Woodscratcher
Woodscratcher (Scratching Wood) is a composition and sound generating machine from Austrian composer, media-artist, sound-sculptor and performer, Winfried Ritsch. Already known as collaborator in different projects with Bernhard Lang (pieces from his series Differenz/Wiederholung, Trike), Peter Ablinger (Klavierautomat), Ritsch created “my own dedication to noise pieces of experimental music from 70s onwards”. This machine cuts a 2-5cm thick disk of a wooden trunk in a circular line along the gr…
California Sigh
Guitarist Lee Underwood’s syncretic blend of jazz, folk, and blues was a tremendous force behind Tim Buckley’s genre-stretching late 60s/early 70s music – but his 1988 acoustic guitar opus California Sigh has remained a unsung footnote to his story. Until now! This first time vinyl-edition reveals Lee’s free-floating acoustic moods, with synths and co-production from ambient avatar Steve Roach, as a soulful work of tranquility and transcendence.

Projectile
Projectile is an artist’s book by Reto Geiser, David Grubbs, and John Sparagana that spirals outward from a single source image: a news photograph of chair-throwing at the conclusion of a cancelled rock concert in the early 1980s. Visual artist John Sparagana has long produced sliced and mixed collage works in which a source image is enlarged, copies of the image sliced vertically into 1/8” strips and then sequenced horizontally, followed by a second stage in which the stretched image is sliced …
If I don’t make it, I love u
‘If I don't make it, I love u’ is Still House Plants’ third LP and the fullest embodiment of their sound to date. Where ‘Fast Edit’ formed with quick attachment and jump cuts, ‘If I don't make it’ is shaped by persistence - a commitment to the songs that makes the music solid, warmer and accepted. Marking the trio’s decade of friendship, this is the first record written whilst all live in the same city since 2017's ‘Assemblages’. The band rehearsed it relentlessly, playing for nobody except them…
Ilona Staller

Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide
Huuuge Tip! **100 numbered copies in poster cover with printed inner sleeve, 180g audiophile vinyl** Since its launch roughly five years ago, the Rome based imprint, Anomala Soundscapes, has quietly mined Italy’s rich context of experimental electronic and electroacoustic music, focusing their energies toward the densities of meaning and possibility activated by these practices and territories of sound, via releases by artists like Mark Schaub, Daniele Pecorelli, and Rumore Austero. The label’s …
Vaco
Tip! **100 numbered copies in black 'disco bag' cover with sticker, 180g audiophile vinyl** Active on the scene for more than two decades, Maath is the moniker of Marco Ramassotto, who briefly came to note during the early 2000s as a member of the ritualistic, musical excursions of Biasthon, as well as working under the pseudonym of Mark Schaub. Despite Maath’s many years of activity, Ramassotto has only produced a tiny number of releases under that guise, most notably “No Survivors for the New …
Oxidation
*250 copies limited edition* For the first time on vinyl, the Prurient long form cassette ‘expunged from the record’ final shrine before the closing of the now highly controversial and inimitable brick and mortar basement recordings. Remastered for vinyl for ultra caustic stimulating misery going back to a time in new york that could only be described as ‘unsub’.
Carpathes
"Percussionist Paul Lovens turns in some exemplary work on Carpathes, joined by Michel Pilz (bcl) and Peter Kowald (b). Actually it is mostly Pilz' date as he appears throughout the record either in solo, trio or duo with Kowald. But it is Lovens who most impresses me here as he hammers, rings, jingles the percussion, managing to both give rhythmic freedom and abstraction while implying a more traditional rhythm and he sustains himself very well. Actually the rhythm is constantly outstanding in …
A Shared Sense of Purpose
The first transmission from forthcoming Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan's new album, "Your Community Hub"
"A Shared Sense of Purpose" looks at the small community centres that helped Runcorn become a five minute city, long before the current discussion about fifteen minute cities. The idea that the larger town would be divided into smaller centres, each with a set of facilities at the heart, and designed to be within five minutes walk of anyone’s front door. It looks at the faciliti…
New Meridien
In 1994, UK ambient pioneers O Yuki Conjugate recorded their landmark Equator album. To mark the 30th anniversary of this musical milestone, many of the same personnel – Roger Horberry (co-founder of O Yuki Conjugate), Dan Mudford (ex-Sons of Silence and co-creator of the Shaun of the Dead soundtrack), Joe Lamb (ex-Sons of Silence) and Malcolm McGeorge – came together to make New Meridian, reflecting the range of influences they’ve picked up over the intervening years.
Generously described as “a…
Halfway to a Threeway
2024 stock. "Well, never mind--as long as people love it, here's another few sides of long-ago and far-away Jim O'Rourke back on vinyl for the first time since way back in the mid-aughties. It's the Halfway to a Threeway 12" EP back to set turntables a-spinnin'! Fans of Eureka and Insignificance (not to mention Jim's tomfoolery as part of the Loose Fur band) will appreciate the analog pressing of these four slices of the pop music party-pooper combination of folk, classic rock, smooth jazz and a…
Solo Throat
Solo Throat is the first solo LP from vocalist, composer and movement artist Elaine Mitchener. Drawing on the work of African-American and African-Caribbean poets Edward Kamau Brathwaite, Aimé Césaire, Una Marson and N. H. Pritchard, these twelve new vocal compositions disrupt semantic sense, play with the margins of lyrical translation, and give rise to new voicings. Elaine Mitchener is a veteran of vocal expression in the global Black Avant Garde, traversing free improvisation, cross-disciplin…
