Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Total Feedback 2026
Tokyo Koenji HIGH's monthly shoegaze night Total Feedback returns after two years with its sixth compilation. Twelve acts from Kanto, Kansai, Hong Kong and Taipei — including Taiwan's blu mush, Hong Kong's Tofu Kingdom, and a bittersweet song by cruyff in the bedroom's Hata Yusuke for idol group 水槽とクレマチス. An hour-long blast of feedback that maps where Asian shoegaze is right now.
Music, Fashion, Film
Charli XCX's new LP Music, Fashion, Film drops 7/24. Single-pocket jacket with a die-cut dress sleeve, plus a 4×6 postcard and a 22.75×34 newsprint poster.
Songs About Jane (Limited Edition)
Maroon 5's debut Songs About Jane returns on limited color vinyl, with all twelve tracks including 'This Love,' 'She Will Be Loved' and 'Sunday Morning.' 6/19 release.
the brilliant green
Late-90s J-rock youth distilled. The brilliant green's self-titled debut gets its first vinyl pressing — a 2LP fully limited edition, 45 RPM, 180g.
再想想 (Think Again)
Thirteen years after An He Qiao Bei, Song Dongye returns with a self-produced, self-arranged opus — over twenty instruments, top Chinese jazz players, lyrics elevated to modern poetry. Behind a cavalier surface he reads the world clearly; thirteen years of life distilled into strong tea and stronger liquor.
K-POPS! (Music from and Inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture)
The soundtrack to Anderson .Paak's Netflix directorial debut K-POPS!, with a stacked crossover lineup: G-DRAGON, aespa, JID, DEAN, NMIXX, SEVENTEEN, ATEEZ and (G)I-DLE all join in. Seventeen tracks fold K-pop, R&B, hip hop and soul into one party.
OST My Collection Of Anime Songs (Crystal Clear Vinyl Edition)
A collection of Aina The End's anime theme songs on Black Screen's crystal clear vinyl. Includes 'Kakumei Douchuu' (Dandadan OP), 'Daijoubu' (Moonrise), tracks from Mononoke The Movie, 'Aikotoba' (The Apothecary Diaries), and 'Red:Birthmark'/'Houseki No Hibi' (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury).
FUKUSHIMA / 福島
A new sextet album from Tokyo saxophonist/flutist Shinsuke Fujieda, distilling the core of contemporary modal and spiritual jazz. The third vinyl pressing features a newly designed obi, while the Complete Edition CD adds uncut versions of the LP's five tracks plus four previously unreleased songs.
Simply Baroque
Yo-Yo Ma plays in Baroque style on gut strings and Baroque bow, with Ton Koopman conducting (and on harpsichord/organ) leading the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. Bach cantata transcriptions and two Boccherini cello concertos. Music On Vinyl limited 500 numbered copies on blue vinyl, 180g 2LP.
Stars (The Best Of 1992-2002)
The Cranberries' 1992–2002 anthology on 2LP — from 'Dreams,' 'Linger,' 'Zombie' and 'Ode To My Family' through 'Salvation,' 'Promises' and 'Animal Instinct.'
The third album from English large ensemble Ancient Infinity Orchestra, inspired by Edo-era haiku poet Yasuhara Teishitsu and his attempts to capture beauty too profound for words. Flute, piano and brass meet across a wide open soundscape; lead track 'Akshay' carries the spiritual glow forward. The title nods to poet Moor Mother at We Out Here 2024: 'It's always about love, it's always about liberation.' Out on Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Records.
