The Big Ones

Royal Blood — Dead Company [Red Vinyl LP]
Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher headed into the studio in 2025 with, in their words, "no deadline, no distractions, and a simple ambition: to see what was possible with two people, 12 notes and infinite outcomes." The result is Royal Blood's fifth album and their most self-assured statement yet — self-produced, or as the duo puts it, "anti-produced," and built with the stage in mind. Lead single "Ten Over Ten" is a desert-rock charge inspired by Kerr's marathon training, all bulldozing riffs and endurance-as-metaphor. "After putting the Royal Blood engine in neutral for a couple of years, we've been building up the revs and are playing faster and harder than ever with this album," the band says. Ten tracks, zero filler, out November 13 on limited red vinyl.

Post Malone — August 26 (10th Anniversary) [Spring Leaf Green Indie Exclusive Vinyl]
Before the cowboy hats and the country pivot, this was the beginning — Posty's debut mixtape, featuring 2 Chainz, Jeremih, and Lil Yachty, finally pressed to wax for its 10th anniversary. This is the melodic-rap blueprint that launched a career selling out stadiums, remastered and on limited spring leaf green vinyl. A decade later, the DNA is still all there. Out August 28.

The Chicks — Taking The Long Way (20th Anniversary) [3LP]
Twenty years since the 5x GRAMMY-winning album that turned backlash into a mission statement. "Not Ready to Make Nice" and "The Long Way Around" remain among the boldest reckonings country music has ever produced — a record that refused to apologize and won Album of the Year for it. This anniversary edition adds five bonus tracks and a fourth side etched with handwritten lyrics. Two decades on, it hasn't lost an ounce of its nerve. Out October 2.

Contra-ICE Vol. 1: Ice Out [Orange/Blue Vinyl LP]
A soundsystem combating ICE. Over 30 artists — Tom Morello, Kathleen Hanna and Ad-Rock, Fishbone, Jello Biafra, Fred Armisen, Ozomatli, and more — unite across music, spoken word, and comedy for a compilation that puts purpose behind the pressing. Curated by DJ Dali, proceeds fund frontline organizations NDLON and Unión del Barrio, supporting immigrant communities and standing against inhumane enforcement. Music as resistance, made physical. Includes download card. Out October 2.
