Pyramiden
"zakè, James Bernard and Markus Guentner build a cascading and overwhelmingly beautiful record that combines the zen of the best ambient/new age music along with the “Big Sky” openness of post-rock bands like Explosions in The Sky and This Will Destroy You. You get songs with chilly names like “Polar Night”, “Seafrost”, and “Arctic Choir” – and there is a sort of vast arctic blue hue to these songs – but it lacks even a hint of desolation. I can imagine listening to something like “Assembly of L…

Deforms The Unborn
** 2021 release (VERY RARE!) ** Limited edition of 66 copies. "Portraying the sensation of being possessed by a demon, Zepar to be exact, Deforms the Unborn was a live-performance by Xiu Xiu at the Guggenheim museum. After researching multiple first hand accounts of demonic possession, the material that came out of all of that is basically an auditory version of a Lovecraft story. You are never quite sure what is real and what isn't, there is this constant abrasive feeling of paranoia and dread…
Traveling Light
From out of the dark, the crackle of feed back birdsong signals a return to the land of sound environments exclusive to the music of Rafael Toral. A year and a half after his epochal electric guitar album, Spectral Evolution, Traveling Light finds him sharpening his focus, moving boldly from abstract forms to concrete compositions in the form of a set of jazz standards. Based on Toral’s discography, this may seem an unlikely endeavor, but happily, Traveling Light transpires to be one of the majo…
Shadow Of A Rose
2010 release ** Recorded in 1985 "Shadow of a Rose" is fourth full-length album of Duch new wave act Mekanik Kommando. With this album they decided to leave electronic post-punk and start to play more psychedelic and folk oriented music. "Shadow of a Rose" is extraordinary hybrid of sounds of accoustic instruments and raw analog electronics. Original and unprecedented combination. At the time of its initial release, Mekanik Kommando's fanbase was unsure about how to respond to their fourth full-…

Born from Zen riddles and cosmic wonder, Angela Winter transforms existential dread into spacious, contemplative soundscapes. It asks: How do we meet the world as it is? The result is meditative and stirring, an invitation to let go of certainty and awaken to beauty in the unknown.
"Forbidden Questions in Space emerged in 2021 when I was mixing my album lig…
Undercurrents
Huge Tip! Drag City and Yoga Records are delighted to return to the music of Matthew Young. Following Recurring Dreams (1981, reissued 2014) and Traveler's Advisory (1986, reissued 2010), Undercurrents (2025) collects eight oddly dissimilar pieces that somehow fit together perfectly. Although unique enough to be called outsider, Young’s new album occupies a musical world accessible to fans of many genres. Composed and recorded over the span of several decades, Undercurrents displays the wide ran…
Disconnect
Twin heavyweights Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) unite for Disconnect, a powerful study of dread, hope, and profound sonics that marries depth-trawling dub with Kamaru’s voice, ambient sensibilities, and negative space. Kevin Martin first became aware of Kenyan ambient musician KMRU “watching the short 2020 documentary Under The Bridge,” he tells us. “Which, aside from immediately finding Joseph's approach to sound and music so instantly impressive, I also found his spok…
Alex Express
Hailing from Cape Town, tenor saxophonist Winston Mankunku Ngozi (1943-2009) is a venerated figure in the pantheon of South African jazz. Inspired by Coltrane while rooted in indigenous folklore, he released the classic album Yakhal’ Inkomo at the outset of his career with the Mankunku Quartet in 1969. Backed by the Cliffs, Alex Express documents Mankunku’s return to the studio in 1975 with a handful of new and original compositions and his inimitable tone on full display. Shaking off the burden…
The Peacemaker
Hailing from Alexandra and nicknamed "Ratau" (meaning "lion"), saxophonist Mike Makhalemele (1938-2000) was a force of nature with a robust yet soulful tone and seemingly endless breath. He embraced the pop music scene as an enthusiastic collaborator and staked his territory at the intersection of township grooves with modern currents in soul, funk and disco. As a solo artist, he delivered a formidable run of albums in the 1970s that that made him the most prolific recording artist in South Afri…
The Bull And The Lion
Bringing together Johannesburg’s two saxophone titans for a supergroup recording project was a visionary move by Jo’Burg Records in 1976. Following the success of Makhalemele’s debut The Peacemaker and Mankunku’s long-awaited sophomore release Alex Express, which both appeared in 1975, the bar had been set very high. Enamoured by their jazz contemporaries, the session was concocted by members of an exciting new South African rock group called Rabbit, who formed a backing group consisting of guit…

The Cherry Point returns with the long gestating follow-up to Night of the Bloody Tapes, a speaker-shredding demolition across two tracks of unforgiving hell. Recorded in Los Angeles, 2020–2024, Dawn of the Bloody Tapes is an unrelenting underground audio annihilation fueled by xeroxed zines, shot-on-tape traumas, and scrambled late-night broadcasts. All electronics by Phil Blankenship. Mixed by John Wiese.
It's exactly what you think it is.
Mirror Repair
2025 Repress. Three decades after its initial release, Gastr del Sol's Mirror Repair remains one of the most perfectly realized statements in the post-rock canon - a five-track EP that captured the crystalline moment when experimental precision met emotional immediacy. Now, Drag City presents a 2025 repress of this essential 1994 release, offering contemporary listeners the opportunity to experience the album that defined the creative partnership between David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke at its most…
Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill
2025 stock The third full-length release for Portland, Oregon-based Liz Harris. Harris might have achieved a significant fan base thanks to the whispering, near-ambient vocal crusades of her debut album Way Their Crept and its follow-up Wide, but those with a careful ear would have heard slightly more trapped beneath her fuzzy chain of effects. Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill marks a departure of sorts for Liz, which sees her turn down the fuzz boxes which caged (and to some degree defined) her s…
Mercury Vineyard Surgeries
*100 copies. Hand numbered double sided screen print* There are albums that slip through the cracks of time, becoming mythical objects that collectors whisper about in hushed tones. Grant Corum's Mercury Vineyard Surgeries was one such release - originally dispersed as cassettes during a 2018 tour, these tapes became talismanic objects that suggested an entirely different relationship between composer and listener, between healing and sound. Now, seven years later, Psychic Sounds has recognized …
