The Leopard

La Cantata Rossa per Tall el Zaatar
A devastating cry for Palestine, nearly five decades later, this radical 1977 masterpiece returns to vinyl via Black Sweat Records. Demetrio Stratos, Gaetano Liguori, and Giulio Stocchi created a powerful sonic testament to the 1976 Tall el Zaatar massacre - a devastating blend of free jazz, experimental vocals, and Mediterranean traditions. More than music, it's unflinching historical testimony that remains painfully relevant today.
Joy In Fear
goat (jp) are renowned for two albums released in 2013 and 2015 that took Kraftwerk’s man-machine concept back to its roots with swingeing, inch-tight drums, bass and guitar patterns that needed to be heard to be believed. For their long-in-the-making new album ‘Joy In Fear’, band leader Koshiro Hino (ypy, Kakuhan) describes the process as “90 percent pain” - and we can well believe it - few other records we can think of transmute DAW-composed rhythmic precision into such an expressive instrumen…

Commenti Musicali: Thrilling vol.2
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling Vol.2 presents a mosaic of Italian library music at its most eccentric: electronic soundscapes, krautrock inflections, and ambient dread. The compilation unearths rare, atmospheric pieces from the early 1980s, conjuring wired tension and spectral cinematic drama from the Contempo vaults.
Yarrow
Tip! *30 copies limited edition. Baby blue/pink hand-labelled cassette, housed in a hand-made pouch, with dried botanicals sewn into each one by Allanah.* Murky, swirling, whirring and organic, Clinton Green & Allanah Stewart indulge in jams where listening is deep, and the music sifts through your fingers like sand.

Survival techniques from the old world volume 2
London-based experimental sound artist picoFarad returns with Survival Techniques from the Old World Volume 2, the second chapter in a strikingly original body of work that explores the sonic artifacts, tools, and forgotten practices of bygone eras.
Where Volume 1 mapped the terrain with sparse textures and fractured forms, this new installment dives deeper into the resonance of memory, decay, and invention. Layering found sounds, analogue signals, voice fragments, and electronic interference,…
Everyone I Love Is Sleeping And I Love Them So So Much
Yara Asmar’s new album, “everyone I love is sleeping and I love them so so much”, presents 11 pieces recorded over the past year between the small town of Alfred in upstate New York and Beirut. These sometimes fragile and tentative sound sketches reflect the times as Yara steps out, as if onto ice, into a new life on a new continent. She works with unfamiliar instruments, new materials and new sounds to build on her intimate style; homemade mechanical music boxes and a personal archive of family…

Viva
Viva is the seminal second album by the German band La Düsseldorf, originally released in 1978 and widely regarded as their most successful work to date. The album features the hit singles "Rheinita," which stands as their most popular track, and "Cha Cha 2000," an expansive and utopian composition blending hypnotic repetition, delicate piano passages, evocative chants, and rich electronic textures. This track has become the band’s signature anthem and a dreamy manifesto envisioning a more ideal…
Non-Linear
Sissy Spacek’s Non-Linear detonates the idea of narrative from within, stitching decades of raw sessions and volatile improvisations into a panoramic fever-dream. Restlessly shape-shifting, the album spirals through states of collapse and acceleration, refusing to settle - a radical archive of noise at its most ungovernable.
Kwanza
Temporary Offer. These 1969 recordings (released 5 years later) combine Archie Shepp’s free jazz bonafides and a blend of blues and funk through an African lens, all in a big band setting. The all-star brass section, featuring James Spaulding and Charles Davis on sax along with trombonist Graham Moncur III lead the way on stand outs including “New Africa” and “Spoo Pee Doo.” This Verve By Request LP features transfers from analog tapes and remastered on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in De…

Van Houdt’s touch brings warmth and clarity, illuminating the invisible architecture within Frey’s sensitive landscapes.
