New Album Releases & Arrivals September 11, 2026

This Friday runs on records that almost never existed. A gospel-funk album whose pressing plant folded before it reached stores, a Cramps LP mixed in 1989 and shelved without explanation, a Zamrock session that sat at test pressing for fifty years, and a Dollar Brand trio date released only in Japan. All of them finally land, in the same week Massive Attack and Tom Waits release a collaboration nobody saw coming.

The living are busy too: Bonobo marks 25 years with a new album partly cut at Neil Young's ranch, Ezra Collective build their most ambitious record yet, FKJ and Madeon return, Haruomi Hosono breaks a seven-year silence at 78, and Maggot Brain arrives in six formats at once, mastered straight from the analog tapes.

Here's everything landing September 11, alphabetized so you can find your artist fast. Shop the full September 11, 2026 collection here.

Bob Azzam & The Great Expectation - Bob Azzam & The Great Expectation (self-titled) (Fire Orange Color) Vinyl LP

The Egyptian-born European bandleader cut one strange, wonderful record with The Great Expectation in 1969, and diggers have chased it for decades over the drum break on "Rain Rain Go Away."

Sideshow - Tigray Funk Vinyl LP

Tigray Funk is two years of work from a rapper raised between Tigray, Ethiopia and Black America, and it flinches at neither: thirty-two tracks of war memory, heartbreak, and the American dream chase over minimal, percussive beats from Tony Seltzer, Anysia Kym, and Popstar Benny, with Niontay and El Cousteau passing through.

The Cramps - Gravest Gravy Vinyl LP

Gravest Gravy is the Cramps album that waited fifty years twice over: October 1977 Ardent sessions with Alex Chilton, who said record everything and sort it later.
