Sunday, July 5, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Supergirl (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
A collaboration between Mutant, WaterTower Music and DC Studios brings Claudia Sarne's original score for Supergirl to physical colored vinyl for the first time. Cover art by Bilquis Evely, with a Superman design on side D.
Hangover feat. Andr / Meant to Be
A first collaboration between 20-year-old Hokkaido singer-songwriter REJAY and rising Taiwanese artist Andr — the single "Hangover," sung across Mandarin, English and Japanese, gets its vinyl debut. REJAY's voice drew Nulbarich's JQ to produce; the B-side carries "Meant to Be."
dollhouse
A rising New York indie band who've opened for Wet Leg and English Teacher and been tipped as one of the year's most-watched new acts. Singer-poet Julia Vassallo has a rare, languid low register set against literary lyrics and churning noise-pop. The label points fans of Sonic Youth, Pixies and The Wedding Present straight to it. Debut pressings tend to run small — don't wait.
Meditations
A rite of passage for jazz listeners: released on Impulse! in 1966, Meditations marks Coltrane's turn toward spiritual free jazz and the last full gathering of the classic quartet — McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones — joined by Pharoah Sanders' tenor and second drummer Rashied Ali. Wild and devout at once. This is the 2026 Verve Vault all-analog (AAA) reissue, cut from the original tapes by Ryan K. Smith on 180g.
Этажи (Etazhi)
A landmark of the post-punk revival — icy synths, machine drums and a low, addictive Russian baritone wrapped in heavy Soviet aesthetics; dark yet danceable, melancholy yet unstoppable. This pressing comes on cola-bottle clear vinyl, gorgeous held to the light and a perfect match for the record's frostbitten mood. It sells out every time it's restocked.
Insomniac Doze (Anniversary Edition)
A Temporary Residence cornerstone: the 20th-anniversary edition of Insomniac Doze by Japanese legends envy. In 2006 this record dissolved the borders of underground genre, folding post-hardcore, screamo, shoegaze, ambient minimalism and punk into one cinematic epic — now a landmark of post-rock and heavy music. Newly remastered by Josh Bonati, in a deluxe gatefold with full English/Japanese lyrics. Limited metallic-gold vinyl.
Glera
From New York soul institution Big Crown, with the label's all-star cast (if you own El Michels Affair, you know). Keyboardist Marco Benevento — recently onstage with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, and a hand in Clairo and Leon Bridges records — makes his Big Crown debut. Jazz at the base, elastic soul-and-reggae bass, and Italian film-score melody: cinematic without affectation. On limited cola-bottle clear vinyl.
Beyond her Drag City albums and scores for Ryusuke Hamaguchi's films, Eiko Ishibashi has quietly amassed collaborations. This 2021 set with Tokyo jazz pianist Hiroshi Minami — first released only on Bandcamp — finally reaches vinyl. Minami's playing is delicate and lyrical, with a touch of Bill Evans. After an opening piano note decays, reverb, glitch, water and bell tones and half-heard voices surface, as if in a half-dreaming jazz bar. Released by German label Some Fine Legacy.
