New Releases for September 24th, 2021

SUFJAN STEVENS / ANGELO DE AUGUSTINE A BEGINNER'S MIND CD/LP

“The album feels in some ways like classic Sufjan — the soft, lyric-driven indie-folk that fans would be familiar with from albums like Seven Swans and Carrie & Lowell. His lyrics are as acute as ever... But the other thing Sufjan is known for is that aforementioned experimentation, and that’s all present here, too.” - Consequence

DJ SHADOW ENDTRODUCING LP REISSUE

“Endtroducing....., sounded like nothing else at the time of its release. Using hip-hop, not only its rhythms but its cut-and-paste techniques, as a foundation, Shadow created a deep, endlessly intriguing world on Endtroducing....., one where there are no musical genres, only shifting sonic textures and styles.” - AllMusic

ANGEL OLSEN AISLES LP

“These don’t feel like your average indie-goes-’80s covers; they’re a reminder that even when Olsen’s having fun, she can turn something simple into a gut-punch, consuming your thoughts and evoking reflection of the emotional connection tied to her words.” - AV Club

HERBIE HANCOCK MAIDEN VOYAGE LP REISSUE

“There's been no shortage of ink spilled extolling the musical virtues of Herbie Hancock's 1965 recording, Maiden Voyage. Featuring the great trumpet of Freddie Hubbard and the bracing tenor of George Coleman, the record is as good as any effort turned in by Hancock during that period. It's a record every jazz fan should know.” - All About Jazz

PIXIES TROMPE LE MONDE LP REISSUE

Trompe le Monde isn’t only the most melodic Pixies album, it’s the hardest-rocking. Sure, the production, courtesy of Gil Norton, is cleaner than that of Surfer Rosa, but as a result, the guitars are meatier, the drums louder and crisper… The time has come to at long last grant Trompe le Monde its rightful title as the Pixies’s best album.” - Slant

V/A I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR: A TRIBUTE TO THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO CD/LP

“The best iterations here show off the depth of texture that the Velvet Underground could conjure inside and outside of rock & roll’s confines and how, even in the most radical reworkings, Reed and his bandmates hid some great pop songs underneath their trippier “many colors made of tears” moments.“ - Rolling Stone
