Musician and inventor Walter Smetak, who emigrated to Brazil in 1937, is one of the most important protagonists of sound art and experimental improvisation of the Brazilian avant-garde of the 1960s–80s. His work continues to have an impact today.

*Only in German language* Der in der South Side Chicagos aufgewachsene Anthony Braxton (*1945) gehört seit über einen halben Jahrhundert zu den innovativsten, produktivsten und prägendsten Protagonisten der creative music. Unangepasst und kompromisslos seinen Visionen und Überzeugungen folgend, hat er sich in die Annalen der neueren Musikgeschichte mit unverwechselbarer Handschrift eingeschrieben: als bahnbrechender Komponist, mitreißender Performer, aufsehenerregender Improvisationsmusiker, übe…

Taxista!
Pau Riba is one of the essential figures of Catalan music and counterculture, with a completely unique career that started in the late 1960s and still active today. This facsimile reissue of his debut 7” ‘Taxista!’ is the appropriate starting point. Released in 1967, these three wonderful, Dylan-influenced songs revealed a extraordinarily gifted artist.
Inhuman Comedy
Gerritt Wittmer and Ryan Jencks are Deathroes. The project began around 2005, its origin story steeped in black metal tapes, booze, noise and so on. as a performative unit, Deathroes ‘doubled forces,' combining Wittmer's and Jenck's shared fondness for fog-machine saturation and high powered strobe onslaughts with a full-spectrum transmission of aggressive, confrontational, immersive noise. In manifesting chaos and raw power through light and sound, Deathroes intend to provoke a collapse of the …
Manifesto Rumoratorio
Hailing from Sicily is the duo of Pietro La Rocca & Patrycja Stefanek. We last heard from Pietro via the OPER'azinoe Nafta lp, Cavuru from a decade ago. But this is in stark contrast to that. Utilizing delays, toys, voice, guitars, tapes & objects, TR conjures up a rabble as singular as Cromagnon, ONO, or any other of the One Percenters you wanna rat out. I released this lp knowing it would speak to practically no one at the time, but it is a grower, I promise you that. IT HAD TO EXIST. Fans of …
So You Are... So You'll Be
So You Are...So You’ll Be is White Hills’ seventh studio album and was recorded with Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, Swans) at BC Studios where White Hills also recorded 2012’s Frying On This Rock. Long after man has ceased to exist; long after the mountains have fallen into the sea; long after the oceans have boiled dry; long after the sun has burst and evaporated planet Earth - humankind’s mark on the universe will still be felt. There will be a circular ripple of radio waves created duri…
Smash
Ixthuluh was a pure jam band that never played firmly rehearsed tracks or even foreign cover songs. The band chose not to practise some songs in a rehearsal room to perfect them, rather that everything played live was unique and unrepeatable. Ixthuluh was an Austrian Psychedelic Rock and Krautrock band active from 1975-1981 and never did a official release. “Smash” is their very first official output – 39 years after breaking up.
Proserpine
Circular patterns morphing through time, loop and ritual form the fabric of Proserpine, the latest work by Leeds-based musician, Teresa Winter. Recorded from a summer to a winter through 2021 and 2022, Proserpine is Winter’s most cohesive, focused music to date: confidently revelling in space, fixating on isolated sounds and giving way to satisfying, swirling waves of vocal and electronic buzz. Proserpine is Teresa Winter’s debut recording for Glasgow-based label, Night School. On Proserpine, mu…

Option Explore
Option Explore, Dylan Moon’s second full-length album, is a glassy-eyed survey of pop’s playing field both past and present, and a collection of clever, colorful songs filtered through frequencies, timbres, and dreams discovered and discarded while its maker shifts from one sub-genre to the next.
Option Explore signals a significant departure from Moon’s debut 2019 album Only the Blues, which at its heart is a folk record from the forlorn fringes of psychedelia: a little mysterious, but ultimate…
Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story The Earth And Sky
Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story The Earth And Sky is the debut album from multi-disciplinary British artist Wayne Phoenix. Originally conceived over a decade ago as one part of an elaborate project encompassing music, film, and performance, story the earth and sky is not only a profoundly personal and vulnerable expression unbound by Phoenix’s exploration of creative potential and mystery, but a bridge beyond the artificial boundaries that separates us from an unfiltered voice found within all. The …

An enchanted exploration of unusual source synthesis, electro-acoustic arrangements, and found sound, Advanced Myth is its own cosmos expanding in real time. Newly mastered from definitive mixes by Stephan Mathieu, and available for the first time on vinyl.
In the absence of conventional structure, it’s shifts in spirit that provide Advanced Myth’s emotive signposti…
Volume II
Following the compass of an entrancing debut, Flore Laurentienne’s Volume II presents another palette of rich orchestral sound, where changing forces of water inspire metaphorical markers that navigate passages of life and loss.
Mathieu David Gagnon resumes his voyage into environment and emotion with Volume II, drawing inspiration from the rivers and rugged wilderness of the composer’s native Quebec. In his return as Flore Laurentienne – the namesake of an inventory documenting St. Lawrence Val…
In February
Big Tip! On in February, Isik Kural works like a photographer of sound, documenting the passing and returning of time as if material snapshots of life’s temporality. Across the album’s twelve songs, each composed from chance loops and cocooned within the soft container of Isik’s memorable voice and melody play, time is held on to hopefully, impossibly, eternally. Born in Istanbul, Isik studied music engineering at the University of Miami, alighted in New York City, and eventually settled in Glas…
Angel Tears in Sunlight
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…
