The Arcs—Dan Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon—along with special guests Mariachi Flor de Toloache, have announced a North American tour for April. Their "West Coast Caravan" kicks off in Vancouver on April 11, followed by several stops on that coast—Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Pomona, and the Coachella festival—as well as shows in Denver, Lawrence, St. Louis, Austin, and New Orleans. See below for all of the currently scheduled shows, or visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

During their East Coast tour late last year, The Arcs stopped by the NPR studios in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert for Bob Boilen and the staff at NPR and NPR Music. They performed three songs from their debut album, Yours, Dreamily, released last year on Nonesuch: "Pistol Made of Bones," "Stay in My Corner," and "Outta My Mind." The band is "a bundle of talent," says Boilen. You can see for yourself in the set below.

It was a very special Tiny Desk, the series' 500th episode, with past guests including Sam Amidon and Bill Frisell, Lianne La Havas, Natalie Merchant, Nickel Creek, Conor Oberst, Punch Brothers, and Chris Thile and Michael Daves, among others. For more, visit npr.org/tinydeskconcerts.

    Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire’s honey from a winter stone is out January 17, 2025, on Nonesuch Records. The album, which Ambrose calls a “self-portrait,” features improvisational vocalist Kokayi, pianist Sam Harris, Chiquitamagic on synthesizer, drummer Justin Brown, and the Mivos Quartet. Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.

The box set comprises either nine vinyl LPs and four CDs or nine CDs—including the original album, alternates, outtakes, and demos, charting the making of A Ghost Is Born—plus the complete 2004 concert recording from Boston’s Wang Center and the band’s “fundamentals” workshop sessions. It includes sixty-five previously unreleased music tracks as well as a forty-eight-page hardcover book with previously unpublished photos and a new liner note by Grammy-winning writer Bob Mehr. An alternate version of “Handshake Drugs,” recorded during the studio sessions at New York’s Sear Sound, twenty-one years ago this month, is out now. There will also be a new vinyl pressing of the original album in a two-disc package, and a two-CD expanded version of the original album with bonus track highlights from the full deluxe edition repertoire. The two-CD version will also be available on streaming services worldwide.
