NEW BLUE SUN (CD)
"-- represents a continuation of adventure and discovery for me. Even inherent in the meaning of my name Andre 3000, there is a wonder or looking forward to the new or what is next. This discovery has happened many times in my life and career and it's very exciting to witness. I say 'witness' because I am also watching it happen along with you all and I never really know what will come or how I will respond or interpret the inspiration. We all have aspirations, ideas or plans but isn't it the most awesome when life surprises us in a way that becomes greater than anything we could have imagined? 'This album' and the process in which it was recorded is that discovery and witnessing being played out in real time, alive, breathing and improvised. It's much more than 'Andre's flute album'. Ha." - Andre 3000

UNDERDRESSED AT THE SYMPHONY (CD)
Faye Webster's songs are direct lines to the human subconscious, and this album documents what happens once you begin to build a new self from the ashes of your old routines. This rebirth isn't flashy or definitive, but is instead a series of seemingly mundane moments that, scattered across weeks and months, sneak their way toward something like healing. Yes, there's a breakup in play, but Webster is not documenting the heartbreak of a breakup so much as she's navigating the contours of heartbreak itself. Recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas with her longtime band, Webster is accompanied by Matt Stoessel's arcs of shimmering pedal steel, the plaintive, unhurried drums of Charles Garner, and, occasionally, additional guitarwork from Wilco's Nels Cline. The title of the album refers to Webster's post-breakup compulsion to visit the symphony on a whim, usually buying a ticket at the last possible second.

ROBBY KRIEGER & THE SOUL SAVAGES (CD)
Robby Krieger knows that when you assemble the right bunch of musicians, and trust in the creative process, magic happens. As a founding member of The Doors, the guitarist intuitively understands the beauty of free-flowing collaboration and telepathic group interplay. This album was recorded in an old-school style with a bunch of friends jamming and recording in a relaxed studio setting. Tracked at Robby's own Love Street Studios in Glendale, California, it finds Robby stretching out over cinematic groove music inspired by classic soul, 1960s jazz, blues, rock, psychedelic rock, and beyond. The ten-song album explores the soul-jazz, dirty blues, and noir-ish roots of The Doors while also furthering Robby's career as a jazz-fusion guitarist.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE (CD)

I GOT HEAVEN (CD)
Their new album is the band's most fully realized recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It's a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive. Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band's official lineup. The band changed their entire creative formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton, over slowly crafting tracks at home.

The Umbrellas have swung for the fences with this new album and it's a bold, beautifully executed success.
