The past seven days have been another week stuffed with both big and exciting coming soon announcements. Here we do our best to recap the majority of it for you...
Queens of the Stone Age - In Times New Roman
The big news of the week was the announcement of a brand new album from desert rock legends Queens of the Stone Age. Naturally it now heads up our Featured Releases section.
The band's first album since 2017 offers up some of the best sleeve art we've seen in a while and, for those who like to indulge in variants, comes available in no less than five different coloured vinyl editions.
Grian Chatten - Chaos For The Fly
The lad Grian Chatten from Fontaines D.C. announced his debut solo album last week and we expect it to be a popular one for 2023. Speaking about the desire to release a solo record, Chatten said “I just thought: I want to do this myself. I know where we as a band are going next and that’s not where I want to go with this. I’ve got a couple of exaggerated aspects of my soul that I wanted to express."
Due at the end of June, it can be pre-ordered now on white vinyl, black vinyl, and CD:

A Place To Bury Strangers - Live At Levitation
Being the huge A Place To Bury Strangers fans that we are at RC HQ, the release of the New York noise rockers direct to vinyl Live At Levitation set has us especially excited!
Recorded in 2021, the show was the second as a "new band" following the departure and arrival of band members. This brought a new dimension to the band which has been archived beautifully here.
⚠️ Warning - We've been told that stock is extremely limited on this one, so pre-ordering is highly encouraged to avoid disappointment! ⚠️
Various Artists - Pop Psychedelique
First released at the tail end of 2021, this double LP compilation of cool, fuzzy French pop compilation was hugely popular and sold out pretty quickly.
In June we're being treated to a welcome repress, this time on 'jasmine yellow' vinyl - limited to 400 units. If you missed out last time, do yourself a favour and pounce on this one early:
