Alison Goldfrapp has set a towering bar for British synth-pop in the 21st century and shes only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter and producers seven albums with Goldfrapp were fuelled by an unfailing modernity and a sixth sense for sounds that were more timeless than any trend. With the release of her debut solo album The Love Inventionan electrifying dance-pop suiteher multi-faceted musicianship reaches a new peak.
The Love Invention marks Alisons reawakening as a dancefloor priestess, in an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always been at the heart of her musical DNA. So Hard So Hot bottles the ephemeral joy of a dancefloor with its anthemic house beat, disco handclaps, and an exquisitely alluring vocal from Alison. The sense of uninhibited liberation courses through album highlights like In Electric Blue, a yearning synth-pop confection with a chorus as blissful as loves first butterflies. On Never Stop, she is flooded with the rush of an all-encompassing love over a buoyant, rubberised beat; the sublime synth-pop of Fever is an ode to the intoxicating majesty of the dancefloor, with a chorus that explodes as if setting off a glitter cannon.

Nickel Creek
Celebrants [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Confetti Yellow 2LP]
Vinyl: $31.98 PREORDER
Their fifth studio album, Celebrants marks a highly anticipated return for the beloved trio and explores the inherent dynamics of human connection. Across the 18 tracks, the trio addresses love, friendship and time with lyrics both poetic and plain-spoken, as they see bridges built, crossed, burned and rebuilt. Recorded at Nashvilles RCA Studio A, the album was produced by longtime collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Grace Potter, Weezer) and features Mike Elizondo on bass.
In celebration of the release, the band will perform three very special sold-out shows at Nashvilles historic Ryman Auditorium this spring on April 27, 28 and 29.
Together a sum of more than their staggering parts, Nickel Creek revolutionized bluegrass and folk in the early 2000s and ushered in a new era of what we now recognize as Americana music. In a 2020 retrospective entitled, The Year Folk Broke: How Nickel Creek Made Americana The New Indie Rock, NPR Music praised, 20 years ago this month, an album arrived that seemed to speak all these languages at once: unafraid to push the boundaries of its primary genre, and packing the musical chops to bring such an eclectic vision to life. Behind it were three musicians just barely old enough to vote and continued, That makes Nickel Creek and its unofficial debut a critical point along a storied timeline, one whose innovations offer countless connections between the genres origins and its future. Once dubbed progressive newgrassers, the three musicians now fit firmly within the ranks of Americana musichowever nebulous, layered and diverse that realm may be. They have only themselves to thank.
After meeting as young children and subsequently earning the respect of the bluegrass circuit for a decade, the trio signed with venerable label, Sugar Hill Records, in 2000 and quickly broke through with their Grammy-nominated, Alison Krauss-produced self-titled LP. Since that effort, the trio has released three more studio albums to date: 2002s This Side, which won Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 45th Grammy Awards, 2005s Why Should the Fire Die? and 2014s A Dotted Line.

Caroline Rose
The Art of Forgetting [Audiophile Collectors Edition Clear 2LP]
Vinyl: $50.98 PREORDER
The time is now for Caroline Rose. Their last record, Superstar, was released on March 6, 2020. The record was critically acclaimed and positioned Rose as the next big breakthrough in music. Needless to say, the resulting pandemic grinded all momentum to a halt while at the same time throwing Roses personal life into turmoil. The result of that turmoil is the fuel that fired the creation of their latest album, The Art of Forgetting. With The Art of Forgetting, Rose took on the dual role of writer and producer. The album encapsulates the feeling of experiencing recent memories, having them turn into old ones and then ultimately forgetting those memories altogether. There is a romantic nature within the sonic landscape of this record. Tape effects and loops emulate the feeling of aging while the juxtaposition of modern acoustic-electronic textures, like lo-fi tape next to hi-fi granular synths result in some of their most mature and honest work to date.

Elton John
Honky Chateau: 50th Anniversary [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Gold LP]
Vinyl: $31.99 PREORDER
Named after the residential studios outside Paris where the album was recorded, Honky Chteau bought a new level of simplicity and directness to Eltons music that had previously only been seen in glimpses. Shorn of the complexities and ornate orchestrations of his recent work, Honky Chateau seemed freewheeling and intimate. It was helped by Rocket Man, the record which became another of Eltons signature songs.
These special editions contain the original album, and on both vinyl and CD editions a newly created selection of outtakes from the sessions, produced from the original tapes by Matt Still, which highlight the warmth and humor of the sessions.
On CD only there are eight tracks from the album that were recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in 1972, all receiving their live debut, just a few days back in the UK after recording. Assembled with the customary care by Eltons catalog team, the album comes as a gatefold with an eight-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia and an essay by co-curator and music writer Daryl Easlea, featuring interviews from those who were there.
Honky Chteau has been mastered at Lurssen in California, and the vinyl cut at Abbey Road.
Last year BABYMETAL were sealed from the world after a successful 10-year journey. Earlier this year, THE OTHER ONE restoration project began to recover the BABYMETAL we never knew existed within a virtual world called the METALVERSE. The concept album releasing March 24, 2023 reveals the other side of the BABYMETAL story that no one knew existed. A total of 10 songs have been discovered within THE OTHER ONE restoration project, in which each song represents each theme of the 10 parallel worlds that seem to exist. Full length audio of each of the 10 songs will finally be revealed when fans get their hands on the album.
If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES wealth would be off thecharts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxzn (Refused, INVSN,The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls AgainstBoys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites ofSpring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.
However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinventionthat sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into themelodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a popsensibility thats slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. For our
last record [2019s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70s U.K.punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe aswell, like the Vibrators meets Aerosmith. We never saw that coming! ,Baker explains.
For Expendables the band enlisted producer Adam Atom Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Baker explains, The pop influences are alittle more out front on this one and the production really helps it shine. It sounds more direct, more urgent.Expendables is the latest exchange in a musical conversation that spans four decades. Baker aptly refers to the lineup of FAKE NAMESas a mutual admiration society and says that once the five members got in the same room together, it felt as if they had already been inthe band together for years.

Dear Reader,About a year or two ago, Naomi Yang (of Galaxie 500) reached out to meafter she rediscovered a video that we had made together in 2011, during themaking of Tramp, just before the albums release. It was for the song Serpents.The timing was uncanny, approaching the anniversary of Tramp. Thinkingabout my time in New York while in the bubble of Los Angeles and myhome. Thinking about how restless I was, and now settled down and stable.Thinking about how Aaron Dessner took a chance on me after I messagedhim with a fury of demos. He could see through the hiss and crappy vocalson my GarageBand demos, and that I had something to say. He gave me theconfidence to be loud and to scream my rage and feel founded and justifiedin my own pain. He gave me more tools to find catharsis in my work. I havecarried that with me ever since.
Being on the west coast the last two years, I look back on my communityin New York and am forever grateful. I had so many friends and peers stepup and help me unfold these demos. The album that it became. Doug Keithand Ben Lord from my original touring band, Logan Cole, Peter Silbermanfrom The Antlers, Jessica Larrabee from She Keeps Bees, Thomas Bartlett ofDoveman, Rob Moose of yMusic, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Julianna Barwick,Zach Condon of Beirut, Matt Barrick (of the Walkmen), Clarice Jensen, BenLanz, Bryce Dessner, and Bryan Devendorf (of The National).
I had almost forgotten about a song titled "This Is Too Right" that didnt makeit onto the record. It was one of the first guitar riffs I had ever written andJenn Wasner sang on it with me. A song about not believing how good I had it,like the other shoe was about to drop. I hope everyone that helped make thisrecord and supported it, feel the love and admiration that I continue to holdfor all of you. I hope that in sharing this record again, with a new video andthis forgotten track, that new listeners are brought into this album and findmeaning and relevance in it today. All of the musicians on this album helpedmecome to life and perform in ways I never had before.
May these songs find you well. Sending all my love, Sharon.
