World Galaxy/Alpha Pup, 2019. New Copy ... $15.99 17.99
A record with a very striking title – and a wonderful sound to match – this warm, fluid blend of the vocals of Nia Andrews and a rich keyboard-heavy environment – one that features a fair bit of contributions from Mark De Clive-Lowe!

Eastwood Music Group, 2019. New Copy ... $19.99 20.00
A really special sort of record from the Bastards Of Soul – a Texas group, but one who work in this great mix of deep soul and slight southern rock touches – at a level that almost makes this album feel like some lost nugget from the vaults of Capricorn Records!

Leon Bridges —
Good Thing (180 gram pressing – with download) ... LP Columbia, 2018. New Copy ... $22.99
A soaring set from Leon Bridges – a full length second album that's every bit as classic as his debut, but in a completely different way!

Lounge (UK), 2019. New Copy 2LP ... $13.99
A really great full length set from Cool Million – a group who don't give us nearly as many records as we'd like – because by this time, they should have a recorded legacy to match that of Incognito or Brand New Heavies!

D'Angelo comes back after many years awol from the studio – and the result is a stunning new step in his music!

Legere (France), 2020. New Copy ... $19.99
No time for table games here – as Diazpora jump right in the groove from the very first note – working with a sweet 70s funk approach to their music, which means lots of riffing guitar, funky basslines, and horns punctuating the keys – all while lead singer Axel Maximilian Fiege ...

Warp, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $37.99 42.99
We really loved the Flamagra album from Flying Lotus, but this set of instrumentals maybe shows off even more of the deeper currents in his music!

The start of a great legacy for Foreign Exchange – a duo made up of equal parts MC Phonte of Little Brother and Dutch production wiz Nicolay! The record was a pretty fitting departure for Phonte – whose crew re-ignited the southern hip hop underground for cats without the pimp crunk ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Obe, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... Just Sold Out!

Sony (UK), 1993. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99

Night Time Stories/Beat (Japan), 2020. New Copy ... $42.99
A great live set from this very funky trio – recorded in our home city of Chicago, but with an appeal that's pretty darn universal!

Blue Note, 2005. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A pretty sweet batch of soulful, coffee house folk pop from Blue Note upstart Amos Lee – who's clearly being positioned by the label as a potential male Norah Jones – but don't hold it too much against him!

Schema (Italy), 2020. New Copy ... $18.99

Woman Who Raised Me ... LP Blue Note, 2020. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Maybe the straightest jazz set we've heard to date from Kandace Springs – a record that's got a great old school vibe overall, and the sorts of moody, dark-tinged qualities that takes us back to vintage material by Abbey Lincoln or Nina Simone – something we might not have said about ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
