Featured Releases
The week's biggest names — all in stock now.
Lizzy McAlpine — Angel (Vinyl 2xLP, Maiden Fair Cream — Indie Exclusive, w/ Poster)
Her fourth studio album and most ambitious yet — 14 tracks across two LPs on RCA Records. Angel opens with lead single "The Light in the Painting" and moves through a sprawling, emotionally detailed world that includes "Soldier of the Road" featuring Fleet Foxes, "Ugly Things," "The Moon," "I Have a Friend," and the title track closer. The highly anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed Older. This Indie Exclusive "Maiden Fair" cream pressing comes with a poster — the definitive edition for Lizzy fans.
MILEY — Bass Persuades (Vinyl LP, Apple Red — Indie Exclusive, Gatefold w/ 24x36 Poster)
New name. New label. New era. Miley Cyrus returns in 2026 as MILEY — and Bass Persuades on Atlantic Records is a genuinely surprising reinvention. The 10-track album features "Let's Get Married," "Orbit," "REDLIGHTS," "Innocent Ways," and "Different Religion" featuring Model/Actriz, alongside the closing "Neon Signs" featuring Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow. The Indie Exclusive Apple Red pressing comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 24x36 poster — a beautiful physical package for one of the year's most talked-about pop releases.
Rhiannon Giddens — Hope Is the Thing with Feathers (Vinyl LP, 140g Eco)
Named after the Emily Dickinson poem and rooted in the traditional Americana and folk music Rhiannon Giddens has championed throughout her career, this new solo album on Nonesuch is intimate, grounded, and quietly extraordinary. Grammy Award-winner, MacArthur Fellow, and co-founder of the Carolina Chocolate Drops — Giddens at her most personal. Features the beloved Elizabeth Cotten composition "Freight Train," the traditional "Cluck Old Hen," and originals including "Angel Fire Rise," "Carolina Rain," "Step Away Blues," and "High on a Mountain" across 10 tracks. Pressed on 140g eco vinyl.
CCM & Faith
Two essential releases for the Christian music fan — one brand new, one long overdue.
Audio Adrenaline — Bloom (Vinyl LP, Brown — 30th Anniversary Edition)
Thirty years ago, Audio Adrenaline released one of the defining Christian rock albums of the decade — Grammy and Dove Award nominated, and featuring the guitar work of Barry Blair in what would be his final album with the band. Bloom gave the Christian rock world "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus," "Secret," "Walk On Water," "Good People," "I'm Not the King," and nine more tracks that still resonate three decades on. This anniversary brown vinyl pressing on Girder Records is sourced with care and limited to just 400 copies worldwide. If you want this one, don't wait — 400 copies is not many.
for KING & COUNTRY — The Most Beautiful Colours (Vinyl LP)
The new studio album from four-time Grammy Award-winning Australian duo Joel and Luke Smallbone, on Curb Records. The Most Beautiful Colours is their most collaborative record yet, featuring "World on Fire" with Taylor Hill, "My Mosaic" with Jessica Simpson, and a stunning three-song Emerald Isle bonus suite with Aqualung including alternate versions of "Miracle" and "Thin Air." Fourteen tracks in total. And at $24.99, one of the best-value new vinyl releases of the fall season.
Also Worth Your Time
Three more releases that deserve a closer look — a 90s classic on vinyl for the first time, a soul gem re-pressed, and a much-anticipated return from one of indie music's most distinctive voices.
Sister Hazel — Somewhere More Familiar (Vinyl LP, 180g)
The platinum-certified 1997 debut that gave the world "All for You" — #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and one of the most beloved alt-rock songs of the decade — has never been pressed on vinyl. Until now. Music on Vinyl's 180g pressing of Somewhere More Familiar includes a lyric insert and the full original Gainesville, Florida five-piece lineup at their creative peak. Tracks include "All for You," "Just Remember," "Happy," "We'll Find It," "Superman," and "Starfish." A must for any '90s rock collector.
Goldford — Space of the Heart (Vinyl LP, Cloudy Clear w/ Orange Splatter — Indie Exclusive)
The St. Louis-born, Los Angeles-based soul artist who left a decade in corporate America to pursue music at 30 following a devastating personal loss. His debut album Space of the Heart balances introspection and catharsis across nine tracks — including "Got You Right," "Easy Does It," "Runnin'," "Celeste," "Let It Hurt," and the title track. Raw, unvarnished, and deeply felt. This Indie Exclusive re-press on cloudy clear vinyl with orange splatter is the most beautiful way to own it. If you haven't discovered Goldford yet, this is the place to start.
Son Lux — Out \ Into (Vinyl LP)
After receiving two Oscar nominations and a BAFTA nomination for their score to A24's Everything Everywhere All at Once — and scoring Marvel's Thunderbolts — Son Lux return to the studio album format with Out \ Into on This Is Meru. Propulsive, urgent, raw, and vulnerable across nine tracks including "Want You to Love," "Us Endlessly," "Break Bread," "Summer's Gone," and "Like a King." It strives to question assumptions about how music is made, cultivating a musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites. A significant record from one of indie music's most singular voices.
Pro Tip
The Audio Adrenaline Bloom anniversary edition is limited to 400 copies worldwide — that's a genuinely small number and it won't be restocked. If you want it, order now. The Lizzy McAlpine Maiden Fair Cream IEX is also the one to prioritize over the Looking Glass Clear — cream with poster is the edition collectors will remember. And if you're new to Goldford, his earlier EP Orange Blossoms is also worth exploring — we carry it on orange vinyl.
