IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE (Blue Vinyl Edition)

The Twilight Sad

Independent — 25th September 2026 — Blue Vinyl LP, limited

A new colour variant of the Scottish post rock group’s sixth album, shipping late September. If you missed the earlier pressing or want this specific colourway, this is the one to move on. The Twilight Sad remain one of the most emotionally unsparing bands doing this, and the record is worth having in any form.

Tristeza (Last Copy + Signed Test Pressing)

Resplandor

LP + Signed Test Pressing, collector’s rarity

A genuine one off. This is the last vinyl copy of Tristeza paired with a test pressing, personally signed by Antonio Zelada. Produced and mixed by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and mastered by Simon Scott of Slowdive, so the pedigree behind this record speaks for itself. Free worldwide shipping is included, though at this price that’s really the least of it.

Wind (40th Anniversary Edition)

Gigi Masin

Numero Group — 30th October 2026 — LP

The Italian ambient maestro’s 1986 debut, remastered and restored for its 40th anniversary. Minimal piano, free classical and balearic new age woven together into something that still sounds singular four decades on. Housed in a tip on jacket with the original iconography in reflective silver foil.

Plastic Beach (Urban Outfitters Exclusive)

Gorillaz

Warner Records — 2026 — Grape vinyl with yellow splatters, limited to 3,000 copies

Fifteen years on, Plastic Beach still sounds like a record built from spare parts of half a dozen genres that somehow all fit together. This Urban Outfitters exclusive comes on grape vinyl with yellow splatters. Damon Albarn’s cast of collaborators here, from Mos Def to Bobby Womack, remains one of the strangest and best assembled guest lists in modern pop.

Swervedriver

Shipping around 23rd October 2026 — Silver LP, or Limited Red LP with film strip (400 copies)

Ten demo tracks from the raise sessions, pressed up properly for the first time. Standard copies come on silver vinyl, with a limited red vinyl edition of just 400 including a film strip. Every preorder includes an instant download track plus the full album on release.

Unholy Soul

The Orchids

Circuitry — 25th September 2026 — Translucent Pink 2LP, limited to 500

The Sarah Records album, back in print and remastered. Pauline Hynds of One Dove guests throughout, a first for the band at the time, and the record still carries that early nineties pull between bedroom wistfulness and the rave sounds creeping in around it. A genuinely limited pressing, only 500 copies exist.

Afrodisiac (2026 Reissue)

The Veldt

Music On Vinyl — 2xLP

The Veldt formed in Raleigh in 1986 and built a sound that ran deep R&B roots directly through shoegaze guitar textures in a way that almost nobody else was doing. Afrodisiac is where that fusion hits hardest, and a 2xLP reissue is long overdue. For anyone who has spent time with My Bloody Valentine, Lush or Slowdive and wants to hear where R&B and shoegaze genuinely collide.

Lost Weekend

Phoebe Bridgers

Dead Oceans — Signed Rogue Planet 2LP

A new one from Phoebe Bridgers, pressed here in a signed Rogue Planet colourway through Dead Oceans. Her voice sits at the centre of everything she does and this record is no exception, quiet and devastating in equal measure. Signed copies rarely last long.

New Youth Sound (Hand-Screened Edition)

Patterns Make Sunrise

Numero Group — LP, hand screened chipboard sleeve

Post grunge Seattle emo from the mid nineties, gathered on vinyl for the first time. A four song 7″, a five song demo tape, two previously unreleased Tim Green produced session tracks and a pair of live cuts, all housed in a hand screened chipboard sleeve. If you know Unwound or The Shyness Clinic, this sits right in that orbit.

Bon Iver

Jagjaguwar — Ships from 18th September 2026 — White and blue swirl vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies

Bon Iver’s 2011 self titled record, the one that took Justin Vernon’s cabin recordings and turned them into something far bigger and stranger. This Urban Outfitters exclusive lands on white and blue swirl vinyl, capped at 1,000 copies.
