After conquering the world with their 28th studio album MAD!, the eternally-creative Ron and Russell Mael are releasing the first EP of their illustrious career. "Not wanting the Mad!ness to end and buoyed by the phenomenal reaction to MAD!, we made a hasty but intense retreat to the studio to record a Sparks first: an EP," say the band "MADDER!, a four-song companion piece to the album, is for everyone who isn't yet MAD! enough. We hope these new songs will take you to an even MADDER! place."

Antlers: Blight [Vinyl LP]

R is for Rocket, the quartet's remarkable debut album, is a joyride through sonic terrain that is gloriously loud, anthemic, bombastic, and beautiful, with instantly captivating songs that achieve the rare feat of evoking nostalgia while sounding completely new. The band's jagged, fuzzed-out sound has antecedents in '90s guitar bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, but Rocket is doing something uniquely their own with those touchstones. It's no wonder they are widely considered one of the most promising guitar-forward bands of their generation.
