What’s new?
The Israelites
In 1969, Desmond Dekker released Israelites. The first reggae record to top the UK chart and the first Jamaican sound to crack the American top ten.
Sentimentally Yours
In 1962, Patsy Cline released Sentimentally Yours. The last album she would release. It became a touchstone every female country singer who came after.
Vocalcity
In 2000, Luomo released Vocalcity. Six tracks, seventy-six minutes and proof that glitch music had a pulse all along.
The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
In 1966, the 13th Floor Elevators released The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators. The first album to put the word psychedelic on its cover and one of the few that actually earned it.
Black Origami
In 2017, Jlin released Black Origami. The record that took footwork (Chicago's 160bpm battle-dance music) somewhere nobody had before.
