PRINCE PIANO & A MICROPHONE CD/LP/DLXLP

“Most of what he recorded were works-in-progress, along with a couple of beloved covers and playful improvisations. It’s likely he never would have let this see the light of day; it’s too unguarded and intimate even for an artist as bold as he was. Now, that session has been unearthed as Piano & A Microphone 1983, a fascinating look at a side of his brilliance we didn’t know existed at the time.” - Rolling Stone

METRIC ART OF DOUBT CD/LP

“On the new Art of Doubt, Metric takes another welcome hard turn — this time back into spiky, guitar-driven rock and roll. Without fully shedding Metric's synths — or brightening Haines' messaging, which remains awash in class critiques and accounts of troublesome human behavior — Art of Doubt is the sound of a band that's only reinvigorated by the arrival of its 20th anniversary.“ -NPR

BROCKER WAY WILD WILD COUNTRY - SCORE CD/LP

“An Adventure of my Life demonstrates how Brocker Way used elements of both Bernard Herrmann dread and Aaron Copland uplift to his acclaimed score, reflecting the moral ambiguity of “unreliable narrators” and “ghost cowboys.” The composer tried to capture the inner lives of the characters, how they saw their roles in an epic tale.” - Variety

SHA LA DAS LOVE IN THE WIND CD/LP

“Bill Schalda, the family patriarch, cut his teeth in the music industry singing in doo-wop groups in the ’60s. Two of his three sons were amongst Charles Bradley’s Extraordinaires. Together, the Sha La Das is a family that sings in perfect four-part harmonies.” - No Depression

TIM HECKER KONOYO CD/LP

“Konoyo, the new record at hand, is certainly a boundless object – a gyre, wide and dark – and beckons sublimity like a reliable pet. Hecker's work this time, though, is an archer, more pointed proclamation: it is devotional, elegiac, and seems directed at a darkness that's not as obvious or asphyxiating as past pieces, but toward a space that's chillier, more private, more desolate.” - NPR
