Leaves Turn Inside You (25th Anniversary Edition)
Recorded in a run-down farmhouse basement, it pairs thrift-store synth tones and monotone chanting with layered walls of broken guitar and a low, heavy bass line. The result is suffocating, and that worn-out sound made it a one-of-a-kind punk holy grail at the turn of the millennium. The 25th-anniversary edition is remastered from the original tapes, comes in an embossed silver-foil sleeve and includes a 12"x24" replica poster.
Living Things
Linkin Park's fifth studio album, reissued by Warner on red smoke-colored vinyl.
F1 The Album
A gold-vinyl restock of the soundtrack to the film F1. Its 17 tracks feature Doja Cat, Don Toliver, Peggy Gou, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, ROSÉ, Roddy Ricch, Dom Dolla and more.
Rabbit Trap (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
The score to the folk-horror film Rabbit Trap: a musician couple moves to the Welsh countryside to gather sound, records a voice no human has heard before and stirs up an unknown force deep in an ancient forest. Colombian experimental artist Lucrecia Dalt weaves together field recordings, faint electronics and an uneasy, eerie atmosphere until nature and the supernatural become hard to tell apart. Not one to play alone late at night.
The City Portal Will Be Open (打開城邦的門)
Debut album from a Wuhan band that plays long-form instrumental psychedelic rock. It draws on 70s space rock, krautrock and 80s sci-fi visuals, moving from airy melodies to sudden bursts of guitar noise, with horns and hypnotic repeated rhythms. The songs came out of life on Wuhan's edges: abandoned school buildings and improvised sessions by Tangxun Lake. A must for fans of Ash Ra Tempel, Hawkwind, CAN and Acid Mothers Temple. Limited to 300 CDs in a 7-inch six-panel gatefold.
再想想 (Take Another Moment)
Thirteen years after An He Qiao Bei, Song Dongye gathers what the years have taught him into Take Another Moment. More than 20 instruments and top jazz players back his more mature, deeper songwriting. After the first Japanese 2LP pressing sold out, a small batch has come back in.
Michael
Killer Mike, one half of Run The Jewels, tells his own story on the solo album that won three Grammys. Guests include André 3000, Future, Young Thug, Ty Dolla $ign, CeeLo Green, El-P and more. This is a THT-exclusive colored 2LP, limited to 300 copies worldwide.
1999
A true Brooklyn old soul raised on 90s hip-hop legends, Joey Bada$$ formed Pro Era in high school and released his first mixtape, 1999, in 2012. That tape started his climb to the top of New York rap. It sold out on arrival four years ago and is getting scarce overseas, so this month brings a restock.
12 Conversations
Recorded in 2022 and closely tied to Sakamoto's 12, these 12 musical fragments continue the pair's partnership that began with Vrioon. Sakamoto's mature piano tone and delicate melodies blend with Alva Noto's precise electronics in shifting, gently breathing pieces, like 12 meditative conversations with himself. The specially coated sleeve was designed by Carsten Nicolai.
Heptaméron (七日譚)
Debut full-length from a young five-piece Taiwanese heavy psych band, released by the French label WV Sorcerer Productions. Over thick walls of guitar, its nine tracks blend noise rock, post-rock, free jazz and fantasy storytelling, like a psychedelic ritual descending into dungeons and the abyss. The closer, 'Requiem', fuses tearing saxophone with chiptune. Guests include LILLIE CREATURES and Li Zenghui, and Soichiro Nakamura handled mastering.
A new album from Norwegian musician Carmen Villain on Smalltown Supersound. It draws on Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening and Apichatpong Weerasethakul's film Memoria, and its subject is memory as it fades and changes shape. Flute, clarinet and trumpet recordings are taken apart, rebuilt and run through dub production, piling up deep low end and long reverb tails with a hint of Jon Hassell's 'Fourth World' mystery. Instead of leaning on melody, it uses layering, silence and space to let sounds rise and fade away.
