A La Sala
Shop NowKhrungbin’s 2020 album, Mordechai, helped put the psychedelic rock trio on the map with their upbeat party tunes. With their new album, A La Sala, the band shows their laid back side in beautiful way, with world music tinged trip-hop that is reminiscent of Morcheeba or Thievery Corporation. The perfect album heading into warmer weather, A La Sala transports you to a tropical beachside, umbrella cocktail in hand. This is just the album you will want to spin when you want to chill out at the end of a long day. Also available on CD.
JPEG RAW
Shop NowAlready known as a Blues guitar legend to many, multi-GRAMMY winning artist Gary Clark Jr. shows off his lyrical prowess in his new album, JPEG RAW. Deeply personal and socially conscious, Clark Jr’s lyrics showcase his authentic and outspoken nature. Musically, while retaining his blues roots, Clark this time adds flourishes of jazz, world music, rock, rap, and even spoken word to create a fresh new sound unlike anything you have heard before. Also available on CD.
Vampire Weekend
Shop NowBursting on the scene with the track "Oxford Comma", Vampire Weekend took the music world by storm in 2008 with their self-titled first album. Each track is a blend of catchy pop, synth, and world music along with cleverly crafted lyrics that make you want to get up, dance, and sing along at the top of your lungs. Landing itself on Pitchfork's “Top 200 Albums of the 2000s” and Rolling Stone's "500 Great Album of All-Time" lists, Vampire Weekend is an album you will want to listen to, again and again. Also available on CD.
Is This It
Shop NowGarnering tons of buzz before it was even released in 2001, the debut album by The Strokes lives up to its hype. 80's punk influenced, each track on Is This It packs a punch, with short bursts of infectious energy and irresistible hooks. Reminiscent of early Lou Reed, frontman Julian Casablancas brings the swagger as he howls, coos and invites you to join him on his next adventure. Is This It encapsulates the NYC music scene in the 2000s. Also available on CD.
