Released in limited editions of 300 copies on LP and 200 copies on CD, sculpting entirely singular and visionary tapestries of sonority at the borders of noise, industrial, and music concrète, it encounters an artist of towering importance at the height of her powers, and is unquestionably one of the most exciting new releases of the …
Lol Coxhill & Totsuzen Danball
One of the wildest albums that British reedman Lol Coxhill ever played on – and that's really saying a lot, as he's played on a heck of a lot of wild albums! The set's done with a Japanese group, and it's got an insane mix of improvised jazz and post-punk energy – Lol's work on soprano sax mixing with guitar, drums, and percussion – often used in different combinations from track to track – sometimes very free, sometimes with more of a song structure, and vocals from singer Eiichi Tsutaki in Jap…

Einige Schadstoffe
In "Einige Schadstoffe", we have quite the potent homage to the classic era of industrial noise. Think Throbbing Gristle’s Second Annual Report, Come’s I’m Jack, MB’s Symphony For A Genocide, and even Nord’s Ego Trip. The sentimentlinking all of these records is a clinical detachment in the production and broadcast of scalding tone, sickly rhythm,and unclean readymades, emerging through the spectacle of the human conditions of alienation, paranoia, and cruelty. Ultimately, such works are intende…
The Glare of the Nave

Howard Ryan, the san francisco citizen behind the hauras moniker, composed this album in seclusion during the second year of the pandemic. it's a crumpled album from a crumpled time. ryan conjures his fragments of guitar, keys, scan…

Recorded during the first half of 2020, their 8-track debut album for Förlag För Fri Musik brings together a vast amount of influences into something overpowering and genuinely immersive.

Sleep Patterns of The Discontent
* 2020 Stock * One can be a discontent – that is, an insurgent or a revolutionary – but there is also that more literal, personal meaning of the word which may be in most cases equally applicable to those to which we refer here and, in either case, there is a sort of disruption implicit, as in a hypnopompic state.» A non–linear mix by Michael Anderson / Drekka, with portrait interludes by Mark Trecka. Performed and mixed live 21 October 2015 at The Artifex Guild, Bloomington, Indiana by Michael …
