Faint Light Blackens
*200 copies limited edition* On his fourth solo album, and debut work for the Psychic Liberation imprint, Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø presents Faint Light Blackens, a negotiation between the atomized instrumentation of the solo trombone is pushed towards a “full range wall of sound” over the concise sprawl of seven distinct acts on two sides of a vinyl record. The seven acts that make up the album were developed specifically for recording within Emanuel Vigeland’s “Tomba Emmanuelle”. The fresco with…
Tales from the Source
Discrepant presents the LP edition of Tales from the Source, the original film soundtrack by Bear Bones, Lay Low and Laszlo Umbreit. Originally composed for Belgian-Congolese artist Léonard Pongo’s 2024 film of the same name, this release reworks the film's audio into a continuous, fluid listening experience.
The album is built on a direct contrast between heavy electronic manipulation and raw environmental audio. Laszlo Umbreit captured the foundation of the record through field recordings and …
Thunder
Stephan Micus is a unique musician and composer. He collects and studies instruments from all around the world and creates his own musical journeys with them. This is his 25th solo album for ECM and its sound is dominated by the four-metre long Tibetan dung chen trumpet, an instrument he has recently learned and is using for the first time. It was the thunderous sound of this instrument that led to the album’s name and its nine tracks celebrating deities around the world. “I dedicate this music …
Issue 87 (Magazine)
Audion 87 arrives like a lovingly overstuffed mixtape passed between devotees, its 44 A4 pages packed with rabbit holes for anyone who still hears “progressive” as a verb, not a museum tag. At its core sit two major anchor features. The first is a deep excavation of choice German label classics, taking April and Schneeball as portals into a republic of small imprints, marginal bands and radical self‑organisation. Rather than recycling the usual Krautrock canon, the piece digs into catalogue corn…
Rock För Kropp Och Själ
Expanded Content: Includes a Bonus LP of rare live material from Denmark and Gothenburg. "Rock för kropp och själ" stands as the final, definitve statement from Träd, Gräs och Stenar during their original tenure with the legendary Silence label. By 1972, the band had reached a breaking point. After five years of relentless touring - defined by marathon three-to-four-hour performances delivered four or five nights a week - the collective was physically and creatively spent. The weight of expectat…
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…
Ghost and More Ghosts
Kit darlings Love Is Yes (Dax Niesten and Sander van der Toorn) return with a particle scattering follow-up to their celebrated, self-titled debut. While the Dutch duo's serenely motorik guitar, levitational synths and airy vocals are still present, 'Ghost and More Ghosts' sees the pair take a sideways step into the nether realm - tugging gamelan metallophones, organs and vocoders with them through the fermented portal as they disintegrate completely. A melancholy magic trick occurs when these a…
Once Around The Room (A Tribute To Paul Motian)
On Once Around The Room ECM recording artists and key jazz musicians from several generations unite in a small ensemble to celebrate the musical legacy of drum icon Paul Motian in a big way. Joe Lovano and Jakob Bro lead a party of seven through fiery originals that recall the idioms and idiosyncrasies which Motian brought to light over six influential decades behind the drums. Lovano and Motian had been intimate colleagues for many years with their most notable collaboration being the groundbre…
at Studio Pelto
Over the past decade Helsinki has quietly become one of Europe's busiest cities for young jazz players, and few labels have done more to document that activity than Jazzaggression. Uusi Jazzi Klubi - the loose collective that bills itself as the city's underground jazz club - return with their second album, recorded across two days in the spring of 2024 at the label's own Pelto Studio. Nothing here was written in advance. Drummer Aleksi Tanhuala gathered the players, set the tape rolling, and le…
La Manzana Mágica
One of 12k’s most endearing artists is back with a new album. From Argentina, Federico Durand presents La Manzana Mágica, an album in signature Federico style inspired by his collection of Cinderlla stamps, in a way only Federico could do. Named after the folk-tale heroine, Cinderellas, throughout the last century, were considered inferior to official postage stamps, but became a sought-after collector’s item. There are some pieces whose origin, circulation context, or illustrator’s name are unk…
Terreng
Long-form duo work between Balázs Pándi (percussion) and Jon Wesseltoft (electronics), shaped as an open landscape of contrasts articulating space in both time and depth. The two players alternately trade and merge their instrumental identities, generating zones of improvised openness alongside densely constructed electroacoustic narrative. The vocabulary moves between quiet, ritually framed rhythmic space and saturated information, held as deliberate counterweights.
Tatemono
*150 copies limited edition* Tomoyoshi Date and Stijn Hüwels met for the first time in 2015 in Tokyo, being introduced to each other by Chihei Hatakeyama. That same evening, they recorded what would later become Hochu-Ekki-Tou, their first album, released on Home Normal in 2019, followed by 遠き火、遠き雲 (A Distant Fire, A Distant Cloud) in 2021 on Laaps. Tomoyoshi Date creates acoustic and organic sounds with a little touch of digital processing. He began to create electronic music in 1998. In 2003, …
Ensamseglaren
Huge Tip! Small repress. "I stood on top of the mountain and looked out over the landscape. It was so beautiful that my chest hurt. The light vibrated, time stood still, and the contours dissolved for a moment. Everything had changed; I felt it then. I took their little hands so as not to lose contact with the ground. Then we ran down the mountain, scraping our knees. Still, we didn't make it. You had already put away all the nautical charts, loosened the moorings and steered out among the skerr…
Mystic Suite
Let us take you back. Waaay back. According to early Greek mythology, the three powerful sons of the god Kronos divided up the cosmos after overthrowing their father: Poseidon ruled the sea, Zeus commanded the heavens, and Hades reigned over the underworld. Conversely, this latest offering from the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble completes the group's corresponding trilogy - Oceanic Suite (2016), Celestial Suite (2023), and now Mystic Suite (2026). As you might expect, this Mystic Suite, inspired by Hade…

This first ever reissue of poet and social/political activist Amiri Baraka’s electric live 1982 beat poetry reading is newly remastered and includes a zine-style poetry insert and liner notes by David Murray!

John Scofield
John Scofield’s first guitar-solo-recording ever gives a résumé of all the influences and idioms he has cultivated over his career in performances on guitar, accompanied by his own rhythmic pulse and chordal backing using a loop machine. Besides jazz, John is known to have always also had a soft spot for the rock and roll and country music he grew up with, revealed here in unencumbered renditions of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” and Hank Williams’ “You Win Again”. Between elegant and personal re…
Conspiracy
A new ECM studio album and a programme of new music from Terje Rypdal is cause for celebration. On Conspiracy the great Norwegian guitarist seems to reconnect with the wild inspiration that fuelled such early masterpieces as Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away, Odyssey and Waves, exploring the sonic potential of the electric guitar with both a rock improviser’s love of raw energy and a composer’s feeling for space and texture. Keyboardist Ståle Storløkken, who contributed to Terje’s Vossabrygg and Cr…
Divine Comédie
Last copies...Super tip! Divine Comédie stands as a magnum opus crafted by two of the foremost composers of their era, boasting a musical ambition akin to Dante’s poem and its visual interpretation by Sandro Botticelli or Gustave Doré. For a long time, this triptych was presented as a two-sided work in which Bernard Parmegiani’s Hell and François Bayle’s Purgatory responded to and extended each other, guided by Michel Hermon’s voice through the listener’s imagination. Because Paradise, a mixed p…

*300 copies limited edition* "A sprawling, meditative journey into inner and outer space, the new double album from Ivan The Tolerable sees Oli Heffernan retreat fully into the solo realm—crafting an expansive sonic world that feels both intimate and cosmic in scope. Recorded entirely alone and released via Riot Season, this latest work drifts away from structured forms and toward something more fluid, exploratory, and transcendent.Drawing on the devotional atmospheres of early ambient pioneers …
