The miracle year

Out today: Hüsker Dü's 1985: The Miracle Year captures the Minneapolis trio at full throttle, tearing through their Zen Arcade and New Day Rising-era sets at First Avenue. This 4LP deluxe boxset restores the complete January 30th show plus 20 more live cuts from the same year, with a detailed booklet chronicling a pivotal moment in punk history. Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity is a dazzling, genre-bending rush of avant-pop energy - part rock opera, part joyous experiment. Ata Kak follows up his cult 1994 tape Obaa Sima with his first new album in 30 years: a heady blend of Twi-language rap, vibrant percussion, and Ghanaian tradition, out on limited lilypad green marble vinyl. The Clientele's The Violet Hour, the London trio’s lush 2003 debut proper, gets a loving Dinked Edition reissue: opaque lily pad green swirl vinyl, signed photo postcard, and Dinked Archive obi strip. Still one of indie pop’s most beautifully melancholic records. Sorry's Cosplay is the band’s boldest reinvention yet - disorienting, theatrical, and razor-sharp - out as a Dinked Edition on white vinyl with signed poster and sticker sheet. Stella Donnelly's Love and Fortune is her most personal and grounded work yet, tracing loss, renewal, and self-rediscovery with stripped-back warmth, available as a Dinked Edition on transparent green vinyl with seed sticks and poster. Finally, Steve Gunn's Daylight Daylight finds the acclaimed guitarist exploring quieter, more reflective terrain, produced by James Elkington and featuring contributions from Nick Macri, Macie Stewart, and more - a patient, radiant set from one of America’s finest modern songwriters.
