A Tribe Called Quest – We Got It From Here, Thank You for Your Service

After the passing of Phife Dawg, the last thing ATCQ fans expected was a new album.

The groups sixth album will be released with a slew of guests including Kendrick Lamar, Jack White, and André 3000.

Justice – Woman

Thee Oh Sees – An Odd Entrances

Thee Oh Sees’ brand of psychedelic garage rock is a big hit in college radio. This is their second album of 2016.  It was recorded during the same studio sessions as A Weird Exits, so expect more of the same fuzzy distorted warmth in their sound.

Title Tracks – Long Dream

November 25

Kate Bush – Before the Dawn

Kate Bush is not known for live performances. Since her first tour in 1979, Bush had focused almost entirely on writing and recording music in the studio setting.
