Kicking off our list is Kali Uchis’ new album, “Orquideas.” The artist was inspired by the alluring and mystic orchid, which is Colombia’s national flower. Uchis’s new album features fresh energy and aims to redefine the way we view Latinas in music. You can pre-order the Indie Exclusive Silver Metallic Vinyl on Rough Trade’s website.
Next up is Slift’s new album “Ilion,” a towering rock music work that merges the intensity of metal and the guitar heroics of psych rock with post-rock’s epic sense of scale. Slift’s utter ferocity is sure to leave listeners in good hands. Pre-order the Rough Trade Exclusive Marbled Yellow/Engine Fire Vinyl Limited to 500 Copies.
Green Day’s “Saviors” marks their 14th studio album. The punk rock band remains devoted to their craft, which fuels their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre. The album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles under the ear of Rob Cavallo, Green Day’s longtime friend and collaborator. The Indie Exclusive Magenta & Black Vinyl with 24×36 poster immediately grabs your attention.
The Smile’s new album “Wall Of Eyes” follows their 2022 debut LP “A Light For Attracting Attention.” It was recorded between Oxford and Abbey Road Studios, and The London Contemporary Orchestra contributed string arrangements. You can pre-order a copy of their Indie Exclusive Sky Blue Vinyl on Rough Trade’s website.
Future Islands’ seventh album, “People Who Aren’t There Anymore,” follows “As Long As You Are.” The album heralds a new chapter for the band, which formed nearly two decades ago, challenging themselves and each other. You can pre-order the Clear Vinyl version on Rough Trade’s website.
Ty Segall’s “Three Bells” features a fifteen-song cycle that takes listeners on a journey to the center of the self. The album reaches new levels as Segall pushes the walls further and further in his writing and playing to cast light into the most opaque depths. Pre-order the album on Drag City’s website.
J Mascis began writing “What Do We Do Now” during the pandemic’s waning days. Working from his own Bisquiteen Studio, Mascis started writing tunes on acoustic that have a different dynamic than the stuff he creates for “Dino.” Pre-order the Loser Edition Clear Purple Vinyl on Sub Pop’s website.
Last but not least, Brittany Howard’s “What Now” is a revelatory new album with a double meaning. The lineup is a mystery, but the only constant is that you never know what’s going to happen next. The Lemonaid Vinyl version is available for pre-order on Rough Trade’s website.
Overall, the diversity and creativity of these new music releases are set to take 2024 by storm. Get ready, there’s something for everyone
