Heat
With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …

Vini Reilly
Tip! The Durutti Column are proud to revisit “Vini Reilly”, a release originally issued in 1989—a heartfelt homage to the legendary sound and creative imagination of Vini Reilly. The record distills atmosphere, elegance, and emotional clarity into music that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Across “Vini Reilly,” the album captures the essence of Vini’s distinctive musical language: shimmering guitar textures, luminous melodic shapes, and a sense of space that invites the listener to slow…
Fading Pictures
*2026 stockn* Last time, RLW (Ralf Wehowsky—active years ago on P16.D4 and since then releasing a largely uncategorizable brand of noise music across numerous publications) thrilled us on these pages with his album Satanic Inventions. Now, again on Stephen Meixner’s label Black Rose Recordings, the similarly conceptually dense album Fading Pictures is released.
In the liner notes, Wehowsky describes the close connection between electroacoustics and Cinéma L’Oreille. He understands electroacousti…
Down By Law
*2026 repress* The soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's 1986 film Down By Law is composed and performed by John Lurie, who also plays the pimp Jack in the movie. His world-weary avant-jazz pieces like "Please Come to My House," "What Do You Know About Music, You're Not a Lawyer," "Strangers in the Day," and "Fork in the Road" convey the film's seedy but humorous crime story.

A limited magazine and vinyl bundle, gone once it's gone.
SOS "In A Sentimental Mood"
Born in 1945 near Hiroshima, eighty years old in a year that marks eighty years since the war, Akira Sakata hands this one over almost humbly, which is not a word you often reach for with him. In a Sentimental Mood is the first record by his new trio Akira Sakata SOS, the alto and clarinet veteran flanked by pianist Nana Omori and his own son on drums, Manabu Sakata. They open with the Duke Ellington ballad you think you know, all velvet and nostalgia, and then Omori climbs onto the tips of her …
And the birds sang...
On And the birds sang…, Larry Stabbins revisits two of his deepest musical friendships, paring everything down to duets with Keith Tippett and Louis Moholo‑Moholo, where tenderness, ferocity and crooked song coexist in fiercely alive, small‑room intensity.
Studio Recording
The new release by Ochibonoame captures the trio’s raw and searching approach. With Makoto Kawashima on alto saxophone, Louis Inage on bass, and Naoto Yamagishi on drums and percussion, the group navigates the volatile terrain of silence and eruptive energy. Their music unfolds as an intuitive dialogue, where fragility and abrasive sonic bursts collide in real time. The result is a deeply visceral document of spontaneous creation, rooted in the underground spirit of Japan’s improvised music scen…

Songs From The B. F. White Sacred Harp

In 1971, Williams formally organized The Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers to preserve the music full-time. This unified troupe began touring nationally and leading workshops, which ultimately launched them onto stages at the Smithsonian and Newport folk festivals up until Williams' passing in 1995 when the g…

Celestial Ocean
*2026 repress* 1973s brilliant Celestial Ocean, by the legendary Swiss krautrock band Brainticket, is a concept album that details an ancient pharoahs journey into the afterlife (substitute the word "journey" for "trip" and youll get what they were driving at). However, Brainticket were not mere products of their time, they explored some truly compelling musical territory and produced a superlative blanket of sound-featuring a pioneering mix of early synthesizers, flute, zither, sitar, and male …

Gaf & The Love Supreme Arkestra work outside conventional studio frameworks. Their music emerges from extended improvisation sessions that unfold sporadically, sometimes over several days. Built around drums, guitar, bass, modular synthesis and s…
