Flowers
On Flowers, Zuni (Benito Simoncini) moves from lean, guitar‑driven funk‑rock into more exploratory terrain, trading bluesy riffs for bass‑and‑synth experiments and spacey percussion pieces that gently unravel the classic Italian library mood.
Just Glittering/Idwal Fisher (Book)
Just Glittering and Idwal Fisher were two collaborative noise zines produced by Mark Wharton, featuring work by the genre’s finest exponents and fans. The first issues of Just Glittering appeared in the late 1990s, and the two zines went on to document a fertile decade of creative noise-making. Back then, you couldn’t walk past a pub in Leeds without hearing windows rattled by a passing Japanese noise artist or effects pedals looped into submission, whilst meat thermometers regularly disappeared…
America's Greatest Noise (Book)
The next book on Korm Plastics contains no photographs of the artists, no list of released records, no pictures of record sleeves, and no footnotes. It is not a hardcover, not on glossy paper and is not expensive.

Ste Cy
Ste Cy, the latest studio offering from the trio of Jac Berrocal, Vincent Epplay, and Timo van Luijk, ripens like a forbidden fruit—born of an improvised instrumental session captured in the secluded hush of Kulta Saha by Timo van Luijk.These raw recordings were later reshaped into 12 songs by Vincent Epplay at Studio Villejuif in Paris. And over it all drifts the poetry of Jac Berrocal - sensual and incendiary, seeping into the music like spice into flesh.
LP includes recto/verso insert with ly…

Colla Voce
What if the blue that I see is different from the blue that you see? This question is an infrastructure for my Afro-Surrealist Anti-Opera, Colla Voce. Often, when we think of Surrealism, we think of subconscious mental states, dreams, nightmares-those unexplored corners of our psyche. But Afro-Surrealism protests: what if that which one calls a ‘dream' is a nightmare to another? What if that which one calls ‘rational' is completely baseless to another? And surely, we must have varying ideas of w…

LDS
On LDS, Henrik Raabe steps away from Wareika’s cool deep house and into a slow‑burn world of dub‑soaked guitars, pastel synths and feather‑light percussion, folding jazz, Afro pulses and 1980s UK dream‑pop into something quietly hypnotic.
Everything Is Possible

Norman McLaren was once described by composer, music theorist, and mathematician Milton Babbitt as “the first electronic musician.” In addition to his pioneering work in animation, the electronic s…

Larrison’s Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999 rescues a lone CZ‑5000 and one quietly obsessive mind from cassette oblivion, revealing 26 miniatures where lo‑fi space‑age pop, DIY synth craft and daydream cinema gently fold into each other.
interius/exterius
