New Vinyl Releases To Watch This Week: September 11, 2026

Green Lung - Necropolitan (Indie Exclusive, Midnight Sparkle/Starlight Glitter Vinyl with a 12-page Booklet)

Green Lung - Necropolitan, Indie Exclusive, <span>Midnight Sparkle/Starlight Glitter Vinyl with a 12-page Booklet, Packshot at Toucan Records

Green Lung return with Necropolitan, a dark, theatrical blend of doom metal, classic hard rock, and occult atmosphere built around huge guitar riffs, vintage keyboards, and Tom Templar's commanding vocals. The album leans into the band's fascination with folklore, death, nature, and supernatural imagery while keeping the music punchy and melodic rather than overwhelmingly bleak. Songs such as "Black Magick Radio," "Necropolitan Line," and "Evil in This House" move between heavy Sabbath-like grooves, dramatic hooks, and richly layered arrangements that give the record a suitably cinematic feel. This Indie Exclusive edition comes on Midnight Sparkle/Starlight Glitter vinyl and includes a 12-page booklet, making it an especially striking presentation of one of Green Lung's most ambitious releases yet.

Dance Gavin Dance - Pantheon (2LP, Indie Exclusive, Limited Edition, Sea Blue & Baby Blue Smush with Canary Yellow & Lemon Splatter)

Dance Gavin Dance push their signature blend of post-hardcore, progressive rock, and melodic experimentation into another dense, unpredictable chapter with Pantheon. The album shifts constantly between intricate guitar lines, sharp rhythmic turns, soaring clean vocals, harsher passages, and the kind of off-kilter hooks that have long defined the band's sound. Rather than settling into one mood, Pantheon moves from technical and aggressive to atmospheric and unexpectedly catchy, giving the record a restless energy that rewards repeat listens. This Indie Exclusive 2LP edition is pressed on Sea Blue and Baby Blue Smush vinyl with Canary Yellow and Lemon Splatter, adding an especially vivid visual counterpart to the album's colorful, high-impact production.

Sonny Rollins - Vol. 2 (Blue Note Tone Poet Series, Audiophile Vinyl)

Few jazz sessions can match the personnel assembled for Sonny Rollins' Vol. 2, a spirited 1957 hard bop date featuring J.J. Johnson on trombone, Horace Silver on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums. Rollins sounds characteristically commanding on tenor saxophone, moving from the buoyant originals "Why Don't I" and "Wail March" into inventive interpretations of standards including "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" and "Poor Butterfly." Thelonious Monk joins the group for two centerpiece performances of his compositions "Misterioso" and "Reflections," adding another distinctive voice to an already exceptional lineup. This mono Tone Poet edition was mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and housed in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open (2LP, 20th Anniversary, Cream Colored Vinyl)

Snow Patrol's Eyes Open became one of the defining alternative rock albums of the 2000s, turning the band's widescreen guitar sound and emotionally direct songwriting into a worldwide breakthrough. Released in 2006, the album balances intimate reflection with sweeping, arena-sized arrangements, most famously on "Chasing Cars," while "You're All I Have," "Open Your Eyes," and "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" show how effectively the band could move between urgency, melancholy, and restraint. Gary Lightbody's vocals remain the emotional center, framed by ringing guitars, steady rhythms, piano, and carefully built crescendos that give even the quieter songs a sense of scale. Two decades later, Eyes Open still carries the polished but deeply human character that made it so enduring. This 20th Anniversary 2LP edition expands the original album with B-sides, rarities, and "Signal Fire," and is pressed on cream colored vinyl.

Bloc Party - Anatomy of a Brief Romance, Limited Edition, Indie Exclusive, Red Colored Vinyl, Packshot at Toucan Records

Bloc Party return with Anatomy of a Brief Romance, their seventh studio album and a narrative record that follows the rise and collapse of a year-long relationship in intimate detail. Produced with Trevor Horn, the album balances the angular guitars and nervous energy that first defined the band with a more reflective, emotionally exposed approach. Songs such as "Coming On Strong," "Love Bombs," "Pigwig," and "Now We Can't Be Friends" move through attraction, tension, disillusionment, and aftermath, giving the record a clear sense of progression rather than a loose collection of tracks. Kele Okereke's writing keeps the story personal, while sharp rhythms, melodic guitar work, and shifting dynamics keep the music taut and unsettled. The tension between romance and fracture gives the album its character, while the production keeps those shifts defined. This Indie Exclusive Limited Edition is pressed on red colored vinyl.
