Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo
**Edition of 250** Elevator Bath's ongoing series of picture disc LPs (each record being adorned with full-color artwork by the recording artist) continues with Tom Recchion's lovely 'Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo.' Originally slated for release nearly ten years ago, this pair of humble field recordings is now finally available. 'Oaxaca Dawn' and 'Bamboo' are two raw, unadulterated, and unpretentious snapshots of specific moments in time and space: the early morning cracking of dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico and…
Vinti 'e Maju
The protagonists of this album embrace the complexity, diversity, and innovative power of a musical tradition that, in this case, seeks dialogue with other languages, opening itself up to innovative music. On one side, we find the prepared Sardinian guitar, an alien instrument that has fascinated music critics from Europe and overseas; on the other, the guttural singing of the Tenore Murales, an expression of one of the most ancient polyvocalities in the Mediterranean, with similarities to Tuva …
At The Emerald Pool
Netherlands-based artists Tomo Katsurada (Ex-Kikagaku Moyo / Future Days Radio) and Jonny Nash (Melody As Truth) combine forces for an exploration into the sonic potential of the guitar duo, rooted in their experiences performing together over the last 12 months. Friends and admirers of each other’s work for a decade, their musical collaboration began in 2024 with Katsurada asking Nash to contribute guitar to his debut EP ‘Dream Of The Egg’. Sensing the need to explore this further, they spent t…
Almost Waking
"Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highl…
The Dream Island of Birds
Mike Cooper returns to Discrepant with »The Dream Island of Birds«. Neither documentary nor abstraction, »The Dream Island of Birds« sits between field recording, memory, and invention — an island heard through time and circuitry.
In the early 1990s, Cooper met illustrator and writer Charles van Sandwyk while walking on a small island in Fiji. Van Sandwyk was living there quietly, working from a modest bamboo house near the beach. Years later, Cooper learned that following a serious car accident…
Schedars
First worldwide vinyl edition of Schedars's self-titled debut, originally self-released in 2023. A five-piece Tokyo no-wave / post-punk band that brings the lineage of Friction and Chance Operation into the present tense - a hyperactive blend of sharp, abrasive guitars, propulsive rhythms and unflinching vocal delivery.
A Distracted God
Clear Vinyl. For more than six decades, Beatriz Ferreyra has been building worlds out of sound. Born in Córdoba in 1937 and based in France since the early 1960s, the Argentine composer entered the GRM at the invitation of Pierre Schaeffer in 1963, contributing alongside him to the foundational texts and recordings that would define an entire discipline of listening, among them the Solfège de l'Objet Sonore. From 1970 onward she has worked independently, composing in absolute fidelity to her own…
Voyeur Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in July 1980 and issued shortly thereafter on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes with the catalogue number YHR 005, Voyeur Tape was the first MB cassette to cross the Channel into the British industrial underground, preceding by a matter of months its companion Cold Tape, which would follow on the same imprint as YHR 006 before year's end. Together the pair formed Maurizio Bianchi's decisive entry into the small mail-order network through which European industrial music was circulating …
Days As Echoes
Bomb! Estonian multi-instrumentalist Misha Panfilov returns with Days As Echoes, a sophomore release that channels the expansive spirit of Krautrock through the lens of contemporary ambient and spiritual jazz. Part of Panfilov's ever-expanding musical universe, the Misha Panfilov Sound Combo delivers six compositions that function as both individual meditations and a cohesive sonic narrative about hope, journey, and human connection. Drawing from an impossibly diverse palette that includes Ethio…
Inferno
Tip! »Inferno« retains its characteristic melodies and atmospheres, drawing on the esoteric influences of »Societas X Tape« (the BoC 2019 NTS mix for Warp Records’ 30th anniversary) as well as the dark atmosphere of »Tomorrow’s Harvest«, which is further intensified by the increased use of spoken-word recordings. The first BoC album in thirteen years has a running time of seventy minutes.
Honnomajika~Naharu × Otomo Yoshihide
This is the second album by the trio "Honnomajika Naharu", consisting of Lapis (guitar & vocals), Hiroshi Higo (bass & vocals), and Masataka Fujikake (drums). This is their first release in about a year since their last album (Honnomajika - Naharu X Keiji Haino: FDR-1052), and is a live album with Otomo Yoshihide (guitar & vocals) as a guest. It is another miraculous work, completely different in type from the previous album, as if the multiple layers of expression have been crystallized into on…
Wa Wave: New Wave Sounds from the Land of the Rising Sun vol. 1
On Wa Wave: New Wave Sounds from the Land of the Rising Sun vol. 1, various Japanese artists are rescued from flexi‑disc oblivion, weaving a sharp, off‑kilter panorama of New Wave, No Wave and skeletal electronics from the most radical corners of Japan’s underground.
I.A.V.C. Tapes
Limited edition of 33 copies in black cardboard boxset. 1980. Working alone from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Maurizio Bianchi closed the chapter of his earlier Sacher-Pelz project and inaugurated, almost overnight, the body of work that would place him at the heart of European industrial music. Across roughly twelve months he produced an extraordinary run of…
Treatise by Cornelius Cardew
*2026 stock* For this collection of live performances, we approached Treatise not just as a score, but as a piece of visual art—an abstract landscape that drew us in with its raw graphic beauty. We felt compelled to translate it into sound using our instruments, while also engaging with the work on its own terms. In researching Cardew’s notes and his Treatise Handbook, it became clear that he didn’t intend the piece to be an open-ended free-for-all. Rather, he encouraged performers to develop a …
Lung Oysters
Super Limited edition. Housed in heavy gauge single sleeve with insert on transparent aqua marine vinyl. The legendary Nurse With Wound, helmed by the visionary Steven Stapleton, returns with Living Oysters, a mesmerizing collaboration with Irish experimental musician Diarmuid Mac Diarmada. This limited edition vinyl release presents a heady freerange mix of krautrock, experimental and toe tapping psychedelia, leaning towards a slightly more rock orientated sound that pushes the project into exc…
Affenstunde
A foundational record. The opening chapter of one of the most singular spiritual journeys in European music. Esoteric returns Affenstunde, the 1970 debut of Popol Vuh, to vinyl on July 31st, 2026, freshly cut at AIR Studios in London, with the original cover artwork restored and an accompanying poster. When Florian Fricke brought a Moog III modular synthesiser into a Munich studio in 1970, alongside percussionist Holger Trülzsch and engineer Frank Fiedler, he was working with one of only a handf…
A Concrete Pasture
Follow-up to Haarlemmerhout, pushing Polack's hyper-local Haarlem practice out into the wider world. Four long pieces are built from material gathered across continents - the temple of the reclining Buddha (Wat Pho, Bangkok), Schiermonnikoog in the Dutch Wadden, Hong Kong traffic lights, Gamelan percussion - then routed through electronic processing, nostalgic power chords, electroacoustic crescendo writing, and a final tenor saxophone gesture reminiscent of Albert Ayler's raw expressivity.
Let's Go To Hell: Scattered Memories of the Butthole Surfers (Book)
The Butthole Surfers lived like nomads, built their legend on never-ending tours and shows resembling hedonistic acid tests. Author James Burns returns with new interviews and shocking revelations in this explosive 10th anniversary edition of Let's Go to Hell — the first no-holds-barred chronicle of the band's rise, fall, and enduring infamy. 315 pages.
Kyoto 1970
Edition of 400. Wired was an ephemeral improvisational music project formed by Michael Ranta, Karl-Heinz Böttner, and Mike Lewis. On 28 April 1970, the trio recorded an extended studio session of approximately 140 minutes, in collaboration with Conny Plank, who engineered and mixed the recording in real time, incorporating elements of live electronics. This session was subsequently edited to album length and released in 1974 as part of the Free Improvisation 3LP box set issued by Deutsche Grammo…
