Uhlmann Johnson Wilkes, the debut album from LA based trio , and .wilkes.music, arrives on March 14th via !

The three improviser/arranger/producers' impressive individual credits encompass such a wide stylistic pendulum swing that a collection of group music from the trio could mine any number of musical territories with masterful results. In these 11 instrumental songs, the trio explores a spacious lyrical curiosity that could be described as a jazz-informed take on progressive electro-acoustic chamber music.

Conceived during two live shows at ETA and a session at Uhlmann's house in Los Angeles, the album maintains a focus on beauty, melody, and rhythm as the pieces unfold, with the trio pushing their instruments and highly-dialed effects to sculpt otherworldly sounds with the collective sensibility of a rhythm section. The ethos of these instant compositions is arrangement-minded improvisation that showcases the mournful beauty of Uhlmann's fingerpicked electric guitar, the hybrid rhythm-lead of Wilkes' bass chording, and the textural harmonic worldbuilding of Johnson's effect-laden alto saxophone.

Now available for pre-order, ’s The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis arrives on March 21st via ! More on the album:

The EVEN MORE Freewheelin Jeffrey Lewis was recorded in just four days in Nashville, by Roger Moutenot (long-time producer of Yo La Tengo, and the previous Jeffrey Lewis album Bad Wiring), and features the Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage touring band of Brent Cole on drums, Mem Pahl on bass and Mallory Feuer on violin and keyboard. Jeffrey’s style of “anti-singing” continues to reach for the humanity behind the artifice, mirroring the nudity of the album cover.

One snowy February day in 1963, Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo were photographed in New York City for the cover of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan LP, around the corner from Dylan’s 4th Street apartment. 60 years later, lifelong 4th St resident Jeffrey Lewis had the idea to try to take the same chilly photo but with no pants on, to prove himself “even more” freewheelin’ than Bob! This plan was foiled by global warming, as New York City winters no longer offer snowy street photo ops, but at least Jeffrey tried.

While the album cover might be a native New Yorker’s neighbouhood joke, it also serves to throw down the gauntlet to modern song-smiths, as if to point out that nobody in contemporary songwriting can quite fill Jeffrey’s shoes (barefoot or not). If you thought 2019’s Bad Wiring was an unimprovable high-watermark of the Jeffrey Lewis 20-year discography, prepare to be shook all over again. The range of moods, situations, wordplay and styles here is effortlessly breathtaking, and if you aren’t transported on ten different emotional rollercoasters by the ten songs on this album then you might just be a Chat GPT replicant-bot.

A Blade Because A Blade Is Whole, the new album from , arrives on March 7th via , and is available for pre-order now on our store! More on the album:

A Blade Because a Blade is Whole is the latest album from London-based composer-poet-activist-improviser Alabaster DePlume, his first major work following 2022's GOLD and 2020's To Cy & Lee:
Instrumentals Vol 1.

The 11-song album covers all of DePlume's musical touchstones: lush and gentle instrumentals informed by ghostly ancient folk melodies; groove-focused rhythm explorations as a bed for self-searching spoken declamations; sweeping and beautiful string arrangements (in this case by Macie Stewart) set against his trademark vibrato-infused tenor sax whispermoan.

Most of all, A Blade... finds Alabaster DePlume at his most purposeful and direct yet, building on foundations laid through years of writing and touring to craft this ambitious work. Here lyrical explorations of healing, dignity, and struggle set the tone of the music itself-the mysterious and tense sensuality of the Melody Nelson-like strings on "Form a V"; the playful and idiosyncratic echoes of the 1960s British Folk scene on "Invincibility"; the golden-era Elvrum level of vocal intimacy on "Too True"-it's all handed over with such familiarity and intention that the album's full sonic grandness reveals itself at an IV-drip-pace.

Halo On The Inside, the new album from , arrives on March 14th via , and is available to pre-order now on our store!

Last fall, when Circuit des Yeux (aka CdY, aka Haley For) released the stand-alone single "God Dick," she described the song as a passage leading from the past toward things to come. "It served a chrysalis function," she wrote of the track, which morphs between orchestral grandeur and shuddering electronic percussion. For called it, "A love banshee bursting through porcelain skin one hair at a time until, finally, the beast within is fully on display."

Out March 14th, 'Halo On The Inside is the product of that metamorphosis. It is the butterfly and the beast - a rhapsodic, hedonistic, dance floor-adjacent, pagan-friendly, horns-adorning wall of sound and emotion. Halo on the Inside finds CdY renewed, recombinant, and thrillingly alien.

Hard Times Furious Dancing, the new album from , will be released on March 28th via , and is now available for pre-order on our store! More about the album:

Snapped Ankles have given up trying to make sense of it all. The forest only offers so much protection.
Feeding on a diet of fractured narratives, meme culture, viral moments and the very worst of human impulses weighs heavy. The woodwose hold up a mirror to the absurdity of modern life once again. The only sane response is to dance. Make your way to the clearing, gather around the megalith of speakers, drum machines, amps and synthesisers and dance like there's no tomorrow.

Hard Times Furious Dancing is an invitation to all those lost in the unrelenting noise of the present, to leave it all behind and come together in the forest. Driven by the primitive thrust of their single-oscillator "log' synths, high and low culture collide in a surreal, free flowing narrative - but the rhythm is universal. This is easily the closest Snapped Ankles have come to capturing their rapturous live energy in the studio.

The sound of Hard Times Furious Dancing evolved at Snapped Ankles' South London 'Forest Rayve' club nights in 2024 in response to that age-old primal urge to bring people together and make them move. It's the first time the woodwose have road tested new material to this extent before committin it to tape since debut album Come Play The Trees, and in doing so have harnessed that feral energy once again. This surreal human/woodwose connection is the very best release from an algorithm tha knows you better than you know yourself. Dance it all loose.

After more than two decades of captivating fans with their signature harmonies and timeless love songs, 98° returns with Full Circle, an album that marks a new chapter in the group's storied career. This highly anticipated release features five brand new tracks that showcase the evolution of the band's sound, while still staying true to the essence that made them icons of the '90s and 2000s. Collaborations with powerful vocalists Katrina Velarde and Janine Teñoso bring fresh, dynamic layers to the album, with each artist adding their unique touch to these modern pop-soul anthems.

From the soulful ballads to the infectious up-tempos, Full Circle perfectly blends the familiar smooth melodies that fans know and love with a more contemporary edge. The title Full Circle reflects the journey the group has taken-from their meteoric rise in the late '90s to their ongoing passion for making music together.
