Notable vinyl releases out this Friday - October 31, 2025

This next volume in the award-winning Bootleg Series tells the story of Dylan’s emergence and maturation as a songwriter and performer, from Minnesota to the Greenwich Village bohemia in the early 1960s. It includes rare Columbia Records outtakes, recordings made at club dates, in tiny informal gatherings, in friends’ apartments, and at jam sessions in long-gone musicians’ hangouts. The 4LP Highlights edition includes a 24-page book and features 42 tracks, of which 18 are completely unreleased as well as 9 super-rare cuts.

A collaboration forged in the heart of the American Midwest, In The Earth Again unites Oklahoma City’s noise rock institution Chat Pile with Texas/Oklahoma’s visionary guitarist and composer Hayden Pedigo. What began as a casual split release idea spiraled into a thirty-six-minute album that threads their contrasting sensibilities into something entirely new. Pedigo’s panoramic, primitive guitar, meets Chat Pile’s industrial decay, creating a record that explores unknown emotional registers and atmospheric depth for both, In The Earth Again sounds like a post-apocalyptic transmission from rural nowhere. Instead of making concessions, the five artists work as a single unit, and each decision is made in support of the greater vision. The result is both intimate and expansive, a tribute to the modern wasteland.

Claire Rousay’s music cascades from a well of documented experience, reflections of the past that compose the present. A prolific multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer, rousay gracefully crafts boundaryless music. From her frequent and acclaimed collaborations with artists like M. Sage, more eaze, Gretchen Korsmo, Andrew Weathers, LEYA, and Alex Cunningham, to her film scoring like on The Bloody Lady. From her own compositions to her solo pop work, rousay’s music is delicate yet powerful, carefully constructed with a casual intimacy. rousay collages a wealth of found sounds and field recordings with earthy strings, stately piano, and processed instrumentation, all of which trace the outlines of memories and distinct impressions and create a complex constellation of feeling. rousay’s music has evolved from confessional to conversational and excavates the rich emotional essence of each passage. Her work as both archivist and adept arranger and orchestrator merge sublimely into deeply honest and engrossing music. On a little death, rousay’s blend of pop sensibility and compositional acumen turn abstracted sounds into tangible feelings, its warm, glimmering glow coalescing sensually with the darkness. The process of composing a little death felt like a homecoming for rousay after the more pop-oriented song forms of 2024’s sentiment. “sentiment was a different way of working that helped refresh my music making habits and usual flow,” rousay notes. “This record is a return to what I see as my core solo practice, a re-dedication to those methods of working which I’ve found most align with what I envision my music or sound to be.”

It's all larger-than-life, darker-than-death, and the best album Creeper have ever recorded. "It seems that the world's getting excessively morbid by the moment out there," says Will Ghould, a man with a boyishly infectious enthusiasm for everything that he does, "I think we need fantasy and fun more than we ever have."?However, if you strip back the layers, you'll find that Creeper's ambitious narratives are rooted in an authentic place, touching on subjects such as friendship, mental health and devastating love. A vital element was the input of producer Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Royal Blood, The Cult) who embraced and encouraged the band's "What would Jim Steinman do?" ethos during sessions at his studio, a converted church - a home-from-home for a record with some blissfully blasphemous edges.

Tremor – the breathtaking sixth album by Daniel Avery. An inner world built from chaotic noise, transcendental ambience and voices that echo around it like pulsing transmissions from some distant ether world. All those sounds on Tremor sublimely flow and blur together to leave the listener disconnected from the here and now. It’s as close to magic as music can get. “I’ve never had a more inspiring time making a record” says Avery. “This is a living and breathing collective. Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through we could all pass. Every person on the record leaves their unique mark but the power lies in us all working together. It’s a beautiful lesson acid house has taught me: no one’s energy is more important than anyone else’s… especially my own.” Tremor opens the door to The Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Walter Schreifels from Quicksand / Rival Schools,as well as a slew of contemporaries in bdrmm, Julie Dawson from NewDad, yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yuné pinku, and Cecile Believe. Tune in, turn it up, embrace the tremors and prepare to leave this place behind.

Florence + The Machine releases their highly anticipated 6th studio album Everybody Scream.

The band around frontwoman Florence Welsh has become an integral part of the global music scene! With seven Grammy nominations, multiple platinum and gold awards, five top 10 placements in the German album charts and more than 1.5 million records sold in Germany, Florence + The Machine is one of the most influential bands of the last decades. In the past, the band has worked with music greats such as Taylor Swift ("FLORIDA!!!"), Lady Gaga ("Hey Girl") and Calvin Harris ("Sweet Nothing"). The group became known for Florence Welsh's powerful vocals and their theatrical and often mystical sound, which delicately combines elements of art pop, indie rock and baroque pop. In their music, Florence + The Machine explores themes such as love, death and pain and draws inspiration from the art and literature of the Renaissance.

Robert Pollard: "I'm a student of hooks. That perfect combination of a lyric and a chord pattern that gives you that chill up the back of your spine." Thick Rich And Delicious overflows with hooks. It plays through front-to-back like a power pop classic, but don't misconstrue pop for soft. The basic tracks were cut live and hot to tape and are presented with minimal overdubs. The band recorded in a Brooklyn studio at extreme volumes, conjuring the spontaneity and electric energy of their legendary live show. Complimenting Pollard's lead vocals, harmonies are sung by Grammy-nominated Bobby Bare Jr and Pollard (aka "The Self-Righteous Bros"). The sound delivers on the album's titular promise-thick, rich and delicious. Pollard combines a new batch of songs with a basket of unrecorded gems dating back to the band's nascent years. The chorus of "Oxford Talawanda" contains a never-used hook that Pollard has been singing for nearly his entire life. With Thick Rich And Delicious, you can get that satisfaction.

The Charlatans UK are back with their highly anticipated new album, `We Are Love.' Their first studio album since 2017, this eleven-track collection marks a significant return for the band. `We Are Love' sees The Charlatans UK pushing their sonic boundaries, featuring exciting collaborations with the acclaimed Dev Hynes and renowned producer Steven Street, promising a fresh yet unmistakably Charlatans sound. Standard black vinyl.
