Her synth-driven new single, High By The Beach was released on August 10th and is the follow up to her last single, Honeymoon, which takes a more orchestral approach. The singer revealed the album title to Billboard in January. It's very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise, she said. Last year, Del Rey released Ultraviolence and contributed 2 songs Big Eyes and I Can Fly to the Tim Burton film Big Eyes as well as songs to the film, Age of Adeline starring Blake Lively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Honeymoon\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Music To Watch Boys To\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Terrence Loves You\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        God Knows I Tried\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        High By The Beach\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Freak\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC1        Art Deco\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC2        Burnt Norton (Interlude)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC3        Religion\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC4        Salvatore\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD1        The Blackest Day\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD2        24\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD3        Swan Song\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD4        Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: ‎‎Interscope\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.

Includes liner notes by Bob Dylan.\r\nHowls of rage greeted Bob Dylan as he presented the world with rock music--he was roundly booed at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. Yet here is one of those moments of cross-influence that changed the course of popular music. BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME gave Dylan an audience on a plate; it was a massive breakthrough. An album of two different sides, acoustic (his past) and electric (his future), it contains milestones in the blues-rockers \"Maggie's Farm\" and \"Subterranean Home Sick Blues,\" the future Byrds hit \"Mr. Tambourine Man,\" and the transcendently poetic \"It's Alright, Ma.\" You can debate the \"is it folk or is it rock\" argument forever.

Like Nathan East, The New Cool is a Yamaha release. The label wing of the manufacturer also supplied the duo with instruments and enabled them to make this predominantly acoustic set of eight originals and three interpretations. Drummer Scott Williamson, percussionist Rafael Padilla, and an orchestra -- with David Davidson as concertmaster -- are all involved, yet they're employed sparingly and leave the spotlight to East and James. The album sounds like it was easy and fun to make -- one can sense joy and deep focus in the interplay -- as the material is predominantly amiable and laid-back. It's almost entirely instrumental, with East adding some occasional soft scatting, while Vince Gill drops by for the lone \"proper\" vocal inclusion on an elegant recasting of Willie Nelson's \"Crazy.\" Just when it seems as if The New Cool will end as it began, in sunny and mellow form, the closing \"Turbulence\" develops into what's easily the album's most active cut. Composer James lets loose with some athletic electric piano, East's bass is at its taut and melodic best, and Williamson, known most for his work on contemporary country and Christian sessions, shows that he can also hang with two crucial jazz rhythm-section dignitaries. This is a pleasant, if inessential, addition to the catalogs of the two musicians. ~ Andy Kellman\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bob James \/ Nathan East","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581949931753,"sku":"0WRPRW-CIB6-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/bob-james-nathan-east-new-cool_PPkGq.jpg?v=1759264665"},{"product_id":"frank-zappa-mudshark-live","title":"Mudshark Live","description":"\u003cp\u003eMudshark Live is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Frank Zappa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Frank Zappa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582327550185,"sku":"1EL31S-Q5CG-00","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Frank-Zappa-Mudshark-Live_SrYw0.png?v=1758905595"},{"product_id":"statik-selektah-lucky-7","title":"Lucky 7","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatik Selektah is a renowned DJ and Producer based in NYC, born and raised in Boston.

So when a long-standing, working-class band has -- count 'em -- 11 studio records, a classic EP, a covers album, and a double-live opus under their studded belt, metal aficionados have to at least give Wrecking Everything -- Live a couple of listens and nod their heads in respect to such a wily, stubborn outfit. Longtime fans will no doubt appreciate the fact that none of the songs utilized for 1995's Wrecking Your Neck are repeated here, Overkill having arguably their most prolific period (four rock-solid studio cinderblocks) since then. But Wrecking Everything -- Live still harkens back to 1985 with \"Overkill\" and includes choice nuggets from eight albums in the catalog, standouts being muscular riff monster \"Long Time Dyin',\" speed demon \"Shred,\" and nefarious tempo-shifter \"Evil Never Dies\"; only the long-winded pseudo-ballad \"The Years of Decay\" sounds extraneous and dated. Otherwise, it's balls-out thrash from start to finish, recorded in the band's New Jersey stomping grounds and enhanced by a gutsy, clean, and powerful mix that makes Wrecking Your Neck sound thin and tinny in comparison. And one can't ignore Ellsworth's ever-strong vocal contributions -- gotta love that brutal, three-packs-a-day rasp -- and undeniable energy; fans who have witnessed Overkill live can attest to the wiry singer's sweaty, non-stop, Iggy Pop-like stage presence, something impossible to catch strictly on audio, but here at least in spirit. Shrugging off Wrecking Everything -- Live as inessential (what? Yet another Overkill disc?) is tempting, but this punchy and aggressive live document makes the ever-tenacious outfit sound as if they have something to prove -- which few outfits with 18 years in the biz so convincingly possess.

Wildin' out and making news is what drives the man, but it wouldn't hurt if he talked about artistic growth as well because Bang 3 is a serious step up from his debut.

Mac Miller makes a guest appearance while Zaytoven and house crew Glo Gang Productions handle most of the beats. ~ David Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chief Keef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589313786089,"sku":"FFAE4H-9JW7-00","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/chief-keef-bang-3_k0app.jpg?v=1759442089"},{"product_id":"grateful-dead-30-trips-around-the-sun-the-definitive-live-story","title":"30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY","description":"Personnel: Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar);

Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (03\/18\/1971).\nPhotographers: Mary Ann Mayer; Herb Greene; Paul Ryan.\nInitially released as a limited-edition box set so lavish it was on the verge of being absurd, 30 Trips Around the Sun is a deep exploration of a simple idea: tell the Grateful Dead's story through unreleased live performances taken from every year of their life. This concept reaches its full fruition in its 80-CD incarnation, containing a full unreleased show for every year between 1966 and 1995, but the four-CD distillation operates in a similar fashion and may seem more attractive to Deadheads unwilling to immerse themselves in a monthlong listening session. The closest analogy to 30 Trips in their discography is 1999's So Many Roads (1965-1995), a five-disc box heavy on unreleased live material, but that set wound up skipping over the fallow periods a chronological march inevitably hits. Aware of this pitfall, the archivists behind 30 Trips selected the finest unreleased shows from each of these 30 years and, for this set, chose to showcase songs that rarely appeared in the Dead's repertoire. This turns out to be a fairly broad category, encompassing Pigpen singing Lightnin' Hopkins \"The Rub\" in 1971 and Donna Jean Godchaux debuting with the band in 1972 via a duet with Jerry Garcia on Dolly Parton's \"Tomorrow Is Forever,\" as well as Phil Lesh singing Robbie Robertson's \"Broken Arrow\" in 1993 and a bittersweet \"Visions of Johanna\" from 1995 that closes out the set. As its considerably shorter than its parent, the four-disc 30 Trips Around the Sun never lingers upon the eras of the Dead that cause consternation among fans -- here, Brent Mydland's synths don't seem quite so prominent and Vince Welnick's penchant for sambas is hidden -- yet this shorter box still illustrates how these eras bled together or echoed throughout the Dead's history. Most of all, 30 Trips illustrates how the Dead kept circling back to their folk and blues beginnings no matter who supplemented the core quintet of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart. While the four or five main keyboardists brought their own signatures (particularly Pigpen, whose rough-hewn growl provided a gritty counterpart to the band's spacy early explorations), come 1971, the year after the twin masterpieces of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, the Dead maintained a groove more psychedelic in spirit than sound. Although this truncation emphasizes this continuity, it's still possible to hear how the band's first 15 years were a rapid progression while the second 15 were about reliability, but perhaps the most affecting thing about 30 Trips is the simple passing of time. By the end, Jerry's voice sounds rough and fragile, Weir's confidence surges, Lesh's lines are elastic, and the \"Drums\" showcase for Kreutzmann and Hart turns exploration into schtick -- it's a mix of emotion and show that's endearing and even moving. If you take all 30 trips, the Dead's journey feels long and sweet and unlike anything else in rock. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grateful Dead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589316210921,"sku":"3UPV5Z-TAEI-00","price":51.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/grateful-dead-30-trips-around-the-sun-the-definitive-live-story_In6jj.jpg?v=1740698415"},{"product_id":"bob-dylan-nashville-skyline","title":"Nashville Skyline","description":"\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar); Kenny Buttrey, Charles McCoy, Pete Drake, Norman Blake, Charlie Daniels, Bob Wilson, Johnny Cash.

His massive hit \"Commas\" -- which only appears on the \"Deluxe\" version of this album -- was more of an expected move coming from a party rapper who's always drenched in Auto-Tune, and often with purple drank in hand. With the release of the album DS2 -- Dirty Sprite 2, named after his hit mixtape -- he becomes a hip-hop version of Lee \"Scratch\" Perry, a strange and yet in command figure standing at the center of a slick, inventive swirl of music. Strange as in \"I ain't got no manners for sluts\/I'ma put my thumb in her butt,\" which he declares during the Xanax-fueled highlight \"Stick Talk.\" Singer Miguel might make that sound smooth, but butt man Future also notes \"Started sipping syrup, I've been geeked ever since.\" Could be true, since hallucinatory seems to be home base for everything here, including the persuasive \"Rich $ex,\" which is Ludacris' \"Pimpin' All Over the World\" melting into a Salvador Dali painting. The love of drugs comes from the quest to see something new as \"Groupies\" declares \"Sip on my cup, it's a movie\/I pop a perc, it's a movie\" before delivering the album's ultimate punch line, \"I smoke that ooh-la-la like a Fugee.\" \"Slave Master\" is the album's bad trip, and still a highlight, as slowly dissolving keyboards and a melancholic Future pay homage to the late A$AP Yams, who died of accidental acute mixed drug intoxication, an irony the rapper seems to acknowledge by drifting over words as the song comes to a close. Even so, \"I just took a piss and saw codeine comin' out\" is the way he rolls, so consider this a Schedule 2 album and lock up the medicine cabinet because Future makes it sound like the gateway to a magical, luminous place. ~ David Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Future","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44594972229865,"sku":"JYSF78-YEAK-00","price":42.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/future-ds2deluxe-explicit_aW3Vc.jpg?v=1759089865"},{"product_id":"front-bottoms-back-on-top","title":"BACK ON TOP","description":"The third studio long player from the quirky, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based indie rockers, the Fueled by Ramen-issued Back on Top finds the Front Bottoms making the jump to a major label without losing any authenticity in process.

The results are predictable: The band sounds precise, energetic, and lively, but there is a certain spark missing. As brutal as the versions of such songs as \"New York State Police\" and \"Teenage\" are, they simply don't measure up to the original recordings, making this album somewhat pointless. It does serve as a nice sampler of the Subs' most notable songs from their first eight albums, which would indicate it's a decent introduction for newcomers. Still, it would seem to be a wiser idea for those newcomers to start with the Singles 1978-1982 anthology. It would be even better to track down the first four Subs albums to hear the original lineup bash out far more bloodthirsty versions of most of these tracks.

Richmond, Virginia's loud-and-proud Windhand, signed with Relapse after Soma, their grimy sophomore album, received rave reviews and made a slew of 2013 year-end lists. Expectations run high for Grief's Infernal Flower. Produced by Jack Endino (Nirvana's Bleach and Soundgarden's Screaming Life), the sound on most of this set is enormous. It may be just a tad less gritty, and the songs are (a bit) tighter and shorter -- there are no half-hour marathons. There is a more expansive sonic approach to the songwriting and vocal production on this date. Vocalist Dorthia Cottrell's commanding presence bends the riff-o-sonic wall of sludge to her will and reveals more subtle post-psych melodies and actual hooks that lurk within them -- check the stellar \"Two Urns\" and \"Crypt Key.\" Parker Chandler's uber-low, mega-fuzzed bass throb and Ryan Wolfe's drumming govern the instrumental attack, leaving ample opportunity for guitarists Asechiah Bogdan and Garrett Morris to focus on plodding power riffs and spiral around one another in solos on the epic-length tracks. On the blistering \"Forest Clouds,\" Cottrell rides every circular vamp, rising with more power until it all collapses around her. Windhand attempt a wall-plastering psych-blues groove and syncopation simultaneously on \"Tanngrisnir.\" They only partially succeed but they earn points for the attempt. Cottrell has two solo vocal and acoustic guitar numbers here, \"Sparrow\" and closer \"Aition,\" which stand with Grief's Infernal Flower's best moments even if they seem like outliers. She released a killer self-titled solo album earlier in 2015; these tracks -- equal parts Townes Van Zandt, Conny Ochs, Steve Von Till, and Jeffrey Lee Pierce -- could have come from those sessions. \"Hesperus\" is the first of two back-to-back 14-minute jams. Despite its glacial-paced riffing, it eventually erupts in a blackout squall of guitar distortion and dissolute drumming. \"Kingfisher\" begins more abstractly before the doomy stoner vibe grabs center stage, one Sabbath-esque riff at a time. Cottrell is at her most physical here, using her low range to carve a pronounced melody from the guitar-and-bass attack. It's just as menacing but more alluring, which makes the whole thing more sinister. Grief's Infernal Flower is almost doom-by-the-numbers (which should reassure fans), but Endino's production, Cottrell's vocal confidence and lyricism, and the band's willingness to push its grooves into the red, offer an admirable next step. ~ Thom Jurek\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/18\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WINDHAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44600495898857,"sku":"8AKK6H-VM5K-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/windhand-griefs-infernal-flower_hgxxj.jpg?v=1759345326"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/music-releases-09-18-2015.oembed?page=2","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
