Long overdue reissue of the first Windy & Carl album and first ever vinyl pressing. Originally self-released by the duo as a cassette in 1994, Portal set the template for their singular sonic explorations to come. “…ethereal soundscapes that will transport the listener to other plains of reality.” —Acid Test! “Carl layers willowy guitar arpeggios, foggy keyboards, and chimes over Windy’s murmured intonations and rippling basswork. Everything sounds fresh and unaffected in the careful hands of th…

On Cooked, Oren Ambarchi folds his all‑star studio jam aesthetic into something gloriously unhinged. Two side‑long epics twist piano ripples, synthetic “voices,” mutant trumpet tones, electric Miles haze and digital pyrotechnics into a foot‑tapping, brain‑scrambling, joyously cuckoo ride that still feels meticulously shaped.

277 pages. 196 x 268 mm. Open NOW JAZZ NOW and you're not just looking at a book - you're entering the minds of three lifelong obsessives. Byron Coley (music writer and critic), Mats Gustafsson (saxophonist, The Thing, Fire!), and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth founder, solo artist) have spent decades accumulating, discussing, debating, and above all listening to free jazz and free improvisation. This book is the result of that shared mania. What they've created isn't a conventional history or a ra…

On KKKAAARRREEENNNIIINNNAAA, Charlemagne Palestine, Oren Ambarchi and Daniel O’Sullivan turn a 1997 “magic song” for a beloved dog’s spirit into a towering trio ritual. Organ drones, phase‑drifting cassette voices, Leslie‑swirled guitar and viola blooms coil around Palestine’s keening live chant, forming a single, dense, ecstatic invocation that feels like a séance conducted inside a vibrating cathedral.

New Zealand sound artist Rachel Shearer listens to the Earth through Māori and Western practice: field recordings, electronics and voice on her first full album, a deluxe 45 RPM gatefold from Thin Wrist.
