Monkey's Birthday
The collaboration between Anthony Moore and filmmaker David Larcher began in the late 60s, at the start of both their respective careers and lasted many years. Following on from last years release of the soundtrack to Mare’s Tail (the first collaboration with Larcher), this year sees the release of the soundtrack to his 2nd film, Monkey’s Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this 6 hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo …
CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories
Cults have always had their own soundtracks: songs written to win over, to bind, to manipulate, repeated until they settle beneath thought, becoming core belief and identity. In the disquieting afterlife of such music, CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories begins. The new album from Zürich-based experimental electronic duo Perverts in White Shirts (Nathalie Dreier and Dave Phillips) is a two-hour cringe-pop journey of disarming, catchy tunes. A post-fringe hauntology for those sha…
Venus
*250 copies limited edition* Venus is a new LP by Swedish group Organ of Corti and marks their fifth release on Dead Mind Records. For the occasion, Chinese-American vocalist and musician Audrey Chen enters the magnetic world of Mattias Gustafsson, Dan Johansson and Joachim Nordwall. While tape turns and circuits hum, these six pieces slowly unfold. Familiar fragments are repeated until they lose their origin. Synthesizer tones drift through layers of magnetic residue, while Chen's voice appears…
Plays For Trane Vol. 2
Follow up to 2020's Plays For Trane, this is Plays For Trane Vol. 2. The band dives further into John Coltrane's catalog, turning it inside out, bending it, holding it with care.

Issue 140 (Magazine + CD)
The new issue of Electronic Sound dives into the world of tape music – from Pierre Schaeffer and Delia Derbyshire to today's sharpest loopers – and comes bundled with an exclusive Steve Reich CD, Tape Pieces, pairing his mid-'60s phasing landmarks Come Out and It's Gonna Rain across some 30 minutes.
Phren
On Phren, Marta Salogni and Stefano Pilia build a shared electro‑acoustic architecture where guitar, tape machines and field recordings circulate like memory in motion. Signals move through modular processes, echoes and Revox loops until origin and reflection blur, turning six slow‑unfolding pieces into a living study of sound, time and feeling.
Live at Pageant : Soloveev
Body/Head's Bill Nace on taishogoto and Purling Hiss' Mike Polizze on guitar in their first duo set, caught on a phone at Philadelphia's Pageant Soloveev in May 2025: twenty-three minutes of amplified free string playing on a one-sided LP.
Pathless Path
By the end of the 1960s, Charles Lloyd was one of the biggest names in jazz. His quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette reached far beyond the usual jazz audience, while Forest Flower became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. In 1970, at the height of his career, Lloyd disbanded the quartet and withdrew to Big Sur. He continued to make records from time to time, but largely disappeared from the jazz scene while following a more inward and spiritual pa…
Microphone
At long last, after decades out of print, the Milan based imprint, Dialogo, dives into the legendary catalog of Cramps, bringing forth the first ever vinyl reissue of David Tudor’s legendary LP, "Microphone", part of an ongoing initiative dedicated to bring the imprint’s seminal output back into the light. Still mind-blowing nearly half a century after it was first released, now complete with a new English translation of the album’s original liner notes, this is just about as exciting as reissue…
Nothing Space Music
Maya Ongaku has always been searching for what exists just beyond the edge of perception. Since forming in the seaside towns surrounding Enoshima, the trio has followed a path guided less by intention than intuition, allowing songs, ideas, and experiences to emerge through a process they describe as 自然発生 (shizen hassei), spontaneous occurrence. Nothing Space Music is the deepest expression of that philosophy to date.
Written in the aftermath of several years of international touring, the album e…

Playing Piano for Dad
Recorded in one comfortably-seated take at Studio Ferber, Paris, France in 2015 - h hunt’s ‘playing piano for dad’ was initially conceived as a Christmas gift to the composer’s father. Intimately recorded, ‘playing piano for dad’ is a heartbreakingly gorgeous & sincere work of eleven vignettes which capture even the most nuanced sounds of the recording session - the composer’s breath, the shifting sounds of the piano pedals, the ambient noise and conversation within the studio. With minimalist t…
