Here comes No Obligation, the second full-length release from The Linda Lindas further advances their unironic, joyful, and exciting trajectory of mashing up L.A. punk with alt-rock, garage rock, power pop, new wave, rock en español. No Obligation was written and recorded by the band during spring breaks, winter breaks, and long weekends (Lucia and Eloise are still in high school, Mila just finished middle school, and Bela is patiently waiting for them to get done with it already) and was produced by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, Best Coast, Bleached). Known for their incredible musicianship and live performances, the band who has shared stages with and opened for Paramore, Japanese Breakfast, Jawbreaker, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, are about to embark on a massive two-month tour across America with Green Day. Look for headlining shows at small clubs in between-including a sold-out gig at the famously DIY Gilman Street in Berkeley. The new album, No Obligation, is out on October 11. No obligations. No expectations. No limits for The Linda Lindas.

Bandleader Johnny Pacheco had bigger plans for Celia and for his celebrated Fania/Vaya label's 1974 release. His idea of creating the consummate conjunto recording lacked one vital ingredient. An exciting partner to lead the ensemble. That person was Celia Cruz. And the well-renowned Celia & Johnny sound was created. At completion, Johnny knew that he had produced the ultimate "salsa" album.

Mark Ambor

Rockwood [LP]

Vinyl: $29.98 UNAVAILABLE
Mark Ambor - "Rockwood" / Mark Ambor's debut album, Rockwood, is an ode to home and finding the joy in life despite it's challenges. Rockwood, a park near Mark's hometown, was an escape growing up: a place to enjoy a sunset, a picnic, or a first date, and ultimately, feel momentarily weightless. The upbeat guitar, drums, and bass set an impeccable road trip scene while the lyrics promote a deeper listener connection. Rockwood blends sing-a-long optimism and Mark's vulnerable insecurities to create the perfect escape.

Saxophonist/composer Immanuel Wilkins' 3rd studio album, Blues Blood, is a meditative offering partially inspired by his childhood, a multimedia performance about the legacies of our ancestors and the bloodlines connecting us. Co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello and feat. Micah Thomas (piano), Rick Rosato (bass), Kweku Sumbry (drums), and vocalists Ganavya, June McDoom and Yaw Agyeman - with guest appearances by vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, Marvin Sewell (guitar), and Chris Dave (drums) - it's his most ambitious LP to date. Blues Blood marks the first time he's included vocalists on an album, with each distinctive voice tapping into different aspects of heritage. Blues Blood feels airy and celestial - a soothing balm for anyone searching for peace, and for Black people trying to reconcile history in a country that tries to erase it. It explores 'blues' as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity and 'blood' as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational. 2 LP set.

*ON LIMITED HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW VINYL!!! Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets it's namesake, the music of Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century. It figures that a band with this abrasive, unrelenting, and outlandish of a sound has stuck as strong of a chord as it has. Dread has replaced the American dream, and Chat Pile's music is a poignant reminder of that shift-a portrait of an American rock band molded by a society defined by it's cold and cruel power systems.Though very much on-brand with Chat Pile's signature flavor of cacophonous, sludgy noise rock, the band's shift to a global thematic focus on Cool World not only compliments the broader experimentations it employs with their songwriting but also how they dissect the album's core theme of violence. Melded into the band's twisted foundational sound are traces of other eclectic genre stylings, with examples of gazy, goth-tinged dirges to abrasive yet anthemic alt/indie-esque hooks and off-kilter metal grooves only scratching the surface of what can be heard in the album's ten tracks. Besides stylistically stretching the boundaries of the Chat Pile sound, Cool World is also the band's first record to have someone else handle mixing duties, with Ben Greenberg (Uniform) capturing and further amplifying the quartet's unmistakably outsider and folk-art edge.While Chat Pile's debut album was plenty disturbing with it's B-movie-inspired interpretation of a "real American horror story", what the band depicts on Cool World is unsettling not just from it's visceral noise rock onslaught, but from depicting how all sorts of atrocities are pretty much standard parts of modern existence. In film terms, think something like a Criterion arthouse film by way of schlocky grindhouse splatterfest: undeniably gratuitous and thrilling in the moment but leaving a looming dread in the back of one's mind for how close the horrors depicted mirror reality.
