IT'S HOT. But these announcements are real COOL. 

Angle that fan; grab a can and check em' out. 

Broken Bells
Into The Blue
30th Century / Aural Apothecary

Seeing as we are on a huge Danger Mouse hype at the moment with Cheat Codes, what better way to kick the Rundown off with the return of Broken Bells, the collaborative project between DM and The Shins guitarist and singer, James Mercer. Back with a bang after eight long years; we are so so stoked for this one. 




Hans Pucket
No Drama
Carpark Records

The sophomore record from New Zealand four-piece, Hans Pucket. Effortless feel-good guitar music about feeling bad.




Hagop Tchaparian
Bolts
Text

British-Armenian producer Hagop Tchaparian debuts on Kieran Hebden's Text label with Bolts, a high-flying offering of experimental, hand-made techno. Really cool. 




Winter
What Kind of Blue Are You?
Bar None

Samira Winter’s fourth LP sees her return to her shoegaze roots with a truly kaleidoscopic set of songs, some featuring guest performances from Sasami Ashworth and Hatchie. 




Dialect
Advanced Myth
RVNG Intl.

The wondrously inventive debut album from Dialect - aka Andrew PM Hunt. Digitally released back in 2015 and now pressed on vinyl for the first time with RVNG Intl. 




Terence Fixmer
Shifting Signals
Mute

Celebrated French techno-extraordinaire, Terence Fixmer returns with another outstanding offering of deeply dark and intensely pensive electronic music.




Twain
Noon
Keeled Scales

Big Thief contributor and Buck Meek's band member, Matthew Davidson - aka Twain - comes home to Keeled Scales for the first time in three years with Noon; a simplistic and inviting collection of subtly balanced Americana.




Abraxas
Monte Carlo
Suicide Squeeze Records

Abraxas is the new cross-Atlantic project by Carolina Faruolo (ex-Los Bitchos) and Danny Lee Blackwell (Night Beats). Self described as a world filled with jungles, mist-covered rivers and panthers lurking in the night; Monte Carlo is a whoozing, cosmic dose of pure Tropicalia.




The Dead Texan
The Dead Texan
Kranky

I am breaking the rules (again) and including another reissue to the Preorder Rundown.. but c'mon, cut me some slack... this is the first ever vinyl issue of the one and only record from The Dead Texan since it's release back in 2004. Beautifully blurred pieces that slowly swell and envelop. Super lush.



Also announced this week: First Aid Kit, Princess Chelsea, Old Fire, Will Sheff.

Reissues from: Love Battery, Japan, Rival Schools, and a triple helping of both Recoil and Bright Eyes.
