Completed over three weeks at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Who's Feeling Young Now?, the follow-up to 2010's Grammy-nominated Antifogmatic, was produced by Grammy Award winner Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse) and features ten songs written by Punch Brothers, with the band’s friend Josh Ritter co-writing lyrics on two tunes, plus the group’s take on Radiohead’s “Kid A” and the Swedish group Väsen’s “Flippen.” The LP comes on two discs of 140-gram, audiophile-quality vinyl and includes four additional Punch Brothers–penned tunes. Pre-orders include an instant download of the album track "Movement and Location" and an exclusive set of five custom Punch Brothers paper coasters illustrated by New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee, signed by the band.

In 2004, Caetano Veloso curated a week of special concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall and invited his longtime friend and collaborator David Byrne to join him for the show captured here. Each performs an acoustic set of his own songs and also perform together. "Side by side," said the New York Times, "they were both songwriters with surreal imaginations, a fondness for the exotic and the syncretic, a sense of humor and a way of placing grand ambitions in colloquial terms."

On Leaving Eden, the Carolina Chocolate Drops follow their Grammy-winning album Genuine Negro Jig with a record of original compositions, covers, and traditional songs produced by Buddy Miller (Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Patty Griffin, Solomon Burke). Pre-orders include an instant download of the track “Country Girl," which NPR named a Song of the Day.

This digital EP includes "Dougou Badia," the first song off Amadou & Mariam's forthcoming album, Folila. Santigold, who co-wrote the song with Mariam, joins her on vocals. Also included are an alternate mix of the song by Danger Mouse cohort Kennie Takahashi; the album track “Oh Amadou” (with Bertrand Cantat); and a live version of “Wily Kataso” from Eclipse, a show staged in complete darkness at the 2011 Manchester International Festival.

This album includes three works written for Kronos Quartet by the contemporary Russian composer Vladimir Martynov—whose music, says Kronos artistic director and founder David Harrington, seems “to reflect and absorb humanity in such a beautiful way”—and features a special guest performance from former Kronos cellist Joan Jeanrenaud on a piece the Times of London describes as "something to treasure."

This box set includes the five original Art of the Trio records by the Brad Mehldau Trio, featuring Jorge Rossy and Larry Grenadier, plus a disc of unreleased material from shows at the Village Vanguard. Repertoire includes interpretations of standard tunes and modern classics as well as original compositions. "The trio created a private world for their listeners to get lost in," says the Guardian, "and this is the definitive representation of it." This set, says All About Jazz, confirms Mehldau "as one of the most important pianists of any generation."

Pat Metheny's 1999 duo collaboration with Jim Hall, whom Metheny called the "father of modern guitar playing," features 17 tracks reissued for the first time on Nonesuch—original tunes from each guitarist, several improvisations captured in the studio, plus six tunes recorded live in concert, including Gershwin's "Summertime." "The excellence of the playing is the heart of the matter," says the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's a privilege to listen in." The Los Angeles Times calls it "extraordinary."

Biophilia is an interdisciplinary exploration of the universe and its physical forces—particularly those where music, nature, and technology meet—inspired by these relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. The BBC raves: "An amazing, inventive and wholly unique eighth album from an artist without peer." NPR calls it "astounding." The LP includes the album on two discs of 180-gram, high-performance vinyl.

The Biophilia Manual presents the music of Biophilia in a 48-page, full-color, hardbound, cloth-covered, and thread-sewn book, tipped on lenticular panel to the front cover, with foil-blocked spine and back cover; the music, on CD—including a second disc of live performances from Manchester—is housed in black uncoated board wallets. It is being made to order and fabricated only once. The Biophilia Manual is no longer available to order.
