** Small repress **Live and direct from Balombo City, capital of Bolombia, a land of milk and honey in between the scorching stomping South and the glacial abstract North: Maistah Aphrica are back on track! The word has spread in the Bolombian nation: everyone who knows they are returned is shouting De balombo!” (so cool), “El secondo xe Meow!” (the 2nd is better), they answer back. Maistah Aphrica (never been to Aphrica, in their own Bolombian slang) celebrate again Cultura de Bolombia: the nat…
Listening to the music of Al Doum & The Faryds is always like staying in the pristine nature of an exotic island, in the sacred harmony of a new organic society; imaging all brothers and sisters singing and dancing in the unity of the brotherhood. This is the message of love and joy that pervade this fourth album, Spirit Rejoin. Moving towards accents of jazz ancestry, the Faryds absorb and re-elaborate -- with remarkable insights -- disparate elements and influences of electric jazz of the '70s…
*100 copies limited edition* "Will and I have been playing together for a very long time and in a lot of very different contexts. Our musical history goes back to playing basements and art galleries in Providence in 2008, wanders through a years-long informal residency playing as a sax and guitar duo in Bushwick and Ridgewood, and brings us up to just last week when Will joined Taper’s Choice at a sold out Brooklyn Bowl to celebrate Relix Magazine’s 50th anniversary—more on that again later.

A deep mystery surrounds both the film Nell'anno della Luna and its beguiling 1970 soundtrack, a work that hovers somewhere between the elegant swing orchestrations of an earlier era and the more adventurous sonic territories being charted by Italian composers at the close of the 1960s. Even in our current age of instant information and exhaustive online databases, almost nothing is known about the movie itself. What remains is the music: ten tracks of remarkable sophistication and inventiveness…
On her sophomore album Pancake Moon, Michiko Ogawa crafts a liminal soundworld suspended between darkness and light, fusing sho, piano, and synthesizers into reflections on memory, loss, and renewal. Released in late 2025 by Futura Resistenza, the record drifts through introspective layers and subtle textures, inviting listeners into an immersive experience that is at once deeply personal and quietly radiant.
Castle Terraces in Barry Lyndon is a spacious and quietly enigmatic work by composer and writer Zeynep Toraman. Created for instrumental ensemble, electronics and film, and written for Ensemble Contrechamps, the piece brings together clarinet, cello, violin, electric guitar and electronic textures with a subtly unfolding visual layer. What emerges is a world where sound and image lean gently toward one another, opening a listening space that feels both architectural and intimate.

*2023 repress!! Limited edition* Sofa Records is delighted to propose the reissue of this seminal French underground record ! Released in 1979, this concept record is an attempt to sublimate sexual perversion. It results from the association between Jacques Pasquier (founder of S.C.O.P.A./Invisible Records and central figure of the Parisian alternative scene during the 70s), the producer Hector Zazou, the outraging graphic design collective Bazooka and other talents from the outskirts of artisti…
Tip! *250 copies limited edition* The Kriego is the joint project of musicians and sound artists Fernando Feria & Emiliano Cruz.

The project emerged in October 2021 in Mexico City with the presentation of their album I at Casa Patricio, later p…
