Common & Pete Rock
Loma Vista Recordings

Legendary hip-hop figures Common and Pete Rock showcase their evolved prowess in their debut collaboration. Pete's groundbreaking production, blending intricate harmonies, and Common's multifaceted artistry shine through while each element is carefully curated, resulting in a timeless masterpiece.

Shaboozey
American Dogwood / EMPIRE

The Nigerian American artist's second album offers a full-on barrage of post-genre possibilities, epitomizing not a one-hit wonder but a songwriter who has found both his mode and his moment at the exact same time. Where I’ve Been… is a showcase for a modern American approach that continues to leave genres behind.

JD McPherson
New West Records

With Nite Owls, McPherson takes inspiration from multiple genres of the past and combines them together to evolve a sound that is all his own. It’s the signature sounds of vintage garage-rock via Bowie and Alan Vega. It’s Chuck Berry jamming with Buddy Holly; a nod to the Factory sound from the UK; something that’d make Dick Dale ride and Link Wray rumble.

Alan Sparhawk
AstralwSaddle Creekerks

After the 2022 death of Mimi Parker, Sparhawk’s wife and longtime partner in Low, there is no question that this is a record borne of grief. But it would be foolish to see grief as the sole source this taut, brilliant, provocative, thrilling album, whose bold experimentation is powered by profound lyrics and propulsive beats.

Ezra Collective
Partisan Records

Dance… serves as an ode to the sacred, yet joyous act of dancing, musically guiding you through a night out in the city. Written during a blistering 2023 which saw Ezra Collective tour the world and become the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize, this is a documentation of the many dance floors they encountered.

Lil Peep
Death Note Music

On his debut, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 (the only album to be released during his lifetime as the young artist died exactly three months after the album's release), the alternately waggish and sincere Lil Peep is a bona fide rocker warping the edges of rap.

The Lumineers
Dualtone Music Group

In September of 2022, with over 40,000 fans in attendance, The Lumineers took fans on a anthemic, foot-stomping journey at Chicago's historic Wrigley Field. Highlighting career favorite tracks like Ho Hey, Ophelia, and Stubborn Love, both their sophisticated songwriting and impressive instrumentation and performance chops were on full display

Katy Perry
Capitol

Katy’s having a party and everyone is invited! 143 is a bold, fearless, exuberant, and celebratory dance-pop return to form for the multifaceted musician with an album jam packed with the empowering, sexy, & provocative anthems you’ve come to love. This is an album with a lot of heart and a lot of BPM. Get ready to pop off!

Nubya Garcia
Concord

Following the multi-award-winning tenor saxophonist, band leader and composer’s critically acclaimed debut album, Source, Odyssey is a majestic feat that blends orchestral arrangements with R&B, jazz and dub. Featured guests include Esperanza Spalding, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Richie Seivwright.

Nightwish
Nuclear Blast

Finally the ultimate expression of Nightwish, a magnum opus that delivers everything this galactic band do best, but expands each aspect further. Yesterwynde is no passing fancy, but a 71-minute odyssey that invites you to take your own journey. And, as anyone with sufficient focus will know, not all those who wander are lost.

Seether
Fantasy

Bands like Seether have a tight line to walk, in that they can't be around for so long and not evolve at all, but they also cannot evolve so much that they change their style, alienating longtime fans. Here they successfully show their evolution as songwriters, especially in their lyrics, while maintaining their distinct post-grunge sound that's still so popular today.

Unto Others
Century Media

This is the sound of harsh light breaking through the Portland quartet's darkened gothic and classic metal motifs. Never, Neverland takes the next step from dark sunglasses and chugging metallic riffs to melodious gloom, crunching, punkish abandon, and grandiosity, marking a great rock band on the verge of something unholy and massive.

Stryper
Flatiron Recordings

Stripped down, unplugged versions of “Heavenly Metal Masters” Stryper’s classic songs, ranging from energized tracks "Loud & Clear" and "Soldiers Under Command" to power ballad "Honestly," plus a never-before-released version of the classic hymn "Amazing Grace."

The Black Dahlia Murder
Metal Blade Records

Battered and bruised from the loss of their fallen frontman, Trevor Strnad, The Black Dahlia Murder never gave even the slightest impression that they might call time on their reign of death metal excellence. Whether wallowing in grim, doomy waters or blasting away like some crazed, nihilistic army of intergalactic ghouls, this is an album that nobly delivers the goods, while screaming defiance at the stars.

Wage War
Fearless

On Stigma, Wage War pushes their signature sound with industrial grit and electronic sheen, completely leveling up. Inspirations on this album come from musical heavyweights including Rammstein, Static-X and iconic films such as The Matrix and Blade. There is a song for every emotion on the record encouraging fans to dance, mosh, vibe and reflect.
