From a new Paramore album to The Strokes’ new box set. Here are the most anticipated vinyl record releases of 2023.
Vinyl sales are on the rise. The first half of 2022 saw sales in the US increase by 22 per cent and the global market is expected to grow by $663.77 million between 2023 and 2027. With many exciting and highly anticipated vinyl records being released in 2023, it’s not difficult to see why.
Paramore are set to release their first new music since 2017. This is Why, the band’s sixth album, will be released on February 10. Singer Hayley Williams described the album as summarising “the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years”.
On February 24, The Strokes will release a vinyl box set titled The Singles Volume 1. Alongside singles from their first three albums, Is This It, Room on Fire and First Impressions of Earth, the box set will feature home recordings, demos and live performances.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album Nimrod, Green Day are releasing an anniversary box set on January 27. The set will include demos and a live album, as well as a 20-page book, poster, slip mat, cloth patch and commemorative backstage pass.
Other anniversary reissues coming in 2023 include The xx’s Coexist, Tycho’s Dive, The Cinematic Orchestra’s One Day and Charli XCX’s Pop 2.
