Monday, November 2, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Texas Sun
Khruangbin and soul singer Leon Bridges' 2020 collaborative EP blends psychedelic funk, soul, R&B and Texan atmosphere; Bridges was the first vocalist ever to front a Khruangbin record. Its four songs are bright and warm, like a sunlit Texas road trip.
Texas Moon
The 2022 follow-up to Texas Sun: five songs from Khruangbin and Leon Bridges that carry the mood from day into night, quieter and more nocturnal. Heard back to back with Texas Sun, the day-and-night pairing feels complete.
Muse
John Legend's new album Muse is steered almost entirely by Pharrell Williams, who produced, co-wrote and guests on it, with rap duo Clipse also featured. It fuses gospel, doo-wop, soul, African rhythms and hip-hop over lavish horn and string arrangements, Legend's nuanced voice and personal storytelling earning comparisons to a 'Black James Bond' cinematic aesthetic.
Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix's debut studio album in Sony's two-disc edition, featuring Purple Haze, Hey Joe, The Wind Cries Mary and Foxy Lady — its importance needs no introduction. This restock comes at a friendly price in limited quantities.
CTRL
After the record-low price on SZA's S.O.S. double LP, her debut album CTRL gets the same treatment in this restock: a gatefold green double colored vinyl with booklet, the edition many fans have been wishing for.
Fever XXV
A 25th-anniversary clear-vinyl edition of Kylie Minogue's classic Fever, with special visuals and an extra art card. It holds Can't Get You Out of My Head (later covered by the Flaming Lips), In Your Eyes and Love at First Sight, while Come Into My World won her the 2004 Grammy for Best Dance Recording.
puffette
Thai indie singer-songwriter pami's debut album puffette, in a colored-vinyl edition commemorating her first headline show in Taiwan. Opening with the sweet kiss me blue and closing on the comforting let it out, it drifts lightly between bedroom pop, R&B and city pop.
Slipknot
Slipknot's 1999 self-titled debut, restocked on limited lemon-yellow colored vinyl — the record where the masked Iowa nine-piece first laid down their ferocious sound.
Post-rock legends Slint's 1989 debut Tweez is back in stock — the 2024 Touch and Go reissue, remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Studio from the original analog tapes. The Louisville, Kentucky quartet's minimal, precise, tension-filled playing sounded like nothing else at the time. Recorded by Steve Albini, Tweez is rawer and weirder than the later classic Spiderland, already showing the seeds of their influence on post-rock and math rock.
