Magic Theatre
Some records exist outside of time not by design but by circumstance. Magic Theatre was recorded in the spring of 1972 in the Stuttgart studio of pianist Horst Jankowski, submitted to MPS, and promptly shelved. It sat untouched for three decades, until Jankowski - shortly before his death - returned the tapes to their rightful owner. What emerged was one of the most genuinely unclassifiable documents of the European underground.
Drum Circus were a Swiss percussion ensemble anchored by Peter Gige…

Independent / Interdependent
On Independent / Interdependent, Savina Yannatou, Gonçalo Almeida and Costis Drygianakis turn a live trio into a dark, hovering organism, where voice, double bass and electronics circle each other in tense, shifting proximity, testing how far independence can stretch without breaking connection.

Fake Man
Do you remember when albums used to be fourteen tracks long, with clear song structures and a sense of narrative development? No? Neither do we. And that is exactly why Artetetra is thrilled to welcome Orange Car Crash in their roster with their new album Fake Man. Shaped by years of circulation across psych, jazz, punk, and experimental scenes, featuring collaborations with projects like Lay Llamas, Mamuthones and Snüff, Andrea Davì’s Orange Car Crash operates less as a solo project and more as…
Rhythm Immortal
Carrier’s debut album features eight elegantly rude arrangements that dance in negative space between Photek’s frictional syncopations, Rhythm & Sound’s dubwise minimalism and Torsten Pröfrock’s fractured dynamics, bolstered on two tracks by contributions from Voice Actor & Memotone, summoning a noirish, jazzier frisson to his signature metrics and temporalities.
Los Mandatos del Aire
On Los Mandatos del Aire, Peruvian flautist Camilo Ángeles deconstructs his instrument into a bridge between worlds, channeling Amazonian cosmology and ayahuasca visions through extended techniques, microtonalities, analog processing and reverb‑chamber acoustics in dialogue with Musuk Nolte's photography.
America's Greatest Noise (Book)
The next book on Korm Plastics contains no photographs of the artists, no list of released records, no pictures of record sleeves, and no footnotes. It is not a hardcover, not on glossy paper and is not expensive. It’s… ‘America’s Greatest Noise’ tells the story of Ron Lessard, owner of RRRecords, a record store in Lowell, Massachusetts and, from 1986 to 2009, a record label, releasing the albums of Blackhouse, F/i, PGR, the first Merzbow LP outside Japan and many more, regional compilations, th…
Doo Dah Nean
A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late 90’s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and…

Convergence: Live In China
On Convergence: Live In China, William Hooker and John King turn a Shenzhen stage into a pressure chamber, stretching one unbroken hour of drums and guitar from whispering tension to volcanic release in a charged act of real‑time communication.
Exuma II
Exuma returns with Exuma II, the hypnotic follow-up that deepens the spellbinding fusion of Bahamian folk traditions, mystical storytelling, and raw, soulful performance. First released in 1970 on Mercury Records, Exuma II expands the singular vision that introduced the world to Exuma’s otherworldly sound earlier that year.
On Exuma II, the artist refines the eccentric, ritualistic atmosphere of his debut while offering moments of greater restraint and melodic clarity. Where the first album dazz…
Morgen
*2026 stock* US heavy psych masterpiece from 1969. Powerful sound and recording with thunderous drums, piercing fuzz guitars and the incredible vocals of Steve Morgen. Formed as Morgen’s Dreame Spectrum in 1967 in NY, Morgen were one the first bands signed to ABC’s offshoot Probe Records (home also of Soft Machine in the US).
Fuelled by the chemistry between ace guitar player Murray Shiffrin and creative songwriter/singer Steve Morgen, they recorded their self-titled album in 1968 but, much to t…
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.

1998 (Book)
** 2026 Stock. Edition of 500 ** 1998 brings back into circulation one of Ugo Rondinone’s most intimate and unsettling projects: a diary from his five-part cycle of the 1990s, written and drawn between 1992 and 1998 as the AIDS crisis pushed a newly fearful, homophobic Western society to shove queer lives back into the shadows. Rather than responding with slogans or safe symbolism, Rondinone invented “Ugo,” an artist and drug addict living in Zurich, and followed him across hundreds of pages of …
