2006 release ** Cardboard sleeve. The project Uton was started by Jani Hirvonen in Tampere, Finland in 2001. Uton is a spirit, which has no form, but which can take a form if it likes; usually in a sound - which can be found from the Uton releases. The sound and energy is produced and manifested with the help of human; collaborating with our earthly vibrations. From the beginning the sound has been strongly experimental and improvised, but the methods of doing has been changed between the album…
2010 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies in cardboard sleeve. Collaboration with mise_en_scene (Shay Nassi). Source material: field recordings - Berlin, Germany - recorded by Simon Whetham.

2020 release ** "Essential and colorful. The Brightest Room's cover art is perfectly in sync with the music of the Milanese quartet. This spartan rigor is also evident in the choice of titles for their second album, which entrust a single word with the burden of describing an entire song. Run features fourteen of them, all oozing with impeccable melodies and adorned with typically "English" guitars (from small, amateur tailors like Another Sunny Day or Field Mice to the exquisite stitching of Ja…
2006 release ** "Songs is the much-anticipated follow-up to Parisian sound designer and musician Sébastien Roux’s beautiful CD Pillow (Apestaartje, 2004). The simple title of Songs hides a deep work that Roux states is based in mathematics, symmetry (and assymetry) and organized randomness. Songs is a skillfully and beautifully rendered album of gentle and sometimes not-so-gentle acoustic instruments and melodic granular clouds. Each song is titled simply by the instruments that make it, thus st…
2012 release ** "More Songs is the fourth solo album by Sébastien Roux, and a sequel to Songs, released on Taylor Deupree's 12k label. It consists in three electroacoustic compositions which use an ensemble of acoustic instruments (strings, clarinet, horn, percussion, flute) recordings as source material. It starts with the short Créancier de secondes, a musique concrète rereading of the eponymous work by French composer Gérard Pesson. For More Songs, Roux asked fellow composer Mathieu Bonilla …
2016 release ** "Paul Roland’s obsession with the 1931 film White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi, a true cult of voodoo cinema, led him in the 90s to write the basis of what should have been the film’s soundtrack, rewritten by Roland. It was mostly instrumental music, with songs and choirs that depicted the slavery of these men reduced by the mad scientist to zombies, automatons to increase the workforce in the factories. A rather current theme, outside of metaphor… Talking about it one evening at…
2010 release ** "Between bedroom and cyberspace, star fields and samples, the infinite measure of a minimalist journey through electronics with awareness and low-fi style, circling technology and absorbing its rhythmic essence. Like in old science fiction films, listening to "Unknown Language" is a journey through circuits and future realities, MIDI and laptops, video games and unexplored depths, where each track reproduces itself with multiple sounds and effects until reaching an hour of music,…
2025 stock ** ""Indian War Whoop" by The Holy Modal Rounders is a highly experimental and somewhat divisive album, described as a "thoroughly bizarre listening experience" and a blend of psychedelic and traditional folk music. While some find it a "wild acid folk masterpiece," others find it bordering on unlistenable due to its chaotic and experimental nature."

The sleeve – designed by Danial Ali – features a stunning artwork by Christine Ödlund.
2012 release ** "Two for two, Dark Tree. Last year’s Pourtant les Cimes des Arbres was a challenging, powerful piece of music, a perfect snapshot of the bold, demanding improvisation currently being produced on the French scene. It was also a hell of a way to launch a record label. So, even after multiple listenings, it’s still a little hard to digest the fact that their follow-up—En Corps, with Eve Risser on piano, Benjamin Duboc on bass and Edward Perraud on drums—is even more challenging and …
2023 repress. "The first vinyl release in the U.S. for this, the fifth Stars of the Lid album, originally released by Sub Rosa in 1999 and then reissued by Kranky in the fall of 2002. A pivotal album in their career, this marked the first time the duo completely stepped away from the more abstract sound pieces of earlier albums and engaged with the more symphonic and compositional approach that has become the forte of their more recent recordings."
Dark Entries is proud to present the first ever vinyl issue of Jon Krocker’s debut album ‘Monolog’ originally released on cassette in 1983. Jon is from Winnipeg, Canada and got his start as half of the synth noise duo Dialog. In 1981-82, while studying for a BA in Film Studies, he would go to the studio and practice.
