Following last year’s release of Miles ’54: The Prestige Recordings, collecting the legendary trumpeter’s 1954 sessions, Craft Recordings is turning the clock forward to Miles Davis’ 1955 with – what else? – Miles ’55. Miles ’55 bring together sixteen recordings cut by Davis at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey for the Prestige label.
Ashley Kahn (author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece) observes in the new liner notes for this release, “There was a particular sound that had defined the ’50s. It was an approach that balanced a modern, post-bop feel with echoes of a simpler time.

Back in 2005, Seattle quintet Minus the Bear were riding the wave of a swift upward trajectory with their blend of ‘90s mathrock fretboard savvy, early ‘00s electro-indie textural depth, and the wistful melodicism of the more mature strain of Midwest emo. So it was an interesting time for the band to undergo a stylistic sea change. Looking beyond their fellow guitar slingers, Minus the Bear instead found inspiration in the more adventurous pop producers of the era and went full steam ahead with a revamped sound of glitchy guitar loops, modern R&B rhythms, and swirling electronic tapestries on their 2005 sophomore album

Like a late summer harvest, Mac DeMarco yields some of his most mature, sweet and ripe fruit on his most recent album. Written, recorded and mixed entirely by DeMarco, Guitar is a moving personal portrait of an artist navigating the realities of life in his mid-30s: “I think Guitar is as close to a true representation of where I’m at in my life today as I can manage to put to paper,” he remarked in the press notes.
Samira Winter has made nothing but first-class shoegaze spiked with dream pop since she started making records. Everything her project Winter has created has been a shining example of how the age-old genre could evolve and grow stronger given the proper care and feeding. Things like hooky songs, very dynamic arrangements, and lyrics that peek through the wall of sound to lasso the listener’s heart. The cool thing about Winter’s 2025 album Adult Romantix is that she does all those things but then adds more. Tighter arrangements that make more room for tonal shifts and space, vocals that ooze melancholy and sadness, melodies that sound timeless and immediate at once, and best of all, it sounds like she and co-producer Joojoo Ashworth…
Despite how unlikely it may have seemed decades ago, when they were best known for their singer jumping on Korn’s Ice Cube cover and their own Top 40 hit about shoving things, Deftones are now among the most respected and influential bands of the 1990s. When they debuted with Adrenaline in 1995, they weren’t even the best rock band with an awkward rapper in the city of Sacramento; they were, like so many young men of their time, joined on stage and in the studio by a DJ.
