Angel Olsen/Phases
Olive Green vinyl LP pressing. Phases is a collection of Olsen’s work culled from the past several years, including a number of never-before-released tracks. “Fly On Your Wall,” previously contributed to the Bandcamp-only, anti-Trump fundraiser Our First 100 Days, opens Phases, before seamlessly slipping into “Special,” a brand new song from the My Woman recording sessions. Both “How Many Disasters” and “Sans” are first-time listens: home-recorded demos that have never been released, leaning heavily on Olsen’s arresting croon and lonesome guitar.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats/Live At Red Rocks
Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 live release. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats have played Red Rocks once or twice a year since 2015. But what if you want to listen to Denver’s favorite rock-and-soul band play the venue every other day of the year? Well, you’re in luck! Live at Red Rocks is their first-ever live album. The 18-song live album was recorded at the band’s Aug. 21, 2016, show, a year after the band’s debut album was released. The band was joined for six tracks by New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band, which is no stranger to guest spots at Red Rocks.
Langhorne Slim/Lost At Last Vol.1
Limited 180gm colored vinyl LP pressing. Lost At Last Vol. 1, is a record that he wanted to do differently from the start. The songs challenge the idea of social rigidity: the attitude that there’s a “correct” way for us to live and a side we should be on. He urges the world to see through the idea that by following that path and focusing only on fitting the mold, one will have lived a good life. He re-interprets the sound of the free-spirited yet vulnerable everyman heard on 2015’s The Spirit Moves and brings forth anew the call for us to abandon “the fold” and re-connect with ourselves and each other.
Elton John/Diamonds

Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn/Echo In The Valley
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release from the king and queen of the banjo. Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. From writing concertos for full symphony orchestra, exploring the banjo’s African roots, to jazz duos with Chick Corea, many tout that Béla Fleck is the world’s premier banjo player. Washburn has the earthy sophistication of a postmodern, old-time singer-songwriter who has drawn critical acclaim for her solo albums. She has done fascinating work in folk musical diplomacy in China, presented an original theatrical production, and has contributed to singular side groups Uncle Earl and The Wu-Force. With one eye on using the banjo to showcase America’s rich heritage and the other pulling the noble instrument from it’s most familiar arena into new and unique realms, Bela & Abigail meet in the mean, head-on, to present music that feels wildly innovative and familiar at the same time. Whether at home, on stage or on record, their deep bond, combined with the way their distinct musical personalities and banjo styles interact, makes theirs a picking partnership unlike any other on the planet.
Billie Eilish/don’t smile at me
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 debut EP from Billie Eilish, the girl W Magazine calls “Pop’s Terrifying 15-Year-Old Prodigy”.

Jerry Goldsmith/Alien OST
Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Mondo is proud to present Jerry Goldsmith’s score to Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece, Alien. An absolute essential soundtrack for not only fans of the franchise, but of the legendary composer, and of science fiction and horror cinema itself. There is no doubt Alien is a monumental achievement in movie making, it’s tense, terrifying and pretty damn untouchable. The score by Jerry Goldsmith is an absolute masterclass in building tension and scaring the hell out of you within the film but it also is a beautifully orchestrated stand-alone listen full of excitement that harks back to many of the rollicking adventure scores of the 40s and 50s.
Limited vinyl LP pressing. Ten is the debut studio album by Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991 through Epic Records.

Most of the songs began as instrumental jams, to which Vedder added lyrics about topics such as depression, homelessness, and abuse. Ten was not an immediate success, but by late 1992 it had reached #2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album produced three hit singles: “Alive”, “Even Flow”, and “Jeremy.”
