There Near

Dinosaur Jr.

Jagjaguwar — 28th August 2026 — LP / Coloured LP / Signed Coloured LP

Their sixth album since reforming, recorded in short bursts at Bisquiteen Studio in Amherst with the core trio of Mascis, Barlow and Murph. Piccadilly describe it as roaring from start to finish, which tracks for a band who’ve never really lost it. If you’ve been following the reunion run, this sits comfortably alongside the better records of that stretch. Signed copies are available.

La Forêt

Xiu Xiu

5RC — 25th September 2026 — Jade Eco Mix LP, limited

Back on vinyl for the first time in fifteen years. This is one of Xiu Xiu’s subtlest and most unsettling records, pulling post punk, gamelan and noise tight around Jamie Stewart’s songwriting. Essential if the shelf’s still missing it.

In Rainbows (Rough Trade 50th Anniversary Edition)

Radiohead

Rough Trade — 180g EcoSonic clear recyclable vinyl, limited to 5,000 copies

The standout from Rough Trade’s anniversary run. In Rainbows pressed on 180g EcoSonic clear recyclable vinyl, limited to 5,000 copies. The record where Radiohead reconnected with melody and human warmth after the abstraction of Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Sign in required to purchase, same anti reseller logic across the whole series. Worth acting on now.

Secret Name

Low

Kranky — 28th August 2026 — 2LP

Slowcore at its most skeletal, with Sparhawk, Parker and Sally stretching twelve tracks into something closer to drift than song. Strings, piano and timpani thicken the arrangements without dulling the hush. A cornerstone reissue for anyone building out a slowcore shelf.

ZIRP!

DIIV

Rough Trade — Rough Trade Exclusive opaque white LP

DIIV describe this as their pop record, their extremely accessible mainstream alternative rock record. Whether that’s a genuine statement or self aware provocation isn’t entirely clear, but after the weight of Deceiver, something looser and more immediate from them is worth paying attention to. The Rough Trade exclusive is on opaque white vinyl. This is the one to get.

Dear God, I Hate Myself (Deluxe Edition)

Xiu Xiu

Kill Rock Stars — 25th September 2026 — Silver LP + Bonus 7″, limited

A second Xiu Xiu pressing landing the same week, this deluxe edition adds a bonus 7″ to one of their most gothic pop leaning records. A genuine two for one week for fans of the band.

Burial (Rough Trade 50th Anniversary Edition)

Burial

Rough Trade — Crystal clear vinyl, limited to 1,500 copies

Part of Rough Trade’s 50th anniversary series, one pressing per year of their history. Burial’s self titled debut on crystal clear vinyl, limited to 1,500 copies. The album that transformed urban isolation into something intimate and laid the foundations for a generation of electronic music. You need to be signed into Rough Trade to buy it, which is their way of keeping resellers out. Worth doing.

Methodrone

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A Recordings — 14th August 2026 — 2LP

BJM’s 1995 debut, back on wax. Over seventy minutes of fuzzed out drone pulling from Loop, Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine in equal measure. If you’ve never sat with early BJM before Anton Newcombe got prolific, this is the one to start with.

A Date with Depeche Mode

Nouvelle Vague

PIAS — 30th October 2026 — LP (black vinyl)

Nouvelle Vague do to Depeche Mode what they did to post punk twenty years ago: strip away the machines, bring in bossa nova, jazz and French pop, and let exceptional guest vocalists including Skye Edwards of Morcheeba do the rest. Thirteen tracks covering Enjoy the Silence, Personal Jesus, Stripped, Just Can’t Get Enough and more. The concept sounds unlikely; the execution, on this label and with this cast, probably isn’t.

Mouth of a River pt. 3

ionnalee

To Whom It May Concern — Ships 3rd September 2026 — LP

The closing chapter of a trilogy fifteen years in the making, from the former iamamiwhoami vocalist. It comes as a single pocket pressing with a printed inner sleeve carrying lyrics, sketches and watercolours from the wider project. Worth grabbing for the packaging alone if you’ve followed her before.
