In honour of our twenty-year milestone, we are this months Rough Trade Label Focus and are celebrating with several new exclusive pressings, new represses and limited vinyl markdowns…

New Exclusives

Julia Jacklin – Crushing

The second full-length album from Julia Jacklin, Crushing embodies every possible meaning of its title word. It’s an album formed from sheer intensity of feeling, an in-the-moment narrative of heartbreak and infatuation. On Rough Trade Exclusive orange vinyl.

Songhoy Blues – Music In Exile

After fleeing North Malia in the wake of radical Islamists overthrowing their region, this male four-piece came to the attention of Marc-Antoine Moreau (Amadou & Mariam’s manager), who was looking for musicians who could record with the Africa Express team. After signing a deal with Transgressive Records whilst in the UK in 2013, the band were supported in crafting their masterful debut, Songhoy Blues, produced by Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), featuring the vocals of Damon Albarn. Electric desert blues, acoustic ballads and reworkings of songs from the Songhoy tradition. On Rough Trade Exclusive magenta vinyl.

The Moonlandingz – Interplanetary Class Classics

A band born from a semi-fictional concept album by Sheffield electronic analogue weirdos the Eccentronic Research Council and fronted by Fat White Family’s legendary frontman, Lias Saoudi. A feast of swirling juddering synths, wailing guitars, motorik stomp and extraordinary songwriting.

Let’s Eat Grandma – I’m All Ears

The second act from the British teenage vocalists, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters. Startling, infectious, innovative and thrilling, alive with furious pop, unapologetic grandeur, intimate ballads; with loops, Logic, outrageous 80s drum solos, as well as production from David Wrench (The xx / Frank Ocean / Caribou), SOPHIE and Faris Badwan (The Horrors). On neon pink and black marble vinyl.
