Like on the early solo Haino album that shares the group’s name (released on P.S.F. in 1993), the instrumentation swims in reverb (the use of which Akiyama recalls as ‘a kind of point of the band’), often obscuring the instrumental sources. On the short opening piece, a distant reed instrument arcs long buzzing melodies over a bed of cymbals and gongs, like a psychedelic take on Tibetan music. The epic second part, occupying almost 50 minutes, begins as a splayed, near-formless cloud of electric…
Limited vinyl reissue of the 1978 direct-to-disc classic. Isao Suzuki on piccolo bass with Ron Carter, Hank Jones, Roy Haynes, and strings arranged by Masahiko Satoh. A summit of Japanese and American jazz from Tokyo's golden age of audiophile recording, with obi and liner notes.
Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition - bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared.Given the pair’s respective roots - and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground - one might expect “a brutal blast of acid swirl…
It was legendary record producer Alan Lorber that came up with the concept of "The Bosstown Sound" -- "The Sound Heard 'Round The World" to market and promote the best and brightest of the Bean Town sixties psychedelic scene. (Boston's key groups at the time included Orpheus, Beacon Street Union, Ultimate Spinach, Chamaeleon Church and others). The Ultimate Spinach, arguably the finest of them all, produced magnificent examples of surreal psychedelic record-making, now prized by crate-diggers an…
Formed in 1967 in Detroit, the band Mystic Siva consisted of four teenagers - none older than fifteen - who released a single self-titled album, recorded in a single day in 1970 at the band's self-managed V.O. Studios. The lineup consisted of Dave Mascarin on drums, lead vocals, the original composer, and creator of the album cover; Al Tozzi on guitar, who co-wrote five of the eleven tracks with Mascarin; Marc Heckert on B-3, organ, and vocals; Art Thienel on bass and vocals.
On Die Dritte Ebene, Emilio Gordoa and Sven‑Åke Johansson let vibraphone, drums and accordion run in seemingly parallel lines until a mysterious “third layer” appears - a ghost‑music of overtones, pulse and texture that neither player could summon alone.
Zos Kia’s music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia and the early years of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth (TOPY) / Psychic TV...
John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John …
Without premeditation nor haste, Omertà re-emerges with its third album, Âmes Bleues (Blue Souls), gracefully deepening its own unique furrow, between lyrically rich songs and singular harmonic explorations. After ambling through the Corsican air currents and immersing itself in smoke, Omertà continues to unfold its geographical and sensory music, seemingly finding its reach in the suspension inherent in the subtle tension it produces.
The group expands its sonic palette with soothing and psyche…

*250 copies limited edition* The latest album from one of our absolute favorite current artists - Warlock Corpse. Hailing from the wastelands of central Asia, Труп Колдуна has been churning out high quality raw dungeon keller black metal synth for a few years now, but "Return of Dark Sorcery" feels like he has really hit his stride and is firing on all cylinders. Imagine perhaps taking the raw black metal sensibilities of Old Nick, the melodies of Quest Master, and the grit of Putrid Marsh and t…
2026 Stock. Alan Vega, born Alan Bermowitz in Brooklyn, had spent the 1970s as one half of Suicide, the New York duo whose drum-machine menace unsettled audiences a decade before anyone thought to call it synth-punk. By the mid-1980s he had set out, against every expectation, to chase the mainstream: Saturn Strip (1983) took him to Elektra under the wing of Ric Ocasek of The Cars, a long-standing Suicide champion, and Just A Million Dreams followed in 1985, again produced by Ocasek with Chris Lo…
An unceremonious release of some old songs strewn across the past few years, played and recorded into a lounge room in Annandale, Gadigal land. Marking a time of playing around lots with jasper (when time was easier to wrangle) and hopefully making room for new songs to come visit! we are singing forever. Sounds from budapest train, typewriter, guitars, an old fan favourite, kata, jasper, laughter.
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…
In ‘Of No Fixed Abode,’ Saint Abdullah and Eomac extend their experimentation with genre dissolution to press upon the tensions that exist between culture, place, and migration. This fourth collaborative LP addresses the inherent fluidity of cultural memory, accepting our inability to remain fixed in the past, and explores how best to carry its spirit forward into an ambiguous future. Through extensive research into 50 years of Persian pop, they meticulously reinterpret the legacies of artists l…
*300 copies limited edition* New from Ulla’s 28912 label comes a gorgeous bouquet of lowercase wonders from Justin Cantrell aka J and the Woolen Stars, part of Picnic, and the brains behind the excellent Daisart and se Dessaisir Publishing labels.
»Puff« is a glistening pool of lush refractions and music-box lullabies, featuring an array of acoustic instruments and fragile foley sounds that are gently peeled away until all we’re left with are the faded outlines of half-remembered songs.
A sound …
Vanessa Rossetto returns to ErstSolo with The Professional, a double CD that takes the figure of the amateur as both formal occasion and conceptual question. The album grew out of Rossetto's 2025 European tour and, in particular, a performance at the Jauna Muzika festival in Vilnius, whose edition was themed around amateur practice. For the occasion Rossetto assembled recordings of people singing their favourite songs, prepared a backing track, and set up microphones so that audience members cou…
»Kashmiri Queens« – previously released as a limited CD – presents a more accessible side of Muslimgauze, featuring a faster tempo and fewer sonic overtones than his previous endeavors. The music's core is rooted in drone and raga samples complemented by a rich array of ethnic percussions. This 12inch stands out for its authenticity, allowing the sounds of tablas, sitars, and various ethnic wind instruments to flourish openly without being interrupted. There's a notable departure from the usual …
*100 copies limited edition* Sculptural, dreamlike and intimately detailed, Precious Moments is the fourth album by singer and composer Oliver Mann - this time in collaboration with acclaimed Bologna electro-acoustic composer and guitarist Stefano Pilia. A tender remembrance across nine short tracks exploring the affinity and thrills of friendship in a time when we all have internalised distance, the album features guests Mick Turner (Dirty Three / Mess Esque / Cat Power) and a scene stealing ca…

The group was formed in 1981 in Osaka, Japan, as the solo project of Mikawa, a member of the noise improv group Hijokaidan. Mikawa, a bank empl…
Wrens creates music that is modern and without immediate comparison. This is revolutionary art, both musically and lyrically. Had Miles Davis lived to be 100, continuing on his path of repeatedly changing the direction of jazz, it would be easy to imagine that by 2026 it could have sounded like Wrens, not only because of the heavily affected and brilliant trumpet playing, but because it feels so contradictory to the institutions that breed much of this music today. When asked about the meaning b…
