April 20 street date. RECORD STORE DAY release. When first released, "Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000" promised an uncharted trip beyond the now generation! And it certainly delivered, as soon as the needle drops onto the opening track, ‘Flameout’, we are in astral freak-out territory with cosmic strings phased beats and displaced fuzz guitars. Despite being released as a budget label's take on the burgeoning psychedelic scene, "Astro Sounds" delivers the real deal. This is thanks in no small part to the central role played by Wrecking Crew guitarist Jerry Cole. Cole had previously been the involved some L.A. session colleagues and cut his own psychedelic album: "The Inner Sounds Of The Id" by 'The Id, so he was the perfect choice to front "Astro Sounds", which can be considered a development from the seminal sounds of the Id. "Astro Sounds" has suffered from some unofficial releases that offer poor audio quality. This Vinyl Exotica reissue is remastered from the original tapes and is presented on coloured vinyl.

March 22 street date. A kaleidoscopic sonic riot, Nandakke? is the hotly anticipated debut album from Japanese-Belgian duo Aili . Featuring ten tracks of surreal electro-pop, joyful electronica, house music and more, Nandakke? is a euphoric album that sees Aili Maruyama and Orson Wouters more than fulfil the promise of their acclaimed debut EP. Recorded over the course of six months in Orson's studio, packed full of vintage synths, Nandakke? captures the spontaneous spirit and creativity of those sessions. Exchanging riffs and rhythms, bouncing sounds and samples off each other, Aili and Orson would let the music take them where it wanted. The result -- an album full of wild ideas and bold, playful experimentation. One minute a pulsing electro-pop number featuring Aili's dad discussing his takoyaki (battered octopus) recipe, the next an explosive high energy workout song like "Up & Down." Whether Aili's singing about the language she invented with her father over the years to bridge the gap between them, the idiosyncratic Japanese relationship to fashion, or riffing on children's playground songs, the result is a remarkable album that defies easy categorization.

April 19 street date. Two of the deepest thinkers in reggae music, Vaughn Benjamin and Chronixx, trade reflections on their collaboration, 'Black Carbon.' Originally released on the 2021 album 'Polarities,' the song is available for the first time as a vinyl single, backed by its dub version. Adorned with the swirling flute of Sheldon Bernard (Beres Hammond, Harmony House) and David Pransky’s brittle, Kora-like mandolin, the twin reggae intellects, with their uniquely delicate voices, introspect on how 'all ah we forward from the same carbon.'The song's message juxtaposes the unity that binds us with a critique of the prevailing narratives and structures that weaken this bond. It underscores the universal truth that we all originate from the same elemental blackness—a truth mirrored throughout humanity and the entire spectrum of creation. Yet, it pointedly highlights how this shared essence is often unrecognized or undervalued in the social and political realms, especially for nations and diasporas connected by the original human hue. The A-side vocal mix is followed by Tippy I’s lavish, questing dub, bringing the instrumentation to the fore. Produced by Vaughn and Zion I Kings. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 19 street date. Two lyrical and spiritual forces meet, as Akae Beka and Ivorian veteran Tiken Jah Fakoly awaken the profound realization that all is inherently blessed, encouraging us to accept life as it unfolds. Produced by Zion I Kings, Everything Bless is a gentle yet powerful reminder to embrace the present moment, cherish the divine connection with our spiritual kin, and nurture inner peace and contentment. Vaughn Benjamin meditates on the need for both determination and trust, while the ancient voiced Tiken sings in Bambara, over Mamadou Sidiki Diabate’s cascading Kora, reassuring that Jah will guide. The accompanying dub version pares down drums and vocals, maintaining the same sense of joy. Taken from 2021’s album Polarities, Everything Bless is released as a seven-inch vinyl single for the first time on via Before Zero Records. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 19 street date. Sagacious reggae lyricist Vaughn Benjamin’s words are particularly cutting during Sow And The Reap, the final recording of Vaughns immense catalog of works with I Grade Records. Produced by Zion I Kings, and taken from 2021’s album Polarities, Sow And The Reap folds topics of political dominance, mass migration, and injustice into a thought provokingly coherent whole. The song brims with Vaughn’s characteristic dual-meaning wordplay, using evocative metaphors of nature and agriculture to illuminate global policy. Sow And The Reap’s timeless lyrical principles are matched by its inexorable reggae rhythm, featuring hefty, programmed drums by Romain “Teflon Zincfence” Arnett, and sombre trombone and space age synth, both supplied by much missed multi-instrumentalist Drew Keys. Backed by its correspondingly haunting dub. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 19 street date. Bizou, the first studio effort by singer-songwriter and producer Alexandre Fournier under the moniker Alix Fernz, is at times immersive and vibrant, at times scathing and shrill, built upon the unlikely accord between candid inspiration and claustrophobic production. Admittedly challenging and austere at first listen, the record’s psychoactive grooves nonetheless emanate pure romanticism, the Montréal artist unsuspectedly commemorating the very fabric of his everyday life as well as its main actors. On this introductory album, Alix Fernz voluntarily forgoes the Cartesian formulas (verses, choruses, bridges, etcetera) of pop songwriting, rather opting for a serpentine prose where progressive musical pieces are seamlessly sequenced, effortlessly transitioning from post-punk to synthwave to hypnagogic pop. Throughout its 32 minutes, Bizou depicts, through honest and anchored lyrics, a red-lit reality, the scene for nocturnal musings ranging from petty fantasies all the way to lurid nightmares. Ingeniously mixed by music wizard Emmanuel Éthier (Choses Sauvages, Corridor, P’tit Belliveau, etc.), the long-player also features inspired contributions from Vincent Lemay (bass), Olivier Cousineau (drums), Samuel Gendron (piano on “Fleur en polyéthylène” & “Bizou”), Nora Mejdouli (vocals on “Rouge à lèvres”) et Samuel Hampell (saxophone on “Double face”).

April 19 street date. "Monolith" is the second studio album by the British crust punk band Amebix, originally released in 1987 and now made available again by Back On Black on limited edition blood red vinyl. Formed as "The Band With No Name", Amebix's original run was from 1978 to 1987, during which time they released three EPs and two full-length LPs. Shortly after its release, Amebix disbanded, and "Monolith" would be their final studio album until they reunited in 2008. By being one of the first bands to blend anarcho-punk and heavy metal music, Amebix are often cited as one of the key bands that helped to create the crust punk genre. Such notable bands as Sepultura, Neurosis, and Deviated Instinct have paid homage to the band. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

March 29 street date. Kaleida are the transatlantic duo whose darkly mystic soundworld finds glimmers of hope in the disquiet. Spanning an ocean, the pair have nurtured a long distance partnership that withstands the shifting patterns of life. Kaleida first came to international renown in 2014, when their single "Think" went viral overnight and was featured in the soundtrack for the Keanu Reeves film, "John Wick". Their debut album "Tear The Roots" arrived in 2017 and crystallised the pair's moody pop aesthetic, which merges Christina Wood's sylph-like, operatic vocals with Cicely Goulder's neo-Noir electronica. The record earned the duo their second spot in a film soundtrack, this time for "Atomic Blonde" with a tender take on Nena's 1980s anti-war classic "99 Luftballons". It was followed in 2020 by the pair's second album "Odyssey", dubbed "a consummate work of electronic artistry". Their new album "In Arms" is a record that leans into a near transcendent spiritualism, where their minimalist production conceals a raw, celestial power. With a departure from their previously insular way of working, they invited other musicians into the production process, most notably producer Johan Hugo (Self Esteem, M.I.A, Skepta).

April 19 street date. Reissue of this cult minimalist pop album by Japanese singer songwriter Ai Aso, originally released in 2014 on Ideologic Organ. Tokyo's Ai Aso is a Japanese psychedelic pop singer-songwriter whose work has a whisper-thin acid folk quality to it. She started performing as a solo singer around 2000. Her solo work, infrequent collaborations with White Heaven members You Ishihara and Michio Kurihara, Yurayura Teikoku, and Boris bring a level of fragility and hypnotism to the stage recalling lost memories, small flavors of COIL and serial playing on the verge of evaporation. As for her recent activities, she has performed on bills together with Sunn O))), Boris, Masaki Batoh (Ghost), Touri Kudoh, Mark Fry, Simon Finn, etc. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 19 street date. Limited edition LP reissue of this cult minimalist pop album by Japanese singer songwriter Ai Aso, originally released in 2020 on Ideologic Organ. Ai Aso's immaculately crafted form of minimalist pop music skirts the edges of tensity with the manner and with the skill of a tight rope walker, calmly balancing repeatedly at every step, with a combination of surety and the risk of a slip, a fall, and an unknown uncoiling of events. Aso's capacity to capture, or inspire, the tension and attention from within the listener and observer are quite pronounced. At Aso's concerts, the performance constantly teeters near the brink, a sharpened awareness in the hall emerges from all observing, with the will of that most delicate balance. On "The Faintest Hint" she brings a meta level to the proceedings, the dream of a singer in a bright sunlit room in the centre of the density of the society, simply and precisely searching for single ideas, single tones, a sense of sensuality and even a dream of a grandeur (rock dream) emerge. A stillness prevails, even a sharp set of instances of dreaming, melancholia, nostalgia - or even saudade. Voir tous les titres de cet artiste

April 19 street date. Like all bands that meld metal's numerous disparate incarnations, Vancouver's Atræ Bilis are not easily pigeonholed. Death metal, atmospheric dissonance, tech brutality and much more are all thrown into the Atræ Bilis meat grinder coalescing beautifully and disturbingly into their own signature fusion like a perfectly functioning innovative machine. On their second album "Aumicide", Atræ Bilis have taken axiomatic strides in expanding the scope of their elegantly perplexing melange of incinerating invocations. Sounding both crushingly concrete and slickly organic, the band amputates all boundaries, injecting cyberdyne slams, serrated inscrutability and unfettered new magnitudes of vocal abuse. Conceptually as committed as it is musically, "Aumicide" tells of a test specimen subject to experiments in faith removal by intromitting simulations of hell to sever the self from the multiverse, resulting in the genesis of a new era; an egregore engineered by an absolute godlessness. Produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson of Cryptopsy, the massive production on "Aumicide" utterly pulverizes, elevating the Canadian power to uncharted extremities of deadly heaviness.

April 19 street date. Atrás del Cosmos were a central force in Mexico City's creative arts community, and often considered the first free jazz group in the country. Founded by a trio composed of pianist Ana Ruiz, percussionist Evry Mann, and saxophonist Henry West, the ensemble was prolific in mentoring a generation of improvisers, cultivating an expanded additive roster, and organizing workshops in downtown Mexico City - including inviting Don Cherry to play and instruct on his "organic music" approach in 1977. Despite their central importance to the local scene, Atrás was rarely recorded and had a scant international presence, leaving behind just a single cassette before their disbandment. Now issued on LP for the first time, "Cold Drinks, Hot Dreams" is a red-hot recording documenting the core group plus double-bassist Claudio Enriquez performing live in 1980 - a delirious improvisation with high peaks and low valleys, sucking in an amalgam of influences including New York loft style, Mexican folk music, and the surrealism of Alejandro Jodorowsky into its heady gravitational pull.

April 20 street date. RECORD STORE DAY release. The now legendary Average White Band tore up the rule book and conquered the US, UK, and international charts with a series of hits between 1974 and 1980. AWB's repertoire has been a source of inspiration and influence for many R&B acts and they are one of the most sampled bands in history, remaining relevant today, continuing to reach new generations of younger audiences. Snoop Dogg, Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, TLC, Rick Ross, will.i.am, and Mark Ronson, amongst countless others, have all borrowed sections of their grooves. Recently discovered tapes that went missing from the mastering studio in 1974 contain the long-lost concert at London's Rainbow Theatre, when AWB supported Billy Cobham. As there aren't any multi-tracks, nothing has been altered from the live performances. This rare and historic live recording is the only live performance that captures AWB's original drummer, Robbie McIntosh, who died in tragic circumstances just as "AWB" and its lead single ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ started to break the charts worldwide.
