What's New 9-25-20
Loma Vista
What started out in LA and was finished back in North Carolina at Esso's home studio, Free Love asks major questions about self-image, self-righteousness, friendship, romance, and environmental calamity with enough warmth, playfulness, and magnetism to make you consider an alternate reality. These are Sylvan Esso's most nuanced and undeniable songs—bold enough to say how they feel, big enough to make you join in that feeling.
Small World reflects that odd sense of distance one develops from being in a place that's so close yet so far, so undeniably locked in the gravitational pull of the center of the universe, only with a language and lore all its own. These songs remind us to trust our gut and that love is worth exploring, all with an inescapable rhythm. In these trying times, everybody should say thank you for reminding us to dance our little asses off.
Super One
15 tracks highlighting the group's energetically hopeful vibe, conveying the members' collective message that we're all "Super" and we can overcome any hardship together as "One".

Dancin' Party: The Chubby Checker Collection (1960-1966)
ABKCO
A 21-track collection containing Chubby Checker's biggest hits from 1960 to 1966. 18 Top 40 hits including four number 1 chart toppers!. Chubby's original hit version of "The Twist," which has the distinction of being the only single of the rock era to reach number 1 twice in two consecutive years, is included. Includes rare tracks from Chubby's creative folk and soul period from 1963 to 1966.
Ohms is a magnificent tour de force and their first album in 4 years since the critically acclaimed Gore in 2016. The album boasts a familiar collaborator in veteran producer and engineer Terry Date, who worked on 1995's Adrenaline, 1997's Around the Fur and 2000's White Pony. 10 tracks of raw escapism and unparalleled grooves that have made Deftones' sound singular for over two decades.
Sign O' The Times (Deluxe Edition)
Overflowing with musical ideas and topical lyrics that sound just as relevant today as they did when they were initially released, Prince's iconic double album captured the artist in a period of complete reinvention. The 3CD Deluxe Edition features the classic album remastered by Prince's original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman, along with single mixes and edits released in the period the album was released.
The Buckleys
Petrol Records
Daydream was recorded in Nashville with multiple Grammy award-winning producer Chad Carlson – a 12-track affair reflecting the full scope of the band's musical vision. Country, rock, pop, Motown and blues, all of these flavors are here, underpinned by telling hooks and melodies.
Sonically constructed to capture the feeling of a hip-hop record, Ultra Mono doubles down on the vitriolic sneer and blunt social commentary of their past work. Not far beneath the surface of their self-admitted sloganeering lies a deeply complex and brutally relevant album that chews up clichés and spits them out as high art for the masses. This is momentary acceptance of the self.
Cayucas
Blue Summer
For their fourth album as Cayucas, brothers Zach and Ben Yudin are heading back to the beach — in other words, to the sunny, vibrant, melodic rock from which they first paddled out. While at first listen the tracks may seem to simplify the glory of a sunny SoCal day, there is typically a slight pang or sense of longing present. Fitting for a year rife with our own bummer summers.
