November 18 street date. Dualtone is proud to present a wonderful holiday music compilation featuring present and past artists from the label's roster performing unique takes on classic and original Christmas songs. Hear The Lumineers' take on "Blue Christmas," Delta Spirit's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," and a wry and relatable original song "It's Christmastime (Let's Just Survive)" by Kathleen Edwards, among many others. Also includes songs by Mt. Joy, Amos Lee, The Lone Bellow, Drew & Ellie Holcomb, Wild Child, Langhorne Slim, and Ivan & Alyosha.
August 6 street date (CD)/September 17 street date (LP). "Amerikinda: 20 Years of Dualtone" is truly a one-of-a-kind compilation album celebrating the life, legacy, and future of the label's musical family. As a testament to the community of artists they've been honoured to work with, and the mutual admiration between them, this album features Dualtone artists past and present covering fellow Dualtone artists. Includes tracks by The Lumineers, Shakey Graves, Shovels & Rope, Gregory Alan Isakov, Mt. Joy, Hayes Carll, Radney Foster, and more.
July 23 street date. In 2020, 4AD turned 40. Never one to be on time for a party, the label is commemorating that landmark this year with the release of "Bills & Aches & Blues". The compilation features 18 of its current artists covering a song of their choosing from 4AD's past: a creative experiment rooted in the spirit of collaboration and a snapshot of 4AD, 41 years after its inception. "Bills & Aches & Blues" will be released with standard vinyl and CD editions following on 23 July and a deluxe vinyl boxset later this year. The first 12 months' profits from "Bills & Aches & Blues" will be donated to The Harmony Project, a Los Angeles-based after-school programme for children from communities and schools that lack equitable access to studying the arts or music. "Bills & Aches & Blues" is named, arguably (as Elizabeth Fraser never published the lyrics) after the opening line of Cocteau Twins' ‘Cherry-Coloured Funk’.
November 17 street date. Reissue of the 1987 Profile Records holiday compilation in a red and white split coloured vinyl pressing, with songs by Run-DMC, Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, The Showboys, The Surf MCs, Spyder-D, and more. Leading off with the Run-DMC smash "Christmas In Hollis", this classic Christmas compilation features some of the hottest rap artists of the era, celebrating the holidays, hip-hop style. Highlights include Dana Dane's "Dana Dane Is Coming To Town," Sweet Tee's "Let The Jingle Bells Rock", and the Surf MC's' "A Surf MC New Year", adding a California surfer (and, ahem, Beastie Boys rip-off) twist to the proceedings. Not to be overlooked is the classic front and back cover artwork, featuring a gift-wrapped B-Boy. It remains an essential, evergreen (pun intended) holiday album to this day.
