Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.

Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of April below.

The Cure — The Head On The Door (Reissue)

Rhino went big for Record Store Day this year, pumping out 47 different limited-edition releases for the special weekend. Among them was The Cure’s classic The Head On The Door, for a picture disc reissue that’s limited to 8,850 copies worldwide.

The Doors — Strange Days 1967: A Work In Progress

Also part of Rhino’s RSD slate is a big one for The Doors fans: After 58 years, rough mixes from early Strange Days recording sessions have been unearthed, so here they are on translucent blue vinyl.

Nickel Boys — Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Nickel Boys was one of 2024’s best movies, and the score from Alex Somers and Scott Alario was a significant contributing factor. It recently got a great vinyl release pressed on “metallic gold” vinyl with a full color insert.

Bon Iver — SABLE, fABLE

Justin Vernon wasn’t successful in his Inside Llewyn Davis audition, but he’s done just fine with Bon Iver. He just released a new album, which Uproxx’s Steven Hyden thinks is “one of their best.”

Panchiko — Ginkgo

The Panchiko story is a wild one: A group of UK dads had a band in the ’90s. It was fun, but it didn’t end up going much of anywhere and they moved on with their lives. Decades later, one of their demos was discovered in a thrift store, and it got enough attention online to prompt the band to reunite for a new album that’s out now.

Julien Baker & Torres — Send A Prayer My Way

Years ago, Julien Baker and Torres kicked around the idea of making a country album together. Finally, they made it, and the project sees them using traditional country storytelling in compelling new ways.

Djo — The Crux

It’s all coming together for Joe Keery: Acting is going great and music is going even better on his new Djo album, The Crux. Given the classic influences found across the album, it only makes sense that it’d be available on vinyl.

d4vd — Withered

d4vd didn’t quite land that backflip, but he did stick the landing on his new album Withered. He has a particularly neat vinyl edition of it, too, featuring an alternative anime-style cover.

Yusuf/Cat Stevens — Saturnight: Live From Tokyo (Reissue)

In the ’70s, if you didn’t live in Japan, you probably didn’t hear the live album, which was only released in the island nation. Now, though, it has been remastered for a new release, which comes with a 16-page booklet that includes thoughts on the performance from people who were there for it.
