Cypress Hill
Insane In The Brain (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - due 2/Oct/2020 ] What has become one of the hip-hop's most iconic party anthems, and one of Cypress Hill's biggest hits, started out with them taking offence at Chubb Rock. He'd flipped some of their lyrics on his own 'Yabba Dabba Doo' song in 1992 and the group... |
Positive K
I Got A Man (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - due 2/Oct/2020 ] Positive K was no stranger to unrequited love. A few years before this, his biggest hit, dropped, he'd tried to ply his labelmate MC Lyte with chat-up lines on the First Priority gem 'I'm Not Havin' It' - with little luck. Fast forward to the... |
Souls Of Mischief
93 'Til Infinity (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - due 2/Oct/2020 ] Showcasing a fluent, loose-limbed rhyme style as Tajai, Opio, A-Plus and Phesto combined and bounced off each other, the Souls were part of the wider eclectic hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics, where they were joined by Del tha Funkee Homosapien and... |
Ultramagnetic MCs

Ultramagnetic MCs
Give The Drummer Some - Vocal Remix / Moe Luv's Theme [ Mr Bongo / 7in - due 2/Oct/2020 ] The late engineer and producer Paul C's fingerprints are all over this single from Ultramagnetic MC's, perhaps the defining release of their career. While earlier records gave notice of their strange and unique talents, they were loveably messy... |
Ultramagnetic MCs
Travelling The Speed Of Thought (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - due 2/Oct/2020 ] 'M.C.'s Ultra (Part II Edit)' is part brag-rap, part baffling science lecture. Leaning heavily on the thesaurus, it's a slang heavy manifesto that elevated the boast rap to the next level. While Kool Keith would go on to be the group's breakout star,... |
Sufjan Stevens
The Ascension [ Asthmatic Kitty / Cassette - due 2/Oct/2020 ] The long awaited follow-up to Carrie & Lowell, The Ascension is the eighth solo studio album from Sufjan Stevens. |

Bruce Springsteen
Letter To You [ Columbia / CD - due 23/Oct/2020 ] Letter To You is Bruce Springsteen's new studio album with the E Street Band, and is a rock album fueled by the band's heart-stopping, house-rocking signature sound. Recorded at his home studio in New Jersey, Letter To You is Springsteen's 20th... |
Coil
Musick To Play In The Dark [ DAIS Records / CD - due 27/Nov/2020 ] Reissued for the first time in over 20 years, completely remastered and restored audio and artwork.

Dead C
Unknowns [ Ba Da Bing / CD - due 16/Oct/2020 ] Some bands struggle to transcend their initial mythos, those stories that introduce them to the public eye. But The Dead C is a notable exception. They appeared in 1986 under a cloud of mystery, their unconventional location (South Island, New... |
Dead Famous People
Harry [ Fire Records / CD - due 9/Oct/2020 ] Dons Savage is an unparalled talent, a savant of the perfect melody and lyrics which both touch and bite, a throwbook to the Carole King's and Gerry Goffin's of Brill Building pop, an instinctive penseuse besting the originators of the Riot Grrrl... |
The Distillers
The Distillers (20th Anniversary Edition) [ Hellcat / CD - due 30/Oct/2020 ] To call The Distillers simply a punk band doesn't do justice to either the band or the word "punk". Guitarist, lyricist, and vocalist Brody Dalle uses her medium as a platform for a higher plane of visceral lyricism and independence. Few modern day... |

Ellis
Born Again [ Fat Possum / CD - due 2/Oct/2020 ] The full-length debut from Ellis, Born Again takes place in spaces both intimate and vast, ordinary, and near-mythic: warm beds and lonely church pews, restless cities and desolate forests and the furthest reaches of the cosmos. |
Future Islands
As Long As You Are [ 4AD / CD - due 9/Oct/2020 ] As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and "letting go", allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a... |
