August 1974
180g double LP, newly remastered, lacquer cut by Rashad Becker, with liner notes by Julian Cowley. Four side-long improvisations recorded in a single day - 19 August 1974, Nippon Columbia Studio, Tokyo. Licensed from Nippon Columbia. Some records are made. This one was tuned into. On a single August day in 1974, eight musicians walked into a Tokyo studio and, instead of performing, set a process running - and ninety minutes of slow oceanic drift came out the other end, sounding less composed tha…
Vol. II
If Vol. 1 was the secret handshake, Vol. II is the full initiation rite. The anonymous Quebec duo's sophomore album landed in April 2026 with the weight of near-impossible expectations - sold-out tours across two continents, a viral KEXP session with millions of views, Pitchfork and Fantano circling the wagons - and the remarkable thing is that Angine De Poitrine didn't flinch. Six new tracks, same formula on paper - Khn's microtonal double-neck and loop pedals, Klek's ferocious yet calculated d…

Perseverance Flow
Fifteen years in, Joshua Abrams and his Natural Information Society have stopped trying to impress anyone and started building something genuinely necessary. Perseverance Flow strips away the expanded lineups of recent efforts, returning to the core quartet—Lisa Alvarado on harmonium, Mikel Patrick Avery on drums, Jason Stein on bass clarinet, and Abrams on guimbri—for one continuous 37-minute meditation that feels less like composed music than a natural phenomenon you've stumbled upon.
This isn…

D-A-D
Maybe it’s too much to ask for a moment of your attention. As we grow older and keep diving into this era of information, disinformation, fake news and all that, we also tend to take a step back and listen to the intents of those social media adverts that tell us to slow down, breathe in, breathe out, enjoy everything around you a little bit. So, if it’s not too much to ask, you can press play and start enjoying D-A-D. If you’re doing that, you can even stop reading this, because you don’t need …

Far From Over features this sextet of virtuoso im…
