The most romantic dig of Jagjaguwar's 30th anniversary: a near-30-year-old cult gem getting its first proper vinyl pressing. This self-titled debut by the band then called South (now South 1998) was hailed as the label's most ECM-like dream object — Pat Metheny-clean chord work and Steve Reich-style minimalist layering, hammered dulcimer and vibraphone drifting over hushed vocals and steady drums. It carries the post-rock soul of Tortoise and The Sea & Cake while eerily foreshadowing today's hazy sounds of ML Buch and Chanel Beads.


Yeah Yeah Yeahs — Hidden in Pieces: Live (at the Royal Albert Hall)
Indie Rock / Live / Orchestral 2026

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Hidden in Pieces: Live (at the Royal Albert Hall)

Twenty-five years in, New York indie-rock greats Yeah Yeah Yeahs deliver an unprecedented live work. Recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall with Jherek Bischoff arranging strings, piano and double bass, it reshapes their wild rock energy into something elegant and intimate. Career highlights from 'Maps,' 'Gold Lion' and 'Zero' through to the recent 'Spitting Off the Edge of the World' are all reimagined, revealing the deepest fragility in Karen O's voice.

Hodge — Big Splash
House / Deep House / Electronic 2026

Hodge

Big Splash

UK dancefloor heavyweight Hodge returns after years with his second full-length — a high-spec house record built purely for DJs and the floor. Inspired by raving until dawn at Glastonbury and lost nights of deep house and garage, it drops the ambient scene-setting for eight confident, elegant, hard-hitting beats. Limited orange vinyl, with cover art by his daughter marking the chaos and joy of new fatherhood.

The Shadow Ring — Hold Onto I.D.
Experimental Rock / Lo-Fi / Post-Punk 1997

The Shadow Ring

Hold Onto I.D.

A restock of an underground legend. The Guardian once picked this for its '101 strangest albums on Spotify' — the only Shadow Ring record streaming and their most accessible, finally pressed to vinyl last August. A mysterious band of rebellious teenagers from southeast England, active a decade, built cult status by word of mouth. This 1997 fourth album marks the peak of their experimental-rock era, turning toward the banality and bleakness of daily life in their most autobiographical work.

The Black Angels — Passover
Psychedelic Rock 2006

The Black Angels

Passover

Twenty years on, the legendary debut from Austin's The Black Angels that defined the standard for 2000s psychedelia. Brooding, heavy drums, hypnotically circling guitars and drone build a dark, hallucinatory soundscape. A 2LP pressing of an essential classic.

Sleep — Hempispheres
Stoner / Doom Metal 2026

Sleep

Hempispheres

Stoner/doom fans, take note: the ice-age progenitors Sleep return with their first new album in eight years. If you recall 2018's The Sciences, this Third Man release is just as undeniably heavy, arriving alongside a major lineup change. Slow, crushing, smoke-wreathed riffs — the Sleep signature. Available on black and colored vinyl.
