Produced by Nigel Godrich, Win and Régine, and recorded in multiple locales including New Orleans, El Paso and Mount Desert Island, WE paradoxically distills “the longest we’ve ever spent writing, uninterrupted, probably ever" (per the band’s Win Butler) into a concise 40 minute epic – one as much about the forces that threaten to pull us away from the people we love, as it is inspired by the urgent need to overcome them. WE’s cathartic journey follows a definable arc from darkness into light over the course of seven songs divided into two distinct sides - Side “I” channeling the fear and loneliness of isolation, and Side “WE” expressing the joy and power of reconnection. On the album’s cover, a photograph of a human eye by the artist JR evokes Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. This stunning image - embellished by the distinctive airbrush color tinting of Terry Pastor (utilizing the same physical technique he employed on David Bowie’s iconic Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust covers) – is the visual expression of WE.

| Entering the third decade of their existence, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney announce their eleventh Black Keys album, to be released the day before the twentieth anniversary of their 2002 debut album 'The Big Come Up'. Featuring collaborations with Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, the album is built around raw first takes, its rough blues-rock directly linking back to the band's roots. |

| Her first release on an independent label, 'Let's Say for Instance' marks a new era of Emeli's expansive artistry after a decade on stage and on the airwaves. Exploring new sonic territory through shades of classical, disco, nostalgic R&B and more, it sees Emeli freeing herself from the expectations of others, flexing her holistic skills as a songwriter, producer and vocalist in new, versatile ways. In her words: 'an ode to resilience, rebirth, and renewal'. The album features current hit single 'Brighter Days', alongside previous singles 'Look What You've Done' and 'Family'. |

| The tenth studio album by Belle and Sebastian and their first full-length in seven years. The album was recorded in Belle and Sebastian's hometown of Glasgow when plans to fly to Los Angeles in spring of 2020 were scrapped due to the pandemic. Says Murdoch in the liner notes: 'We did it together, us and the city. This record was the first 'full' LP recording for B&S in Glasgow since 'Fold Your Hands Child', 1999. We clocked in every morning, we played our songs, we wrote together, we tried new things, we took the proverbial lump of clay, and we threw it every day'. |

| Pure Reason Revolution return with their fifth studio album, their second since reuniting in 2019. The band's rebirth saw them going back to their earliest influences, and 'Above Cirrus' sees them reaching ever deeper into the atmospheric, cinematic psych-prog compositions that made 'Eupnea' (2020) such a rapturously received return. |
