Gracie Abrams - The Secret Of Us (Indie Exclusive Dark Pomegranate Vinyl)
Gracie Abrams brings a more confident and expressive approach to her second studio album, The Secret Of Us, expanding the intimate songwriting of her debut, Good Riddance, into a collection filled with emotional urgency, brighter melodies, and memorable pop arrangements. Working again with producer Aaron Dessner, Abrams also collaborated with longtime friend Audrey Hobert, who helped shape the album's conversational lyrics and personal storytelling. Songs such as "Risk" and "I Love You, I'm Sorry" explore the excitement, uncertainty, and complications of relationships, while the Taylor Swift collaboration "us." adds another dimension to the album's reflections on love and regret. Throughout the recording, acoustic guitars, piano, layered vocals, and energetic rhythms give Abrams room to move between quieter confessions and powerful choruses. Originally released in 2024, the album also includes the fan-favorite "Close To You," a song that had circulated in an earlier form for years before its official release. This indie exclusive edition is pressed on Dark Pomegranate colored vinyl.

Type O Negative - October Rust (Indie Exclusive, Rocktober, 2LP Picture Discs)
Type O Negative's fourth studio album, October Rust, remains one of the defining releases of gothic metal, combining heavy guitars, atmospheric keyboards, and Peter Steele's unmistakably deep vocals with an unusual mixture of romance, melancholy, and dark humor. Originally released in 1996, the album marked a more melodic direction for the Brooklyn band following the success of Bloody Kisses, bringing greater emphasis to haunting melodies and elaborate arrangements. "Love You to Death" builds from delicate piano passages into a powerful expression of romantic obsession, while "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" pairs provocative lyrics with an infectious, driving rhythm. Elsewhere, "Green Man" reflects Steele's fascination with nature, and the band's interpretation of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" transforms the classic into a heavier gothic metal performance. Celebrating the album's 30th anniversary, this indie exclusive Rocktober release features two collectible picture discs housed in a die-cut gatefold jacket, giving one of Type O Negative's most celebrated recordings a distinctive vinyl presentation.

Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas (180g Audiophile Vinyl, Original Jazz Classics with Stoughton Tip-On Jacket)
Few holiday recordings have become as closely associated with Christmas as Vince Guaraldi's music for the 1965 animated television special A Charlie Brown Christmas. Blending traditional seasonal melodies with original jazz compositions, Guaraldi created a soundtrack that introduced generations of listeners to his distinctive piano playing and the relaxed rhythms of West Coast jazz. The instantly recognizable "Linus And Lucy" remains one of the most beloved instrumental themes in television history, while "Christmas Time Is Here" appears in both instrumental and children's choir versions, bringing a quieter, more reflective character to the album. Other highlights include the lively piano passages of "Skating" and Guaraldi's interpretations of familiar Christmas standards. This Original Jazz Classics reissue receives AAA all-analog mastering by Matthew Lutthans from the original tapes and is pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. A premium Stoughton tip-on jacket with an obi strip completes this carefully produced edition of a timeless holiday jazz recording.Remi Wolf - Mud (Indie Exclusive, Metallic Smoke Colored Vinyl LP)
