Winter Songs
A reissue of the brilliant second album by Art Bears, a band/project featuring Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause, formed in 1978 after disputes over the musical direction within Henry Cow. 'Winter Songs', originally released in 1979, placed Art Bears in the forefront of the Rock In Opposition Movement. Art Bears' intense and brutal avant-garde approach on the album comes across as primordial expression, which is nailed down by Krause's violently charismatic voice. As a piece of music re…

Antiphonals
Canadian-in-LA electroacoustic composer Sarah Davachi has rediscovered her muse since releasing work on her own label, Late Music. Having explored hitherto unheard realms of enchanting melodic organ and electronics drones on her 2020 album Cactus, Descant, Antiphonals further explores these ideas using a sound palette of Mellotron, electric organ, piano, and synthesizer. Referring to church music sung or recited alternately by two groups in its title — Antiphonal is a studied solo affair in whi…

A Gira
A longtime favorite among Brazilian music collectors, Trio Ternura’s ‘A Gira’ blends mid-tempo grooves with percussive funk and soul in a way that feels effortlessly timeless. Originally released in 1973, the track was written by the group’s father and uncle as a heartfelt homage to the Candomblé deity celebrating nature and spirituality. Trio Ternura was a true family project, made up of three siblings with deep musical roots. According to them ‘A Gira’ captures “the dancing, the expression, th…

Trans Canada Highway
Tip! *2024 stock* Quality control has never been much of a problem for Boards of Canada. The duo has magnified its legacy at least partly by indulging in generous spells of inactivity. The infrequency of BoC's output has not only fed into the mythos of their carefully cultivated brand, it's also engendered a level of trust that's served as a consolatory point of pride for fans who've felt shut out by the duo's otherwise total remove from the peripheral obligations (live shows, videos, interviews…
Tomorrow's Harvest
*2024 stock* "After all the intrigue, hidden codes on 12" records that went on to sell for astronomical amounts of money on eBay, adverts on Cartoon Network, a song played at a Tokyo intersection, and other covert shenanigans that made the Daft Punk teaser campaign look prosaic, here I am, in the Warp offices in North West London, signing a disclaimer ahead of an exclusive listen to the new Boards Of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. It's a fitting way to listen to a record by a band whose obses…
The White Arcades
*2024 stock* A classic Harold Budd album originally released in 1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins studio with production help from Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, 'The White Arcades' effortless blend of glistening synths, limpid piano notes, foggy textures and space result in a beautiful contemplative whole.
“Although its aura is ethereal and unworldly, Budd's music is actually an exemplary form of humanly useful music. When the mundane urgencies of life, or the nonsense of our political c…

For Re-Up, France's Étant Donnés (Eric & Marc Hurtado) brought in Alan Vega, Lydia Lunch and Genesis P-Orridge to provide lyrics and vocals for specific contributions. Vega, featured on the first four tracks, juxtaposes his stream-of-conscious vocals with the phasing pulses and analog crackles and sighs on "Shadows Lights", responding to the rhythmic ticking and splintering synth on the …
Incunabula
Having first emerged onto a post-acid house 1993, Incunabula was released as part 7 of the now legendary Artificial Intelligence series of albums and compilations from Warp.

(Ch-vox) (REDUX)
2025 stock If Succour was Seefeel’s departure from the cul de sac of shoegaze music to wander through the desert of abstract electronics, 1996’s (Ch-Vox) which has been out of print since its original release is the sound of a group building a civilisation in the remotest spot, revelling in their sound far away from the rest of the world, their tones arriving to us like strange signals through the air. Singular as each of Seefeel’s LPs are, (Ch-Vox) could well be their definitive statement, a co…
The Making of Five Leaves Left
Last year, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake’s untimely passing—yet his music remains as vital as ever. His influence stretches far and wide, inspiring artists across generations, from Liz Phair and Radiohead’s Philip Selway to Let’s Eat Grandma and Fontaines D.C., all of whom paid tribute on 2023’s The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake. But while covers keep his spirit alive, nothing compares to hearing the man himself. And now, for the first time, we’re getting a …
