the duo's decision to produce the majority of Typhoons themselves. However, "Boilermaker" was produced by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme while multiple Grammy Award winner Paul Epworth produced "Who Needs Friends" and contributed additional production to "Trouble's Coming."

American indie-pop luminary Clairo returns with third album, Charm, co-produced by Clairo and Leon Michels (of The Dap Kings and El Michels Affair). Evoking balmy summer evenings and tête-à-têtes in plush conversation pits, Charm is a collection of warm, ‘70s-inspired grooves that move lithely between jazz, psychedelic folk and soul.

Clairo (born Claire Cottrill on August 18, 1998) is an American singer-songwriter and musician known for her lo-fi and bedroom pop music style. She first gained attention in 2017 with her viral single "Pretty Girl," which she recorded and produced in her bedroom and uploaded to YouTube. The song's success led to a record deal with Fader Label.

Clairo's debut album, Immunity, released in 2019, received critical acclaim for its introspective lyrics and blending of pop, rock, and R&B influences. The album features popular tracks like "Bags" and "Sofia." Her second album, Sling, released in 2021, showcases a more mature and introspective sound, produced in collaboration with Jack Antonoff.

Throughout her career, Clairo has been praised for her honest songwriting, addressing themes such as mental health, sexuality, and personal growth.

Bleachers -"Bleachers" - Ingrooves; Dirty Hit; Bleachers return with their self-titled new album, via Dirty Hit. The album is Jack Antonoff's distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life, on his position in culture, and the things he cares about. Sonically, it's sad, it's joyful, it's music for driving on the highway to, for crying to and for dancing to at weddings. There's something reassuringly touchable and concrete about it's sentiment: exist in crazy times but remember what counts. Vinyl variants include 4 bonus tracks. Indie Exclusive Blue 2 LP.

Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, Radical Optimism is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. The hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul, become milestones as you choose optimism and start to move with grace through the chaos.

Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the attitude of the album embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop. Radical Optimism transports its listener to a dreamy pop world rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic and sonically liberating.

The 3x GRAMMY and 7x Brit Award-winning global pop powerhouse worked with a team of core collaborators throughout the project including Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker.

Critically Acclaimed Fourth Studio Album by Earl!

"SICK is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (the people could fly). Once the lock kdowns hit, people couldnt fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life. people were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasnt going anywhere. These songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to zelooperz the enigma, the armand hammer, and my good friends alchemist and black noi$e. peace and love to u" - Earl Sweatshirt

For New Jersey’s The Front Bottoms, working on new music has always been therapeutic, but on their forthcoming new album You Are Who You Hang Out With, having complete and utter fun took top priority for the duo of Brian Sella and Mat Uychich. It’s this carefree and laid-back mindset that colored the sessions for You Are Who You Hang Out With. Armed with the duo’s signature anthemic melodies, take-no-prisoners lyrics and tight musical interplay, every spin of the album is a chance to peek behind the curtain at two friends having one hell of a time doing what they do best. “Oh yeah, it had to be fun for us,” says Uychich of the freewheeling, oft-emotional sessions that resulted in You Are You Who Hang Out With. “Also, we said numerous times that we needed to make it sound like The Front Bottoms.” To hear Sella tell it, things had to feel comfortable for he and Uychich. Because, sure, they could get self-serious about their craft. But The Front Bottoms have never been that band. “So we had to keep it natural,” Sella says of the process that resulted in a stunning 10-track album full of explosive hooks and even harder-hitting melodies “Don’t force anything and just let the songs develop the way they develop. That’s just the way it’s meant to be.”
