August 26
Post Malone's early mixtape, long known as the 'Lost Tapes,' finally gets its first official release a decade on. With collaborations from Larry June, 2 Chainz, Lil Yachty and Jaden Smith, it captures the raw shape of his pre-fame sound.
The Iconic Joia Records Remixes
A look back at the early Joia Records remixes that shaped the late EDM genius Avicii. Reissued by Music On Vinyl on 180g, now in a red-marble variant, collecting his formative remix work from the Tim Berg era and beyond.
The Boy and the Heron: Symphonic Suite
Joe Hisaishi's wholly rewritten symphonic suite drawn from his Oscar-winning score for Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron — not a soundtrack rearrangement but a standalone concert work. Hisaishi himself takes the piano solo alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this world-premiere recording, out on Deutsche Grammophon.
Stadium Arcadium (20th Anniversary Edition)
The chart-topping double album that crowned both the UK and US charts, reissued as a limited 4LP set for its 20th anniversary. Sprawling across funk, rock and ballads, it remains one of the band's most ambitious statements.
Be Quiet
Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær builds nine pieces around the quiet of different cities, weaving jazz, ambient and electronics — with Alva Noto guesting. The trumpet forms a calm, singular center while sparse electronics open up the space around it.
PLEASURES
Korean dream-pop flagship ADOY's second studio album from late 2023, carrying on their alluring, languid, neon-lit city aesthetic. Now issued as a Taiwan-exclusive clear vinyl limited to 300 copies.
Les Chants de l'Aurore
French blackgaze pioneers Alcest's 2024 peak. After five years' gestation, mastermind Neige fuses ethereal beauty with ferocious tension in what's hailed as the band's most beautiful and psychedelic work yet. This is the new Nuclear Blast jewelcase CD pressing.
琴線
A new work from Japanese accordionist Yoshiaki Sato, who has played on records by Shiina Ringo and Otomo Yoshihide. Using the accordion's breath and timbre, he crafts a slow, floating album that reinterprets Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'Tong Poo,' Haruomi Hosono's 'Kaze wo Atsumete' and even Coltrane's 'Naima,' alongside originals.
The latest from Antonio Loureiro, a figurehead of Brazil's new-generation Minas jazz, and his most electronics-forward record yet. Acoustic instruments, electronic beats and percussion weave into a living, organic groove, with guests including Tiganá Santana and David Binney. Released on Japan's THINK! Records.
