BACK IN PRINT ON VINYL! While 1995's Washing Machine LP moniker was a thinly-veiled jab at the corporate aesthetic ("no, you cannot turn Sonic Youth into a household appliance brand", the band even considered changing its name to Washing Machine but settled on the album title instead), their major label relationship was indeed a curious buzzpoint of talk on the street after their intake to DGC in 1990. It wouldn't be fair to say that this state of existence propelled the band to reinforce its i…
Clifford Darling, Please Don't Live In The Past
Severed Heads are one of the longest surviving bands to emerge from the Australian post-punk independent music scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, incorporating elements of ‘industrial’ noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable mutant electro pop style. After many line-up changes featuring Garry Bradbury and psychedelic guitarist Simon Knuckey, Severed Heads was…
Muscle Up
Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up again to release another volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the canon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco where he founded …
The Where House?
Colin Potter is a sound engineer and musician currently based in London. He has worked within the fields of electronic and experimental music for over 35 years, collaborating with the likes of Current 93, The Hafler Trio, Organum, Andrew Chalk, and most notably as a key part of Nurse With Wound alongside Steven Stapleton. He started the esteemed ICR (Integrated Circuit Recordings) label in 1981 releasing a clutch of wonderful home recordings of his own, over half a dozen small run cassette only …
Ear Bitten / No Vowels, No Bowels
Dark Entries picks up Severed Heads yet again for Ear Bitten, a double LP reissue of some of the band’s earliest material. As originary Aussie industrial legends - although founder Tom Ellard would balk at being branded as such - Severed Heads shaped the continental subcultural sound with their kitchen electronics, chaotic tape loops, and quietly infectious nursery-rhyme-esque melodies.
In 1979 Ellard, Richard Fielding, and Andrew Wright abandoned the moniker Mr. and Mrs. No Smoking Sign and ado…
Afternooners
*2023 repress!!* Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up once more to release the final volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. One of the most revolutionary and influential figures in the canon of disco, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, “The San Francisco Sound.” Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study at the City College of San Francisco. He founded the Ele…
Space Museum
Tip! ** 2024 repress ** Dark Entries present the first ever official vinyl reissue of Space Museum by Solid Space. Solid Space was the British duo of Dan Goldstein (keyboards, vocals) and Matthew 'Maf' Vosburgh (guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals) formed in 1980. Dan and Matthew met at the age of 11 while attending school in north London. In late 1978 at at the age of 14, they formed Exhibit 'A' with Paul “Platypus” and Andrew “Lunchbox” Bynghall. They recorded two EPs in 1979 and 1980, self-releas…
Inspiration Information + Wings of Love
Ignored upon its release in 1974 and celebrated upon its reissue in 2001, Shuggie Otis' fourth and last album Inspiration Information exists out of time, a record that was of its time, but didn't belong of it; a record that was idiosyncratic but not necessarily visionary. It was psychedelic soul that was released far too late to be part of any zeitgeist and it was buried at the time. Yet no matter what David Byrne claims on the sticker - he says Shuggie's "trippy R&B jams are equal to Marvin's a…
The Four Louies
Bill Orcutt’s The Four Louies is a daring and inventive hybrid, merging two iconic pillars of 20th-century organ-driven music—The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” and Steve Reich’s “Four Organs”—into a single, genre-defying composition. Through meticulous digital cut-ups, looping, and live transcriptions, Orcutt transforms these classics into a new work that is as much a celebration of raw garage rock energy as it is a study in minimalist structure and repetition
Silver Sessions
"Silver Sessions were taken from an evening when Sonic Youth had to do vocal overdubs for 'A Thousand Leaves' - the band upstairs was hammering out some funky metal overdrive and we couldn't "sing" properly - we decided to fight fire with molten lava and turned every amp we owned on to 10+ and leaned as many guitars and basses we could plug in against them and they roared/howled like airplanes burning over the pacific - we could only enter the playing room with hands pressed hard against our ear…
Four Guitars Live
As Bill Orcutt’s most mature and exhilarating LP to date, Music for Four Guitars was a slab of undeniable Apollonian beauty. Its approachability and obvious novelty landed it not only on the year- end lists of every key-pushing codger in the underground in 2022, but also on NPR in the form of the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet, an ensemble assembled to perform this music and featuring Wendy Eisenberg, Ava Mendoza, and Shane Parish. But while their Tiny Desk Concert gave a whiff of the quartet’s easy…
Mechanical Fantasy Box
"Patrick Cowley (1950–82) was one of the most revolutionary and influential figures in electronic dance music. Born in Buffalo, Cowley moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study music at the City College of San Francisco. By the mid '70s, his synthesizer techniques landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco diva Sylvester, including hits such as "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)." Cowley created his own brand of peak-time party music known as Hi-NRG, dubbed "the San Francisco Sound." Hi…
Pier & Loft
Self-released on cassette in 1983, Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Pier & Loft is a contemporary ambient holy grail, gaining a cult status decade after decade. On this album he brought his environmental music in different areas. Yoshimura had a class on its own, far removed from standard new age or electronic music being released at the time.
Kayoko Nonsense
2025 stock A special collaboration between old friends Justin Simon and Nagisa Yoko. Justin's songwriting and production take Yoko into more primitive/tweaked out territory than her usual recorded output. It also features fellow Yoko fan and notorious underground Tokyo journalist Naruse's ode to Yoko, recorded late one night in Inokashira park. Takuyuki Moriya (Ghost, Tsuki No Wa) plays bass on "Kamikakushi." Yoko bio from old Mesh-Key website:
If Asakawa Maki were possessed with Iggy Pop's sou…
Skaeliptom
Sincere dysphoria is a disarming tonic, and 'Skaeliptom' is steeped in it, if not fortified by it. Quietly appearing on the Periferin label in 2013, Varg's debut recording presents with grave intent filtered through a pacifying melancholic haze. A remastered version now arrives on Northern Electronics.
Originally disclosed on cassette with a ziplocked excerpt of a cindered church, 'Skaeliptom' is a depressive tour of Varg's early experiments. As if bleached unconscious by northern winters, his t…
Broken Gargoyles
Tip! Employing a vast array of advanced vocal and instrumental techniques, Broken Gargoyles is arguably Diamanda Galás' most intellectually, sonically and viscerally formidable work to date. The album finds the visionary artist deftly probing the weaving, warping transformation on the nervous systems of her post-traumatic soldiers and dying diseased. The album's first part, "Mutilatus," contains the Georg Heym poems "Das Fieberspital" and "Die Dämonen der Stadt," and concerns the suffering of th…
Allen Ginsberg's The Fall Of America

Featuring Yo La Tengo, Ed Sanders, Shintaro Sakamoto, Angelique Kidjo, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Devendra Banhart, Bill Frisell, Andrew Bird and more. "In 1965, Bob Dylan gifted Allen Ginsberg with a Uher, reel-to-reel tape recorder, which Ginsberg was to use to record his thoughts and observations as he traveled t…
Lilies
Arovane's acclaimed 2004 album »Lilies« has been out of print on vinyl for nearly 2 decades now. It finally gets a well-deserved reissue through the Berlin based Keplar label. The new version has been remastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering and comes with a brand new cover artwork.
Psychic Geography
DOVS are the duo of Vienna’s Johannes Auvinen, aka Tin Man, and Mexico City’s Gabo Barranco, aka AAAA. Psychic Geography is their second album together, but it differs considerably from both their respective solo work and their 2019 debut LP together, Silent Cities: Where that album’s hardware-based acid kept its gaze focused squarely on the dancefloor, Psychic Geography is a strictly ambient affair. The album has its roots in a trio of beatless tracks that peppered Silent Cities; this time, the…
In Concert
** Rare original copies, unplayed. Unofficial release and very rare to find. Minor wear due to ageing on covers ** In Concert captures Ornette Coleman at a thrilling crossroads, performing live in Padua with a quartet that brilliantly embodies his restless creative spirit. Alongside Coleman-who alternates between alto sax, trumpet, and violin-are James “Blood” Ulmer on guitar, Sirone (Norris Jones) on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. This lineup, recorded in 1974, marks a period where Coleman w…
