People In Sorrow
Remastered LP edition. Finally back in print! Originally released by EMI's Pathé Marconi imprint in 1969, People in Sorrow — a 40-minute work by the four-piece lineup of Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, and Malachi Favors — has long been unavailable on vinyl and CD, and then only in hard-to-find European and Japanese issues. It is arguably the finest and most ambitious of the 14 studio albums recorded by the Art Ensemble of Chicago during their 23-month sojourn in France, which laun…
A Life in Folk (and Other Bitter Songs) (Book + CD)
A Life in Folk (and other bitter songs) brings Kan Mikami’s uncompromising voice into English through his 2000 autobiography, expanded with further writing, interviews and a previously unreleased 2017 Sapporo concert. Part confession, part cultural history and part raw oral transmission, it follows Japanese folk’s great outsider from provincial beginnings to a life lived against conformity.
Hip Harp
*2026 repress!* Born in Detroit in 1932 Dorothy Ashby can be easily recognized as the woman who gave the harp a Jazz voice. In her hands, the harp, an originally classical instrument which seemed to just scare people, became a highly versatile swinging voice able to drive a whole jazz rhythm section. Recorded in 1958 by master Rudy Van Gelder and originally released on the Prestige label, Hip Harp is a perfect example of Ashby’s artistry. At the head of a fine quartet featuring the great Frank …
Club Imperiale
Named after a now-shuttered nightspot that overlooked the beach on Italy's picturesque Tuscan coast, Maxime Denuc's 'Club Imperiale' is a work of speculative historical fiction, a record that imagines a point of creative symbiosis between the Catholic church and the ecstatic dancefloors of the early '90s.
Lynboril Lisinopril
For a while the trio just called itself "Me, you and Sue", which suited them - none of the three has ever seemed especially concerned with naming things. Adam Bohman, Sue Lynch and Crystabel Efemena Riley found each other through London's Horse Improvised Music Club and have been playing together in various rooms for years. This is their first record as a three, and it needed a real title. Lynboril Lisinopril takes Lyn(ch), Bo(hman) and Ril(ey), puts the invented word into a search engine and ke…
Bright Madness
Bright Madness is the third album from the pinch-me-is-this-real improvising trio of Wendy Eisenberg, David Grubbs, and Bonner Kramer. Fresh off their 2025 Big Ears appearance, Squanderers slid on over to Kramer’s adopted hometown of Asheville, North Carolina and laid down the glorious afternoon’s worth of instant compositions that stands before you. It’s the sound of Eisenberg, Grubbs, and Kramer doing their damnedest to dazzle one another, from shell-game sleights of hand to the effortless bea…

Huge Tip! Never before released recording of the Sensational and Banned Turkish Theater Play by James Baldwin and Engin Cezzar, Istanbul 1970. Licensed by Gökhan Akçura, author of Engin Cezzar's autobiography, who was personally entrusted with the original master tape by Engin Cezzar. "One of the most shocking and daring plays staged in Turkish theaters was banned by the Istanbul Governorship on February 7, 1970. The ban on the play, which was watched by 30,000 people in 60 days, did not last lo…

Brao Gongs of Ratanakiri (Cambodia)
Tip! This is raw, unfiltered ceremonial gong ensemble music recorded on location by Laurent Jeanneau in Ratanakiri, Cambodia’s northeastern province, bordering Laos and Vietnam. Along with Mondolkiri to the south, it was once home to many of the country’s ethnic minority communities. During the colonial period, the French failed to establish full control over the region. After independence, the Khmer state also struggled to govern it, while Khmer Rouge rebels hid in its forests in the 1960s amid…
Reloved (The Afro Club Mixes)
The Reloved series – Four Flies Records’ ongoing project where today’s producers reimagine select gems from the golden age of Italian library music and soundtracks – welcomes a new chapter from the formidable pairing of Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs. The tracks reworked in this vinyl EP all originate from the first half of the 1970s, a period when a fascination with African imagery and sounds was so pervasive among Italian composers that it became a prominent cultural and aesthetic trend. Applying …
In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music
On In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music, Dagmar Zuniga threads five years of Tascam‑4‑track recordings into a porous, tape‑hazed songbook: fragile transmissions where harmony, hiss and fingertip detail make lo‑fi feel widescreen.

Blorp Esette Gazette Volumes Three & Four
The history of the Blorp Esette, which chronicles the output of the Los Angeles Free Music Society and other entities in its orbit, dates back to 1977, with the release of Blorp Esette Volume One LP (soon to be reissued by Superior Viaduct) and Volume 2 2LP in 1980.

Intended to be an on-going series, it was paused after the passing of Transparency la…
A Taste
It doesn’t get much more special than this one. The music industry loves throwing around phrases like 'rare as hens' teeth' and 'holy grail', but Ricardo Marrero & The Group’s 1976 album A Taste genuinely earns them. A mythical and elusive release in its original form, for many it’s an unattainable prize in the Discogs wantlist, and one far out of reach financially. Even though it’s already been reissued by other amazing record labels over the years, we really wanted to make a Mr Bongo edition t…
Behind The Pane
*35 copies limited edition* 'Behind the Pane' is an album built around an intimate feeling: the warmth and safety of being inside the house while the outside world turns into rain, snow, wind, or twilight beyond the glass. Across its 8 pieces, the album explores ethereal soundscapes, delicate textures, and small details and artifacts that appear and disappear like reflections in a window. Each track seeks to capture that contrast between shelter and exposure: the protected silence of the interio…
Passerine
Passerine began in the fall of 2024 when my older son left home for college and friends began to ask if I were experiencing empty nest syndrome, or half-empty nest syndrome, as was the case. Each time, my reply was a simple, “nah, I’m good…everybody’s good.” And that was true. My wife, the boys, and I were all doing relatively well after many difficult, often harrowing years of helping our first-born navigate deep and dangerous mental health struggles — struggles so severe that we’d already had …
