Kalt
*70 copies limited edition* Rubies flicker in and out the redounding dark smoke of urban imagery, circles of deep space ignited with fiery psychedelic mists. Ride on shadowy golden manes in fleeting bands upon the winds of Yokujitsu.
Micropenis Envy
*50 copies limited edition* Torschlusspanik is the experimental moniker of the multi-talented, Tennessee-based artist Luna Mitchell. A follow-up to last year's "Intersexual Healing" on No Rent Records and her second release on Orb, this new tape features more of her unique and intricate style of sound collage that has come to be expected from this project. Garbled incantations, chopped field recordings, and the indecipherable in-between collide in beautiful, hectic harmony across these 8 new tra…

An exploration of the soundscape of coastal cities by the French-Lebanese artist.
Sprecato
First album in seven years from Maple Death Records founder James Jonathan Clancy (Italy/Canada), and the first under his birth name following previous ensembles His Clancyness (Fat Cat, Maple Death) and Brutal Birthday (Total Punk, Improved Sequence). In the interim between those projects and this latest, ‘Sprecato’, Clancy has refined and honed his vision —steadily and carefully drawing from a host of disparate influences to create a new kind of singer-songwriter album that bridges the divide …
Self-care
Visionary, challenging and beautiful, pushing the potentiality of organized sound incrementally ahead, Vanessa Rossetto's 'Self-care' is unquestionably one of the most engaging releases we've heard so far this year. A bristling expanse of environmental texture and incident, slowing building across its duration into a moody sonic space of startling psychological depth.
Paradise Lost
*Limited edition of 200* Inspired by films he grew up watching and a passion for vintage recording equipment, Eyot Tapes has crafted ten pieces of music recording only to cassettes, using cassette loops, spring reverbs, tape delays and a modular synthesiser. Weaving in and out of different moods, with 'Edgar Rice Burroughs' stories never far from his mind, he takes you on a trip through an off world, tropical fantasy.
Elektron Kukeso
After having served in the rich Swedish beat 1960's scene as a member of The Ghostriders and We 4, a.o., at the end of the decade Hans Edler became one of the pioneers of psychedelic electronic sounds experimentation in Europe. His "Elektron Kukéso" LP is a landmark in the genre. Released in 1971, it featured his explorations in electronic avant-garde music from the period 1969-1971. It was recorded at the Electronic Music Studio foundation, one of the world's most advanced studios in the era, a…

Crooked Dances presents a series of Erik Satie’s piano works as played in a flatshare with various interruptions by those who also contribute to the electricity, water and internet bills. It compris…
Recordings On Sex Instruction

Their purpose is to offer guidance to grown-ups on how to have important conversations with children about sexuality, including masturbation, menstruation, the miracle of new life, and the wonders of marriage.

For a Moment Nothing Happens
Tip! **Edition of 50** At the end of 2019 Jarra already surprised us with his IsoMonads tape, but now he ventures even deeper into the void with For A Moment Nothing Happens. One moment you can only perceive small and cautious footsteps moving through an inaccessible, icy universe, while the next an infernal cosmic mechanism switches into overdrive. Indeed, for a single moment nothing seems to happen, but then Jarra pulls out all the stops. Subtly and patiently he immerses his listener in a delu…
The Heart of Nature
**80 copies** The Yorkshire based tape splicer and improvisor Stuart Chalmers has been using found cassettes to create his own sounds since his days playing with Cube Orchestra in Bristol.

"To truly understand nature you must lose yourself in it, but its then you actually find yourself. The…
Lost In The Scenery
*80 copies limited edition* Ikuisuus presents Lost In The Scenery by Sunhiilow
II
*70 copies limited edition* "Here are our musical ambitions given form by electric guitars, keyboards and digitally recorded loops. Here are also the ambiguities and uncontrollable elements of life. You’ll hear the late summer wind in the background, the wind-chimes hanging from the garden shed, the kids’ feet walking over the gravel, their voices in the distance. Both worlds make this single-take live recording a whole." - Opal SatelliteRecorded on August 22nd, 2022 in Hämeenkyrö, Finland

Gateshead Graves
**2024 stock. Edition of 200 with hand-numbered insert.** In the crowded field of guitar droneworks, UK musician Lee Stokoe could be said to be hidden in plain sight. For two decades, his solo project Culver and in-house tape label Matching Head have produced a consistent stream of releases without approaching anything near household-name status. This is due in part to a workmanlike, low-profile approach to recording and releasing music, despite time served in the mighty Skullflower. And then th…
