Shedding the Americana-adjacent associations of her previous efforts, Liz Cooper pursues sounds and songs from the likes of Courtney Love, Lou Reed, and Bowie. Hot Sass is Cooper coming into her own, both musically and as a person. “It’s me learning about what kind of woman I am and it’s not pretty all the time. I just want to continue making art that displays myself, the moments, and the people around me.

The heaviest of metal legends return with another sprawling double-album. More diverse than its predecessor (2015’s The Book of Souls), Senjutsu is full of gear changes (progressive tendencies run free), thematic leaps (Samurai Japan! Time travel! Celtic death marches! WWII!), but still manages to concentrate its punches. It’s the sound of perfectly honed craftsmen galloping, axes in hand, toward the battlefield—where (or when) ever that may be.

High Top Mountain

The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter's third album in twelve months is his most ambitious project to date. Written and recorded in less than a week, the record tells a classic American story of a Civil War-era couple torn apart by violence and reunited by love—what Simpson calls "a simple tale of either redemption or revenge. I just wanted to write a story—not a collection of songs that tell a story, but an actual story, front to back.”

Peppa Pig is an animated series for pre-school children about a cheeky and slightly bossy little pig called Peppa. Peppa lives with her little brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig. Peppa does everything a normal four year old does, like writing a follow-up to her wildly successful first album - one that’s a charming and self-assured celebration of family, friendship and muddy puddles!

Under Construction, Part II served as the follow-up to Missy Elliot's album of the same name. With Timbaland handling a majority of the production, the album boasts the large and flamboyant beats that we've come to expect from Timbaland as one of the top producers of his time. The album features appearances from longtime collaborators such as Missy Elliot and Sebastian, as well as notable names such as Brandy, Wyclef Jean, and Bubba Sparxxx.

Napalm

From the blast beat banger "Colossus", 90s grunge vibe of "Disclosure!" and dynamically blazing "Mediator", and to the dark and gloomy psychedelic ride of "Wallflower" - the unbridled heaviness and personality of Wallflowers is sure to overwhelm hardcore fans while winning over new ones as well. The album proves another standout addition to Jinjer's already widely celebrated catalog, and a new standard for creativity in modern heavy metal as a whole.

The Beatles - Let It Be: Special Edition

The Beatles - Let It Be: Special Edition

Following on from the global success of ‘Abbey Road’, Apple Corps and USM are proud to present the next multi-format Beatles album reissue of ‘Let It Be’. 

January 1969 –The Beatles planned to return to live performance, setting up in Twickenham Film Studios, London, for 21 days of rehearsals. They then decamped to their new studio in their Apple office building in Saville Row and on January 30th performed their last ever live group performance on the rooftop. All of this was filmed for aproposed documentary (eventually released in 1970). During the rehearsal process, they asked Glyn Johns, who had been hired to help with the live sound, to attempt a mix to create an album. This was never released, becoming known as one of the great ‘lost’ albums in rock history and is now included in this Super Deluxe Set. The album was delayed further and in fact became their 12th and final official album release on 8th May 1970 following additional production by American producer Phil Spector.

Watch the unboxing video below and pre-order your copy of the album on Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Picture Disc LP, Super Deluxe 4LP + 12in EP, Super Deluxe 5CD/Blu-ray, Deluxe 2CD, LP or CD.
