New Albums

Pearl Jam connected with producer Andrew Watt last year at the legendary Shangri-La Studios in Miami. Facing each other in one room with their instruments, they were struck with a burst of inspiration and the album “Dark Matter” was created in just three weeks.

High on Fire has returned with “Cometh the Storm,” marking their first studio album since 2018’s “Electric Messiah.” Riff masters Matt Pike and Jeff Matz are joined by Coady Willis.

Ghost-Note has released their third album, “Mustard n’Onions,” which – as you can imagine from the title – is a funky affair. That's thanks in part to bassists MonoNeon and Marcus Miller.

Opeth bassist Martin Méndez has announced the third album from his band White Stones. “Memoria Viva” follows in the footsteps of the first two albums, but it takes a different approach by being sung all in Spanish.

As Journey’s original bassist, Ross Valory has just about done it all. He’s played on chart-topping hits, toured the world, and sold millions of albums. Now, the bassist has released his solo debut album, entitled “All of the Above.”

Khruangbin has been through a lot since their debut album in 2015. As they rose in popularity, their sound began to morph. On their new album, “A La Sala,” they’re going back to their roots.

Tony Kanal is gearing up for No Doubt’s return to the stage at Coachella, but that’s not all he has going on. His band Dreamcar has just released a new album called “Dream EP.”

Blu DeTiger grew her audience on TikTok with killer covers and then her own original songs. Though the platform is based on brevity, DeTiger has been getting deeper into long form releases. Now, she’s dropped her debut full-length studio album, “All I Ever Want Is Everything.”

Scott LaFaro was only 25 when he tragically died in a car accident in 1961, but the body of work he left changed jazz bass playing for good. He influenced the majority of today’s best bassists. That includes Brian Bromberg, who has just released a trio album in his honor.

Derek Frank has been around the world playing music with Air Supply, Gwen Stefani, and Shania Twain. Now, he’s released “Origin Story,” an instrumental album that mixes in funk, jazz, blues, and seventies soundtrack music.

Nearly a decade ago, one of the most epic bass duos of all time came into existence. Now, Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer have released a monumental album humorously titled “But Who’s Gonna Play The Melody?”

Duff McKagan has added onto his intimate third solo album with “Lighthouse (Expanded Edition).” The new collection is available now digitally and features eight new tracks plus three live performance videos captured last December at Easy Street Records.
