Life of Leisure by Washed Out: Washed Out is reissuing Life of Leisure in Pink colored vinyl, repressed after 15 years on vinyl. Washed Out is the musical moniker for singer, songwriter, and producer Ernest Greene. He is most renowned for his twisted synth-pop masterpieces that are equal parts psychedelic and anthemic dance smash. In 2009, he released his first 12-inch, Life of Leisure. His song "Feel It All Around" was notable for serving as the opening theme music for Portlandia. He's released three full-length albums, the most recent being Mister Mellow in 2017. Website Link- 'ambientinks'

5. Eight Pointed Star by Marina Allen: Marina Allen's third album of bold, vivid songs. Beautifully arranged, incredibly melodic, and conveyed with a unique poetic viewpoint. Using shards and stories from Marina's past, Eight-Pointed Star masterfully stitches together a new future, creating what seems like a sparkling, clear-eyed modern classic of alternative folk and Americana. This compilation of tunes is ineffable and ageless, and it piques your interest just as much as it does theirs. The album's universe is more introspective and open-ended. It encourages a form of soul-searching that avoids difficulties and is receptive to answers. Release on June 7th on peach colored vinyl. Website Link- 'roughtrade'
