Robert Plant's new album, lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar, is due September 9 on Nonesuch/Warner Bros. Records. In a new video preview, which premiered yesterday at Amazon Music, Plant leads viewers through the personal journey that led to the new album, from the Welsh border towns, where the video was shot, through the American South, and back home to the UK.

"I spent a lot of time traveling through the South; I was searching to see if I could find out the character of the area from the radio that was on in the car," says Plant in the video. "So I wrote the lyrics against an amazing link to those days, back in the 1930s and ’40s, when the South was the center of the black revolution in music ... To come back to the Welsh borders, to the hills and the valleys and friends and confidants, is something I didn't even imagine when I was out there in Mississippi and Texas. These songs are an ode to life and love, and the fragile adventure you set out upon unknowingly and unwittingly."

Hear more of what Plant and his band mates in the Sensational Space Shifters have to say about the album and hear clips from the new album in the video below. To pre-order lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, head to Amazon or to robertplant.com, where pre-orders include a limited-edition print and an instant download of an album track.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
