Eternity's Pillar
Los Angeles, 1985. Every Sunday after midnight, on KTTV Channel 11, an independent commercial television station, something appeared that had no business being on commercial television: Alice Coltrane, appearing as Turiya, broadcasting devotional wisdom, meditation and music straight into the Californian night. The programme was called Eternity's Pillar. It ran until 1988, then vanished, thought lost for decades, until seventeen episodes surfaced from broadcast master tapes held by the Coltrane …
Zermisz
*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …
Live On WUOM 1979
Two Rooms Records is excited to announce its tenth and most significant release yet, "Live on WUOM 1979" by Griot Galaxy. Nearly lost to history, this double-length release captures an extended radio performance by the seminal Afro-futurist jazz group, aka “The Sci-Fi Band,” featuring stunning versions of their classic repertoire circa 1979, in a compact, quartet setting.
Known for mixing complex polyrhythms, polytonality and non-western scales with grooves and minimalist elements from popular m…
African Skies
2026 Repress. Limited edition 180g vinyl. Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket. Restored artwork + previously unseen family photos. In 1993, when Chicago's Adler Planetarium commissioned Kelan Phil Cohran to score their "African Skies" program, they tapped into a mind that moved effortlessly between galaxies and neighborhoods, between ancestral rhythm and modern invention. Three decades later, Listening Position presents the first official reissue of this cosmic masterpiece - a recording that stands…
Somewhere in the Wind
Somewhere in the Wind is the third record that Loren Connors and I have made together. Of the three, it’s the first that consists exclusively of electric guitar duos and it’s the first that was recorded live. To me it feels very much like a live record; this music happened in crowded rooms in Brooklyn on two dates in 2025 and there’s an urgency to connect with others and a pleasure in doing so that can be heard on both of these tracks. On the first of our duo records (Arborvitae, 2003) I primari…
BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965
On BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965, Don Rendell and Ian Carr capture a historic broadcast moment where British modern jazz finds its new voice. The debut of pianist Michael Garrick within the quintet injects modal colour and compositional bite into a set that pushes club‑band swing toward something more questing and contemporary.
Flirty Ghost
Flirty Ghost is an evocative LP by Rachel Kitchlew, a jazz and contemporary harpist known for pushing the boundaries of her instrument. A blend of jazz, ambient, and experimental sounds, the album was crafted in a spontaneous, deeply personal atmosphere, recorded late at night in the cozy, smoky setting of SFJ headquarters.
Inspired by everything from Henry Mancini to Dorothy Ashby, this LP captures an eerie, playful essence, like a ‘flirty ghost’, while celebrating exploration and self-expressi…
War Poem
On War Poem, Chris Connelly turns antique tape machines into artillery: a single, accidental loop blooms into side‑long, grief‑stricken immersion, where scorched industrial sonics and stark anti‑war outrage fuse into something brutally intense and unnervingly beautiful.
Remscéla
Milkweed’s new album draws from ‘The Táin’ Irish epic, mixing “Slacker Trad” with global sounds. Critically acclaimed, their music merges Appalachian folk, hauntology, and experimentation.
Sonanze
Roberto Cacciapaglia is an Italian composer and pianist who started out in the fertile Milan avant-garde scene of the 1970s, which included Franco Battiato, Giusto Pio, Lino Capra Vaccina, Francesco Messina, among others. After studying at the conservatory, he worked at RAI's Studio of Musical Phonology – an electronic music laboratory similar to NDR/WDR in Germany, GRM/IRCAM in France or BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Sonanze (Sonatas) is Cacciapaglia's debut album, a monumental work that was record…
Screamers Demo Hollywood 1977
"These songs were recorded a few months after the Los Angeles punk scene began. These five statements of intent transcend Punk and project forward into the future: to the analog synth wave of the late '70s and beyond, to the present day, four decades later, when they finally receive an official release. Sourced from the original reel-to-reels, they are a revelation compared to the countless copies that have been circulating by multiple generations of tape-traders. Here, for the first time, is th…
Since There Were Circles
Singer-songwriter Bob Lind will forever be immortalized by his 1965 hit, »Elusive Butterfly«, but his career is so much more interesting than the fading wonder of that one hit. Once a hard-partying buddy of Charles Bukowski, Lind was the inspiration for the character »Dinky Summers«, a down-on-his-luck folk singer in Bukowski's 1978 novel Women. Lind also doubled as a writer, penning a number of novels and plays as well as serving as a long-time staff writer at the lowbrow tabloid Weekly World N…
Fuzzy Logic
German guitarist Olaf Rupp combines elements of traditional flamenco (rasgueados, arpeggios, picados) with the fractured cadences of Derek Bailey, fusing them together with a blast-furnace tone recalling John Lee Hooker's most blown-out extremes. And yet, despite decades of concerts and releases on FMP and Emanem, often with marquee-grabbing collaborators like John Zorn, Peter Brötzmann, Butch Morris, Paul Lovens and Lol Coxhill, Rupp's music is largely unknown outside of European free improvisa…
Path of Enlightenment
Nat Birchall, saxophonist and composer, one of the most authentic voices in contemporary spiritual jazz, presents Path of Enlightenment, a sonic journey through rarely explored scales and modes, from Ethiopia to Byzantium, from ancient Egypt to South Africa.
For this new recording, Birchall deliberately chose the quartet format - tenor sax, piano, double bass and drums - seeking a cohesion and intimacy that allows the music to breathe and tell its story. Joining him are his trusted collaborators…
This Heat
"There's an irony inherent in the term 'postpunk.' Many of the groups that define the genre (think Pere Ubu or Cabaret Voltaire) existed for several years before punk. But these outfits had little hope of finding an audience until punk stirred up an appetite for the extreme, while also spawning a new breed of independent labels that could support challenging music. " This Heat are a prime example. Formed in early 1976 by drummer Charles Hayward, guitarist Charles Bullen and 'non-musician' Garet…
The Habit
On The Habit, Go Hirano gathers decades of home and studio recordings into a single, slow‑glowing arc: spare piano, pianica and small percussion drifting through room tone and outdoor air, turning everyday imperfections into a warmly enchanted, lifelong diary.
Oblivion Seekers
On Oblivion Seekers, Ben Vida turns everyday speech into a glowing maze: neutral‑toned duets, drifting chamber textures and collaged overheard phrases dissolve meaning and sound into one long, entrancing mantra of language in motion.

It was there that they came …
After Its Own Death / Walking in a Spiral
** Grouper’s Liz Harris quietly released this album of primordial soundscapes a few weeks ago under the new Nivhek alias, initially released in a private edition that vanished almost as quickly as it was announced, After its own death / Walking in a spiral towards the house is presented here in a beautiful second edition on Superior Viaduct's imprint W.25TH.** Opaque assemblages of Mellotron, guitar, field recordings, tapes and broken FX pedals by Pacific Northwest artist Liz Harris, created dur…
Morton Feldman: Piano and String Quartet
Bastille Musique presents its thirty-ninth release »Morton Feldman: Piano and String Quartet« featuring Florence Millet (piano) and the Jack Quartet. The album contains a new studio production of Feldman’s late Piano and String Quartet (1985). The recording, produced by the WDR, is complemented by a 48-page bilingual booklet (EN, DE) with texts by Michael Struck-Schloen, a conversation with the performers and the recording producer, autograph pages and two concertina-fold inserts with photos of…
