A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 & 2
Visionaries in Mexico have sought ways to look beyond the stars for millennia. Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the…
Atrium
Tip! After two decades in the experimental music scenes of New York and Western Massachusetts, Wednesday Knudsen might be known equally as a sought-after improv collaborator and the vocalist and guitarist for the beloved long-running psych band Pigeons, as a member of the New England folk rock ensemble Stella Kola, or the psych kraut supergroup Weeping Bong Band. Atrium, is Knudsen’s fifth solo album, marking her rich recording history with a stunning masterwork. Channeling the “atmosphere of pr…

Soundtrack From First Violin Film
Lucky restock, few copies available. When speaking of most artists, critical value is generally gauged by evaluating contributions to existing fields. Bruce Nauman is different. His influence is singular. The change his ideas provoked, unequaled. Since the mid 1960’s, he has laid the groundwork – in thought, context, practice, and materiality, for nearly every fine-artist that has followed in his wake. He is the towering pillar of conceptual thinking. Even those who do not directly draw on the g…
Into The Cosmic Forest
*300 copies limited edition* Stone Music returns with Into the Cosmic Forest, a deep and patient journey into open-air improvisation. The group was founded in 2022 by Tokio Hasegawa, a core member of the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers, and brings together a wide circle of musicians from Japan’s ambient and experimental scenes. While the name is new, the spirit continues. Stone Music extends the free-form, site-responsive approach that defined Taj Mahal Travellers — music shaped by environment, d…
Burning Song
Kali Malone's first solo album since All Life Long, recorded over two nights on the Bach Organ of Leipzig's Thomaskirche with Lucy Railton and Stephen O'Malley. Seven pieces that abandon canon form for a slower, more intuitive unfolding of chords, steps and bridging tones.
Decision In Paradise
Absolute killer session recorded at Vanguard Studios, New York, September 24 and 28 in 1984, with an intense line-up of some of our all-time-fav players of free music, including of tenor-saxophonist Frank Lowe, trumpeter Don Cherry, trombonnist Grachan Moncur III, pianist Geri Allen, bassist Charnette Moffett, and drummer Charles Moffett, ensures that this music is worth going for. Phrasing is super articulated and the whole vibe is just contagious. Outstanding interaction. The tandem communicat…
Bjerge, Strand
Recorded over two December days in Copenhagen and shelved for nearly three years, Bjerge, Strand gathers Jakob Bro with Charles Lloyd, Larry Grenadier and Jorge Rossy, and arrives on Loveland Music as a limited double vinyl in gatefold sleeve with artwork by the painter Tal R.
Bro invited Lloyd to The Village Recording in Vanløse in December 2023, bringing along the rhythm section he had formed in 2019 with Grenadier and Rossy, the two players who spent two decades refining the piano trio alongs…
Basilikum
Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…
All At Once At Any Time
David Moss, John King and Otomo Yoshihide on the Victoriaville stage on 20 May 1994: voice, drums and electronics against electric guitars, turntables and sampler, in a fast, cut-up set between song fragments, noise and improvisation.
L'Oasis
Eugene Chadbourne and René Lussier, live in Paris and at Victoriaville in May 2002: acoustic and electric guitars, banjo and voice in a twisted hoedown of free improvisation, bluegrass and country blues.
Dream House 78'17"
Two sides recorded in 1973. On one, Young and Zazeela sing over a sine wave drone with Jon Hassell on trumpet and Garrett List on trombone. On the other, three sine waves alone, tuned on oscillators built for the purpose by Robert Adler. The sleeve tells you to turn the treble off.
MG and The Echoes of Swing
The world knows Muriel Grossmann as a bandleader, saxophonist, and composer of highly individual and original music. Her work has become closely associated with a modern revival of spiritual jazz, reflected in albums such as Golden Rule, Universal Code, and Quiet Earth, and in performances across Europe with herlong-standing quartet.
That is one side of the story. In Ibiza, where Grossmann has lived and worked for over two decades, another side of the artist reveals itself. Locals know her not o…
Reason
Corbett vs. Dempsey is thrilled to announce the release of ‘Reason’, the second album from international free music quartet The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.
Le Tour du Bloc
René Lussier conducts Vancouver's NOW Orchestra, recorded in February 1995: guitar and daxophone with Paul Plimley, Peggy Lee, Dylan van der Schyff and a full reed and brass section, in a suite of quick-changing vignettes.
From Such a Blue Sky
The astounding second outing from the duo of Midori Takada & Jakob Bro, arriving on Copenhagen's Loveland Records just under a year after 'Until I Met You'. Across two stunning sides, subtle abstraction amongst sprawling ambiences, "Fourth-World" sensibilities, and pulsing minimalism. Limited LP.
A Sucked Orange
*100 copies limited edition* Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP pic…
