This Is Lorelei, Holo Boy

Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos digs into his back catalog of nearly 70 releases shared over the last 12 years, revealing his humble beginnings and the seeds of last year’s breakout LP.

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here 50

This box set repackages the languid yet damaged follow-up to the band’s breakout success, with its true star being the massive-sounding bootleg of a 1975 live show at LA’s Sports Arena.

Blur, The Great Escape [30th Anniversary Edition]

Packed with era-appropriate B-sides, this release celebrates the Britpop quartet in their last gasp of opulent orchestration as they moved into lonely disillusionment and reserved distance.
