Critic’s Picks for Record Store Day 2025: 16 Releases Worth Digging For
Record Store Day 2025 is upon us. Here are the best releases to look for.
With a limited run of 1,000 copies, Geek ’s long-overdue debut on vinyl comes paired with its sister EP, Inconsiderate Bitch, along with the rare b-side “The Mirror Is Gone.” The art was created by Vaughn Oliver associate Chris Bigg from Dominic Davies’ original cover shoot. And while you might want to skip the track that will remind you of the horse Artax drowning in a mud pit (“Swamps of Sadness”), you will no doubt revel in the nostalgic swirl of synths and strings composed by legendary disco producer Giorgio Moroder and Klaus Doldlinger of the German jazz group Passport that propels The NeverEnding Story to its whimsical pop heights. It was 19 years ago at the world famous Apollo Theater in the heart of New York’s Harlem that Gorillaz came alive in a two-night residency that featured Muppets, madness and multiple guest artists such as Neneh Cherry and De La Soul reprising their roles on the cartoon band’s 2005 studio masterpiece Demon Days on classic tracks including “Kids With Guns” and “Feel Good, Inc.,” among others.
