Emmet Cohen - Universal Truth - VINYL LP

Emmet Cohen's time has come. Since his debut Mack Avenue Future Stride, Cohen has toured the world consistently - bringing the joy of music to people in need during a global pandemic - all while hosting weekly livestream concerts from his home in Harlem, NY. These livestreams provided a sense of community and a home to the displaced musicians of New York, reminiscent of the 1920s rent parties. On Uptown in Orbit, his sophomore for Mack Avenue, Cohen brings the tradition of jazz to the forefront while providing the modern twist needed for the current times. Featured on this is trumpeter/educator Sean Jones, saxophonist Patrick Bartley, bassist Russell Hall and drummer Kyle Poole.

22 years after their first (1999) and ten years after their last album (2008), Nebula are back. And you're thinking InchHoly S**t!Inch right now, you pretty much nailed it. Holy S**t is Nebula's first LP since 2009's Heavy Psych, and it quickly puts to rest the question that's loomed since guitarist/vocalist Eddie Glass, bassist Tom Davies, and drummer Michael Amster announced the band's reformation in 2017 Nebula are still Nebula. It's there in the inimitable space-grunge of InchIt's All OverInch, or the take-a-drag-and-be-gone InchLet's Get LostInch, or the way InchTomorrow Never ComesInch manages to be so, so heavy and laid back at the same time. It's in the paradise-psych of InchGates Of EdenInch and even the snoring you hear before the devilish InchMan's Best FriendInch kicks in to open the album (the studio couch became a crash spot). Since the days of 1998's Let It Burn EP and the now-classic To The Center debut album (HPS 066CD/LP/LTD-LP), Nebula have always been just a little more dangerous. Just a little more unhinged. Holy S**t shows this front-to-back for the essential part of their character it is, and yet it's not trying to be anything they've done before, whether it's those early outings or Heavy Psych or 2001's Charged (HPS 087CD/LP/LTD-LP), 2003's Apollo, or 2005's Atomic Ritual. It's a sixth Nebula album - something for which even the most ardent of fans could hardly have hoped. The basic tracks were done in two days, recorded at Mysterious Mammal Studios in LA with Matt Lynch (also of Snail) at the helm. Leads and loops and feedback effects were done live by Glass and Davies as they recorded the basic tracks, just the way they'd do it on stage, and overdubs followed after as needed. A glut of material was produced and whittled down to the core of what you hear here. A sixth Nebula album. And when you hear it, you'll find yourself saying that titl
