New We Are Scientist Album On Vinyl
This is the group's fourth full-length. It was produced in New York by indie studio guru Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, Beach House) and includes the previously issued EP cuts "Dumb Luck" and "Return the Favor," while "Courage" appears in its completed form following the prior demo.
In a statement, singer-guitarist Keith Murray explained of the album, "We wanted to get at the seemingly inevitable parallax that happens between two people in a relationship, that sense that you get the gist of what the other person needs and wants and how they feel about you, but only the gist — you're relying on these broad cues a lot of the time to tell you what the hell's going on."

DAVE EDMUNDS - REPEAT WHEN NECESSARY
Welsh Rocker David William 'Dave' Edmunds successfully combined traditional Rhythm & Blues with Soul and Rockabilly. In the late Seventies he released a string of bestselling albums, following a distinct formula that combined the energy of Pub Rock with Rockabilly swing. Edmunds must have thought: 'don't fix what isn't broken', revealed by his 1979 album title: Repeat When Necessary.
Behind him are Rockpile, the band that Edmunds formed with famed musician Nick Lowe in the mid Seventies, along with Billy Bremner and Terry Williams. Playing solid, rockin' rhythms, the group provides a sturdy foundation for Edmunds' entertaining croon – Fifties vibe meets Seventies sound. Recommended for fans of Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe!
The LP was recorded and released at the same time as Nick Lowe's Labour Of Lust, with the same set of Rockpile musicians. Only the guest musicians differed per album. On Repeat When Necessary by Dave Edmunds, guest appearances were made by Huey Lewis, Albert Lee and Roger Bechirian.
While the record mainly consists of (obscure) cover tunes, two songs were later recorded by famous artists as "Girls Talk" (written by Elvis Costello) was recorded later that year by Elvis Costello & The Attractions, and "Bad Is Bad" (written by Huey Lewis) was recorded years later by Huey Lewis & The News. 180 gram audiophile vinyl and Insert
THELONIOUS MONK - SOLO MONK
Recorded in late 1964 and produced by Teo Macero, Solo Monk is the 8th album Thelonious Monk released for Columbia Records. As the title implies, this album consists purely of Monk's solo piano playing. He handles classic Pop standards like "Dinah" and "Sweet And Lovely", but beautifully executes his own compositions like the bluesy "North Of The Sunset", "Ruby, My Dear" and "Monk's Point". If there is any album to own by Thelonious Monk, Solo Monk is clearly it. On 180 gram audiophile vinyl !
