Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Daughter From Hell
Gracie Abrams' third album, Daughter From Hell, announced as a 2LP release for July 17. No further details have been disclosed.
Stories From Another Time 1982-1988
A long-out-of-print compilation from Angolan guitar legend Mario Rui Silva, returning in half-speed mastered 2LP after collector demand drove secondhand prices sky-high. Capturing his most captivating recordings from 1982 to 1988 — warm, elegant, and deeply nostalgic.
Are You Driving Me Crazy?
Led by Sooyoung Park (ex-Bitch Magnet), Seam were slowcore's most distinctive voice — trafficking in cold and loneliness rather than technique. Sparse guitar and bass build to breaking point before a noise wall hits you square in the chest. Their most mature work, on Touch and Go (1995).
Songs In A Minor (25th Anniversary Edition)
The 25th anniversary edition of Alicia Keys' landmark debut — a fusion of classical, jazz, and soul that swept five Grammy Awards. Presented in a deluxe gatefold with semi-transparent orange marble vinyl, with two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original sessions. Limited edition.
Sierra Ferrell Live at Third Man Records
Grammy winner Sierra Ferrell recorded direct-to-acetate at Third Man's legendary Blue Room — no editing, no digital correction. Ten live highlights including In Dreams and American Dreaming, pressed on opaque red vinyl. Sold out on Bandcamp before official release.
Adapt
Sakanaction's eighth studio album Adapt (2022) receives its first vinyl release. Continuing their evolution across electronic, alt-rock, and J-pop, it marks one of the band's most mature statements. 2LP, releasing July 22.
834.194
Sakanaction's seventh studio album 834.194 (2019) makes its debut on vinyl as a 4LP set. Featuring fan favorites including 'Wasurerarenai no' and 'Shin-Takarajima', one of the band's most ambitious productions. Releasing July 22.
sakanaction
Sakanaction's self-titled fifth album (2013) — a peak in their commercial and artistic arc, balancing crisp pop hooks with electronic texture. 2LP, releasing July 22.

Songs In A Minor (25th Anniversary Edition)
The 25th anniversary edition of Alicia Keys' landmark debut — five Grammys and a generation-defining fusion of classical, jazz, and soul. Gatefold sleeve, semi-transparent orange marble vinyl, two bonus tracks from the original sessions.
The Infamous
Mobb Deep defined East Coast hardcore with their unflinching portrait of Queens street life and human darkness. The Infamous (1995) is their breakthrough — cold, grim, and visceral — now reissued as a 2LP.
Hell On Earth
Picking up from The Infamous, Hell On Earth (1996) is darker and more refined — Havoc's suffocating beats frame Prodigy's bleak street narratives with even greater menace. Essential East Coast 90s hip-hop, reissued as a 2LP.
Metropolis (2001) Original Soundtrack
Toshiyuki Honda's score for Rintaro's landmark 2001 anime Metropolis, released on vinyl for the very first time. A complete 2LP set with the film's beautifully hand-drawn aesthetic, available in both standard black and colored vinyl editions.
Franz Kafka's Amerika
DCPRG's third album (2007), inspired by Kafka's unfinished Amerika — 100+ minutes of 14 players weaving through intricate polyrhythmic structures in dramatic improvisational formations. Their final statement before disbanding, now on 3LP vinyl for the first time from P-VINE Japan.
アイアンマウンテン報告
DCPRG's 2001 debut with an 11-piece lineup deploying dual drum kits and tabla for thunderous polyrhythmic force. Includes a 12-minute, wildly original reimagining of Hendrix's 'Hey Joe'. A P-VINE repress following the 2021 first vinyl edition.
構造與力
Named after philosopher Akira Asada's Structure and Power, this 2003 DCPRG record deploys 14 players in cascading polyrhythms — disorienting yet strangely physical. Their most conceptually ambitious early statement, now on 2LP vinyl for the first time via P-VINE.
Love Is Every Where - Tribute to Pharoah Sanders
Two spiritual jazz legends converge. Wendell Harrison and the Tribe Jazz Ensemble pay tribute to the late Pharoah Sanders (d. 2022), centering the set on Sanders' signature 'Love Is Everywhere'. P-VINE issues this live recording — remastered from original sources — as a full 2LP.
