Next Year's Ghost

ORGM-2294

$25.00

Zachary Cale returns with Next Year’s Ghost, out 5/24 via Org Music. The eight-song album, the follow-up to 2022’s Skywriting, marks Cale’s first turn to piano-based songs and includes contributions from Shahzad Ismaily (Bob Dylan, Marc Ribot), Jeremy Gustin (The Ah, Delicate Steve, Okkervil River), Uriah Theriault (Woodsy Pride), and others. The album is informed by the isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic, possessing a stillness that recalls those lost, lonely days spent in quarantine. It meditates on the strange elasticity of time, but at the edges a tense pulse beats, capturing what it felt like to have to live without urgency in a deeply urgent time.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Live at Bonnaroo '22

ORGM-2300

$39.00

**CD is a preorder, set to ship the week of 7/29**

Live at Bonnaroo '22 captures Melbourne psych-rockers King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard at their most freewheeling and ferocious. Taking the stage at the Tennessee festival to a captive audience as the clock struck midnight, the band ripped through this eleven-song set with intensity, letting up only to space out on certain tracks like the near ten-minute "Magenta Mountain" and a poignant rendition of fan favorite "Work This Time". This official bootlegger version of the release is spread out across two LPs, with one pressed on plutonium and the other on magma color vinyl. The release was mastered for vinyl by Kern Haug and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing, with artwork by Michael Rogers.

Tracklist:
A1 Robot Stop
A2 Hot Water
A3 The Grim Reaper
B1 Mars for the Rich
B2 Hell
B3 Planet B
C1 Gaia
C2 Magenta Mountain
C3 The Garden Goblin
D1 Work This Time
D2 The Dripping Tap

David Grisman & Jerry Garcia

So What

ORGM-2298

$45.00

So What is an acoustic jazz album by Jerry Garcia and mandolinist David Grisman, originally released on Grisman's Acoustic Disc label in August 1998. Garcia and Grisman were friends and collaborators for over three decades, with Grisman’s playing famously featured on the classic Grateful Dead album American Beauty. Joined by sidemen from Grisman's regular band (bassist Jim Kerwin, Joe Craven on percussion, and, on two numbers, flutist Matt Eakle), the co-leaders perform three versions of Miles Davis' "So What," two of apiece of Milt Jackson’s "Bag's Groove” and Davis' "Milestones," and one of Grisman's "16/16.” A rare opportunity to hear Garcia playing straight-ahead jazz music, a genre which he loved but rarely performed. The album received its first vinyl release for its 25th anniversary with a double LP, including two bonus tracks, housed in a gatefold jacket with original artwork from Garcia himself.

Tracklist:
A1 So What (Take 1, 3/8/91)
A2 Bag's Groove (Take 5, 11/24/92)
B1 Milestones (Take 5, 6/2/92)
B2 16/16 (Take 3, 11/24/92)
B3 So What (Take 1, 12/6/90)
C1 Bag's Groove (Take 1, 6/4/92)
C2 Milestones (Take 3, 6/2/92)
D1 So What (Take 1, 6/4/92)
D2 Grateful Dawg (Alternate Take)
D3 Dawg’s Waltz (Alternate Take)

Shirley Horn

Softly

ORGM-1030

$24.00

Never before been pressed to vinyl, Shirley Horn’s Softly is reflective of the album’s late night recording sessions at Peirre Sprey’s home recording studio in rural Maryland, aptly named Mapleshade Studio. The 1988 release is commonly referred to as one of Horn’s most introspective and emotionally intensive records to date. With her sidemen Charles Ables (bass) and Steve Williams (percussion) gathered into a quaint, pastoral living room full of recording equipment, the trio plowed through the tunes, tracking almost until dawn. The album was remastered for vinyl at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed on audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas Group in Germany.

Track List:
A1 Since I Fell For You
A2 You're My Thrill
A3 My, How The Time Goes By
A4 Dindi
B1 Forget Me
B2 I Watch You Sleep
B3 Softly, As I Leave You
B4 Estate (Summer)
