Anon 2 (LP)
*300 copies * These tracks came to life in April 2020 after reading a poem by Charles Baudelaire called ‘Rêve Parisien’ (Parisian Dream) in his book of poetry ‘Les Fleurs du mal’ (Flowers of Evil). I was really focused on the theme of Dreams and this poem spoke to me when the world was experiencing a first global lockdown with these surreal big ghost cities. This side is therefore called ‘Rêve’." - From Overseas "These pieces were composed in July of 2020, just as it was becoming clear that lock…

Zomianscape I & II
Kink Gong works with what is unknown to him, as an artist who’s attracted by beauty and strangeness. Like a stranger, he has been deeply curious about recording ethnic minority music isolated from dominating cultures within South-east Asia, thus working with musicians taking part in specific cultural communities to make almost 200 albums. Like an artist, he has been leaning towards strange marriages, building on these raw materials. They are lived moments that combine space, people and music, as…

Norimono Zukan
50 years ago, Hokkaido-born singer-songwriter Morio Agata released his debut single, Sekishoku Ereji (Red Elegy), an emotive, shuffling piano ballad that (shockingly) sold half a million copies in Japan. While he would never have another Top-40 hit, Agata would spend the next half century issuing a series of idiosyncratic, experimental pop albums. Today, he’s a beloved cult figure, still actively touring and recording in his seventies. In his first decade as a recording artist, Agata released a …
