|
| A psychedelic mosaic with international scope, 30th Century Records Compilation Volume I touches both future and classic sounds from the sun-drenched shores of Brazil to the murky depths of Glasgow. Dan Auerbach's blistering riffage in The Arcs and Autolux's arty experimentalism are featured alongside Sam Cohen's rough-hewn authenticity and emotive rockers from newcomers like Nine Pound Shadow and Waterstrider. Compiled by Danger Mouse, this album finds guitar music alive and well from the garage to the depths of space. |

|
| Pure Mood oozes all things dank, dark and dreamy. The 12-track LP presents a vivid and searing collection of songs that re-imagine the shoegaze genre, allowing Ringo Deathstarr to soar beyond their contemporaries. “Heavy Metal Suicide'' and ''Stare At The Sun'' contain the same cathartic droning that has been previously celebrated by genre forefathers My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, while tracks like ''Never'' and ''Boys In Heat'' plunge the band and listener alike deep into the uncharted sonic depths of unadulterated, decadent sound. |

|
| In Ruin is the highly-anticpated album from Canadian metalheads, Cauldron. For the new album, the trio returned to the Lincoln County Social Club recording studio in Toronto, where they recorded two of their previous albums, including Burning Fortune (2011) and Tomorrow’s Lost (2012). Co-produced by Chris Stringer (Rush, Timber Timbre), In Ruin, is sure to deliver more riffs, more attitude and more modern heavy metal classics while laying waste to all of the genre’s imitators. Fans of early Goat Horn will be especially stoked! |

"My last record was a break up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make up record. I'm making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did." From 19 to 21 and, now, 25, British soul-bearing sensation, Adele, has done a lot of growing up in public. But, as she so eloquently stated, her new album is about moving onwards and upwards. A good thing, too, because why waste the momentum? With 19 she made an impression, but looked to become merely a footnote on this side of the pond. 2 years later she was a global sensation, her heartbroken aggression fueling a collection of passionate and undeniable songs so powerful that it would defy all expectations and sell over 30 million copies worldwide. Understandably, she took her time when considering her next move – and in the years that have transpired, Adele’s confidence is never cocky. 25 ain’t an album about answers – it’s an album about allowing yourself to live. The music has the same philosophy: It keeps on keepin’ on. There is evolution, sure, but evolution is slow. That said, the results are worth the wait. “25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realizing,” she says. “I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”

The Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS) is a group of some of the best independent music stores in America. CIMS was founded in 1995; its current membership is made up of 29 accounts that handle 47 stores in 21 states. Many of the accounts have been recognized by the music industry and their local communities for their outstanding dedication to customer service and developing artist support.
Each member is bound by its shared love of music, a reputation for great selection and customer service in its community, yet each CIMS account is as unique as the market it represents. Most importantly, CIMS member stores continually seek to challenge the jaded, color-by-numbers advertising and marketing of other retailers. |
