On their third album of 2023, the Dayton rockers embrace enormous production and more complex arrangements for their ever-odd pop songs.

Rhino / Rhino Atlantic
The first album where the band's well-known and exceedingly popular prog rock sound comes together completely -- presented here with new mixes and live tracks.
ATO
Jim James and his bandmates deliver nine sweetly sad songs for late, lonely nights in the Yuletide season.
Cherry Red
This deep dive into the band's sessions with Joe Meek offers a wealth of insight into their music and the producer's bag of tricks.
5BC
Unearthing of the true first album from the sorta-shoegaze North Carolinian outliers, recorded with (and remastered by) Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie.
Anagram / Elemental Music / Jazz Detective / Jazz Detective
A multi-disc set revealing the great vibraphonist as he plays his particular brand of Latin jazz in a club setting.

1973
With Valle on Fender Rhodes and Jose Roberto Bertrami on Mini-Moog and ARP, the album is more electronic than electric, but with soloists as talented as these, and a lifetime of musical instincts to draw on, the results are absolutely pristine. (Only Stevie Wonder was capable of coaxing the same type of warm, fluid grooves from his coterie of synthesizers, and integrating them so flawlessly into his productions.)
