Non-Linear
Sissy Spacek’s Non-Linear detonates the idea of narrative from within, stitching decades of raw sessions and volatile improvisations into a panoramic fever-dream. Restlessly shape-shifting, the album spirals through states of collapse and acceleration, refusing to settle - a radical archive of noise at its most ungovernable.
Fernande, Cecile
After a series of experiments and scores, Natasha Pirard returns with her most intuitive and personal project yet. Turning inward, she dedicates the work to her mother and late grandmother, whose caring presence shaped her life. A photobook of songs rustling through delicate pages of memory—the album weaves her voice, field recordings, synthesizer, and violin into an ode to the lasting influence of her matrilineal line. Fernande, Cecile reflects on these two women: Pirard lost her grandmother at…
Somewhere
Somewhere is a place we have been waiting years to experience: a climate of sounds and spirits that gathers quietly and disperses with hazy grace, the result of a chance connection and long term correspondence. Over the past decade, ambient drone composer zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has established his identity with numerous solo works, and his open-minded approach to peers has resulted in a complement of communal efforts; Pallette (who chooses to be known only by that moniker) has crafted no fewer…

Tse-k
Maurizio Bianchi is back on vinyl! A new special limited edition from SmallVoices and the father of Italian industrial music, together with Land Use in this new chapter of his legendary career. An oppressive meditative obscure early-industrial symphony based on two monolithic pieces of thick throbbing stuff. A long deep trip into the darker meanderings of the human mind... good luck! From the liner-notes "Electro-neural mitosis for hypochondriac neurotronic waves and farraginous tone emissions, …

Taking its name from both the less common and stable form of DNA and the Slovak term for “from the bottom”, Z…
Feather and Pine
We are very proud to announce the second album by Michael Krassner for Dark Companion. This innovative, as ever, breathtaking music was originally intended as the soundtrack to a docufilm by Michael James Beck and Star Rosencrans of the same name: the film denounces the severe deforestation of North America’s majestic forests and all the associated problems. The music strikes arcane chords, buried in our collective memory. Ancient tales are told without words, preserving a profound sacredness th…

Mechanics & Music (2CD)
"The Italian post-industrial scene has certainly been very rich: bands like Officine Schwartz, Rosemary's Baby, Ain Soph, Sigillum S, Atrax Morgue, T.A.C., and many others are testament to how this genre unexpectedly took root in Italy. F:A.R. came from a quiet city like Savona, yet their claustrophobic, frenzied, and obsessive music seems to originate in some hellish place dominated by disused factories with machinery that occasionally turns on itself. F:A.R. formed in the early 1980s and made …
