Fragments of Sound, Figure of Music
2013 Release. Kenichi Kanazawa held the exhibition "Oto no Kakera" ("Fragments of Sound') and "Workshop" at the Kawagoe City Museum between 2006 and 2010. At the fifth and final exhibition, he did a workshop and performance with Hiroyuki Ura and Shinjiro Yamaguchi. This performance consisted of some fragments, with Yamaguchi adding his own details. According to his explanation, he tried to capture an invisible figure of music through composition using simple rules and styles. Housed in a …
Kontinuerlig Drift
*100 copies limited edition* Pursuant to PQR’s reissue of San Michael’s and Gandalf’s albums (both sold out in a flash), and more recently of Midsommar’s debut, we continue digging into the gold reserves of the Swedish 70s underground to unearth the highly collectable album by Kontinuerlig Drift (meaning ‘continuous operation’ in Swedish). Just like Gandalf, this is a versatile album, equally split into ethnoprog, psychedelic and bluesy moments, all of which were indispensable facets of the band…

Although unique enough to be called outsider, Young’s new album occupies a musical world accessible to fans of many genres. Composed and recorded over the span of several decades, Undercurrents displays the wide ran…
The Smegma Christmas Album
Bomb! * Edition of 200. Hand-made covers (each one is unique), comes with a postcard. * At the end of October 1973 Ricky Reets Hubba-Hubba Band was disbanded. It had been decided that what was needed was “a band without Musicians” and many wild experimental jam sessions took place. Finally on November 23 a particularly inspired jam was named “Cat Cheese” and the band SMEGMA was born. Although we had only been playing music together (or at all) for a few months, we decided to record a full lengt…

Wovenland 3
"Wovenland became a band. But we never do live shows. Our band activities are mainly editing in a studio. Our goal is to focus on acoustic experiments. No more and no less. We have been active for a total of about 10 days, including meetings, in 7 years. We are now disbanding." - Toshiya Tsunoda & Taku Unami
Lee Hazlewood-The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes, & Ba
With his handlebar moustache and booming baritone, Lee Hazlewood was one of the defining stars of the late ‘60s. Though he’s perhaps best known for his work with Nancy Sinatra (including writing mega-hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking”), Hazlewood did stunning work away from that particular glamour queen and found latter day champions in Beck, Sonic Youth, and Jarvis Cocker. Now, for Record Store Day 2012, we are kicking off our excavation of the Lee Hazlewood archives with this anthol…
