Being Funny In A Foreign Language
A restock of the clear-vinyl pressing of The 1975's fifth album. The 2026 repress differs from the 2022 original in one way: Matty Healy pulled 'Human Too' from the tracklist late last year, saying it's closer to what he wanted. Co-produced with Jack Antonoff and recorded with the band playing live together in the studio, it trims the arrangements down from its predecessor and is full of hummable melodies.
Meteora
Linkin Park's landmark second album Meteora, in a translucent gold-and-red splatter vinyl edition — in stock now, with restocks to follow.
Best Of Fujii Kaze 2020-2024
Fujii Kaze's 2020–2024 best-of on vinyl, featuring signature songs like 'Matsuri,' 'Workin' Hard,' 'Kirari,' 'Hana,' 'Shinunoga E-Wa' and 'Michiteyuku.' The third shipment sold out on arrival; licensed from Universal Japan, with the next restock expected in January.
Jackboys
The self-titled vinyl from Jackboys, Travis Scott's Cactus Jack label collective, restocked from the last overseas inventory. Features the 'Highest In The Room' remix with Rosalía and Lil Baby, plus 'Gang Gang,' 'Out West' and 'Gatti.'
華麗なる熱唱《中国語》
Teresa Teng's Mandarin-language showcase from her Japanese Polydor years, reissued in Japan's Pure LP format: 45rpm triple LP on 180g pure vinyl, limited to 1,000 individually numbered sets worldwide, with lyrics, translations and liner notes.
華麗なる熱唱《中国語 II》
The second volume of Teresa Teng's Mandarin 'Kareinaru Nesshou' series, likewise issued in Japan's Pure LP format: 45rpm triple LP on 180g pure vinyl, limited to 1,000 numbered sets worldwide, with lyrics, translations and liner notes.
The new album from aus, the solo project of Japanese composer, producer and curator Yasuhiko Fukuzono, builds hazy, poetic ambient around sampled voices with piano, synths and strings — some passages recall the wabi-sabi of Meitei. Sources include social-media clips, field recordings and heavily processed takes of his own voice, extending Japan's environmental-music tradition to sketch imagined spaces. A former speech therapist, aus saw aphasia patients suddenly sing lyrics on hearing familiar melodies, which reshaped how he thinks about sound and memory. Released by Germany's Squama.
