Goodbye Brat Summer, hello Billy Fall! 🍂🪕 As the aspen groves light up with autumnal splendor, we’re bringing you the sounds of the season with our latest roundup of the bestselling new vinyl releases at Paradise Found Records and Music (1646 Pearl St.) From Boulder’s favorite bluegrass phenom Billy Strings — fresh off last weekend’s Renewal 2024 festival in Buena Vista — to the latest from breakout folk-rock charmer MJ Lenderman, here’s what ruled local turntables in September. 

STAFF PICK
It only took three years of waiting for Remi Wolf to drop her sophomore album, Big Ideas, and I was not disappointed. This is a jam-in-your-car, scream-in-your-room, stare-at-the-wall-and-contemplate-all-your-mistakes vibe all rolled into one unskippable record. It’s got the funky psych-pop beats with stunning vocals that we’ve come to expect from Remi, with a smattering of emo grunge that makes me feel like you’re “Alone in Miami.” This LP is on repeat whenever I need to feel literally anything at all. -Tyler Hickman, reporter
