New Album Releases & Arrivals July 3, 2026

July 3, 2026 is a Madonna week in full. The headline is the long-awaited Confessions II/2, landing alongside one of the deepest runs of her catalog we have had at once, from the 1983 debut through Ray of Light and beyond. Around her sits Japanese fusion and city pop from Masayoshi Takanaka and Casiopea, underground hip-hop from billy woods & Kenny Segal and Oddisee, audiophile John Coltrane, and a stack of video game soundtracks.

New Album Releases & Arrivals June 26, 2026

June 26 is the kind of Friday that rewards careful attention. The headline is Boards of Canada's Inferno -- their first album in over a decade -- but the drop runs deep in every direction: Olivia Rodrigo, Kehlani, Alicia Keys at 25 years, three Roy Ayers albums at once, Jalen Ngonda on Daptone, a major Japanese city pop haul from Hiroshi Sato and Anri, and dozens more new pressings across hip-hop, soul, jazz, electronic, rock, and reggae.

New Album Releases June 12, 2026

June 12, 2026 is a sharp, specific week built around two big returns: Olivia Rodrigo's intimate third album and Sublime's first new record in 30 years. Around them sits a viral microtonal duo from Quebec, Angine de Poitrine, Mariah Carey's #1s on opaque white, Santana's Supernatural, and a deep run of funk, rock, and soundtrack reissues.

New Album Releases June 5, 2026

June 5, 2026 is a week for the deep listeners. The headline releases are real and varied, from Niall Horan's fourth solo album to American Football's first record in nearly seven years, but the heart of this drop is a run of imported video game soundtrack CDs that almost never turn up in a record shop. Around that spotlight: new soul from Jalen Ngonda, a Lee "Scratch" Perry and Mouse on Mars collaboration, Vince Staples, the return of the Spice Girls catalog, and a stack of curated international cassettes.

Two Noah Kahan variants pulling in the indie folk crowd. A Deltron 3030 25th Anniversary splatter pressing for the underground hip-hop heads.
