May 2 street date. From Shakespeare to Mozart to classical opera, Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo pulled from the classics when devising the lyrics and story arc of "The Scholars", while the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who's "Tommy" and David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". "One thing that can be a struggle with rock operas is that the individual songs kind of get sacrificed for the flow of the plot", Toledo notes. "I didn't want to sacrifice that to make a very fluid narrative". While "The Scholars" has some of the most expansive Car Seat Headrest songs to date, including the nearly 19-minute long "Planet Desperation" and opener "CCF (I'm Gonna Stay With You)", they know how to make each part of the journey compelling, filling the run times with unexpected turns and enervating hooks. It is a journey that listeners will want to embark on again and again as they absorb and discover the rich depths and clanging resonances. Vinyl edition includes a 28-page booklet featuring art/lyrics.

Clear Vinyl. "Acoustic Sessions" is a new Thin Lizzy album featuring stripped-back versions of Thin Lizzy classics and with previously unheard vocals provided by old recordings of late Phil Lynott. Not all material on the album is sourced from archived Thin Lizzy recordings though. Founding member Eric Bell has prepared fresh acoustic guitar arrangements for the new album, marking the first time since 1973 that Bell has played on a Thin Lizzy album. "Acoustic Sessions" revisits tracks from Thin Lizzy's first three albums, including a stripped-back version of the signature song 'Whiskey In The Jar' and an acoustic version of the early fan favourite 'Eire' from their debut album.
