New record pressing – Selken – The Winds.

SELKEN is the bummer pop/indie rock project of Chicago songwriter Heather Styka. Styka writes lyrics-forward songs that “make you feel as if you are peeking into her diary” (No Depression) with a “talent for telling stories and connecting emotionally” (Glide Magazine). While the melodies of SELKEN draw from vintage pop and alt-country, the instrumentation layers indie rock with a shimmer of ambient synths.

After over a decade of touring nationally as a solo folk artist, Styka was grounded like the rest of world in 2020, which allowed her to realize she desired a change — to stay rooted in Chicago, collaborate with a band, and find new sonic textures. Styka teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist JG Shadid to create SELKEN’s debut album, The Winds. Shadid’s wide-ranging expertise as an Emmy-nominated composer, educator on YouTube’s Reverb channel, and co-founder/curator of The Red Room paired well with Styka’s introspective approach to song craft. 

Having spent her artistic career chasing the stripped-down honesty of folk, Styka wanted to create a sound with more — pairing siren-song vocals with a dash of playful glamour and the fun of a good groove. The result is a sparkling, cathartic exploration of personal and societal sea change, of burying old dreams to make room for new ones.

New record pressing – Olive Klug – Lost Dog: It’s been a short time since the van-dwelling Olive Klug has fully pursued the life of a touring musician. Their DIY career has resulted in a huge following with over 20 million Spotify streams, nearly 200,000 TikTok followers, and 100,000+ Instagram followers. Self-described as “someone who floats on the breeze, letting the wind take me wherever I’m meant to be,” Klug’s sophomore album and label debut Lost Dog finds them contemplating this propensity for adventure no matter which avenue of love and loss it leads down.

Although still very young, Klug artfully addresses “aging as a neurodivergent free spirit” on the road with a compelling ability to voice honest emotions through captivating storytelling. Audiotree praised, ”equal parts vulnerable and powerful, ebullient and heartbreaking, reminding us how powerful the journey of music can be.” Olive Klug is a singular voice for the future of folk: honest, fearless, often unsure, but willing to try anyway.

New record pressing – Caitlin Cannon – Love Addict:

A bold, genre-defying body of work produced by Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson). Blending dreamy Americana with classic country, the 10-track record swirls with intergalactic pedal steel, gritty grooves, and raw, unguarded lyrics. Recorded live, the album captures the spontaneity of guitars bleeding into keys, drums, strings, and more, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Think “cosmicana”—a sonic landscape as deep and evocative as Cannon’s storytelling.

Available May 9, 2025.

New Record Pressing – Destroyer – Dan’s Boogie.

Dan’s Boogie is, in true Destroyer fashion, a contradiction: a breakthrough album for Dan Bejar that began its life as a disappearing act and, as such, does things no Destroyer album to this point has ever done. Its nine songs imagine Bejar as a lounge singer, a hustler, and, at times, a supporting character in his own fantasies in nine all-timer Destroyer songs that have the urgency of a state secret hiding in the mind of a tortured spy.
