For the Record: The Master List
Keeping tabs on new and pending recordings of interest to the new-music community, on CD, vinyl LP, cassette, and digital-only formats.
Updated June 16, 2025.
For the Record is a weekly column that rounds up details about new and pending recordings of interest to the new-music community – contemporary classical music and jazz, electronic and electroacoustic music, and idioms for which no clever genre name has been coined – on CD, vinyl LP, cassette, digital-only formats… you name it.
This list of release dates is culled from press releases, Amazon, Bandcamp, and other internet stores and sources, social-media posts,  and online resources such as Discogs. Dates cited typically correspond to initial U.S. release, and are subject to change. Links to Amazon – used when all else fails – do not imply endorsement.
To submit a forthcoming recording for consideration, email details to nightafternight@icloud.com at least 10 days before release date.

Ben Monder's track 1973 has the guitar solo of the decade. What a record. Can't wait to listen again and again.
