New Album Releases & Arrivals September 11, 2026
This Friday runs on records that almost never existed: a four-figure gospel-funk grail whose pressing plant folded, a Cramps album shelved since 1989, a Zamrock session stuck at test pressing for fifty years, and a Japan-only Dollar Brand trio date. They land beside a Massive Attack and Tom Waits collaboration nobody saw coming, new Bonobo, Ezra Collective, and FKJ, and Maggot Brain in six formats at once. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.

New Album Releases & Arrivals September 4, 2026
September opens with a Melbourne punk record made in a bedroom with no internet, the first Massive Attack music in six years with Tom Waits on the microphone, and Angelo Badalamenti's Blue Velvet score turning forty. Behind them: a Zambian album that never got past the test-press stage in 1977, a Cuban landmark at thirty, and a shelf that has MadVillainy, Donuts, and a pair of Tatsuro Yamashita imports on it.

New Album Releases & Arrivals August 28, 2026
August refuses to go quietly. The final Friday opens Prince's vault, breaks Alabama Shakes' eleven-year silence, and delivers the first solo album ever from a Beastie Boy, while a lost Post Malone mixtape gets pressed for the first time in its existence. Because it's month-end, this guide also rounds up every record from August's earlier drops still moving through the racks, from Plastic Love to the Famicom. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.

New Album Releases & Arrivals August 21, 2026
This Friday tells five stories at once: Weezer's first album in four years, Sam Smith's love letter to New York, a Daptone debut with soul royalty in its bloodline, Brazil's greatest album rejoining its sequel, and the clown record we told you to reserve in July, finally landing. Deeper in: a four-LP Tobacco box, French boogie from Born Bad, and Japanese fusion cut from the Alfa masters. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.

New Album Releases & Arrivals August 14, 2026
Six years is a long time to wait, and this Friday the wait ends: the solo return indie fans have circled all summer lands beside Jungle's sunniest record yet, KATSEYE's WILD, and the first full album from underground rap's longest-running almost-duo. The reissues run from Harlem's sharpest pen to a Lupin composer's murder-mystery score, with an audiophile Superfly in between. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.

New Album Releases & Arrivals August 7, 2026
August opens with a Friday for R&B heads and crate diggers alike: one of the most anticipated third albums in years finally hits vinyl, joined by a new voice arriving exactly where she means to be. Then it gets gloriously weird: the Indian synth record that accidentally invented acid house, two Massive Attack dub artifacts, a 1978 Star Wars dub curio, and four Kylie Minogue classics at once. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.

July goes out loud. The final Friday lands a pop giant's return, five David Bowie remasters, a three-record KRS-One wave, DJ Krush's first album in two years, and the vinyl debut of the summer's most talked-about movie soundtrack. Because it's month-end, this guide also rounds up every record from July's earlier drops still moving through the racks, from jazz harp pioneers to faux-Japanese Belgian funk. All new, all sealed, all in GOOD TASTE.
