Over the years Rhino Records has earned a reputation as the home for fantastic vault releases, reissues, box sets and compilations. While we’ve been overjoyed with the high quality Grateful Dead and Phish releases the label has bestowed upon us, their next high profile release for obsessive music nerds comes this fall when they drop the latest installment in the Nuggets line with Where The Action Is! Los Angeles Nuggets 1965-1968. The four disc, 101 song box set features tons of music from the LA psychedelic rock scene.

Finally, on September 22 we will see the release of the debut album of Volcano Choir – the new experimental side-project from Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon. The nine-track record, whose songs pre-date Vernon’s current band, are said to have “influences ranging from David Sylvian and Steve Reich to Mahalia Jackson and Tom Waits”. Sounds good to us.
