New Releases for June 4th, 2021

RED FANG ARROWS CD/LP

“Red Fang didn’t alter their signature sound so much as enhance it for Arrows. Everything in the mix is sludgier, heavier, and more accentuated. Following a dark Dio-like intro track, hearing the opening sludged-out chugs of “Unreal Estate” is like being greeted by an old friend who’s been away for far too long.” - Consequence Heavy

JASON ISBELL, MIKE COOLEY, & PATTERSON HOOD LIVE AT THE SHOALS THEATRE CD/LP

“Jason Isbell reunited with former Drive-By Truckers bandmates Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood for a benefit concert at Shoals Theatre in Florence, Alabama on June 15, 2014. A live album featuring audio of the show, Live At The Shoals Theatre, is available now.” - Jam Base

HAILU MERGIA TEZETA CD/LP/TAPE

“Ethiopian music legend Hailu Mergia has announced a new reissue of his 1975 album with the Walias Band, Tezeta. The rare, initially cassette-only release has been remastered by restoration engineer Jessica Thompson.” - Pitchfork

ART BLAKEY THE WITCH DOCTOR (TONE POET SERIES) LP

“The music contained on The Witch Doctor was recorded in 1961 and came out on LP much after the fact. It too features the great line-up with Morgan, Shorter, and Timmons, but this time the writing is more a group effort, with two cuts apiece from Morgan and Shorter…” - All About Jazz

JAPANESE BREAKFAST JUBILEE CD/LP/TAPE

“When Jubilee pops, it POPS. “Be Sweet” is one of the year’s best singles, a funky disco/rock hybrid with vocals that soar like a seabird over pacific waves. “Slide Tackle” features guitar playing that tickles with jazzy intimacy, like your partner running their fingers up and down your back, to get you into their arms.” - Post Trash

ROSTAM CHANGEPHOBIA CD/LP

“The producer and songwriter’s second solo album is a romantic exploration of uncertainty, a rush of momentum softened by his trademark sounds.” - Pitchfork
