<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/bodega-endless-scroll">Rough Trade Exclusive Clear Vinyl with Download and Bonus CD</a>.

Bodega is the Brooklyn-based band of guitarist Ben Hozie, synth player Nikki Belfiglio, stand-up drummer Montana Simone, lead guitarist Madison Velding-VanDam (of The Wants) and bassist Heather Elle (of Please No Radio).

Pair traditional post-punk sounds (think Parquet Courts, Ought, The Fall) with modern electronica and snappy narrative lyricism, and you've got Bodega's buzz-worthy debut album. Endless Scroll, recorded and produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, debuts sharp-wit-lyrics, bouncing bass lines, and scrambling guitars. It's itchy, scratchy perfect pop that makes you want to sing along... even without knowing the words. The LP's fourteen songs offer a high-energy, humorous but earnest thirty-four minutes of listening pleasure.

Available here on Rough Trade Exclusive Clear Colored Vinyl, Indie Exclusive Teal Colored Vinyl, Standard Black Vinyl and CD. All formats come with a Bonus CD of 30+ minutes of live material.

Groundbreaking artist Kamasi Washington’s highly anticipated second album Heaven and Earth via Young Turks. Available here on Four LP Box Set Housed in Bespoke Double Gatefold Sleeve and Deluxe Double CD.

The long-awaited follow up to Washington’s debut The Epic, Heaven and Earth is comprised of two halves, which find Washington confronting quotidian realities with cosmic themes. A further investigation of Washington’s world building ideas, the new album explores his reckoning with current global chaos and his vision for the future. Washington convened his band, The Next Step, as well as members of the long running collective The West Coast Get Down at Henson Studios in Los Angeles to record the 16 tracks on Heaven and Earth. The music was composed, written and arranged by Washington, with new arrangements of jazz and bebop legend Freddie Hubbard’s Hubtones and iconic kung fu film theme Fists of Fury, as well as one song by bandmate Ryan Porter. Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Ronald Bruner, Jr., Cameron Graves, Brandon Coleman, Miles Mosley, Patrice Quinn, Tony Austin and many more contribute to the album. Heaven and Earth is over two and a half hours of music.

“The world that my mind lives in, lives in my mind.” This idea inspired me to make this album Heaven and Earth. The reality we experience is a mere creation of our consciousness, but our consciousness creates this reality based on those very same experiences. We are simultaneously the creators of our personal universe and creations of our personal universe. The Earth side of this album represents the world as I see it outwardly, the world that I am a part of. The Heaven side of this album represents the world as I see it inwardly, the world that is a part of me. Who I am and the choices I make lie somewhere in between.” - Kamasi Washington
