Notes from the nave
*100 copies limited edition* Notes from the nave is the debut album by 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦. - Michiel Dondeyne’s alter ego. It’s a musical correspondence from the refuge of an introvert: the ‘nave’ - or the middle part - of a church in Antwerp, Belgium. It’s there, where he established the improvisations on piano that sprouted this album. Loose ideas became the blueprint of extended collages, wherein piano, subtle loops and samples conflate with the cello of Clémence Clarysse and the tenor saxophone…
Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!
The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The album’s twelve pieces are layered and interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex––moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. An electrifying leap forward for the band’s shared language, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aims to liberate the listener into a spiritual, ecstatic, and…

Necessary vinyl edition of Death is Not Final’s I’m On My Journey Home, Sacred Harp Singing, 1928-1934, a collection of recordings of Sacred Harp singing (a traditional sacred choral music with origins in the American South) taken from…
Secrets Of The Blue Bag
**500 copies** British experimental musician, composer, performer and producer Anthony Moore was a founding member of Slap Happy and has worked with Henry Cow, Kevin Ayers, and Pink Floyd among other great names in the British scene. In 1971 he moved to Hamburg, Germany, and worked in the boiling experimental scene of the city. As a result, two LPs were issued on Polydor Germany in 1971 and 1972, right before forming Slap Happy with old school pal Peter Blegvad and Dagmar Krause.Secrets of the B…
Manifestations In The Shadow Of An Uncertain Land
Manifestations in the Shadow of an Uncertain Land unfolds through aleatoric composition and intuitive process, shaped by deeply entangled political and aesthetic lineages. Rooted in lived experiences of bodies and minds navigating the localized and global weight of imperialism, the work also draws from the temporal logic of film and literature, where memory, dread, and anticipation coexist. Working with voice and modular electronics, Lowe treats sound as a sculptural and cinematic force, informe…
Nobody Knows this is Anywhere
*250 copies limited edition* As part of their 20th year celebrations Gnod grace us with the latest output from their ongoing R&D project. Operating as a stripped back two piece the raw energy and sonic power shines through across the two tracks that make up ‘Nobody Knows this is Anywhere’. ‘Catholic FM’ and ’Sunset 102’ are but a fraction extracted from a mammoth 2 day recording session at Gnod farm back in 2019. Recorded straight to cassette at the time and with minimal editing done at some poi…
Sans Visage
Félicia Atkinson first saw Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face), the 1960 horror film by Georges Franju, when she was a teenager, around the turn of the century. At the time she was frequenting arthouse movie theaters, immersing herself in cinema, and she was encouraged to go by her father. The film made an impact for its iconic imagery and the way Franju draws on the aesthetics of early filmmaking, from its score that relies on stylistic markers typical of the 1940s or 50s to the decision…
The Crystal Suite
On The Crystal Suite, Paul Schütze channels J. G. Ballard’s The Crystal World into slow‑burn electronics and guitar haze, rendering time‑sick landscapes where matter ossifies, light fractures, and contemporary collapse glows with eerie, faceted calm.
Take me, I’m yours
On Take Me, I’m Yours, Alan Abrahams and Jan Jelinek dissolve the border between song and sound design: multi‑layered vocal sketches are stripped of harmony and beat, re‑sculpted into fragile, pulsing landscapes where house‑born emotion drifts through Jelinek’s grainy abstractions.
The Warm Garden
Tip! A pivotal force in the foundations of Noise music in Japan, Fumio Kosakai is half of The Incapacitants, and has recorded with other acts such as Hijokaidan, CCCC, and Club Skull. Originally released on cassette in an edition of fifty copies in 1993, "The Warm Garden" is a pinacle for collectors of 90s noise and the outer realms of Japanese psychadelia. The work steps away from the denshi zatsuon (electronic noise) of his other groups and instead comprises two pieces of minimal electronics, …
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…
Music on Paper by Chance (Score)
A rare printed score on parchment paper, approximately A3 size. Originally folded and sent as an invitation card to an exhibition, this work embodies Suzuki's philosophy of listening, chance, and the spatial dimensions of sound. Akio Suzuki (*1941 Pyongyang) is known as a pioneer of sound art, but the breadth of his activities and the form of his works far exceeds the normal boundaries of sound art. It is perhaps more as a "quester after sound and space" that he has received the most attention f…
Libelocus-(alpha), Libelocus-(beta), Libelocus-(gamma)
Big tip! Romanian composer, conductor, and musicologist Iancu Dumitrescu is often described as one of the leading figures of spectral music, yet he has produced a body of powerful works resonating with explosive sound and friction that places him very much in his own universe. Dumitrescu studied under his compatriot, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache, who rarely left behind concert recordings. From him Dumitrescu absorbed phenomenology and conducting techniques, incorporating them into his own co…
Minimalistic Ethio 80’s and 90’s from Audiotapes የሐር ሽረሪት
On Minimalistic ethio 80’s and 90’s from audiotapes የሐር ሽረሪት, DJ Mitmitta threads together lo‑fi synth jams and cassette‑era instrumentals from unsung Ethiopian bands, where battered Casios and drum machines sketch hypnotic, pastel‑toned echoes of wedding halls and roadside bars.
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…
All Thoughts Fly
Sacro Bosco (“Sacred Grove”) is the starting point for Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly. Here in solo instrumental mode, the entire record consists of just one instrument, the organ, and represents absolute liberation of the imagination. All Thoughts Fly radiates a melancholic beauty, and is distinguished by fluid transitions of contrasting elements; calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, much like the place that inspires the music. Sacro Bosco is a garden, based in the centre of Ital…
Oriental Suite
From The Edge is a long-form musical work shaped by the acoustics, history, and atmosphere of Dover.
Theory Of Becoming
The ECM New Series debut of Evgueni Galperine is one of the most strikingly original and evocative albums of the year. A composer of Russian and Ukrainian heritage, living in Paris since 1990, Galperine is working with sound, texture and dynamics in new and powerfully expressive ways. As he explains, the sound world of Theory of Becoming represents an “augmented reality of acoustic instruments, created from recordings made with real and virtual instruments. The numerous transformations the inst…
Quiet Panic
*Edition of 100* On Quiet Panic, Mark Schaub sculpts a slow‑burn tension where stillness never quite settles, his compositions hovering between ambience and unease, finely honed and given extra dimensional depth by Andrea Marutti’s mastering.
