Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental, supplanting live band sessions for modular synths, Ableton plugins and samplers that channel the frenetic, vibrant spaces she was immersed in, all while spotlighting the acclaimed poetry and lyricism she's beloved for. Reflecting on the making of the record, Parks shares, \"I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed. This record has desire at it's centre. Desire is a life force, it's a wanting, a yearning, a momentum - we are all alive because there is something or someone we want - desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.\" Parks crafted the album with producer Baird (Brockhampton, Kevin Abstract). Their process unfolded between NYC's vibrant, community-rooted nightlife and long, introspective days spent in Baird's downtown loft. The result is Parks' most vulnerable, self-affirming, and euphoric work to date. 140g black 12\" vinyl, Gatefold sleeve, reverse board with spot gloss to the front, 12\" mirri-board inner sleeve, reverse board, Fold out poster and insert","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42497120763989,"sku":"5400863201630","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/arlo-parks-ambiguous-desire-1500x1500.png?v=1780197222"},{"product_id":"tame-impala-currents","title":"Tame Impala - Currents","description":"Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the highly anticipated third full length album from the much loved Australian band.

For the world's biggest pop stars that's an average achievement, but for an upstart indie rock band then writing in a backroad farmhouse on a Canadian island, it represented a staggering proof of connection and widespread resonance. Makes sense, after all: \"Archie, Marry Me\" is a softly stinging, pointedly funny portrait of a common end-of-youth predicament-to wed or not to wed, to involve the state and the possibility of financial ruin when you're already saddled with student loans and just trying to survive. Instantly relatable, it is an anthem about prescribed social expectations and delighting, however noncommittally, in outcast status. Now remastered and reissued with deep cut \"Underneath Us\" to mark a glorious decade of deadpan jangle, Alvvays feels that way from end to end-literally, from the opening stalking-you-with-love anthem \"Adult Diversion\" to the ennui escapism of sci-fi closer \"Red Planet.\" In a little more than 30 minutes, Alvvays give us a song about loving someone to actual death (\"Next of Kin\"), how keeping secrets will destroy what you think you want (\"The Agency Group\"), and another incisive song about the societal demands of love and marriage (\"Atop a Cake\"). When Molly Rankin, Alec O'Hanley, Kerri MacLellan, and Brian Murphy cut these songs with Chad VanGaalen in 2013, long before they had a record deal, they were, in fact, young adults trying to figure out these encroaching exigencies for themselves. Again, these problems don't age; some of us just happen to be lucky enough to age out of them.Little of this would matter if the songs themselves didn't stick, if the melodies weren't as timeless as the topics. But the tension between Alvvays' shimmer and snap and Rankin's knowingly droll delivery connects these numbers to a brilliant and deep rock continuum, from the glories of C86 and the triumphs of Athens in the '80s to Celtic folk's own magnetic candour. Each of these songs lands several hooks apiece: the sparkling drum-machine drift of \"Dives,\" the noise-caked sway of \"The Agency Group,\" and, of course, the half-diffident and half-confident matrimonial plea of \"Archie, Marry Me\" and that pearly guitar lick. Ten years ago or ten years from now, here are ten songs to slip in your pocket and pull out when the decisions of the world seem to swirl like the very guitars that shape them.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526581063765,"sku":"644110049810","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/alvvays-alvvays-10th-anniversary-6573453.jpg?v=1779844207"},{"product_id":"alvvays-antisocialites-clear-with-yellow-splatter","title":"Alvvays - Antisocialites - Clear with Yellow Splatter","description":"Limited 180gm clear with yellow splatter vinyl LP pressing includes digital download.

We wanted to rethink old methods and shed some self-imposed limitations. In the past, we often limited our writing to parts that we could perform live. On 7, we decided to follow whatever came naturally. As a result, there are some songs with no guitar, and some without keyboard. There are songs with layers and production that we could never recreate live, and that is exciting to us. Basically, we let our creative moods, instead of instrumentation, dictate the album's feel. For 7, we built a home studio, and began all of the songs there. Whenever we had a group of 3-4 songs that we were excited about, we would go to a \"proper\" recording studio and finish recording them there, in the process shortening the amount of time between the original idea and the finished song. 7 didn't have a producer in the traditional sense. James Barone, who became our live drummer in 2016, played on the entire record.

After all, a jubilee is a celebration of the passage of time-a festival to usher in the hope of a new era in brilliant technicolor. Zauner's first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; Psychopomp was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while Soft Sounds From Another Planet took the grief she held from her mother's death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world. Jubilee finds Michelle Zauner embracing ambition and, with it, her boldest ideas and songs yet. Inspired by records like Bjork's Homogenic, Zauner delivers bigness throughout - big ideas, big textures, colors, sounds and feelings. At a time when virtually everything feels extreme, Jubilee sets it's sights on maximal joy, imagination, and exhilaration. It is, in Michelle Zauner's words, \"a record about fighting to feel. I wanted to re-experience the pure, unadulterated joy of creation... The songs are about recalling the optimism of youth and applying it to adulthood. They're about making difficult choices, fighting ignominious impulses and honoring commitments, confronting the constant struggle we have with ourselves to be better people.\" Throughout Jubilee, Zauner pours her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details. Joy, change, evolution-these things take real time, and real effort. And Japanese Breakfast is here for it.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526648008789,"sku":"656605152516","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/japanese-breakfast-jubilee-7011298.jpg?v=1779843846"},{"product_id":"japanese-breakfast-soft-sounds-from-another-planet","title":"Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet","description":"Japanese Breakfast's 'Soft Sounds From Another Planet' is less of a concept album about space exploration so much as it is a mood board come to life.

Zauner's voice is capacious; one moment she's serenading the past, the next she's robotically narrating a love story over sleek monochrome, her lyrics more pointed and personal than ever before.

The record spans genre and sound-encompassing the shaggy psychedelic rock of the 1960s and '70s, and the airy sounds of 1990s mod-post-rock-taking listeners on an auditory expedition, as if they're riding in the back of Bear's Filipino jeepney that adorns the album's cover. But Mahal is also an unmistakably Toro y Moi experience, calling back to previous works while charting a new path forward in a way that only Bear can do. Mahal is the latest in an accomplished career for Bear, who's undoubtedly one of the decade's most influential musicians. Since the release of the electronic pop landmark Causers of This in 2009, subsequent records as Toro y Moi have repeatedly shifted the idea of what his sound can be. But there's little in Bear's catalog that will prepare you for the deep-groove excursions on Mahal, his most eclectic record to date. The second the album begins we're immediately transported into the passenger seat, jeep sounds and all, ready for the ride Chaz and company have concocted for us. Seeds of some of Mahal's 13 songs date back to the more explicitly rock-oriented What For? from 2015. MAHAL was mostly completed last year in Bear's Oakland studio with the involvement of a host of collaborators, Sofie Royer and Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ruban Neilson to Neon Indian's Alan Palomo and the Mattson 2. \"I wanted to make a record that featured more musicians on it than any other record of mine,\" he explains. \"To have them live on that record feels grounded, bringing a communal perspective to the table.\" As a result, Mahal is lush and surprising at every turn, from the cool-handed \"The Loop,\" which recalls Sly and the Family Stones, to the elastic psych rock of \"Foreplay\" and the dizzying Mulatu Astatke- recalling of \"Last Year.\" Lyrically, the album zooms in on generational concerns, picking up where the Outer Peace standout \"Freelance\" effectively left off. Bear seems to be surveying the ways in which we connect with technology, media, each other, and what disappears as a result. Cuts like the squishy \"Postman\" and the \"Magazine\" take a deep dive into our relationship with media in a changing digital world. \"It's interesting to see how we adapt to this new age. We're so connected, but we're still missing out on things,\" Bear ruminates while discussing the album's themes. It's not all introspection. Bear cools things down near the album's end with the Mattson 2-featuring \"Millennium,\" a laid-back jam with tricky guitar licks about ringing in new times even when everything else seems upside down. \"It's about enjoying the new year, even when it's been shitty,\" Bear explains. \"There's nothing else to do.\" Finding a sense of joy in the face of adversity is embedded in Mahal's DNA, right down to the jeepney that literally and figuratively brings the music out into the community. \"We know that touring is messed up for now, and large gatherings are a fluke,\" he explains. \"It's about the notion of us going out to the people and bringing the record to them.\" And with the wide-open atmosphere of Mahal, Toro y Moi stands to connect with more listeners than ever before.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526699454549,"sku":"656605160115","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/toro-y-moi-mahal-2430465.jpg?v=1779843606"},{"product_id":"toro-y-moi-mahal-silver","title":"Toro Y Moi - Mahal (Silver)","description":"Limited silver colored vinyl LP pressing.

Recorded in the Autumn of 2014 in an intense 10 day session at Head Gap studios in Melbourne, the album finally brings Barnett's incisive vision into stark, unflinching focus; her wit sharpened to a knife edge, her melodies more infectious and addictive than ever. 'Sometimes I Just Sit and Think, and Sometimes I just Sit' cements Barnett's standing as one of the most distinctive voices in indie rock. Mixing witty, often hilarious observations with devastating self-assessment over a beguiling collection of songs that reveals her as an ambitious songwriter with an ear for clever turns of phrase and an eye for story-song details that are literate without being pretentious. Depressing rentals and dead foxes, go-nowhere relationships and dead end suburbs, even her own fears, doubts and insecurities - nothing escapes Barnett's caustic sense of humour. If 'The Double EP' announced the arrival of a major new talent, 'Sometimes' consolidates that promise and marks Courtney Barnett as one of the best and most unique voices around, period.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526710923349,"sku":"858275022117","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/courtney-barnett-sometimes-i-sit-think-sometimes-i-just-sit-6562330.jpg?v=1779843547"},{"product_id":"cuco-para-mi","title":"Cuco - Para Mi","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release.

This collection draws from the neo psychedelic movement that took hold in California during the early to mid 80's, one that melded the psychedelia, country, garage rock, avant-garde and pop of the 60's with the DIY ethos of the then burgeoning punk scene, a hypnotic amalgamation of sound that came in staunch contrast to the blown out sonic excesses of the time. Twisted Dream Machine takes you on a trip from the city to the desert, as the kaleidoscope of noise drifts from the The Dream Syndicate's Velvet Underground inspired take on Crazy Horse and The Three O'Clock's chiming baroque powerpop, to Rain Parade's dreamy Beatlesesque melodies and the Bangles hook-laden Love inspired pop. Also featured are the wondrous sounds of Green On Red, The Long Ryder's, Game Theory, True West, Thin White Rope and others highly worth your attention. If you are not familiar with some of the bands here, you will surely question how that is possible. The Paisley Underground, if anything, encapsulated a certain musical mindset, an outlook where the past and the future would collide in the moment. This thread would bond the bands, yet each honed it's own sound in a twisted incarnation of the seeds planted two decades earlier. Whilst the 'scene' did remain contained, it's influence did in fact spread throughout mainstream culture as the Bangles stuck a chord into the heart of MTV, whilst Prince took inspiration from the movement in his own songwriting and the naming of Paisley Park, as well as signing The Three O'Clock to his label and writing one of the Bangles biggest hits. As you listen to the tracks on Twisted Dream Machine you will be reminded that there is still music left to discover and inspire, this compilation is aimed to hopefully delight longtime fans, as well as ignite a passion for those new to the bands. The Paisley Underground was the sound of neo psychedelic rock, it was subterranean pop... in the classic sense, it was alternative rock before the term existed, a distillation of the fundamentals present at the dawn of rock 'n' roll, with a twist. The bands of the Paisley Underground may have been writing out of their own time, but as you listen to them in today's context these songs should be heard as landmarks, rather than throwbacks. After all, nothing this good should stay underground. This 2xLP comes on limited edition coloured vinyl, it is housed in a gloss laminated outer sleeve with colour inner sleeves and contains a large fold-out poster with unseen photos and liner notes by Lisa Fancher of Frontier. Also available on CD with Gloss laminated Sleeve and Fold Out Poster.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526758633557,"sku":"5053760119647","price":56.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/twisted-dream-machine-the-paisley-underground-twisted-dream-machine-the-paisley-underground-9654777.jpg?v=1779843365"},{"product_id":"frost-children-hearth-room","title":"Frost Children - Hearth Room","description":"Double silver and gold colored vinyl LP pressing.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526811979861,"sku":"850054123145","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/frost-children-hearth-room-2466054.jpg?v=1779843125"},{"product_id":"frost-children-sister","title":"Frost Children - Sister","description":"Frost Children - \"SISTER\".

And if you can't precisely define the band, that's the point. Frontman Ian Richard Devaney has become prodigious in expanding what synthesizer-driven music can evoke, such that his output is as much an extrasensory journey as it is an all-too-human destination. With that experience in mind, he wrote the band's fourth album - the spectral, spacious Dance Called Memory - in the most humble of ways: chipping away at melancholia by sitting around and strumming his guitar. Nation of Language's first two albums, Introduction, Presence (2020), and A Way Forward (2021), came as pandemic godsends: gorgeous, relatable soundtracks to our collective doldrums. But it was their last LP, Strange Disciple (2023), that catapulted the group from cultural standouts to critical darlings, with the album being named Rough Trade's Album of the Year. With that release, Pitchfork wrote that the band \"are learning what it means to get bigger and better.\" This is Devaney's calling: soulfully translating individual despair into a comforting, collective mourning. The single \"Now That You're Gone,\" which radiates and reverberates with a devastating wistfulness, was inspired by witnessing his godfather's tragic death from ALS, and his parents' role as caretakers for this ailing friend. At it's heart, the song is a reflection of how friends can be there for each other, and also highlights a theme throughout the record: the pain and lost promise of friendships that fall apart. On Dance Called Memory, the band once again collaborated with friend and Strange Disciple producer Nick Millhiser (LCD Soundsystem, Holy Ghost!). \"What's so great about Nick is his ability to make us feel like we don't need to do what might be expected of us,\" says synth player Aidan Noell, who, along with bassist Alex MacKay, rounds out the Nation of Language lineup. They imbued Dance Called Memory with a shifted palette - sampling chopped-up drum breaks on \"I'm Not Ready for the Change\" for a touch of Loveless-era My Bloody Valentine, or smashing all of the percussion of \"In Another Life\" through a synthesizer to cast a shade of early-2000s electronic music. Ultimately, the hope was to weave raw vulnerability and humanity into a synth-heavy album. \"There is a dichotomy between the Kraftwerk school of thought and the Brian Eno school of thought, each of which I've been drawn to at different points. I've read about how Kraftwerk wanted to remove all of the humanity from their music, but Eno often spoke about wanting to make synthesized music that felt distinctly human,\" Devaney says. \"As much as Kraftwerk is a sonically foundational influence, with this record I leaned much more towards the Eno school of thought. In this era quickly being defined by the rise of AI supplanting human creators I'm focusing more on the human condition, and I need the underlying music to support that... Instead of hopelessness, I want to leave the listener with a feeling of us really seeing one another, that our individual struggles can actually unite us in empathy.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527276892245,"sku":"098787170009","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/nation-of-language-dance-called-memory-clear-w-black-blue-mix-7413479.jpg?v=1779842347"},{"product_id":"nilufer-yanya-miss-universe","title":"Nilufer Yanya - Miss Universe","description":"Double clear vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2019 debut album from ATO's priority developing artist, Nilüfer Yanya.

Rendered in dynamic, ambitious orchestral passages, it forms the basis of future stage performances intended to draw it's half-submerged narrative into the visual sphere. In it's dreamlike impressions, it could also be the soundtrack to a long-forgotten early musical film - an experience that delighted and transported audiences and then vanished from record, surviving only in the imprint of memory. Written in three acts, Emerald Sea follows two deities who trail each other through the furthest reaches of experience. There is the Universe, all that exists, voiced by performance artist Marina Abramovic. And there is Venus, transformer of matter and avatar of love, sung by the group's lead vocalist Karen Hover (who goes by k).","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527404490837,"sku":"602309894900","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/sound-of-ceres-emerald-sea-seafoam-green-1185668.jpg?v=1779842286"},{"product_id":"of-montreal-innocence-reaches","title":"Of Montreal - Innocence Reaches","description":"Limited edition colored vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Innocence Reaches begins with a query. \"How do you identify?\" coos a robotic voice over a strikingly modern mix of bright synthpop and surging rave. The question too feels very of it's time-as outdated ideas about gender and attraction are being overturned-but it's also a fair ask whenever Of Montreal debuts an album. The project's 14th LP follows two full decades of mercurial creative mania: swallowing up '60s psych-pop, Prince-ly funk, and glammy prog in turn; morphing freely between full-band affair and cloistered confessional booth; comprising lyrics both painfully personal and absurdly fantastical; and recently drawing site-specific inspiration from culture capitals like San Francisco or New York City. The thread that runs through it all is Athens, GA's Kevin Barnes, and Innocence Reaches finds him at his most light-hearted in years, working a Parisian stint, Top 40 sounds, and his newfound single status into the kaleidoscopic swirl. Even as he continues to sift the sonic and emotional detritus of his past, Barnes sums up his current mood in the opener's title: \"let's relate.\" Innocence Reaches features darker moments to be sure-isolation, anger, indifference, and the feeling that, like a Truffaut film, madness lurks just outside the frame-but as Barnes explains, \"Epiphany comes from breakdown. If you can stay open and vulnerable, the nebulous becomes transparent. That's one of the magical aspects of writing from personal life.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527427723349,"sku":"644110031716","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/of-montreal-innocence-reaches-9800676.jpg?v=1779842167"},{"product_id":"of-montreal-white-is-relic-irrealis-mood","title":"Of Montreal - White is Relic \/ Irrealis Mood","description":"Limited 180gm colored vinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2018 release from the Athens, Georgia-based indie band led by Kevin Barnes. \"Two important events occurred during the making of White Is Relic\/Irrealis Mood.

That reinvention doesn't need to be drastic, but every new record has to have it's own identity, and it has to have a separate set of goals from what came before.\"  What came before: a rightfully acclaimed, much beloved display of singular pop craftsmanship. Tatum's dreamy, unexpected 2010 debut, Gemini, was written while he was still a student at Virginia Tech University. It's equally disarming follow-up, 2012's Nocturne, marked the first time he'd been able to bring his bedroom recordings into a studio, to be performed and fully realized with the help of other musicians. There has been a set of wonderfully expansive EPs in between-each hinting at new directions and punctuating previous ideas-but with Life of Pause, Tatum delivers what he describes as his most \"honest\" and \"mature\" work yet, an exquisitely arranged and beautifully recorded collection of songs that marry the immediate with the indefinable. \"I allowed myself to go down every route I could imagine even if it ended up not working for me,\" he says. \"I owe it to myself to take as many risks as possible. Songs are songs and you have to allow yourself to be open to everything.\" After a prolonged period of writing and experimentation, recording took place over several weeks in both Los Angeles and Stockholm, with producer Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Beachwood Sparks) helping Tatum in his search for a more natural and organically textured sound. In Sweden, in a studio once owned by ABBA, they enlisted Peter, Bjorn and John drummer John Ericsson and fellow Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra veteran Pelle Jacobsson, to contribute drums and marimba. In California, at Monahan's home, Tatum collaborated with Medicine guitarist Brad Laner and a crew of saxophonists. From the hypnotic polyrhythms of \"Reichpop\" to the sugary howl of \"Japanese Alice\" to the hallucinogenic R\u0026amp;B of \"A Woman's Wisdom,\" the result is a complete, fully immersive listening environment. \"I just kept things really simple, writing as ideas came to me,\" he says. \"There's definitely a different kind of 'self' in the picture this time around. There's no real love lost, it's much more a record of coming to terms and defining what it is that you have-your place, your relationships. I view every record as an opportunity to write better songs. At the end of the day it still sounds like me, just new.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527428509781,"sku":"817949023263","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/wild-nothing-life-of-pause-white-4811791.jpg?v=1779842166"}],"url":"https:\/\/levitation.fm\/collections\/indie-pop\/vinyl.oembed","provider":"LEVITATION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
