Everything good starts unknown, and most of it starts with a date. Incoming is our release radar for October 2026 to January 2027: the records, gear, shoes, objects, films and books worth marking now, before they arrive and before everyone else is talking about them.
Every entry has a date or month confirmed by the label, maker, studio or publisher, or by a trade outlet that reported it, plus one line on why it earned a place. Release dates move. When they do, we move them here, so this page is updated as dates firm up. For things worth owning today, start with our Buying Guides.
