2020 ISSUE 20 September 18 ORDERS DUE AUGUST 14 RUN THE JEWELS, the dynamic duo of rap, continue their scintillating journey into the hearts and minds of music lovers everywhere with their latest and greatest album to date - RTJ4. And like its predecessors, RTJ4 is rooted in hip hop fundamentals - 2 brilliant MC’s letting loose over brilliant beats - while extending its reach into various worlds. The new album includes collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, Mavis Staples, 2 Chainz and DJ Premier, and was recorded primarily at Rick Rubin’s Shangri La Studios and the iconic Electric Lady Studios in NYC.

Atlanta’s KILLER MIKE and Brooklyn’s EL-P have already carved RTJ’s initials into the cultural landscape with their bold and brutally relevant voices matched with a completely unique and engaging production style. The resulting alchemy has won them adherents and accolades across genres while remaining fundamentally what it is - authentic, important and engaging music.

TRACKLISTING RTJ4 represents the next step in their evolution, taking RUN THE JEWELS from the 1. yankee and the brave (ep. 4) biggest underground group in the world to the best rap group in the game. 2. ooh la la (FT.

4 050538 621174 Ace Frehley, a 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, continues his reflections on a lifetime in music with “Origins, Vol. 2.” No stranger to cover versions throughout his musical history — having recorded, rebranded and repossessed such notable nuggets as “New York Groove,” “Do Ya” and “I Wanna Go Back” over the course of his eight previous studio efforts — this new collection presents a thoughtful and exciting selection of songs that inspired and helped shape the legendary guitarist. Foremost of importance to the original Spaceman is delivering an album his fans will enjoy, but one where every song also has a place in his life’s jukebox. As the second volume focusing on his musical origins, Ace has also grown since “Origins, Vol. 1” was released in April 2016. That album hit #23 on the Billboard Top- 200 charts becoming his 4th top-40 and second highest charting solo album — and there’s no questioning Ace’s productivity with this album being his fifth recorded work in a decade! Ace chuckles, “Since I had one covers album under my belt, the process of doing ‘Origins, Vol. 2’ was easier because I had put together a formula, picking guest stars and so-on.” The challenge for him was to put a suitable personal stamp on the material, and “Origins, Vol. 2” is replete with special touches that both honor and embellish the material.

It was the first of their original albums to feature Danny Kirwan and the last with Peter Green.

An unrelenting end of the world assault of the cataclysmic convergence of thrash and hardcore, with bits of blackened death and mid-tempo madness to spare, the Detroit master blasters are here to crash the crossover party. Summoning the primitive spirit of the singular moment when the heaviest of metal first smashed into a circle pit, PLAGUE YEARS reignite the flame with sharp fury.

In the case of USA-based metal trio Raven, featuring the English brothers John (bass, vocals) and Mark (guitar) Gallagher, it was the unanimously positive reactions to their 2015 release ExtermiNation, and of course the arrival of drummer Mike Heller (he joined the fold in summer 2017 to replace Joe Hasselvander, who had left the band due to health issues) which resulted in an awesome new album. “Our initial goal was just to raise the bar once more. We did a good job on ExtermiNation and decided we just wanted more of everything next time,” John Gallagher grins. “however things changed once we got Mike on board. Attitude and tempos got revved up a lot! Mike is a ball of energy. He has a good ear and is a big fan of the early albums, especially the crazy feel. He’s kicked us into a higher gear where we feel that we can play anything and everything we write with no restrictions.” Gallagher’s explanations ring with pure, unadulterated musical enthusiasm and passion, so curtain up for Metal City, which sees Raven deliver ten songs with no holds barred. Metal City will be available on Steamhammer/SPV from September 18 th , 2020 on CD, vinyl LP and as digital stream/download.

Grounding her timeless country music palette is her crystalline voice; an inviting warm tone with the occasional flutter that transports you back in time to a classic honky tonk where they’re playing the aforementioned Cline, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton on rotation — all of whom she has carried from the dive bar to the main stage. Bailey brings that same spirit to the 21st century through relatably raw, non-sugarcoated TRACK LISTING songwriting that may seem unexpected from most contemporary female musicians in the country realm. She shines a relevant light on some of the Honky Tonk Woman shadier corners of the genre not typically addressed, such as the hypocrisy The Beginning that can be found in the outlaw country mindset, all while evoking a fiery, no-holds-barred lyrical approach in the vein of Margo Price. Ramblinʼ Man Produced by Jeremy Long, Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline is a whiskey Spent My Dime on White Wine -smooth concoction of crisp guitars, silky fiddle, and radiant pedal steel that expertly glides beneath Bailey’s magnetic, California sun-kissed Homegrown Roots soprano. Bailey’s full-length label debut — a nine-song collection featuring Tennessee eight originals and one cover — paints stunning vignettes spanning from adrenaline-rushing love at first sight and down-and-out heartache, to Outlaws treasuring country music’s indelible roots, and the wavering journey of Skid Row resilience when chasing one’s dreams.

Artist The String Theory Album The Los Angeles Suite CD Album Release September 25, 2020 UPC 4260687660027 List Price $11.98 File Under Pop/Alternative

Grammy-nominated neoclassical pop orchestra from Berlin/Gothenburg releases new album on newly founded label Project C/Clouds Hill.

Maverick orchestra The String Theory may be known primarily for their long-term collaboration with the gentle Swedish troubadour José Gonzá lez,yet have over time grown into a massive artist collective in their own right, curiously exploring the outskirts of contemporary neoclassical and electronic music. The ensemble first came together in Berlin in 2007 as the brainchild of composers Ben Lauber and PC Nackt, and has since then toured the USA and Europe five times and released five albums – one of which moved the Recording Academy to nominate it for a Grammy 2020 for ‘Best Spoken Word Album’.

Initially convening for a one-off recording workshop and week-long party with fellow artists from their native Berlin music scene, The String Theory continued to highlight the ensemble’s unique talent in the years since, re-channeling the energy of German heavyweights Richard Wagner and Einstü rzende Neubauten as well as contemporary minimalist composers like Steve Reich and John Cale into lush string arrangements and experimental electronic soundcapes. While in some contexts this may sound more like a ‘hm, interesting idea...’ rather than an actually entertaining performance concept that could engross an audience, The String Theory have managed to distill their inexorable spirit into rapturous live concerts that garnered critical praise all over Europe and the USA.

Specialist was the first album by the full group since 1982’s legendary Pirates Choice, a holy grail for African music fans. Recorded live at London’s Livingston Studios in just ten days and produced by Nick Gold with Youssou N’Dour, Specialist In All Styles is a milestone in African music—an inspired, diverse and entirely contemporary take on Baobab’s original Afro-Latin magic, introducing new material and reinventing some of the old tunes that made them legends.
