New Releases for July 30th, 2021

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER CD/LP/TAPE

“Her second full-length album hits a sweet spot where the mixed emotions and occasionally self-contradicting feelings about love and fame seem to spill out in real-time, even as the intricacy of the production and even the vocal rhythms betray the secret that this stuff has all been, you know, worked on.” - Variety

DURAND JONES & THE INDICATIONS PRIVATE SPACE CD/LP

Private Space may wear its classic influences on its sleeve (the Isley Brothers, the Temptations and Earth, Wind & Fire among them) but lockdowns and separation have produced a distinctly modern flavour of yearning for post-Covid togetherness and better times.” - The Guardian

PRINCE WELCOME 2 AMERICA LP/BOX

Welcome 2 America was recorded back in spring 2010, when Prince and his backing band The New Power Generation were preparing for a tour of the same name. The tour went ahead, to great acclaim, but the album was shelved… The record is also a joyous ride through the annals of music history and the genres Prince helped to shape.” - NME

BLEACHERS TAKE THE SADNESS OUT OF SATURDAY NIGHT LP

“This tension, combined with that full-band energy, make Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night Bleachers’ most cohesive effort… There are songs here that can stand alongside Antonoff’s best work, and it feels as if he’s beginning to carve out a clearer vision of what Bleachers can be as a band.” - Rolling Stone

TORRES THIRSTIER CD/LP

Thirstier is exuberant and unguarded—the kind of music you make when you’re no longer testing out a new skin and instead reveling in the fervent joy that it brings you. At their best, these songs ride the contact high of a love so consuming that it shifts your worldview and makes you write songs loaded with screamable choruses and conventional hooks.” - Pitchfork

DEATH VALLEY GIRLS STREET VENOM LP

“Like a director’s cut, the deluxe version of Street Venom presents familiar garage pop sounds and proto-metal textures with more clarity and sharpness… The result is a reissue that gives new focus and meaning to details from the original release.” - Flood Magazine
