With their distinctive heavenly harmonies and roots firmly embedded in country music, The Everly Brothers were at the forefront of the Rock 'n' Roll revolution of the fifties. Born two years apart and raised in a musical family entrenched in country music, the brothers, with the help of formidable songwriting team Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, combined their early influences with rock 'n' roll to create a timeless catalogue of hits that will be eternally loved. Presented on 140g vinyl, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy's Clown, Lucille along with all their Top 10 hits are showcased on this 18 track collection. Their contribution and lasting legacy cannot be underestimated. The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, The Hollies and many, many more were all influenced and moulded by the unique sound of Don and Phil.

On her new record, NYC songwriter Beck Zegans explores the strange architecture of emotional defense, through a series of songs that flash between fiery rock, experimental folk and psychedelia. Centering on themes of emotional defense and desire, Engraving Of Armor sings to the invisible shields we build around ourselves, the weight they carry, and those fragile moments when it all starts to unravel. Released via Exploding In Sound Records, Engraving Of Armor is built of nine new songs that move between confrontation and contemplation. An immersive body of work, the songs here are grounded by cyclical, meditative drums, bursts of heavy guitars, and the occasional warm pulse of analogue synths. At it's heart, the album digs into what it means to wear emotional armor, and Zegans seeks the answer to this question through songs that touch upon longing, ambivalence, and avoidance; the complicated exhilaration of falling in love. Of both wanting deeply, and resisting that want at the same time.Musically, the album sits in conversation with a wide range of influences, just as comfortable when leaning into the textural experimentation of Autolux and Sonic Youth, as it when pulling from the intimate songwriting of Nick Drake or the modern urgency of Fontaines D.C. Those inspirations conjure a sound that is emotionally direct, sonically adventurous, and quietly hypnotic.

Loser Edition on transparent white vinyl. InchI've always wanted to use that title,Inch Sam Beam says of Hen's Teeth, his eighth full-length album and his sixth for Sub Pop Records. InchI just love it. To me it suggests the impossible. Hen's teeth do not exist. And that's what this record felt like a gift that shouldn't be there but it is.Inch Hen's Teeth and his previous album, Light Verse, are siblings of a sort. They were recorded during the same sessions after a year-long dry spell, with the same band, at Waystation studio in Laurel Canyon. InchI'm at a point in my life where spontaneity is a lot more important to me. I'm a lot freer and I love making music more than ever. There are no right or wrong answers. You just pray for your luck and try your best.Inch In this case prayers were answered and luck struck hard. The musicians cohered so quickly that they were often getting songs recorded in just a few takes, sometimes at the rate of two or three per day. The two albums might therefore be thought of as fraternal twins they share DNA and complement each other, but are defined as much by their differences as their similarities. Light Verse (2024) took it's name from a form of poetry that makes heavy use of wordplay, humor, and nonsense. It's a sweet and airy album, impressionistic, at times even flirting with abstraction, a hearty shaking off of the doom and gloom of the Covid era. The world of Hen's Teeth is earthier, darker, more robust and more tactile than that of Light Verse. The songs have titles like InchRoses,Inch InchRobin's Egg,Inch InchDates and Dead People,Inch InchSinging Saw.Inch The cover is a portrait of Beam surrounded on all sides by flourishing ferns and other tropical plant life - a surreal scene that contrasts starkly with the cool blue-white palette of Light Verse. As for the music, Beam says InchThe experiments in this one were more with
