It would be difficult to find a band that is more self-aware than longtime touring band Lucero. Since forming in Memphis in the late 90�s, Lucero�s base musical hallmarks have remained similar to the band�s initial sound established with their first record The Attic Tapes. In the history of their expansive discography, Lucero has evolved and embraced everything from southern rock to Stax-inspired Memphis soul, whilst simultaneously maintaining their distinctive sonic foundations. Years later, dedicated fans of the group still flock to hear the band�s punchy driving rhythms, punk-rooted guitar licks, and lyrics that evoke the whiskey drenched sentimentality of Americana singer-songwriters.

For their twelfth record, Should�ve Learned by Now, Lucero drew on a lot of work from their past. Literally. By adapting songs and guitar parts that had been left over from the group�s previous two albums, Lucero was able to construct one of its most comprehensive works to date.

�I had a particular sound I was looking for on each record and there was no room for any goofy rock & roll or cute witticisms or even simply upbeat songs.� Said primary lyricist and frontman, Ben Nichols. �But now finally, it was time to revisit all of that stuff and get it out in the world. That�s how we got to the appropriately-for-us-titled album Should�ve Learned by Now. The album is basically about how we know we are fuckups and I guess we are ok with that.�

Produced by Grammy Award-winning engineer, Matt Ross-Spang, the album is a punchy, rock and roll record that utilizes the more mature production stylings the group developed over time, and combines it with the first-person introspectiveness that the band is known and loved for.

From its original Ben Nichols-designed cover art to its credits, the album is a reflection of a band that knows itself. Should�ve Learned by Now bridges the gap musically between �old Lucero� and �new Lucero� in a manner which affixes the band�s position as the perfect intersection of punk initiative with hard-earned artistry. It�s an album that recognizes the past in its sound and content, but leaves the door wide open to the future and for the lessons still in store.

"Gracie Abrams's debut album Good Riddance, produced and co-written by her frequent collaborator Aaron�Dessner of The National, finds Abrams documenting her emotional experience with more precision and impact than�ever before.

Double vinyl LP pressing. Algiers have always been unflinching, but SHOOK is at the same time notably joyous and celebratory. It was born when Fisher and Mahan found themselves back in their native Atlanta for several months, reeling from growing pressures and burnout as touring musicians. This triggered an intense period of beatmaking, reconnecting as friends over hours immersed in episodes of Rhythm Roulette and Against the Clock and descending deep into alt-rap YouTube rabbit holes. A revisit of DJ Grand Wizard Theodore's 1970s punk-infused New York City rap masterpiece 'Subway Theme' served as a spiritual moodboard for the album's cross-pollination of urban and counter-culture styles. Across the seamlessly flowing set, including spoken vignettes and ambient instrumental segues, the band pay respect to a sprawling lineage of rap and punk iconoclasts from DJ Premier, DJ Screw and Dead Boys to Lukah, Griselda and Dïat - chopping and screwing beats on a dusty SP-404 and a Sequential Circuits Tempest, building imagined sample libraries from scratch.

A little over a decade ago Logic was sleeping on Big Lenbo�s basement couch in College Park, Maryland. Months later he would sign his first record deal and his life then changed forever. With his career taking off, Logic gave everything to his work. For years he did album after album, tour after tour, interview after interview. And it paid off - but at a severe cost to his mental health. Logic knew if he was going to continue his relationship with music, it would have to be on his own terms. Introducing College Park, Logic�s debut independent album. In College Park, Logic tells the story about a kid from Maryland who was tired of sleeping on couches� and changed that the only way he knew how.�

The Shootouts didn�t expect to be back in the studio so soon after the release of their Top 10 Americana album 'Bullseye'. But when one of country music�s most legendary artists agrees to produce your next record, you don�t say no. That�s what happened when a mutual friend introduced the band to Ray Benson � longtime frontman and 10-time Grammy-winning founder of Asleep at the Wheel. Just months after the April 2021 release of Bullseye, the Shootouts found themselves hard at work with Benson and co-producer Sam Seifert on the album that would become 'Stampede'. The new album 'Stampede' continues to follow the Shootouts mission statement of embracing the various roots of country music while filtering it through the lense of a band from Northeast Ohio. It features special guests Asleep at the Wheel, Raul Malo, Jim Lauderdale, Buddy Miller, and Marty Stuart.

As mui zyu, Hong Kong British artist Eva Liu navigates the tricky territory of ever-changing�identity, merging fantasy and folklore to create a stage for self-acceptance and deliverance.�On her debut full-length�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century, Liu utilizes chopped-up sound-scapes, delicate industrial ambience and sweet pop melodies to introduce a character��a�guide��who can be stretched across worlds to offer the catharsis of patience, perseverance�and understanding. This isn�t a character formed from a desire to escape or flee the real world,�but rather a way to submerge even deeper into ourselves.�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century�is a reflection of everyone, and everything, that made us who we are.�

On her 2021�a wonderful thing vomits, Liu was praised for her seamless integration of�darkened, often ominous instrumentation and pillowy-soft vocals. As the front person of UK�indie-rock trio Dama Scout, Liu effortlessly navigates a disorientating genre-bending sonic�landscape with a playful, gentle dexterity. Now, with the help of Dama Scout bandmate�Luciano Rossi as co-producer, Liu�s first solo full-length builds upon these previous worlds to�form a blossoming, more upbeat patchwork of lo-fi percussion, poignant lyricism and oddly�alluring arrangements.

The writing process of�Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century prompted Liu to explore more of her�Hong Kong heritage, allowing a space for acceptance and celebration. �I am Chinese and I am�owning it,� she explains. �Before, I would resent it. I tried doing things that would make me like�less Chinese somehow.� As the album began to take shape, Liu read the traditional Chinese�folklore writings of Pu Songling and joined local East and Southeast Asian groups. It opened�a portal into a new self, where Liu could blend her love of video games and film scores with traditional Chinese instruments.

Their way through their second album's identity crisis, they arrive, finally, at a place of hard-won maturity. Enter: Food for Worms, which Steen declares to be "the Lamborghini of shame records." It marks a sonic departure from anything they've done before, abandoning their post-punk beginnings for more eclectic influences, drawing from the tense atmospherics of Merchandise, the sharp yet uncomplicated lyrics of Lou Reed and the more melodic works of 90s German band, Blumfeld. For the first time, the band are not delving inwards, but seeking to capture the world around them. "I don't think you can be in your own head forever," says Steen. A conversation after one of their gigs with a friend prompted a stray thought that he held onto: "It's weird, isn't it? Popular music is always about love, heartbreak, or yourself. There isn't much about your mates." In many ways, the album is an ode to friendship, and a documentation of the dynamic that only five people who have grown up together - and grown so close, against all odds - can share.
