Marvin Gaye "You're The Man" lost follow-up to 1971's What's Going On finally sees the light of day... and it's fantastic!

Mikal Cronin "Undertow" (single)

Modest Mouse "Poison The Well" (single)

Renny Conti The Horse (EP)

Sad Planets "Yesterday Girls" (single) The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney hooks up with John Petkovic for this cool, new project. The Black Keys have a new single out, "Lo/Hi", their first in 5 years; part of a new forthcoming album.

Son Volt Union feat "Reality Winner". Americana icon Jay Farrar (many of his old Uncle Tupelo bandmates went on to form Wilco) returns to form with a partisan political album "ripped from the headlines" yet speaking to the same deeper truths as Woody Guthrie and Joe Hill (a Farrar "collaborator" on "Rebel Girl" here - Farrar put new music to lyrics written by the activist who was murdered by The State in 1915).

Spiral Stairs We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tized. The *other* guitar genius from Pavement releases an eclectic new blend of sounds. A good solid album from Scott Kannberg AKA Spiral Stairs

Ty Segall Deforming Lobes (live) Produced by the legendary Steve Albini, the songs were recorded at three live shows in L.A. in January 2018 (feat Mikal Cronin on bass). It's monstrously awesome.
