February 9 street date. Known for his range of style and skilled songwriting, KxllSwxtch has become a household name in the underground community, and has become even more well-known in recent years by openly sharing his bouts with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, in hopes of helping others who can relate. An enigmatic and genre-bending artist, blending elements rap, heavy metal, emo and grunge, KxllSwxtch first exploded onto the scene with a number of singles in 2017, followed by his debut album, "Kill!", in 2020. His sophomore album, "Disorder", was released the following year, and included the viral hit song, "Waste", a dark and alternative driven sound inspired by a recent breakup. The track continues to remain a force, generating hundred of thousands of streams daily and remaining in the viral charts at TikTok. In celebration of its 2 year anniversary, "Disorder" is finally getting the vinyl treatment, pressed on black & white smash coloured vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket. This first run anniversary pressing is limited to 500 copies worldwide.
September 27 street date. XTC's most commercially successful album, "Skylarking", is the second of their albums to be mixed in Dolby Atmos by Steven Wilson, following last year's highly acclaimed mix for "The Big Express". For many music fans, this is THE classic XTC album, the one there is always most demand for. "Skylarking" is mythical with tales of "lost" multi-track tapes (sadly true of other XTC albums but not this one), a song originally dropped from the album only to be replaced when it inadvertently became an underground hit single in the USA, a perfect match, on paper, between the ideal Britpop band a decade before the term was invented and an Anglophile super-producer (Todd Rundgen) that turned rather imperfect in personality terms but still resulted in a classic album. Still, a masterpiece remains a masterpiece however traumatic its origins and this is one of those few albums that sounded great at the time and sounds just as great, if not better, now.
