Jenny Lewis� fifth solo album, Joy�All arrives June 9th. Joy�All finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town � and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records. While Joy�All pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration � from classic soul to �90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records � the album�s rich, intimate and warm live sound is the hallmark of eight-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb. Recorded at Nashville�s historic RCA Studio A, Joy�All includes new single �Psychos� and the previously released single �Puppy and a Truck.�

DRAIN � the Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band, whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a global�pandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023.

Living Proof is the band�s Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, California Cursed. The new album is a testament to the�hard work and heartfelt ethos that�s at the center of DRAIN�s good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears�on the track, �Intermission�. There�s also a cover of �Good, Good Things,� a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pit�forebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. �It�s crazy because the song�s been out like forty years, but lyrically it�s a DRAIN song!� exclaims vocalist�Sam Ciaramitaro. �It just hits on everything that I love, that I�m about.�

What Sammy�s about is plenty wholesome. �I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,� beams. �If we were able to get�through the tough times, anyone can. I can�t wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. We�re what the title says, the�Living Proof.�

Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God�s Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo),�this is hardcore for everybody. �As the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive,� says the smiling singer. �Every night I set up the merch and run�it until it�s time to play. I want to be the guy that everyone says hello to. I want to thank every single kid that comes out for being there.�

Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Kacey Musgraves� Grammy Award-winning Album of the Year, Golden Hour, with a�glittery, limited-edition sky-blue vinyl pressing.

You know a band has to be one of the most incredible live outfits in the country when they get signed immediately after a show in the time it takes to pop outside for a cigarette break. This is exactly what happened to Island of Love after they were invited to play The Blue Basement venue in Third Man Records - which opened in September 2021 in London as the third Third Man store after Nashville and Detroit. Island of Love were second only to Jack White himself to play the room and it was still so new that the drummer even left with paint on his back from where he�d been pressed up against the wall playing. With that on-the-spot offer, they became the first band signed to Third Man London.

The band are a unique proposition in many ways. While countless London bands continue to go down the same tired path of churning out spoken word post-punk, Island of Love marry raw, primal noise led by crunchy guitars with intrinsically melodic sensibilities - recalling the sound and spirit of peak-era Dinosaur Jr. or Husker D�.

The thought of how an underground power/pop/punk band should exist in the aftermath of the Green Day Nineties was a proposal that hung heavy with apprehension, confusion and bewilderment. While a difficult construct to navigate, this is the unlikely Portland, Oregon setting we see the Exploding Hearts erupt from.

Drawing spiritual inspiration from the likes of the Buzzcocks, Undertones, and Nick Lowe,�the attitude and implied delinquency of the Exploding Hearts was more in line with that of au courant Naughties Warped Tour line-ups. The band also considered themselves peers with the scuzzier side of �The� rock bands at the top of the 2000s. The intersection between Detroit garage punk, Goner Records and the shelves at Hot Topic is a seldom tread land, but it was fertile with potential.

With ten undeniable songs clocking in at just 28 minutes, the Hearts' indisputably essential Guitar Romantic operated as the punk rock equivalent of Ernest Hemingway�s writing: Nothing extraneous, simple, straightforward, to the point, deserving of no additional flourish or accoutrement, with every creative decision pushing forward the work as a whole. Arguably, perfect.

The album immediately felt strong. It felt classic. It felt�destined for bigger things.�

Yet barely three months after its domestic release, with momentum building and Lookout! Records sniffing around, band members Jeremy Gage,� Adam Cox and Matt Fitzgerald, all barely in their twenties, would die in a tragic van accident that ended the band.

The intervening two decades has found Guitar Romantic bubble up from a below-the-radar cult classic to a genuinely acknowledged and appreciated touchstone of its time. As years have carried on with the album rightfully landing on countless �Best of� lists, this record is somehow still ascending and growing.

With that in mind, the passing of Guitar Romantic co-writer �King� Louie Bankston in 2022 served as inspiration for Six to place the album with an appropriate and caring long-term home after years of planning to self-release. Six approached only one label - Third Man Records - who immediately agreed to take up the mantle of the record that was near and dear to their collective hearts.

Guitar Romantic (Expanded & Remastered) doesn�t just present the album with a sharp, spiffed up remastering. It also found original album producer Pat Kearns spinning the old reel to reel and archived DAT tapes for the first time in twenty years. This enabled Six to drop in nuggets like little snippets of pre-and-post-take studio dialogue amongst band members, adding audible life to a record that for too long has been overly-associated with death.

If that weren�t enough, the remastering uncovered the previously forgotten organ-heavy �King Louie Mix� of the fan favorite �I�m A Pretender.� Even more intriguing was the discovery of a completely unheard take of �So Bored", previously not even known to have been recorded at the Guitar Romantic sessions.� Of most excitement though is a remastered version of �Busy Signals� (a song originally released on a small-quantity 7-inch in January 2003).

All of these songs are included here, housed in a beautiful gatefold packaging and still all fitting on a single LP.

With plans to play a handful of select tribute shows across the US to honor the Guitar Romantic material, Terry Six continues to carry the torch for the Exploding Hearts and the countless fans who count this album as a quintessential touchstone.

The Valley of Vision is a 27-minute, breakthrough salvo of six songs that finds the band re-inspired once again, & is accompanied by an album length film shot in VR + 3D computed radiography technology. Andy Hull was inspired to start writing the record while rummaging around in his suitcase looking for his lyric notebook & instead found�The Valley of Vision, a 1975 book of old Puritan prayers his mom had given to him the previous Christmas. Capital Karma is the first new music from the project.

Pushing forward with the intensely self-aware truth-telling he�s always brought to his music, Ruston Kelly immersed himself in the making of The Weakness: a blisteringly honest, but profoundly hopeful album that reveals our potential to create strength and beauty from painful experiences. �I hope this music helps people become the hero of their own lives by understanding their own weaknesses, and I hope it helps them to see that tragedy doesn�t have to be the period at the end of the sentence.�

A Wednesday song is a quilt. A short story collection, a half-memory,�a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments�that somehow make sense as a whole. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as�much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. Rat�Saw God, the Asheville quintet�s new and best record, is ekphrastic but�autobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Across the album�s ten�tracks Hartzman, guitarist MJ Lenderman, bassist Margo Shultz, drummer�Alan Miller, and lap/pedal steel player Xandy Chelmis build a shrine to�minutiae. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from North Carolina unfurling�somewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classic�country twang, that distorted lap steel and Hartzman�s voice slicing�through the din.

Rat Saw God is an album about riding a bike down a suburban stretch�in Greensboro while listening to My Bloody Valentine for the first time on�an iPod Nano, past a creek that runs through the neighborhood riddled�with broken glass bottles and condoms, a front yard filled with broken�and rusted car parts, a lonely and dilapidated house reclaimed by kudzu.�Four Lokos and rodeo clowns and a kid who burns down a corn field.�Roadside monuments, church marquees, poppers and vodka in a plastic�water bottle, the shit you get away with at Jewish summer camp, strange�sentimental family heirlooms at the thrift stores. The way the South hums�alive all night in the summers and into fall, the sound of high school�football games, the halo effect from the lights polluting the darkness. It�s�not really bright enough to see in front of you, but in that stretch of inky�void � somehow � you see everything.

The songs on Rat Saw God don�t recount epics, just the everyday.�They�re true, they�re real life, blurry and chaotic and strange � which is�in-line with Hartzman�s own ethos: �Everyone�s story is worthy,� she says,�plainly. �Literally every life story is worth writing down, because people�are so fascinating.�

For nearly five decades, Dungeons & Dragons has inspired generations of creative people to make movies, novels and, yes, music. Now that relationship is even more distinct with the release today of an album of music created by cutting-edge bands and musical acts all inspired by Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. The far-out storytelling in the world�s greatest roleplaying game�s latest offering is fertile ground for composing some of the most original songs you�ll hear this year from bands like Magic Sword, Shabazz Palaces and OSEES. Spelljams features a double LP�s worth of tracks from artists all produced by Chris Funk, guitarist from The Decemberists who plays D&D with many folks in the music scene in Portland, Oregon. Chris Perkins, story architect at D&D and lead designer of Spelljammer, worked with Funk to bring the Flash Gordon-esque soundtrack to life.

72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told �who we are� by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.�

-James Hetfield

Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Beach House, Spoon, The Flaming Lips) , Temples fourth full-length album takes place in an impossibly utopic island dreamed up by the four band members. With its resplendent collage of psychedelia, krautrock and time-bending dream-pop, Exotico brings that world to life in crystalline detail, all while exploring an entire spectrum of existential themes: impermanence, mortality, our connection with nature and the wild immensity of the mind.

Last year�s Big Time brought Angel Olsen to a deeper, truer sense�of self than ever before. Borne from the twin stars of grief and love,�the album delivered beautiful sense of certainty, the sure-footed sound�of an artist fully, finally at home with herself. But within that wisdom�comes the realization that there is no finish line, no destination or static�end point to life while you�re living it, and Forever Means collects songs�from the Big Time sessions that hold this common theme. They are, in�Olsen�s words, �in search of something else.�

�I was somewhere traveling,� says Olsen, �stopped for a few days and�wandering the city, and I was thinking �what does �forever� really mean?�What are the things I�m seeking in friendship or love, and how can��forever� be attainable if we�re always changing?�� Sitting with the reality�of that entropy, Olsen realized �maybe the secret to ongoing love is to�embrace change as part of love itself, that forever must have something�to do with playing, looking, constantly searching things out for yourself,�never letting yourself think you�re finished learning or exploring.�

Forever, says Olsen, �remains curious while trying also to be kind�and honest.�

All this packs into the four precious songs that comprise Forever�Means, songs from Olsen�s roads traveled and the ones ahead.��Nothing�s free / like breaking free� Olsen sings, comfortable with the�costs of her clarity, her heart and voice fixed on the present, the future,�the not-yet-known and the beautifully unknowable.

Kristian Matsson has never remained in one place for very long. Having spent much of the�last decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth, Matsson has captivated�audiences using, as The New York Times describes, �every inch of his long guitar cord to�roam the stage: darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly and�jittering away...Mr. Matsson is a guitar-slinger rooted in folk, and his songs are troubadour�ballads at heart.�

Now, Matsson returns as The Tallest Man on Earth with Henry St., his sixth studio album�following 2012�s There�s No Leaving Now, full of �vivid imagery, clever turns-of-phrase,�and devastating, world-weary observations� (Under The Radar) and 2015�s Dark Bird Is A�Home, his �most personal record... surreal and dreamlike� (Pitchfork). Henry St. notably�marks the first time he recorded an album in a band setting. �My entire career I�ve been�a DIY person��mostly fueled by the feeling that I didn�t know what I was doing, so I�d just�do everything myself.� But now, longing for the energy that�s only released when creating�together with others, Matsson invited his friends to come and play.

Nick Sanborn (of Sylvan Esso) produced Henry St., which includes contributions from Ryan�Gustafson (of The Dead Tongues) on guitar, lap steel and ukulele, TJ Maiani on drums, CJ�Camerieri (of Bon Iver) on trumpet and French horn, Phil Cook on piano and organ, Rob�Moose (of Bon Iver, yMusic) on strings and Adam Schatz on saxophone.
