Good News!

Great new albums by PROTOMARTYR, GILLA BAND, GODFLESH & SPACE AFRIKA out now! Available on black or limited edition colored vinyl



PROTOMARTYR - Hotel Usona

Recorded with legendary producer Dave Fridmann (Nick Cave, MGMT, The Flaming Lips) at his own Tarbox Road Studios in western New York, Hotel Usona—Protomartyr's seventh full-length studio album—is an effort that finds the Detroit post-punk outfit reckoning with the horrors of our current moment. It is not easy listening

GILLA BAND - Pugnello

Gilla Band never know where they’re going next. For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet have been redefining what you could loosely call "rock music" in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way

GODFLESH - Decay

Just three years after the hypnotic crunch of Purge, 25 years after an uncertain hiatus that nearly scuttled the band, and 38 years since GODFLESH’s inception, Broadrick and bassist-at-arms Ben Green set out to mercilessly crush this cold world with their tenth and penultimate album, this year’s Decay

SPACE AFRIKA - Quiet Storm

Quiet Storm expands Space Afrika's sound and scope into a sweeping, collaborative vision, shaped with deep patience and intention, embedding their own coming-of-age story into a moving suite of cathartic abstraction. Music with echoes of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and contemporary classical, crafting expansive urban dub landscapes from the contours of their city

CHELSEA WOLFE - The Dark

Chelsea Wolfe enters a new era with her forthcoming album The Dark. Featuring collaborators from Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Tori Amos, and Air, The Dark is sharper and heavier than ever.

Available now on CD, LP & limited dark grass green vinyl edition

EMMA RUTH RUNDLE - This Killing Times

The sixth studio album by the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist is a reactive anthology, full of energy, joie de vivre, and resistance.

Available now on CD, LP & Indie Store Exclusive Sunburst Vinyl
