The album features new core members Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia, marking a new era following the departure of former bassist Max Oleartchik.”

Man's Best Friend is the upcoming seventh studio album by the American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It is set to be released on August 29, 2025, by Island Records. The album's lead single, "Manchild", charted at number one in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Carpenter produced the track with Jack Antonoff, who also co-produced her previous studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024).

The cover artwork of Man's Best Friend generated controversy and significant media attention; some criticized it as appealing to the male gaze in a detrimental manner to women, while others saw it as a way to challenge misogynistic expectations of women's sexual behavior. Later, Carpenter released an alternate direct-to-consumer cover, which she described as "approved by God".

Big news! We will be hosting an all ages, free to attend in-store performance with Cash Langdon on Thursday, June 19th @ 4pm!

Make sure to stick around after the performance for a chance to get some signed vinyl from Cash and the band!

Dogs (out May 2 on Seasick Records) is Cash Langdon’s second record under his own name, but the first joined by his band Meadow Dust (bassist Matt Whitson and drummer Reagan Bruce). Mostly recorded at Portside Studios (the former location of the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound) in just two days, engineer Brad Timko (Dan Sartain, St. Paul and The Broken Bones) captured the trio sounding fierce and tight. Their fuzzy take on heavy country rock recalls Neil Young & Crazy Horse and gives off the heat of Langdon’s native Birmingham. Like Young, his voice is simultaneously earnest and world-weary, but there’s a sense of humor too, and a resignation to keeping on (“Dogs”). These songs are beautiful, searing, southern-gothic testaments to the ongoing violence of being awake to the world around you (“Lilac Whiskey Noise”) and the resolve to stay awake anyway (“Magic Again”).

It’s listening party time again! We’re stoked to announce that we will be hosting a listening party to celebrate the release of Stereolab’s new album “Instant Holograms on Metal Film”. Coming out May 23rd, 2025.

Stop in on Friday, May 23rd at 1pm to pick up the album, hear the new tracks and grab some sweet giveaways!

Stereolab have shared details of their first studio album in 15 years, titled Instant Holograms On Metal Film.

Spanning 13 tracks, the record was written by the group’s Laetitia Sadier and Tim Gane, and performed by the pair together with Andy Ramsay, Joe Watson and Xavi Muñoz, who currently form the band’s touring lineup.

There are also guest contributions on the album from Bitchin’ Bajas’ Cooper Crain and Rob Frye; Ben LaMar Gay; and Cavern Of Anti-Matter’s Holger Zapf, among others.

We’re stoked to announce that we will be hosting a listening party to celebrate the release of Car Seat Headrest’s new album “The Scholars”. Coming out May 2nd, 2025.

Stop in on Friday, May 2nd at 1pm to pick up the album, hear the new tracks, grab some giveaways and enter for a chance to win some signed postcards from the band!

Having gone through their trials, Car Seat Headrest are now ready for the next chapter in their career. It will astonish both longtime supporters and new fans. While Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo's solo project, it is now fully a band. “What we've been doing more of in recent years is just taking the pulses of each other. We’ve really been leaning into that sort of cocoon that started off with the pandemic years and just turned into this special space that we were creating all on our own,” says Toledo. “I was coming out of it as a solo project and it always just felt like it was in pieces. There's the album we're working on, and then there's a live show that we're doing, and then there's everything in between. And it didn't really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy. And it's become that band feeling for me in a much more realized way. That's been a big journey.” It is a journey that listeners will want to embark on again and again as they absorb and discover the rich depths and clanging resonances of The Scholars.

We’re excited to announce that we will be participating in an early listening event for The Head & The Heart’s new album “Aperture”. Coming out May 9th, 2025.

Stop in on Wednesday, April 30th at 5pm to get a sneak peak at the new tracks, grab some giveaways and enter for a chance to win a signed lithograph from the group!

“Sun was made for coming out, even though the night is long.” Aperture – The Head And The Heart’s sixth album and first since signing to Verve Forecast – is the affirming work of a band finding again its shared footing, reaching unimagined levels of camaraderie and mutual risk as one. With every song fortified by the sense of beginning again, Aperture is The Head And The Heart’s most vital and poignant album. Featuring tracks like the album’s beautifully arcing opener “After the Setting Sun” and the mighty anthem “Arrow,” Aperture is a stunning testament to the collaborative work of a band who decided to let in the light, return to their roots, and forge a new path, together as one.
