Hopes And Fears
The first Art Bears LP, mostly made by the band formerly known as Henry Cow and completed by Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause who went on, as '[Art Bears', to investigate this short song format further over the next two years, once Henry Cow had ceased to exist. Experimenting with the song form and the productive possibilities of the recording studio, this was hailed in its time (1978) as a landmark recording, and has been constantly in demand ever since. Therefore this new versi…
Favourite Berlin Sounds
Site recordings from Berlin by audio explorer Peter Cusack, documenting evocative locations throughout the city based on an inquiry into Berlin resident's favorite sounds, with a booklet detailing the 31 recordings and the scope of the project. A beautifully realised sound homage to the city of Berlin, presenting its signature sounds, exquisitely recorded, in a carefully documented and evocatively designed package. There’s not a lot more to say; This does exactly what it says on the cover.
Spiritual America
"Spiritual America" is a story of dualities - experimental yet emotionally direct, complex yet raw, exceedingly personal yet broad in scope. Featuring hi-fi orchestra and award-winning children's chorus juxtaposed against bit-crushed guitars, iPhone-derived samples, and vintage synthesizers, Brittelle's genre-fluid, collage-like compositional style finds its fullest, most unadulterated form throughout the album. Bits of hair metal, experimental electronic, vaporwave, modern classical, indie rock…
Michael Angelo
Enigmatic exemplar of subterranean overachievers, Michael Angelo Nigro, has long been known to sound-hounds searching for esoteric figures on the fringe. He was a man out-of-time, with unerring vision and dedication, principally known for his head-of-the-class 1977 private-press joy, “Michael Angelo” (Guinn 1050—aka The Guinn Album). The Guinn Album, almost entirely an effort of self-creation, is a staggering, hook-filled, inner space hi-fi snap-shot of dreamy pop psychedelia, filled with contem…

Eddie Gale's Ghetto Music
From Elemental Music comes the long overdue vinyl reissue of one of greatest and most standalone albums in both the legendary Blue Note catalog and the history of American jazz: the longtime Sun Ra Arkestra trumpeter Eddie Gale’s 1968 debut “Ghetto Music”. A towering hybrid of free jazz, spiritual jazz, and gospel, infused with politics of Black Nationalism and self-determination of its era that culminate in a writhing, heavy sound like nothing else, it’s one of those records that pulls the rug …

Certain Materials
Debut release from this Australian modern primitive duo. With lyrics cut from dated astronomy texts & ping pong vocal rounds soaked in reverb, Primitive Motion create their own brand of spontaneous, steam-powered electronic pop. Their moves recall Joe Jones’ readymades, Joe Meek's I Hear a New World & the minimalism of The Door and Window, as preset keyboard, voices and cosmic flute intersect with machine / human beat systems across the four songs on Certain Materials. Primitive Motion is Leight…
Untitled
Seven inch split between Fugu & The Cosmic Mumu and Death Sentence: Panda!
Split
2010 release. Wheezing skyward-born machine groans and gasped tremolo root to a kinetic pulse, while distant melody zones ascend to circulate around the bass flex on this face-chewer by Neil Campbell. On the flip is the first vinyl cut by Glockenspiel; flocculent tones weave with tom rub and bowed metal harmonics, drifting on the back of a drum dub to the heart of a snow-blind haze of feedback, amplified string scrape, and analog electronics. Art by Noah Campbell.

Unremembered
*2024 stock* A meditation on memory, innocence, and the haunted grandeur of the natural world, Unremembered recalls strange and beautiful happenings experienced during a childhood in rural Massachusetts: a houseguest takes sudden leave in the middle of the night; a boy makes a shocking discovery on a riverbank; a girl disappears in woods behind a ranging farm; ghosts appear with messages for the living. Through Bellows's moving words and images and Snider's vivid, fraught, astonishing score, the…

Deusa Náusea
Deusa Náusea being intimately unusual, balances you as in the cradle of a feverish baby with its fragmented beauty and her delicacy that serpentines our brain. Polarized, reversed, perplexed, epithelialized by espectral processes and beleza pura. Chunks of voices chopped and minced in the metric drip leave you in continuous tele-transformation, by centrifuging our deepest interiors as if she would like to break with just enough strength the structural matrix of a song. Inês Malheiro, with her pe…
