Harry Styles – Harry Styles (Self-Titled Album):  Who ever would have thought we’d be hearing a contemporary rock album from a former member of One Direction?  Harry Styles delivers big in his debut solo album, featuring the hit single “Sign Of The Times.”  Influenced by David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, and other classic rockers helped Harry form this unique rock-inspired album, and we love it!  Available as a standard CD and a limited edition HARDCOVER BOOK + CD.

Blondie – Pollinator: Back again with their eleventh studio album, Blondie reminds us how they became a dominant force in the rock world.  With a sound that has been shaped through the ages, Debbie Harry’s vocals are just as strong as they were 80’s. Available on CD and Vinyl!

NEW RELEASES:

MADONNA: Unreleased Mixes, vol. 10 – We have to start with the Madonna releases!  Unreleased 10 is a remix album containing some of the best unreleased remixes of both classic Madonna hits and newer songs!  On top of the 10 new remixes, there are also 2 bonus demo tracks that were never released officially! 

MADONNA: 80’s DJ Promo Mixes – The official promo mixes to ten of Madonna’s greatest hits from the 80s compiled onto one CD!  These remixes are amazing.

Goldfrapp: Silver Eye – This masterfully crafted album has it all. It’s emotionally rich, enjoyably lighthearted at times, and overall fun to listen to.  Alison Goldfrapp is not shy to show off what her voice can do on these tracks which range from high energy dance beats to ambient electronic chill-out vibes.  Definitely check this one out on vinyl or CD!

Depeche Mode: Spirit – Never shy to speak their minds, the 2016 US presidential election certainly influenced the writing on this 37 year old band’s 14^th album.  The classic Depeche Mode synths and beats paired with Dave Gahan’s instantly recognizable voice make this album feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. Check it out on deluxe edition CD, standard CD, and vinyl now!

Spoon: Hot Thoughts – We LOVE this album!  A little more daring than anything else the band has tried before, this album is a pop/rock masterpiece!  Fun at times, serious at other times, and extremely musically appealing, the band keeps its signature sound while also experimenting with more complicated chord progressions and studio techniques. Available on LIMITED EDITION – RED VINYL only available at INDIE record stores, like us!

DNCE: DNCE – Not a new release, just a notice that this (one of our favorite albums of 2016) is now available on vinyl!

The XX: I See You -- This year was off to a great start with the newest release by the Grammy award winning band – The XX. After the massive success of member Jamie XX’s solo album in 2015, the band returned with a much more evolved sound.  They manage to sound like a much bigger group while still holding onto their subtle vocals and heavily reverbed guitar licks. We can’t get enough of it, and we think you’ll love it, too!
