New Album Releases June 12, 2026

June 12, 2026 is one of the biggest Fridays of the season, headlined by three records that could not be more different: Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album, Sublime's first new record in 30 years, and the worldwide vinyl debut of the viral Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine. Around those, there is a deep run of catalog reissues that any record shelf wants.

The week's reissues are heavy hitters in their own right, from Santana's nine-Grammy Supernatural and Hootie & The Blowfish's diamond-selling Cracked Rear View to a pair of Steve Albini noise-rock landmarks from Big Black, Charles Wright's funk classic Express Yourself, Mariah Carey's #1s hits set, the jazzy Metropolis anime score, and Warp's foundational Artificial Intelligence compilation. Last week's enormous June 5 catalog drop is still flowing through the same collection underneath all of it.

Here is your complete guide to the best vinyl dropping this Friday, and you can shop the full June 12, 2026 collection here.

Angine de Poitrine - Vol. I/1 Vinyl LP

The viral Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine finally land on wide vinyl through ATO Records, and Vol. I is the debut that started the obsession. The masked "Poitrine brothers," Klek and Khn, build their own microtonal guitars by hand and weave acid techno, disco, and rock together with Middle Eastern and gamelan-inspired phrasing, a sound their KEXP session pushed to millions of views. Pick up Angine de Poitrine's Vol. I on vinyl.

Why it's worth purchasing:

• First wide vinyl pressing of the debut from Quebec's viral masked duo
• Hand-built microtonal guitars driving a blend of acid techno, disco, and rock
• Available widely on vinyl for the first time through ATO Records

Angine de Poitrine - Vol. II/2 Vinyl LP

Vol. II is the denser, stranger follow-up, pushing the duo's sound into sharper dynamics and weirder structures while keeping the same three ingredients of acid techno, disco, and rock. Its opener "Fabienk" became a global top-50 Shazam track, and the original pressings vanished from Canadian shelves within days. Order Angine de Poitrine's Vol. II on vinyl.

Why it's worth purchasing:

• The acclaimed second album, available widely on vinyl for the first time
• Tighter, denser, and stranger than the debut, with a dry sense of humor
• Home to the viral opener "Fabienk," a global top-50 Shazam track

• Big Black's caustic 1987 second and final album
• Remastered by Steve Albini and Bob Weston, with an album download included
