HABEL, JUNI	Evergreen In Your Mind	LP	BASIN ROCK	BR 025LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/24/2026 LP version. Evergreen In Your Mind, the new and third album from Norwegian singer-songwriter Juni Habel, exists in two worlds at the same time. Songs were recorded in quiet corners of her home, on the piano in the school where she works, and it uses the physical world around her to provide percussion. It also takes place, as she herself attests, within a dream; an imagined place in which her desire for oneness with each other and the world is finally realized. Evergreen In Your Mind was recorded with co-producer Stian Skaaden. It is Habel's first album in three-years, following the breakthrough success of 2023's Carvings LP. Formed of eleven new recordings, the songs here remain delicate, with Habel's voice playing an elegant lead role. Small shifts in Habel's sound result in a notable stride forward. More focus went into the groove of these songs. Playfulness was embraced and, perhaps most importantly, patience played a fundamental role in shaping the album with time and care given to every element of these songs. The extra time that was given to the project gave Juni the space to nurture her creativity. She would read and listen to music, hike into the hills, place herself within nature and seek out stillness. Not as a deviation from her work but as a fundamental part of the process. It's a search for connection, and it's a recurring theme across Evergreen In Your Mind. The album's title-track and fist single feels indicative of this narrative. A gorgeous, delicate folk song, it finds Habel out in the woods, hiding from real life, caught in the space between the natural world and the pull of modernity. The album cover also adds shimmer: a striking photograph of Juni among the mountains, it was taken on a day trip to Rondane, a five-hour drive each way from her home.

DR. JOHN	Live at Rockpalast 1999	2CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 91072CD
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "Dr. John, also known as 'The Nighttripper,' is a musical high priest of voodoo rock. Born Malcolm 'Mac' John Rebennack Jr. on November 20, 1941, in New Orleans (USA), he is a six-time Grammy Award winner and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's enough by way of introduction; everything else is music history. It began in 1968 with the release of his first album, Gris-Gris (Atco Records), a sometimes eerie-sounding mixture of voodoo spells, rhythm and blues, and Creole soul music. With his colorful and picturesque stage performances, he stylized himself as Dr. John (Creaux) the Night Tripper, becoming an icon of psychedelic rock. Dr. John's true love, however, was the blues influenced by his hometown of New Orleans. He collaborated with numerous blues musicians such as Charles Brown and roots rocker Willy DeVille, as well as jazz musicians such as Maria Muldaur and Bennie Wallace, and rock musicians such as Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton. He appeared in Martin Scorsese's film The Last Waltz, a film adaptation of Bob Dylan and The Band's farewell concert, as well as in the film Blues Brothers 2000. On July 9, 1999, Dr. John performed at the Loreley as part of a Rockpalast festival. He was accompanied by three outstanding session musicians: David Barard (bass), Bobby Broom, and Herman Ernest (drums). The set list included Dr. John classics such as 'Iko, Iko,' 'Right Place, Wrong Time,' and 'I Walk On Guilded Splinters,' which became a global hit in 1969 in Marsha Hunt's version and was later covered by Cher, Humble Pie, and the Neville Brothers, among others. This Rockpalast recording is a moving legacy of the extraordinary musician and human being Dr. John, who passed away in the summer of 2019 in his beloved hometown of New Orleans."

MORE EAZE	sentence structure in the country	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 648CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "more eaze is the moniker of Brooklyn-based composer, orchestrator, and multi-instrumentalist, mari maurice. A renowned collaborator both in performance and on recordings, maurice's own work is a fantasia, a reflection of her curious and explorative musical mind, encompassing entire spectrums of sound from a wide sonic pallet of electro-acoustic textures, folk traditions, and pop forms that pirouette into fully realized ecosystems. sentence structure in the country is a definitive statement of the matchless quality of more eaze's skill as player and musical thinker. The album relishes the ecstatic in performance and collaboration with an inviting wit and incisive compositions, imbuing tenderness, frustration, and joy into each passage. The title is an acknowledgement of the vernacular that shaped maurice's musical production. As Coltrane said, 'It all has to do with it.' maurice grew up playing fiddle in traditional folk and country tunes, and while playing on her album is entirely different, her reverence for the evolution of folk forms and her playing remain integral to those performances. Informing her production choices were maurice's well- chosen collaborators: Wendy Eisenberg on electric guitar, piano and voice, Henry Earnest on electric guitar, Alice Gerlach on cello, Jade Guterman on acoustic guitar, and Ryan Sawyer on drums. maurice explains how her collaborators helped sculpt the album's sound: 'There are ways Jade or Wendy choose to voice chords that are not how I'd play them in this context, but that's kind of the point. Their voices redefine what I'm making but also help me define my own.' sentence structure in the country is a collection of compositions, each beautifully realized, self-contained worlds. maurice's dexterous, tasteful arranging lays bare her influences and obsessive fascinations with remarkable congruency while foregoing any sense of indulgence. Her music holds a density not only in the lush compositions and embellishing flourishes, but also for those moments of spare, minimalist beauty. sentence structure in the country is a textural marvel, a mosaic of ethereal electronics and loamy acoustics sculpted around deeply moving, enduring songs."

VA	Singing From My Soul: Soul Chronology 5	2CD	HISTORY OF SOUL RECORDS	SOUL 011CD
$7.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 By 1960, the sound of black popular music had turned away from a driving, largely up-tempo rhythm and blues to-wards a more emotionally poignant style described at the time as secularized gospel. The term "soul" popped up here and there, but only became common parlance after Ray Charles's "I Believe To My Soul" was released at the end of 1959. This compilation, part of the History of Soul series, brings together the finest tunes before soul went main-stream, accompanied by a 28-page booklet exploring the historical background from the years 1959 and 1960. Featuring Isley Brothers, The Soul Seekers, Barrett Strong, The Sensational Wonders, The Meditation Singers, The Falcons, Sugar Pie DeSanto, The Sunset Travelers, Big Jay McNeely, The Highway QC's.

5 ROYALES, THE	The Complete Apollo Sessions	2CD	HISTORY OF SOUL RECORDS	SOUL 016CD
$7.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 The definitive "5" Royales brings together all known recordings of the "5" Royales and their songwriter Lowman Pauling. This set presents all their Apollo recordings together with "5" Royales curios and outtakes. When they joined King in the spring of 1954 they were coming off a run of hits for Apollo that had made them the most successful R&B group in the US. Arguably the greatest of all the R&B groups, the "5" Royales were also the very first to marry blues rhythms and instrumental stylings with the vocal fire of gospel. This daring and controversial innovation merging secular and sacred musical influences into a coherent whole, lays down the future guidelines of soul music. Compiled with the invaluable assistance of J. Taylor Doggett and Monika Hinrichs, these CDs contain some of the very best early soul and R&B ever recorded and the Royales' music still has the power and the passion to move us all. Includes 24-page booklet with notes by John Ridley.

AGNEW, RIKK	All By Myself	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 496LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 Rikk Agnew's All by Myself is one of those records that feels like a secret you're lucky to stumble upon -- a raw, weird, totally personal snapshot of a restless artist at a pivotal moment. Originally released in 1982 on Frontier Records, the album stands apart from most of what was coming out of Southern California at the time, even though it was born right in the middle of the exploding hardcore punk scene. By 1982, Rikk Agnew was already a big deal underground. As the guitarist for Adolescents, he helped shape the sound of Orange County hardcore with sharp riffs, surf-inflected melodies, and a sense of urgency that became hugely influential. He also played in bands like D.I. and later Christian Death, moving fluidly between hardcore punk, post-punk, and darker, more experimental territory. Agnew wasn't just a fast, aggressive guitarist -- he was a songwriter with range, curiosity, and a strong DIY instinct. All by Myself lives up to its title in the most literal way. Agnew recorded the album largely on his own, playing all the instruments and handling vocals himself. Instead of delivering another straight-up hardcore record, he went inward. The result is a lo-fi, home-recorded collection of songs that blend punk energy with new wave, post-punk, psychedelic touches, and even moments of pop sensitivity. It's rough around the edges, but that's exactly the point -- the album feels intimate, unfiltered, and honest. In the early '80s, Southern California punk was loud, fast, and often confrontational. Bands were pushing against the mainstream and even against each other, racing toward more extreme sounds. While All by Myself shares that DIY spirit, it doesn't fully play by hardcore rules. The tempos shift, the moods wander, and the songs feel more like personal experiments than scene anthems. That made the record a bit of an outlier at the time -- but also what gives it lasting appeal. Frontier Records was the perfect home for a release like this. The label was known for supporting artists who didn't quite fit into neat categories, and All by Myself captured that ethos perfectly. Today, All by Myself is often seen as a cult classic. For fans of early punk, post-punk, or anyone interested in the roots of DIY recording culture, this album is essential listening.

ILE DE GARDE	Rage Blossom	LP	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 193LP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 Ile de Garde isn't just a clever pun paying homage to the blessed German mystic and jack-of-all-trades, Hildegarde Von Bingen. It's the name chosen by three women freshly signed to Born Bad/Carpaccio Cathédrale, who came bearing gifts: six synth-wave tracks based on a drum/keyboard/spoken word line-up. It won't be for everyone, and that's just as well. More of a narrator than a singer, Klara Coudrais performs the lyrics, embodies characters, and puts on a show, in French and in English. Controlled and clinical anger, putting facts in order, whether it's settling scores with some violent bloke or scrutinize a couple on the path to a breakup -- Sylvia Plath meets Diamanda Galás, heckling the audience gently. It sometimes flirts with singing, with reinforcement coming up as backing vocals. Neither John nor Karen Carpenter, Cécile Aurégan layers synths to produce dense, enveloping soundscapes. It's a full starter-main-dessert, but the trio has a strong stomach. Morgane Poulain peacefully taps away at her drums. Track after track, no-frills post-post punk for your ears, with a few surprises. Ile de Garde takes the floor, body-wise. Rage Blossom is a beginning, and you have to be there.

NOTWIST, THE	News from Planet Zombie	CD	MORR MUSIC	MORR 207CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 With News from Planet Zombie, The Notwist return to view after years of exploration and experiment with an album rich in both melancholy and positivity, sketched across a suite of thrilling, fiercely committed pop songs. It's an album reflecting a chaotic world, but responding with warmth and generosity, to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in their home base of Munich, it reconnects with the security of the local to explore the troubles of the global: a guiding impulse writ large across this album's eleven songs. For News from Planet Zombie, the core trio of Markus and Micha Acher and Cico Beck embraced the plural possibilities of writing together, bringing songs to the collective and then arranging, rehearsing and recording that material live, in the studio. The result is an album that's energized, fully in "the now", with spectacular moments where you can hear the magic bubbling up in the dynamic between the Achers, Beck, and fellow members Theresa Loibl, Max Punktezahl, Karl Ivar Refseth, and Andi Haberl. The openness to chance also takes in guest turns from friends both local and international, reflective of a cosmopolitan Munich: Enid Valu joins in on vocals, while Haruka Yoshizawa guests on taishōgoto and harmonium, Tianping Christoph Xiao on clarinet, and Mathias Götz on trombone. The Notwist aren't best known for cover versions, but News from Planet Zombie features two: a gorgeous version of Neil Young's "Red Sun" (from 2000's Silver & Gold), and a take on Athens, Georgia folk-pop gang Lovers' "How the Story Ends." They slot into the album's narrative perfectly, nestling in like old friends, revealing The Notwist as poetic interpreters. Also available on black vinyl (MORR 207LP) and orange color vinyl (MORR 207ORA-LP).
