v/a DROPPIN' SCIENCE: Greatest Samples From The Blue Note Lab 2xLP
*** "After years of mixtapes by artists such as Kon & Amir, Blue Note realized that heads really do want to hear these songs their favorite Hip Hop songs sampled. Dope collection of songs sampled by J DILLA, BRAND NUBIAN, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, B.I.G., & more."

v/a LOVE'S A REAL THING: The Funky, Fuzzy Sounds Of West Africa 2xLP
*** BACK IN PRINT! "Wow. Who knows what made afrobeat so damn trendy, but whatever it was, it wasn't a moment too soon. Stones Throw teams up with David Byrne's powerhouse Luaka Bop for an incredible compilation highlighting psychadelic obscurities from 'The Gold Coast to Cameroon'."

DEAD MEADOW Old Growth 2xLP
*** NOW ON VINYL!

GROWING Lateral 12" / CD
*** RECOMMENDED! "Lateral finds the band reflecting on their past two (may we add highly underrated) albums while gazing to the future with newfound rhythmic motifs and otherworldly heights to their sound sculptures. The textures are warm and inviting, tempting the listener to focus on stunning minimalist changes within Growing's dense aural fog."

GUILTY SIMPSON Gettin' B*tches / She Won't Stay Home 12"
*** From being featured on various Stones Throw projects, and a dope mixtape out now, Guilty Simpson is ready to hold his own with his first official single "Getting Bitches".

HELIOCENTRICS Out There LP / CD
*** NOW ON VINYL!

MICHAEL LIGGINS Loaded To... 12"
*** "More psychedelic funk rock flavor from Stones Throw subsidiary label Now Again. Nasty guitars and funky breaks."

MADLIB The Beat Conductor 2x7"
*** "The original Beat Conductor, before he started traveling."

MADLIB Remixes Vol. 2 2xEP
*** A popular MADLIB tour item was so popular it got the vinyl treatment. Madlib tones down the experimentation and throws NAS, RAEKWON, GHOSTFACE, MF DOOM and more over samples from 1977-1982.

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS Heretic Pride LP / CD
*** "For his new album, Darnielle has once more retreated into his imagination to conjure a suite of songs about mythical creatures, imaginary cults, slasher films and pulp fiction novelists. He's also come up with some of the most anthemic, impassioned and downright catchy songs of his career."

TROPICANA STEEL BAND / FATBACK BAND Spanish Hustle 12"
*** RECOMMENDED! "Two recordings of 'Spanish Hustle' are featured on this one, with Kon's re-edit of the Original Tropicana Steel Drum Band's rendition backed with the impossible-to-find 12-inch version from the Fatback Band."

VAMPIRE WEEKEND Vampire Weekend LP
*** NOW ON VINYL!

YESTERDAYS NEW QUINTET The Bomb Shelter 7"
