New and Newer Releases :

Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard And Soft (Indie Exclusive, Blue Colored Vinyl, Limited Edition, Eco Vinyl)

Billie Eilish’s third studio album, “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT”, released via Darkroom/Interscope Records is her most daring body of work to date, a diverse yet cohesive collection of songs— ideally listened to in its entirety from beginning to end—does exactly as the album title suggests; hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way. With the help of her brother and sole collaborator, FINNEAS, the pair wrote, recorded, and produced the album together in their hometown of Los Angeles. This album comes on the heels of her two massively successful albums “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO?” and “Happier Than Ever” and works to further develop the world of Billie Eilish. Release 5/17

Hank Mobley – Workout (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)

Vinyl LP pressing. Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley was at the peak of his powers throughout the early 1960s as he produced a staggering run of hard bop classics including Soul Station, Roll Call, Workout, No Room For Squares, and The Turnaround. Recorded in 1961, Workout was an energetic quintet outing featuring Mobley with guitarist Grant Green, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The spirited five-song set consisted of four dynamic Mobley originals-“Workout,” “Uh Huh,” “Smokin’,” and “Greasin’ Easy”-that proved to be ideal vehicles inspiring vigorous improvisations from each of the soloists. The lone standard “The Best Things In Life Are Free”-taken from the musical Good News-was a showcase for Mobley’s more lyrical side. Release 5/17

Kings of Leon – Can We Please Have Fun

Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum rock band Kings of Leon are come back big with their 9th full-length studio album, Can We Please Have Fun. As the title suggests, it’s a document of one of this era’s great rock n’ roll bands cutting loose, trying new things, and, yes, having some fun. Recorded at Dark Horse studio and produced with new collaborator Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Florence + the Machine) the album sees a new side of Kings of Leon. On the new album, the band harkens back to their gritty origins while simultaneously finding new gears. It’s the sound of a band unified in vision and purpose, freed from any expectations, and the album the band says they’ve always wanted to make
