Hello all! In celebration of Earth Day, this week we're excited to present two out of this world titles: an under-heard gem from last year, Jeff Russo's terrific score to the 2019 film LUCY IN THE SKY, and a re-press of Justin Hurwitz's award-winning score to 2018's FIRST MAN.

To round out our Earth Day offerings, we have an enamel pin for the universe's most famous swamp-infused scientist – MAN-THING. The talented artist Dan Hipp has depicted the kinder side of this empathic humanoid, crawling out of the Florida everglades with a lovely bouquet.

In keeping with our yearly tradition, Mondo will donate a portion of Wednesday's proceeds to the Austin Parks Foundation. We all miss our beautiful outdoor spaces while we stay safely at home, and hope to contribute to their maintenance in this time of need so we can someday graze the wildflowers with Man-Thing again.

As always, all new releases and restocks go on sale on Wednesdays at NOON (CT).

LUCY IN THE SKY - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK 2XLP. Music by Jeff Russo. Artwork by Jasmin Darnell. Pressed on 2x 180 Gram Star Field Vinyl (limited to 300 copies worldwide). Also available on 2x 180 Gram Black vinyl. Expected to Ship in May 2020. Ships Worldwide. $35

Mondo Music, in partnership with Lakeshore Music, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of Jeff Russo's score to the 2019 film LUCY IN THE SKY. LUCY is a sad but beautiful fable about failure, double standards, and achievement. But the music for the film is never bleak because the film itself is always hopeful and curious. Anchored by swelling synths and echoing choruses the score is tranquil and sublime. An underrated and underheard collection of film music we are super proud to share.

Featuring a brand new, beautiful illustration by Jasmin Darnell, and pressed on 2x 180 gram Star Field vinyl - which was produced with all new process that allows you to press glitter vinyl without any risk of damage to your needle - and is strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide. Also available on 2x 180 gram Black vinyl. Check out the unboxing video of LUCY IN THE SKY below.

Mondo Music and Playtone have been hard at work to produce the premiere vinyl edition of the soundtrack to THAT THING YOU DO! for several months.

SPENCER'S PICK OF THE WEEK - POZI - 176 (PRAH Recordings)
Oh man, this is so awesome, kind of post-punk with great melodies and killer driving beats while violins add a kind of (great) depressing vibe with male and female dueling vocals. Absolutely fantastic. Get it here


MO'S PICK OF THE WEEK - Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters (Epic)
New Fiona Apple. A cause for celebration. Only her fifth album in 25 years (and her first in nearly eight since the masterpiece "The Idler Wheel..."), and it's as essential as the rest, if not more so. Honestly one of the best albums of the year so far, and likely to remain there at the end of the year. Get it here
