Releases for 20 February 2026

- Paul Draper Mansun Retold from £13.99
- Nearly three decades on, Paul Draper revisits his Mansun days, approaching these songs like unfinished business on his most sonically ambitious solo project to date.
- Note: The LP is initially available on clear vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Keeley Girl on the Edge of the World from £15.99
- The third album from Anglo-Irish dream-rock trio Keeley is their most eclectic, expansive sonic odyssey yet: a bubbling cauldron of indie-rock, shoegaze, dream-pop, post-punk, ambient electronica and pastoral psychedelia.
- Note: The LP is initially available on sky blue vinyl.
- George Michael Faith from £13.99

- Opeth In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall from £72.99

- Note: The LP is initially available on red and black marble vinyl.
- Black Sea Dahu Everything from £16.99
- Black Sea Dahu craft music that is raw, exposed and profoundly alive. Led by Janine Cathrein, whose voice reveals sorrow and resilience in the same breath, the Swiss band blurs the lines between folk, pop and rock.
Releases for 13 February 2026
- Jeff Buckley The Complete Live at Sin-é from £15.99
- The Complete Live at Sin-é presents Jeff Buckley’s live performances in a cramped club on the lower east side of Manhattan in the early ’90s armed with only an electric guitar, stunning audiences with his mysterious, emotionally uncompromising playing.
- Cardinals Masquerade from £11.99
- Masquerade, the much-anticipated debut album from Cork’s acclaimed Cardinals, is at once grand and intimate: a set of emotionally expansive songs with influences from the brittle honesty of folk to the theatrical melodrama of goth-rock.
- Note: The LP is initially available on transparent red vinyl.
- Charli xcx Wuthering Heights from £12.99
- Charli xcx, whose innovative style and entrepreneurial drive have reshaped pop culture, has now written the score for Emerald Fennel’s highly anticipated film of the Emily Brontë classic Wuthering Heights.
- Note: The LP is initially available on black and green marble vinyl.
- Gogol Bordello We Mean It, Man! from £11.99
- We Mean It, Man! blends post-punk textures and aggro with Gogol Bordello’s free-wheeling gypsy-punk over twelve super-punchy and hook-laden songs. This is the album and political message the world needs now.
- Note: The LP is initially available on transparent beer-coloured vinyl.
- Live at Nelsonica & Clothworkers Hall is a musically ambitious set from the unique musical trio Bill Nelson’s Orchestra Futura: hypnotic looped flutes, fretless bass grooves and experimental electronics, all topped with Nelson’s extraordinary guitar playing.
- Ellefson-Soto Unbreakable from £13.99
- Grammy Award-winning bassist David Ellefson (Ex-Megadeth) and acclaimed metal vocalist Jeff Scott Soto have once again joined forces as Ellefson–Soto to release Unbreakable: a sonic assault packed with catchy riffs, melodic vocals and thoughtful lyrics.

Releases for 6 February 2026
- Big Big Train Woodcut from £13.99
- Woodcut is a landmark release for award-winning progressive rock band Big Big Train in that it marks their first ever full-length conceptual piece. “The story isn’t set in any particular timeframe, but it’s about The Artist, who is struggling with life,” says founding member Gregory Spawton. “He takes a stroll and finds this piece of heartwood and creates something that he considers beautiful and different. Maybe it’s a dream or maybe it’s real life, but he finds himself stepping into this Narnia-style woodcut world.”
- Joe Bonamassa B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100 from £21.99
- The groundbreaking Blues Summit 100 project celebrates the centennial birthday of B.B. King, honouring his monumental legacy with a one-of-a-kind collaboration album. The album features a wealth of curated covers of B.B. King’s most iconic songs, recorded and tracked by blues-rock icon Joe Bonamassa and his all-star band.
- Puscifer Normal Isn’t from £13.99
- The enigmatic Puscifer return with their stunning new album, Normal Isn’t. The uncompromising rock band fronted by Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle) have delivered a record certain to please their dedicated fanbase.
- Note: The LP is initially available on orange swirl vinyl.
- Ellur At Home in My Mind from £12.99
- At Home in My Mind is a journey around Ellur’s mind, dipping into different musical genres that have shaped her for the past 24 years, from the ’90s indie rock she grew up with, through the glitch-pop she discovered in her late teens to the alt-folk she cherishes now. Ellur has created a warm abode for her thoughts and experiences as a young woman growing up in Yorkshire’s Calderdale Valley.
- Note: The LP is initially available on eco-mix vinyl.
- Sarah Nixey Sea Fever from £15.99
- British singer-songwriter Sarah Nixey has steadily gained acclaim for her savvy, sophisticated and poised pop. Her luxe, cut-glass voice belies her empathy, where social commentary serves as protest, both explicit and implied. “Sea Fever explores the bittersweet beauty of human life amid a volatile world of changing seasons and brutal elements,” says Nixey. “These are songs of deep sorrow, remembrance, birth and change, set against a backdrop of the sensuous natural world.”
- “If only there was a way of getting my hands on 12 CDs, a double LP and a Blu-ray of Yes’s overblown 1973 4-track prog-rock epic,” I hear at least one of you cry. Well, there is now! I do like this album but I have always struggled a bit with side 3 – and now, with multiple versions, I can struggle with it even more! I know many people who adore this album; they aren’t wrong though: ¾ of it is awesome! Tales from Topographic Oceans (Super Deluxe Edition) is the definitive version of Yes’ ambitious sixth album, a record that stands as one of the most sprawling and intricate works of the progressive rock era.
Releases for 30 January 2026
- Urne Setting Fire to the Sky from £13.99
- London three-piece Urne – Joe Nally (bass, vocals), Angus Neyra (guitar) and James Cook (drums) – have spent the last few years whipping up a firestorm of grit, swagger and grandiosity. Snarling hardcore, extreme inflections and a strong sense of heavy metal’s inherent classicism all burn together within Urne’s burial chamber and propel the band forward. With Setting Fire to the Sky, their incandescent form of modern metal promises to become a supernova.
- Note: The LP is initially available on turquoise vinyl.
- Kula Shaker Wormslayer from £12.99
- Kula Shaker reaffirm their place as one of Britain’s most fearless and imaginative rock bands with their 8th studio album. Wormslayer surges with evangelical fervour: a whirlpool of ’60s psychedelia, sumptuous soul, retro-funk and cosmic storytelling with a thematic thread that unfolds like a psychedelic rock opera – tales of Faustian bargains, winged dreamers and mythic struggles that mirror the band’s own uncompromising creative spirit.
- Note: The LP is initially available on crystal clear vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Lily Allen West End Girl from £13.99
- West End Girl, the long-awaited fifth studio album from Lily Allen, was written and recorded over an intense 10-day period. The album documents elements of her time in New York with piercing clarity and insight, blending raw honesty with infectious pop craftsmanship.
- Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition crystal clear vinyl.
- Jah Wobble & Jon Klein Automated Paradise from £14.99
- Automated Paradise is Jah Wobble’s first post-punk LP in years, following travel and dub records. The brash guitar-driven tracks reflect his continuing preoccupation with the declining state of the nation. Driven by his experience working each week at a music-based community project in Merton with guitarist Jon Klein, the sound is reminiscent of Mark Stewart. Angry in an empathetic, constructive way, it resolves with the beautiful instrumental ‘Brockwell Lido’.
- Note: The LP is initially available on clear vinyl.
- The Molotovs Wasted on Youth from £13.99
- Wasted on Youth, the debut album from London-based sister-and-brother duo The Molotovs, is a bold mix of new-wave punk, indie and garage rock, showcasing the band’s raw energy and sharp songwriting and exploring important themes of self-empowerment, youthful determination and the drive to enjoy life in a complicated world. With a sound rooted in rock history but fully alive in the present, the record captures the urgency and spirit of today’s youth.
- Note: The LP is initially available on both blue vinyl and independent shops exclusive half pink/half blue vinyl.
- Plantoid Flare from £12.99
- After the success of their debut album, Terrapath, which cemented their status as stewards of the UK prog-rock scene, Plantoid have returned with the enigmatic, arresting and at times downright catchy Flare. Staying true to the band’s math-rock roots, the album is awash with heavy, reverberated guitar licks, tempo changes and mind-altering chord progressions. It does what all second albums do best: retain the core DNA that set its predecessor apart from the fray, yet evolve enough to excite old fans and new listeners alike.
Releases for 23 January 2026
- Craven Faults Sidings from £12.99
- Craven Faults is a genuine word-of-mouth success story who have maintained an element of anonymity throughout their career. The journey on Sidings begins in an isolated community that built up around one of the great engineering projects of its age – 14 tunnels and 22 viaducts to open up the north – and finishes at an enclosed field on a moor in 1858. It takes in studios from Los Angeles to Rochdale from 1952 to 1980, while drawing inspiration from the progress in manmade infrastructure and the transport of goods.
- Note: The LP is initially available on bauxite vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Bangs & Talbot Smokin’ Aces from £9.99 /
- Bangs & Talbot – acid jazz founding figure Chris Bangs and Style Council founding member Mick Talbot – return with their new album, Smokin’ Aces. It follows their acclaimed 2022 debut album as a duo, Back to Business, and two rapid sell-out 7" singles, ‘Sumthin’ Else’ and, most recently, ‘K-Jee’. The album features 12 new tracks recorded and developed over a 2-year spell, with Bangs & Talbot joined by instrumentalists and voices from all over the world.
- The Damned Not Like Everybody Else from £14.99
- The Damned return with a celebratory and very personal record, Not Like Everybody Else: a tribute to the band’s guitarist Brian James, who passed away on 6 March 2025. Recorded in an astonishingly swift five days at Revolver Studio in Los Angeles with producer Mikal Blue (OneRepublic, Jason Mraz), the album includes renditions of 10 well-known songs by some of the artists who influenced Brian on his musical journey and inspired the rest of the band.
- Note: The LP is initially available on rainbow sparkle vinyl.
- Lucinda Williams World’s Gone Wrong from £12.99
- Throughout her long career, Lucinda Williams has never shied away from writing about difficult but real things. If you think about it, you could call ‘Change the Locks’ a topical song ahead of its time. There were several biting and brave songs on her Good Souls Better Angels album, as well as the post-Covid masterpiece Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart. With World’s Gone Wrong, Lucinda ups the ante on topical songs. It is a pure reflection of our very turbulent times, intense and musically powerful.
- Note: The LP is initially available on sky blue vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Megadeth Megadeth from £13.99
- Megadeth sign off with one final, self-titled studio album, which serves as the definitive closing chapter to one of the most influential catalogues in heavy music and represents a creative milestone. “There’s so many musicians who have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,” says Dave Mustaine. “Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now. I have travelled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it’s now.”
- Note: The LP is initially available on crystal red organza vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Poppy Empty Hands from £12.99
- Metal and avant-pop artist Poppy returns with 13 bold new tracks on her seventh album, Empty Hands – a daring set of songs that blurs the lines between heavy and hypnotic, cementing her status as a rising visionary within the rock genre. From performance-art provocateur to video director, sci-fi graphic-novel author and globe-travelling recording artist whose songbook encompasses anything from brutal metal breakdowns and snappy ’60s bubblegum to trap-pop and grunge-punk, absolutely nothing has been off limits when it comes to Poppy masterfully executing her varied artistic vision.
- Note: The LP is initially available on pink-in-ice-blue splatter vinyl.
Releases for 9 & 16 January
- Courtney Marie Andrews Valentine from £12.99
- 16 January: Courtney Marie Andrews has long been celebrated as an artist who challenges herself and who finds new interplays of folk and americana. Also a vivid poet and accomplished painter, she brings a multidisciplinary richness to her work that shines throughout her ninth studio album. Valentine prizes raw performance rather than perfection and is Andrews’s most sonically explorative record thus far – she plays flute, high-strung guitars, myriad synths, and draws heavy inspiration from her art outside of music. Her voice is gorgeous and acrobatic always, but on Valentine it finds a new depth, an assertiveness that brings new dimension to its biggest anthems and its softest moments.
- Note: The LP is initially available on gold vinyl, exclusive to independent shops.
- Alter Bridge Alter Bridge from £14.99
- 9 January: Following 2022’s massive Pawns & Kings (#1 US Hard Music Albums, #2 US Billboard 200 With Hard Rock Genre, #3 US Current Rock Albums), rock icons Alter Bridge return with their hard-hitting new self-titled album. First single ‘Silent Divide’ kicks off with a charging heavy metal-tinged riff before the iconic voice of Myles Kennedy climbs towards a melodic chorus, metallic bridge and epic harmonic solo!
- Dry Cleaning Secret Love from £11.99
- 9 January: On Secret Love, south London four-piece Dry Cleaning take their place in rock’s avant-garde, catalysing the Reaganite paranoia of early ’80s US punk and hardcore with the dry strut of Keith Richards, stoner rock, dystopian degradation, playful no-wave and pastoral fingerpicking, while Florence Shaw’s delivery, meticulously calibrated to her bandmates’ soundscapes, asserts her in a lineage of spoken-word artists stretching from Laurie Anderson to Life Without Buildings’ Sue Tompkin.
- Note: The LP is initially available on gold vinyl. apricot
- Fleet Foxes A Very Lonely Solstice from £10.99
- 9 January: Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold brings light to the bleakest of winters with A Very Lonely Solstice, a career-spanning 13-track collection recorded live on the winter solstice in December 2020 at St Ann & The Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, New York. The performance was originally broadcast as a live-stream event just days after New York declared another state of emergency restrictions in response to increasing Covid-19 cases. Pecknold describes the set as “me by myself on the longest night of the year … honouring the loneliness of 2020 with a nylon string and some songs new and old.” Fans worldwide tuned in while quarantined at home, finding solace and a sense of community in a period of extreme isolation.
- Note: The LP is initially available on both clear vinyl and independent shops exclusive tan vinyl.
- 16 January: Steve Hogarth is best known as the charismatic frontman and lyricist of legendary British band Marillion. Renowned for his expressive voice, poetic lyrics and emotional performances. Steve has also carved out a rich solo career that allows him to explore music in a more personal, cinematic way, and is celebrated for his ability to connect deeply with audiences, whether on grand stages or in stripped-down, acoustic settings. S.P.Q.R. was recorded on 3 February 2024 at Rome’s Sala Sinopoli, with Italian progressive band RanestRane providing acoustic instrumentation on harp, mandolin, harmonium and tablas. For this show, they were also joined by the Flowing Chords choir. In a uniquely intimate and atmospheric setting, Steve reimagines Marillion classics and solo material through cinematic arrangements.
- The Cribs Selling a Vibe from £11.99
- 9 January: After two decades and nine albums as one of Britain’s best-loved bands, Wakefield-born siblings The Cribs have weathered enough storms, onstage and off, to realise that an indestructible bond exists between them. For years, it’s fizzed beneath the surface of their sound, perforating every thrash of guitar, every snap of snare, every impassioned vocal, roared back at them at live shows by sweat-drenched, devoted crowds. But rarely have the band acknowledged this bond out loud. “It’s not something we ever really said to each other explicitly,” admits bassist and lead vocalist Gary. That all changed, however, with the creation of Selling a Vibe – their bold new album, which captures The Cribs at their bottle-rocket energetic best.
- Note: The LP is initially available on Seagram green vinyl.
