New Arrivals:

Glass Animals – I Love You So F***ing Much (Indie Exclusive, Limited Edition, Colored Vinyl)

I Love You So F***ing Much is the fourth studio album from human musical group sensations Glass Animals, released on Republic Records. The album was partly inspired by the success of “Heat Waves” in 2020, with frontman Dave Bayley saying that “sometimes you aren’t able to change as quickly on a personal level”. He explained that success can leave one feeling like a “spectator” with accompanying expectations to act a certain way, which “confused [him] to the point of not knowing who [he] was or if anything was real”. The title is about the power and mystery of human connection in a universe that “may make us feel overwhelmingly small”. Bayley also explained that the lead single “Creatures in Heaven” is about “a moment in time & having the capacity to be enormously formative and life-changing”. 7/19 Release

Dr. Dog – Dr. Dog

For more than two decades, Dr. Dog have maintained a shared devotion to the unruly alchemy of making music. When it came time to create their eleventh studio album, the Philadelphia-bred band adopted an entirely new way of working together, embracing a multilayered process designed to foster a deeper synergy among it’s five members (bassist Toby Leaman, lead guitarist Scott McMicken, rhythm guitarist Frank McElroy, keyboardist Zach Miller, and drummer Eric Slick). After beginning that journey with a close-knit session at Leaman’s uncle’s cabin in the Pennsylvania woods, Dr. Dog steadily made their way toward the joyfully unfettered psych-rock of their new self-titled LP. Mixed by multi-Grammy-winner Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Drive-By Truckers), Dr. Dog finds McMicken taking the helm as producer for the first time in the history of the decidedly egalitarian band. True to the eclectic spirit that’s always animated the band, Dr. Dog’s 11 tracks shift from soul to surf-rock to symphonic pop with an exuberance made all the more powerful by their revitalized creative energy. “There isn’t really a concept or cohesive idea that unifies this collection of tunes,” says McMicken. “In the end it’s about us being together, doing the work, and showing up as our truest selves.” Their first fulllength since 2018’s Critical Equation, Dr. Dog reveals a band – over twenty years into their storied career – growing together and evolving, fully committed to the singular work of dreaming up songs that brighten the mind and expand the soul. 7/19 Release

Duran Duran – Rio (2009 Remaster)

Rio was released in 1982 following the success of their debut album. Rio electrified the already-rising ‘second British invasion’, dominating the American charts with singles such as ‘Rio’, ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ and ‘Save a Prayer’. All of which remain as some of Duran’s biggest streaming songs to this day. 7/19 Release
