Music to Freak your Friends and Break your Lease
2026 stock. It is genuinely difficult to place Rod McKuen anywhere in the twentieth century. He read alongside Kerouac and Ginsberg at the Jazz Cellar in San Francisco in the early 1950s, sang with Lionel Hampton's band, worked as a contract player at Universal, and cut the beat-poetry record Beatsville for HiFi Records in 1959. The early 1960s took him to France, where his encounter with Jacques Brel produced the English versions of Ne me quitte pas and Le Moribond that entered the language as …

M/B/Too/4/T/&/M
Long before Spotify algorithmically ruined discovery, Joshua Burkett was wandering the New England underground with nothing but a guitar and enough patience to make tar smells feel like déjà vu.

Storage
First ever vinyl re-issue of this classic Merzbow album. The first two track were originally published on LP on the ZSF label in 1988. Masami Akita creates in Storage a very experimental and atmospheric album with a masterful use of scraping sounds and metal percussions but also with a very effective use of silence. A strongly hypnotic and creepy sounding early analog Merzbow album. The third track was published as an extra track for the CD reissue issued in the Merzbox is re-issued here for …

Sottana & Calze
On this split cassette, Sottana & Calze’s The Gloria and The Rita collide in a sharply focused post‑industrial ritual. Trifurcated contact mics, woolen stockings and monophonic chants meet the Canadian project’s obsessive “canes” study, pressed onto dual‑color shells as a rare Canadian/Italo‑Norwegian collaboration built for XXI Congresso Post Industriale.
Thresholds
On Thresholds, Andrew Anderson assembles a disquieting tapestry of foley‑like detail, field recordings and dream logic, a vinyl debut where precise sound art slips into phantasmagoria, hovering at the edge of memory, image and pure atmosphere.
The Final Painting
Time stands stunningly still on The Final Painting, the dreamy, elegiac final album from legendary underground singer-songwriter/poet/painter Ed Askew.

The Will Of Tongues
The most ambitious work of Sarah Davachi's career to date. Spanning more than two hours of music across three LPs, The Will of Tongues arrives on the composer's own Late Music imprint as a vast, deeply considered statement - a meditation on the act of listening itself, and on the mental spaces that sound, given duration and reduction, continually opens.
Over the last decade, Davachi has emerged as one of the most singular voices working at the intersection of minimalism, early music, and electro…
Leavings
*200 copies limited edition* Following the acclaimed previous album "Transcend", which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure Techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. "Leavings" marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognisable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conv…

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).

Model Express
Cindy Lee, the performance and songwriting vehicle of Canadian artist Patrick Flegel (who fronted influential indie group Women earlier), previously stunned listeners with Act Of Tenderness, a heart-wrenching statement informed by the noirish core of celebrity, and has continued to enchant with every album, including the startling What's Tonight To Eternity released earlier this year.
Model Express originally appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes. The arch, filmic drama of Ci…
