*50 copies limited edition. 8xtapes, book, thumb drive, hand printed postcard, hand-printed cassette artwork, two short essays* Eric Lunde’s recorded output began in the late 1980s, and many of his early releases are long out of print.

However, there is something to be said for being able to both hear the entirety of a release as well as the chronological evolution of…

Across the seven pieces, Mohanna cuts a tapestry of kinetic digital noise, deconstructed guitar, and sweeping brutalist strings, picking off from previous work and engaging the listener with a materiality of…
*150 copies limited edition* Double Pendulum is a selection of new material from NY-based artist/composer Nickolas Mohanna. Using a varied palette of percussive devices alongside the electric guitar and computer, hammered notes flutter into brushed cymbals to create pulsing and immersive shapes.

Placebo's debut LP "Ball of Eyes" is a remarkably focused Soul Jazz record, without the experimentation or Free Jazz moments which were still in vogue during the first half of the '70s. Excellent covers of Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues" and Sam & Dave's "You Got Me Hummin'" as well as his own compositions make "Ball of Eyes" a perfect example of the genius of Marc Moulin and his incredible band.
Thanatosis Records (Stockholm) and Corbett vs. Dempsey (Chicago) are pleased to announce a joint release titled Love, the second record by the quartet Das B. The lineup features Maya Magdas on piano, Mazen Kerbaj on trumpet, Mike Majowski on bass, and Tony Buck on drums.

The release includes both…

Piero Milesi e Daniel Bacalov with the experimental theatre-performance
of the Studio Azzurro and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti. An idea of
immersion in a dimension devoid of gravity, the desire concerning a
soft, ethereal, articulated and perfectly interpenetrated reality. It's
an evocative ambient sound, with rhythmic cadence, soft and repetitive,
full of airiness; the music expresses t…
