The Man In Me / Dark Star
*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. In …

Act of Tenderness
Cindy Lee is the diva alter-ego of singer / guitarist / drag queen Patrick Flegel, the one-time captain of heralded Canadian experimental guitar pop act, Women. In Flegel's working on / as Cindy Lee exclusively over recent years, their songwriting makes a move toward high atmospherics, often achieving a mysterious sweetness rooted equally in beauty and ache.
As Cindy Lee's first long-form statement, Act Of Tenderness makes use of antipodal themes to create a living sound: static with grace, dist…
Seven for Lee / Green and Orange Night Park
On Seven for Lee / Green and Orange Night Park, Kevin Figes & You Are Here treat the 7-inch as a miniature universe, squaring up to Lee Konitz and Keith Tippett with wiry lyricism, nervy swing and a slightly spectral warmth that makes homage feel like the start of another story rather than the end of one.
Eikon
Two years following his work 'Monumento Fiume', Giovanni Lami returns to Kohlhaas with a new release, once again investigating the intricate relationships between memory, the sonic medium, and decay. 'Eikon' originates from a series of acoustic cello recordings, subsequently disassembled and transformed by Lami, resulting in a unique deconstructed and layered object, lying somewhere at the intersection of soundtrack, decomposed ambient and video game music, shaped through the use of samplers, a …

Atelier de Libération de la Musique
**Much needed repress.** Often, when looking back over the history if experimental music in France, easy divisions can be seen to emerge. There are the pioneers of improvised music, usually associated with jazz, and there are the pioneers of electronic music, including tape, synthesis, and electroacoustic practice. This separation is convenient and serves historians well, providing simple answers for the what and why of what occurred, but, in most cases, fails to represent the true spirit of any…
Alan Vega
Alan Vega's self-titled debut solo album was released in 1980 during the same period Suicide released their second album, Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev. While Suicide's label ZE Records was interested in pushing the duo toward a synthetic disco sound inspired by Moroder's production on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," Vega felt a pull in a different direction. He wanted to dig deeper into the roots of his own sonic identity, fueled by blues, rockabilly, early rock n roll, and his enduring love …
Black Mass
The year is 1971 and Mort Garson - already prolific in the emerging world of Moog synthesis through his zodiac series and the gentler Mother Earth's Plantasia - decides to peer into darker territories. Under the singular moniker Lucifer, he releases Black Mass, an album that remains his most unsettling and focused work.
This is occult electronics before the term had any real meaning. Ten pieces exploring supernatural phenomena through purely synthetic means - the Moog interpreting exorcism, witc…
Ostranenie
Ostranenie is a collection of digitally manipulated, impressionistic piano miniatures — each named after blockbuster films and TV series. Improvised late at night as a reaction against passive media consumption, these pieces function as both homage and critique, navigating the space between classical impressionism and contemporary digital manipulation. They don’t just deconstruct traditional piano expression; they interrogate the emotional stakes of sound in an era where immersion culture flatte…

Parlez-vous Français?
A quick, spontané voyage to the French Riviera ca. 1968, good times long before things went south, Organi’s “Parlez-vous Français?” is a woozy, tripping, soothing sojourn: DIY dream pop, hazy psychedelia, blurred-but-steady beats dripping down the golden boulevard, complete with mystical chants, a dash of half-remembered Franglais that goes down like some vintage eau-de-vie. There’s a fine massage waiting behind those venetian blinds. Pay half an hour, you’ll be relaxed and revived after 22 mi…

Discreet Angel
Discreet Angel brings to light the uniquely understated voice of Mark Ellestad, gathering three chamber works composed between the late 1980s and early 1990s. What unifies the album is its atmosphere of meditative quiet and fragile resilience, qualities honed through Ellestad’s focus on pared-down gesture and subtle shifts in form. Rather than presenting polished showpieces, these compositions favor modesty, restraint, and an honest vulnerability - traits that resonate strongly with listeners se…
