2018 small repress. Honest Jon's Records present a reissue of Derek Bailey and Anthony Braxton's Royal, expanded to include both intended volumes. Volume 1 was originally released in 1984; the second volume was never issued. The second release in a series of collaborations between Honest Jon's Records and Incus: three double-LPs of the legendary free-improvising guitarist Derek Bailey, solo (HJR 200LP) and in duos with Anthony Braxton and Han Bennink (HJR 202LP), augmenting the original releases…
Continuing the series of collaborations between Honest Jon’s and Incus. As throughout the series, the recordings are newly transferred from tape at Abbey Road, and re-mastered by Rashad Becker. And here we have this incredible duo from underrated cellist Tristan Honsinger and Derek Bailey, originally released on Incus in 1976. There are parralels between this record and fellow sometime Parisian string pkayer Joelle Leandre's Taxi, but really, Honsinger's voice is like no other - there's less rev…
In an age when mental landscapes have become as urgent as physical ones, Sounds From The Screen presents a rediscovered treasure from the golden era of Italian library music: Alessandro Alessandroni's haunting 1975 masterwork "Angoscia." Originally released by Octopus, a label devoted to thematic libraries, "Angoscia" stands as one of Alessandroni's most psychologically penetrating works. Here, the composer native of Lazio demonstrates his unparalleled ability to transform abstract emotional sta…
One of the most striking and enigmatic works to appear on Discreet Music in recent years. There is a long tradition of artists who have tried to set scripture to music and failed magnificently - the failure itself becoming the subject, the wound becoming the work. Carrie DeCunzo Mirande's debut album belongs to this lineage. In the twenty-four days before Christmas 2024, she read the twenty-four chapters of the Book of Luke and attempted to respond in sound. Two piano pieces emerged - one inspir…
The Greatest Living Guitarist returns! Following the acclaimed Broken Heart Surgery in 2025, Roy Montgomery delivers another stunning chapter in his ever-expanding sonic universe. Recorded in 2016 during a period of great turbulence in Montgomery's home life, Guitars Infernal emerges NOW - a decade later - because, while wholly instrumental, it "speaks" to extremely turbulent times in the world at large. Hold on to your hats. This is HEAVY.
Nine tracks of pure six-string electric guitar alchemy.…
Går I Kras is the fourth album from the Gothenburg-trio Amateur Hour that consists of Hugo Randulv, Julia Bjernelind and Dan Johansson. While in many ways continuing where the massive Krökta Tankar Och Brända Vanor double left off in 2022, the new 11-song album is arguably the most accessible and refined recording yet from the group, with some of their strongest tracks to date. Still blending dreamy lo-fi pop music with electronics and crude sound collages, The Cannanes through a meatgrinder and…
*150 copies limited edition* Beautiful edition of glass mastered CDs with hand painted covers by Tim Bradley on full color 400g offset print card stock in thick PVC sleeves that we think really compliments the, at times radical, combination of sounds and textures in the music. The works are "over painted photographs", directly inspired by Gerhard Richter's series of the same title (Übermalte Fotografien). Bradley says: "To paint over a photograph is to admit that truth is always blurred—each ges…

Since the duo’s inception in 2021, Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland have released 5 LPs of their turntablism/percussion fusion. This is their first single before adding Helge Thornes as a vocalist and morphing into Hebbex d’Expectatio Expectata. Recorded during the 2023 Get Next recording sessions at Consulatet in Stavanger, this single compresses the duo’s sound and approach into two 3-minute no-nonsense tracks. Pressures of the Fresh is a hectic electro-pastiche drowned in the murky waters o…

This recording is exactly what it says it is - drums and drones - based on Just Intonation tuning theory: A tuning system modeled after a naturally occurring acoustic phenomenon known as overtones, the subsidiary tones which exist in an ordered series from an established primary tone. Stemming from this single primary tone an infinite amount of overtones can be derived.
