Arlo has received praise from artists such as Billie Eilish, Wyclef Jean, Clairo, Florence Welsh and Phoebe Bridgers during the past year while growing her fan base exponentially.

Jack Waterson is the acid that Adrian never took as a kid. The result, as you'd expect, is both colorful and dark; full of sonic and musical surprises. The creative relationship they have questions the social order of the United States, yet theirs is a quintessentially American Story: Kindred spirits. Punk rock and hip hop came from the same place, fueled by identical sentiments: people taking the music back, reclaiming it, and finding a new audience. Waterson, primed from the mid-70s Punk scene, began his musical career in '79 as a founding member of Green on Red. They inspired artists as diverse as My Bloody Valentine, Wilco and Mazzy Star with their records and psychedelic palette. Years later, Waterson continued his influential journey by opening the revered musical instrument store, Future Music, a Los Angeles staple. In '99, an 18 year-old Younge realized that he wanted to create music that sounded like the records he was sampling. Unbeknownst to him, he serendipitously wandered into Future Music. It's there, he realized his dream was possible. During these years, Waterson schooled Younge on psych and art rock; Younge returned the favor by schooling him on Hip Hop, the origins of sampling, and it's source music. Together this unlikely duo manifested new revolutionary worlds with Waterson appearing on every Younge album within the last decade.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526578540629,"sku":"856040005921","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/adrian-younge-jack-waterson-instrumentals-3957038.jpg?v=1779844266"},{"product_id":"adrian-younge-midnight-hour","title":"Adrian Younge - Midnight Hour","description":"The Midnight Hour is comprised of Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, alongside a tight rhythm section and a full orchestra.

Less than a year after her album Through and Through, Baby Rose returns with Slow Burn, a collection of songs that explode her sonic palette from progressive R\u0026amp;B into a rawer, richer and more sprawling lens of American music. Here, Rose asserts herself as not only a once-in-ten-lifetimes vocalist, but as a formidable songwriter connecting the dots where Muscle Shoals meets psych, psych meets jazz, jazz meets Americana, and the right players bring it all together. Produced by BADBADNOTGOOD, Rose and the band found an instant but seemingly endless well of inspiration; what started as an introduction became a day, became a song, became a night, became Slow Burn.Baby Rose was already a powerful position player - she can share the stage with Robert Glasper without breaking a sweat, or close an epic film like Creed III, for which she performed the closing credit song, with steely confidence. When Rose first met with BADBADNOTGOOD the idea was to say hello, get acquainted, see what a collaboration could, over time, potentially become. But the connection was instant, and together they put down lead single \"One Last Dance\" in just that first meeting. It was Rose's first freestyle vocal, and it snapped crucial pieces of her vision into focus. \"I've known deep down there were new spaces and sounds that I could rise to,\" Rose explains. \"I've always been into different sounds that bring in those rawer textures.\" And so while the speed of their collaboration thrilled and surprised Rose, the potential and the end results did not. \"We moved quickly,\" she says, \"and it really was a faucet. Once we got 'One Last Dance', it became clear everything was going to flow.\"The songs on Slow Burn were inspired in part by Rose's experiences driving between her family's home bases: the noise and chaos of DC and the quiet, Carolina countryside. Rose would crank music and let her mind drift, making room for the internal monologues and imagined dialogues you might not otherwise dare to hear. There's a dreaminess in those moments, and they smolder on Slow Burn: memories lose their realities, feelings replace happenings. Slow Burn's title track, for example, sets soft, ambling drums against Rose's lyrical repetitions, as she traces those recollections-some lives, some felt- with patient, insistent desire.The standout \"One Last Dance\" arrives disguised as a love song, but is actually an ode to a lost friendship, and an imagined dream of one more day like the old days. Reality blurs with feeling again, vocals layer into lullaby, and BADBADNOTGOOD's bassist Chester Hansen brings that dreamlike quality to a sneaky, cautious but loving undertone. In fact most of the songs on Slow Burn have that stealthy, shadowed feel, like they're arriving on tiptoe: intimate but a little dangerous, tender but a little mysterious.As complete and compelling a work as this is, Slow Burn points to a bigger, higher ascent in Baby Rose's future. \"I feel boundless,\" says Rose. \"It's one thing carrying the weight of the emotion I'm going to bring as a vocalist and lyricist, but now I feel like I'm the head on a body with all these players and artists and other limbs. I'm in love with that process. When you have the right energy and the right synergy,\" she says, \"all that's left is to trust yourself.\"","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526589190229,"sku":"656605049021","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/baby-rose-badbadnotgood-slow-burn-clear-smoke-9860877.jpg?v=1779844088"},{"product_id":"brainstory-dead-end-mnemophobia","title":"Brainstory - Dead End \/ Mnemophobia","description":"Big Crown is proud the present the debut single from the one of the newest acts on the roster; Brainstory. Brainstory is a tale of brothers bounded by blood, by fate, and a small town with nothing to do. Born and bred in Rialto, CA, the trio is made up of two brothers, Kevin \u0026amp; Tony Martin, and drummer Eric Hagstrom. Their music is a mix of jazz, funk, and psychedelia shrouded in a cloud of weed smoke and California soul. Their entire debut album is produced by Leon Michels, so you take the Cali sunshine and mix it with Michels NYC aesthetic and you get a killer record. Here's the first two songs. The A side \"Dead End\" is a sublime slow burner about trying to let go of a person and trying to let go of parts of yourself that are dying with that relationship. In the words of Kevin, \"It's kind of like confronting death, but through relationships and coming to terms with who you are in the mirror of another person.\" With Kevin's sublime falsetto floating atop Tony and Eric's unflappable and unmistakable backbeat, this tune is sure to become a favorite with the ballad heads, the low-riders, the slowie collectors, and anyone who's cord is not unplugged.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526598725717,"sku":"349223007114","price":10.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/brainstory-dead-end-mnemophobia-7045637.jpg?v=1779844028"},{"product_id":"witch-lukombo-vibes","title":"Witch - Lukombo Vibes","description":"WITCH - Lukombo Vibes","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526608719957,"sku":"659457610616","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/witch-lukombo-vibes-6284810.jpg?v=1779843968"},{"product_id":"durand-jones-wait-til-i-get-over-blue-jay","title":"Durand Jones - Wait Til I Get Over - Blue Jay","description":"Durand Jones's Wait 'Til I Get Over is a memoir and a love letter.It is the story of Jones's life, his growth and revelations, thewisdom of his hometown and the wisdom he could only gainonce he left.

Even with an aesthetic steeped in the golden, strings-infused dreaminess of early '70s soul, the Indications' sophomore LP, American Love Call, is planted firmly in the present, with the urgency of this moment in time. The Indications' 2016 self-titled debut was the product of friends who met as students at Indiana University in Bloomington, In., recorded for $452.11, including a case of beer. American Love Call, the band's sophomore LP is instead the record the Indications dreamed of making, fleshed out with strings, backing vocals, and a newfound confidence in songwriting. Blending a slew of influences from years spent crate-digging, guitarist Blake Rhein says the Indications approach songs in the same way hip-hop producers do, as likely to pull inspiration from '70s folk-rock or classic R\u0026amp;B as they are Nas' Illmatic. \"Did I expect to do this shit once I got out of college?

The A side, \"Breathe\", takes a page out of the Shuggie Otis playbook and then flips the script with some stoned out, west coast swag.

Before this new journey can happen we got to stop back and take a breath. Relax. Use the power of this simple act to become your higher self.\" Side B, \"Sorry\" keeps on with the same swagger as Breathe but finds brother and bass player extraordinaire, Tony, taking over the vocal duties.

Buck is a state of mind, a way of life, a demeanor that gets you through the good times and the bad. If you ask Brainstory, It is also the energy that permeates their debut album. Kevin, Tony, and Eric are a trio of brothers bounded by blood, fate, and a small town with nothing to do. Their story begins in the long lost lands of the San Bernardino Valley, in the twilight zone known as Rialto, California: An arid wasteland of boredom and empty lots. Through punk rock and skateboarding they found temporary liberation from the local monotony. However, it wouldn't be long before a hunger for more led them to explore musical realms beyond that of the hardcore punk they admired. After stints at music school and steady disappointment trying to navigate their local jazz scene they moved to Los Angeles and Brainstory was born. Through a introduction from Chicano Batman's bassist, Brainstory caught the ears of Big Crown head honchos Danny Akalepse and Leon Michels. Shortly thereafter they were on their way to Queens, to record at The Legendary Diamond Mine with Michels at the helm. An instant chemistry yielded 10 songs in 10 days and now Brainstory has gifted the world with one hell of an introduction to all things Buck. Highlights include the sublime slow burner, \"Dead End\" which was the A-side to their first 45 on Big Crown that sold out in a matter of days. With Kevin's sublime falsetto floating atop Tony and Eric's unflappable and unmistakable backbeat, this tune has become a favorite with the ballad heads, the low-riders, and the slowie collectors. \"Breathe\" showcases another side of their sound taking a page out of the Shuggie Otis playbook and flipping the script with some stoned out west coast swag. Kev and Tony's father, Big Tone, an accomplished performer himself, steps in on \"Peter Pan\" to sing lead vocals over a chorus of friends and family. Bassist extraordinaire, Tony, takes over lead vocal duties on \"Sorry\", a smoked out, G Funk groove that is just waiting to be sampled. These guys have come a long way from their self released EPs and opening tours with Chicano Batman. Their musical growth is undeniable, and taking their California sunshine vibes and mixing them with Michels' NYC aesthetic has proven to be an amazing combination. It's a debut record that pulls influences from so many genres seamlessly it's hard to nail down. Call it Funk, call it Rock, call it Soul, but over here at Big Crown HQ, we've decided to call it BUCK.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526666031189,"sku":"349223007916","price":21.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/brainstory-buck-6983457.jpg?v=1779843727"},{"product_id":"brainstory-nobody-but-you-b-w-gift-of-life","title":"Brainstory - Nobody but You B\/w Gift of Life","description":"They're baaaack...

Then... then, they drop a ballad on the flip side that is going to cause an entire scene to reconsider how they are doing it.

With all live shows and future tours canceled, Brainstory had no other outlet besides their rehearsal space which had been converted into a makeshift studio. Stepping up to the obstacles of the moment, they recorded and produced an EP of brand new music. They were already highly skilled musicians two years ago, but time in the studio with Leon Michels producing Buck and playing alongside bands like Holy Hive and Chicano Batman had a profound effect on them. Their ears have developed, their ethos and their drive has matured, their musicianship is full-blown; hence the name of the EP, Ripe. Ripe is a seven song journey into who Brainstory are as people and as a band. They are lighthearted and fun but never anything less than dead serious about their artistry. In choosing to record a mostly instrumental record, they have departed from their 2019 debut Buck and are showing more of their Jazz roots. Ripe pulls from Jazz, Hip Hop, 70s Funk, 60s Soul, and life in Southern California in the year 2021. Kev's intro to the EP is a testament to their thing, his goofy and charming \"let's go baby... less go baby\" is welcoming and fun and then \"Scissors\" drops-serious as can be. The first vocal number we hear is \"Seasons\", a song about maintaining through the challenges of 2020 that would make Roy Ayers proud. \"Long Day\" and \"Rogers\" are drenched in reefer and psychedelia and promise a moment away from reality if listened to in headphones. \"Bye Bye\" is another stone cold ballad from the group that is destined to be a staple in sweet soul sets around the globe.

The music could score a romantic drama, an action thriller, or a modern twist on a classic film noir. The spare, cascading vocals accentuate the lush instrumental orchestrations composed, performed, arranged and produced by multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, whose latest brainchild was conceived and conceptualized during The Great Pause of 2020, a time of tension, bewilderment and isolation. Evoking the grooviness of an era which preceded his arrival on earth, Applebaum draws upon sonic devices of mid-century exotica and the succinct but dense arranging style of the leaders of the pop orchestras which dominated the hit parades of the 60s and early 70s. He blends impressions of this bygone era with an expression of his actual experiences as a young filmmaker coming of age in the 21st century, citing influences such as Sharon Jones \u0026amp; The Dap Kings and Antibalas. A New Kind of Love encompasses a reverence for the past without attempting to recreate it. In the tradition of the \"production forward\" discographies of such record makers as David Axelrod and the Mizell Brothers, it's easy to visualize Applebaum as a \"mad doctor\" figure, hunkered down in a studio channeling this musical representation of his inner world into the 12 compositions which make up A New Kind of Love. His writing stretches his psyche to explore a terrain in which to capture emotional notes of love going well, love gone sour, manifesting love songs based in ghostly affairs. While the studio is obviously a wondrous happy place of experimentation and creativity for Applebaum, he's a band guy too (having actually fronted punk outfit The Mad Doctors). Applebaum has the wherewithal to bring his dreamy material to the 10 piece all star Ghost Funk Orchestra, leading them to breathe life into this sophisticated body of work which heralds the celebration of a new era for the group. Ghost Funk Orchestra will be touring in concert this summer and fall to celebrate the release of A New Kind of Love, an album which is sure to stand the test of time.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526822203477,"sku":"674862659609","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/ghost-funk-orchestra-new-kinf-of-love-7660356.jpg?v=1779843066"},{"product_id":"mother-earth-people-tree","title":"Mother Earth - People Tree","description":"Originally released in 1994, Mother Earth's The People Tree is a gem of an album that encapsulates a love of soul, funk and folktinged '70s rock.

Merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves, Francis constructed the album sans digital programming in keeping with his long-standing devotion to all things analog. The album is heralded by today's premiere of the gorgeously sprawling power pop anthem, \"What's Left Of Me,\" available everywhere now.

It contains timbres and textures no other instrument can replicate, but most importantly, it's immensely powerful: One voice can spark an uprising, but many voices in unison create a movement. Nya Gazelle Brown, Sabrina Cunningham, and Piya Malik, the three women who front NYC punk-chic, discodelic band Say She She, understand how to wield such power. They soar above irresistible grooves, locking together in gorgeous three-part harmonies that cleverly disguise the feeling of righteous rebellion permeating their music. Theirs is a multi-pronged call to action: Move your body, expand your mind, and recognize your strength. Say She She, whose name pays homage to Nile Rodgers, made Cut \u0026amp; Rewind, their third record, almost immediately after wrapping the tours supporting 2023's Silver. The band's trajectory has skyrocketed over the past few years, earning praise from The Guardian, the LA Times, MOJO, and NPR, and touring with Thee Sacred Souls. They have performed at venues like the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and the Roundhouse in London, as well as festivals including Glastonbury, Austin City Limits, and Pickathon. They've long mined the sounds of the '70s and '80s, citing Minnie Riperton, Rotary Connection, Liquid Liquid, and ESG as influences. Cut \u0026amp; Rewind expands their scope, incorporating elements of Lonnie Liston Smith and the Lijadu Sisters into their sonic palette while channeling the spirit of contemporaries like Lambrini Girls and Amyl and the Sniffers. It all combines into a psychedelic soundscape of pulsing disco beats, astral whistle tones, and earwormy melodies.Over a couple of short, intense sessions, Brown, Cunningham, and Malik gathered with their rhythm section, Dan Hastie, Sam Halterman, Dale Jennings, and Sergio Rios-all members of cult funk band Orgone-at Rios's North Hollywood studio, Killion Sound. Say She She's writing practice is an exercise in presence, as each of the three channels their front-of-mind thoughts and feelings into cathartic transmissions. There's an element of spontaneity at play, informed by the players' affinity for The Meters-style jamming and the studio discipline of Booker T and The M.G.'s, as well as Malik's time in a post-punk improv band with Liquid Liquid's Sal Principato. Each of the 12 tracks on Cut \u0026amp; Rewind crackles with palpable energy, practically daring you to keep your head and hips still. The cosmic boogie of \"Chapters\" ripples out into the ether, while the no-wave throb of \"Shop Boy\" glides like rollerskates through a warehouse loft. The silky \"Under the Sun,\" written in solidarity with the 2023 Writers Guild of America strikes, shines like a sun flare in a camera lens. The three vocalists deftly weave around each other, sometimes creating an interlocking rhythmic lattice (part of a technique they've dubbed the \"Say She She sigh\"), sometimes coalescing in a heavenly triad. But a politically charged undercurrent buzzes beneath the lush, strobing sonics, giving these jams an added heft. In a time of political turmoil where community is more necessary than ever, Say She She offers a particular salve: protest music dressed up as a sweat-dripping, body-moving, consciousness-raising good time.Cut \u0026amp; Rewind is Say She She at their most vital, both outside of time and profoundly of the now. It urges us to stay present and attentive to the challenges we must endure, but offers a way to recharge our collective battery. It's a shimmering, celebratory epic, equally suited for the dancefloor and the demonstration.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527839944789,"sku":"617308103496","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/say-she-she-cut-rewind-2167878.jpg?v=1779841627"},{"product_id":"say-she-she-cut-rewind-disco-life","title":"Say She She - Cut \u0026 Rewind \/ Disco Life","description":"Karma Chief Records (a division of Colemine Records) is proud to bring a dance-floor filling disco 45 of two hot tracks from Say She She's newest LP 'Cut \u0026amp; Rewind.'

The three strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. This harmonizing trio was formed in a classic New York tale of friends that met by following the music: the downtown dancefloors, through the Lower East Side floorboards and up to the rooftops of Harlem. 'Silver' was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She's sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that has seen their sound described as \"a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation\" (MOJO) and \"infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early '80s NYC\" (The Guardian). Silver, the element, is known as the metal of self-confidence and the mirror of the soul. With that, the 16-song double-LP projects not only their growth in writing with confidence, but also reflects a deeper exploration into their punk-chic, femme-forward sensibility.Ultimately, 'Silver' oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. The She She's fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42527841288277,"sku":"674862663392","price":38.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1366\/5653\/files\/say-she-she-silver-9878666.jpg?v=1779841627"},{"product_id":"thee-sacred-souls-instrumentals","title":"Thee Sacred Souls - Instrumentals","description":"Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing.
