Ahead of their new album Sol Y Sombra out Jan 24th, Rose City Band have shared ebullient new single “Seeds of Light”.

Listen to "Seeds of Light"

The song's delicious groove set by drummer John Jeffrey is buoyed by Ripley Johnson’s guitar lines, dancing with the elegant pedal steel work of Barry Walker. Johnson's laid-back vocals glide alongside Sanae Yamada’s, together floating above the rhythmic bed, landing on a juicy, psychedelic, carpet of wah-wah. Joyous, transportive and irresistible.

You can grab the limited-edition clear w/ pink LP now, limited to 500 copies, featuring gorgeous illustrations from Taylor W. Rushing that remind us of the covers of our favorite rare private press psych and country oddities. 

And that's not all - we also have a tasty new Rose City Band hoodie up for preorder, available exclusively for mail order, and perfect for keeping you warm and stylish through the winter.

Rose City Band will be touring throughout 2025, with an extensive run of full-band shows in North America followed by Europe and UK dates, with more worldwide dates to be announced. Full list of dates here.

Following the announcement of their debut collaborative album Split Scale, due out January 24th, acclaimed Berlin composers Brueder Selke & Midori Hirano share aching, minimalist new single "Scale A".

Listen to "Scale A" now

Opening the new album, “Scale A” begins the conversation between the artists, the first step on a "long, colorful staircase" as Hirano describes it. Hirano feels out the space with a minimal, aching piano arpeggio resonating out into the void, with Brueder Selke adding subtle texture and color with washes of smudged cello and synthesizer.

Split Scale is available to preorder now on limited-edition clear LP.

Two titans of modern psychedelic music and space-rock reunite for another mind-melting collaboration, with a new installment in Gnod & White Hills legendary, ongoing Drop Out series. 

Listen / preorder Drop Out III now

Drop Out III is a wholly new iteration of Gnod & White Hills’ collaboration, the “director’s cut,” if you will. Drop Out III is replete with sounds recorded in the “Drop Out era” that have never been heard before.

The double LP features a cornucopia of expanded versions of essential songs complete with new arrangements, mixes, and instrumentation. Classics like “Run-A-Round” (up to listen on our site now) and the eponymous “Drop Out” maintain their motorik drive and fizzing melodies with a new shine. The set also features a full LP of pieces never before included on vinyl, including the beautifully serene “Air Streams” in its original droning arc. The album comes with a download of a full album’s worth of bonus material, all crafted around the Drop Out era.

The crystal clear LP version is VERY limited, also available in the UK via our special partnership with Norman Records!

Opaque orange LPs are available to EU/UK customers through our partners at anost.net and will be made available to US customers after clear sells out!

Gnod & White Hills will be performing a collaborative set including material from Drop Out for the first time ever at Roadburn Festival 2025.

Wrekmeister Harmonies have announced vital, expansive new album Flowers in the Spring, out February 21st.

Listen / preorder now

Following expansive collaborations with similarly adventurous artists including Ryley Walker, Thor Harris (Swans), The Body, Mary Lattimore, Olivia Block and many more, Flowers in the Spring strips the group’s music back to its most pure and potent form. The album's vital, hypnagogic sonics are underpinned by the ever-present thrum of the drone - the mystic life-force feeding each piece from towering amplifier worship to gelid ambience.

Alongside the announcement, Wrekmeister Harmonies share the album's colossal title track. “Flowers In The Spring” emerges from fizzing distortion, the band's JR Robinson hewing monolithic slabs of drone from the rock face. Twirling electronics and rippling overtones push up through the fissures like the first signs of life emerging after winter's deep freeze.

Listen to "Flowers In The Spring" now

Wrekmeister Harmonies will be touring in 2025 around the release, sign up to our newsletter to get the news on tour dates and new singles first.

We're ecstatic to welcome Jules Reidy to the Thrill Jockey roster, with their sublime new solo album Ghost/Spirit due out Feb. 21st, 2025. 

Listen / preorder now 

Jules Reidy is an entire musical cosmos unto themselves. One of the most visionary artists working in Berlin – and indeed anywhere right now, Reidy’s breathtaking recordings and magnetic performances offer a truly futuristic, singular vision of guitar music. Their forthcoming new album Ghost/Spirit presents another major leap forward, compiling some of their most absorbing and affecting music to date. The songs convey an astral sense of yearning and wonder, expressed in fractal guitar figures, ethereal vocal vapors and rippling microtones.

Alongside the announcement, Reidy has also shared new single "Every Day There's a Sunset". Embodying the album's narrative, "Every Day There's a Sunset" invokes dense flurries of overwhelming emotion, with Reidy's spiralling guitars and aching vocals ascending skyward, bolstered by juddering electronics and rumbling bass samples from Andreas Dzialocha, Reidy’s collaborator in new duo Sun Kit.

Jules Reidy's Ghost/Spirit is available to preorder now on limited-edition white LP.
