Days – The Mountain Goats
Had to get the pink vinyl. This physical record production on this is incredible and matches the high caliber of a release from the band. The vinyl has a beautiful die-cut design with an extensive booklet. Their 24th album finds them sifting through decades of memory with incredibly catchy songs. CANDLEBOX!!
2026 Jan – April: “Mirrorballs and pheromones. I can be a social hand grenade”
Nothing’s About to Happen to Me – Mitski
The beginning of 2026 has blessed us with a beautiful rich album by Mitski. Her eighth album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, wraps orchestral arrangements around a haunting narrative of a reclusive woman who’s an outcast to the world but free inside her own crumbling home. It’s intimate, moody and sometimes devastating. Viola approved.
Jay Som – Belong
Really excited about this new release by Jay Som. Loved the singles and got it as soon as it came out. It’s been 6 years since Melina’s last album. One track has a collab with Hayley Williams, who also just had a new solo project out titled Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. That’s next on my radar.
