As the industry-wide rollout of Dolby Atmos music proceeds at a breakneck pace, we at IAA continue to build our online catalog of high-resolution immersive digital downloads. In case you missed them, in the article below we highlight ten exciting new Dolby Atmos music titles recently added to our online shop.
Madeleine Peyroux - Let’s Walk
Acclaimed jazz singer, songwriter and interpreter Madeleine Peyroux will release Let’s Walk, her first album in six years, on June 28th. The collection is her most diverse, intimate and bold work to date as she shares thoughtful and revealing views on personal and societal concerns. Peyroux offers hope through understanding and community by using one of our most unifying means, music.
Let’s Walk is Peyroux’s ninth album and the first in which she co-wrote every song with longtime collaborator Jon Herington. The album was mixed in 5.1.4 immersive audio by Elliot Scheiner and mastered by Darcy Proper. The immersive mix–produced by Elliot Scheiner, Jon Herington, and Madeleine Peyroux–is now available in 48-khz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD/Atmos format.

Mark Doyle - Incense and Peppermints
Incense and Peppermints - Out of the Past II, the new instrumental project from musician/producer Mark Doyle, is a love letter to the psychedelic era and the incredible music that transformed Doyle’s life as a young artist in Syracuse–where he continues to thrive. “I was a great hippie,” he remembers today with a chuckle, “and I definitely partook in some of the psychedelic culture.”
Featuring legendary drummer Steve Jordan and mixed in mind-expanding surround sound by studio titan Bob Clearmountain (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Roxy Music, The Who, etc), the album combines curated ’60s gems with original music and gorgeous string arrangements.

Rob Baird - Burning In The Stars
Burning In The Stars, Tennessee-based singer/songwriter Rob Baird’s latest studio album, is undoubtedly his finest offering to date. Baird lays it all on the line with raw, vulnerable reflections on hope and loss, faith and resilience, heartbreak and redemption. The songs are lean and compact, cutting to the quick with surgical precision.
The performances are similarly direct, fueled by earnest, melodic arrangements that call to mind everything from Tom Petty and Bob Seger to James McMurtry and Lucinda Williams. The result is a cinematic mix of alt-country intimacy and rock and roll ecstasy that refuses to shy away from pain in its pursuit of growth. Burning In The Stars was mixed in Dolby Atmos by Chris Bell.

Daughter - Stereo Mind Game
Daughter–the trio comprising Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella–formed in 2010. After releasing two studio albums, If You Leave (2013) and Not to Disappear (2016), plus the video game soundtrack Music From Before the Storm (2017), they chose to take some time off. Stereo Mind Game, the band’s first studio album for seven years, grapples with what it means to be separated, from loved ones and too from yourself.
While Daughter’s previous work found power in emotional honesty, Stereo Mind Game welcomes opposing feelings. “It’s about not working in absolutes,” Haefeli says. After more than a decade spent depicting the darkest emotions, Daughter have made their most optimistic record yet. Stereo Mind Game was mixed in Dolby Atmos by Ben Baptie.

ANOHNI and The Johnsons - My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross
ANOHNI’s music revolves around the strength found in vulnerability, whether it’s the naked trembling of her voice or the way her lyrics cut deeper the simpler they get. My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross—her first album of new material with the Johnsons since 2010’s Swanlights—sets aside the more experimental/electronic quality of 2016’s HOPELESSNESS in favor of the tender avant-soul most listeners came to know her by. She mourns her friends (“Sliver of Ice”), mourns herself (“It’s My Fault”), and catalogs the seemingly limitless cruelty of humankind (“It Must Change”). The album was mixed in Dolby Atmos by Jimmy Hogarth.

Originally released in 2009, Annals of My Glass House compiles all four of Birdsong At Morning’s debut EPs: Bound, Heavens, Vigil, and Lumens. The 25-song collection features original compositions from leader Alan Williams alongside breathtaking acoustic reimaginings of classic songs like Blondie’s “Dreaming,” King Crimson’s “Matte Kudasai,” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Make Me Cry.” To celebrate 15 years since the original release of Annals, Williams has remixed all four EPs in high-resolution Dolby Atmos immersive audio.

Maple Mountain Sunburst - Ecstatic
Maple Mountain Sunburst is the recording project of Elora, Ontario-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Andy McNeill. His first album, The Maple Mountain Sunburst Triolian Orchestra, was released in 2010 and featured guest actor Isabella Rossellini. The follow-up, Ecstatic, was released in May 2024 and offers further explorations in trippy child-like wonder.
Ecstatic features the previously-released singles “Without Fear” and “Pop-a-matic” that engulf listeners into a tidal wave of electronica bliss. These tracks are accompanied by otherworldly music videos that elevate the listening experience into psychedelic dreamscapes. The visual treatments were created by celebrated motion graphic artist Henning M. Lederer (“Without Fear”) and Tel-Aviv-based illustrator Ori Toor (“Pop-a-matic”). Ecstatic was mixed and mastered for Dolby Atmos by Ron Searles at Red Maple Sound.

Los Angeles-based musician, producer, and visual artist Mal Not Bad debuted in 2021 with their EP In Free Fall, followed by their 2022 EP, Continuous Short Feature Film, both released under the name Mal. The alternative/indie songwriter is a low-key but influential voice in American music, having worked with the likes of Clash favorite Mk.gee, NoSo, illuminati hotties and Skullcrusher. Often in the background, Mal Not Bad takes the spotlight with their newest release entitled This Is Your New Life. The album was mixed in Dolby Atmos by Mal Hauser.

Bebo Valdés - Suite Cubana (Immersive Edition)
Pianist, composer, arranger and director Bebo Valdés is considered to be one of the main figures of the golden age of Cuban music. During the 1940s, he played with several orchestras in La Habana and recorded albums of Afro-Cuban jazz in those years. Valdés relocated to Stockholm, Sweden in the early 1960s, choosing to perform only in anonymity for the next three decades. The rediscovery of his work in the 1990s was a major event in the Jazz world. Utilizing an all-star group, Valdés (who was 86 at the time) debuts his eight-part magnum opus Suite Cubana. The immersive edition contains new 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos mixes from Jim Anderson.

Ibeyi - Spell 31 (Atmos MKV & MP4)
Ibeyi are French Afro-Cuban twin sisters Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz. Performing from a young age, the daughters of famed Cuban percussionist Ánga Diaz, have released two critically acclaimed albums, a self-titled debut in 2015 and Ash in 2017. Ibeyi’s Spell 31 is their boldest offering yet, an antidote to apathy in a divided world. Ethereal, crystalized signature Ibeyi harmonies are fused with gospel, persuasive percussion, momentous deeply resonant bass, and electronic neo soul expressions, transporting us into a sublime rawness that is refined by Richard Russell’s precise hand and synthesized into astonishing clarity. Spell 31 was mixed in Dolby Atmos by Ricky Damian.
