Music from United States

Hardback book style packaging, 24 page booklet + 140 minutes of music - The most ambitious work of Sarah Davachi's career to date. Spanning more than two hours of music across three LPs, The Will of Tongues arrives on the composer's own Late Music imprint as a vast, deeply considered statement - a meditation on the act of listening itself, and on the mental spaces that sound, given duration and reduction, continually opens. Over the last decade, Davachi has emerged as one of the most singular vo…

Out of print since 2014!! Look Mom No Head! dresses rock ʼnʼ roll in its full regalia, with its many knobs, buttons and doo-dads. Man! The electric guitar sounds like it might launch a rocket! Replete with celebrations of intoxication and sexual prowess, The Cramps’ 1991 album sports “Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots” from the movie Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, a torchy rendition of Jack Nitzscheʼs slow-fuck blues “Hardworkinʼ Man” and the cross-dressing classic “I Wanna Get In Your Pants.” Minute…

Originally planned for 1985 to join in the onslaught of Elvisʼs 50th Anniversary commemorative reissues, A Date With Elvis came out in early 1986 in Europe only, where it went on to sell more than 200,000 copies. The only album featuring The Cramps as a three-piece band (Poison Ivy doubled on bass), it careens from the sociopathic advice of “People Ainʼt No Good” (later covered by Nick Cave) to mind-on-vacation odes like “Aloha From Hell” and “Kizmiaz” (where The Cramps prove they were exotic wh…

One of the strangest and most ambitious artifacts of American psychedelia. Originally issued by Monitor in 1967, Peak Impressions is the lone album by The Freeborne, a band of Boston teenagers - their ages ranged from seventeen to nineteen, three of them still in high school - who produced a record so overloaded with ideas that it has confounded easy classification ever since. Long a target of bootleggers, counterfeited repeatedly across the decades, it stands among the great cult objects of the…

On War Poem, Chris Connelly turns antique tape machines into artillery: a single, accidental loop blooms into side‑long, grief‑stricken immersion, where scorched industrial sonics and stark anti‑war outrage fuse into something brutally intense and unnervingly beautiful.

You Smile — The Song Is Over is Cheer-Accident’s 27th full-length release, out on the most-singular/most-still-standing Cuneiform label. It is an ambitious little monster, with lots of density and lots of sprawl, and it’s the perfect catalyst to force you out of your idiotic, culturally imposed ADD stupor. You Smile is, by turns, both meditative and adventurous, and we don’t see why you would want to leave your couch and/or headphones for a very long time. Our last couple releases could very wel…

CD edition. A title like a manifesto, and music with the conviction to carry it. For a few nights at the close of 1972, the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen held a trio that would barely survive the season. Abdullah Ibrahim - then still recording as Dollar Brand - sat at the piano; Don Cherry stood with his trumpet; Carlos Ward raised his alto. From the performance of November 14 came The Third World-Underground, a record that surfaced only in Japan, on Trio Records' Nadja imprint in 1974, and t…

"Video gambling addicts, academic researchers, and industry professionals alike describe the trancelike state into which problem gamblers suspend themselves with remarkable consistency: they unanimously call it the machine “zone,” a kind of inner experience during which the rhythmic flow of human-machine collusion borders on mysticism. Time is abolished in the act of contemporary video gambling—simulated slot reels roll, virtual poker decks deal, and all worldly concerns are lost—leaving only th…

Prison’s third big one, Big Rigs on the BQE, finds our jammers of legend far away—miles from Downstate (2025) and Upstate (2023): driving further down the road, Prison’s guitar, bass and drums compel them to dream loud. An improvised rock and roll tapestry, multiple impulses, intersections and lifelines rended with gas ‘n guitar pedal on down to the metal. Reflecting real lives lived today, sprawled and recalled in undulating electroacoustic performance. On March 7th 2024, Prison vets Sarim Al-R…

Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy…

“Hanging in the chill out rooms of the 1990’s rave scene inspired me to create my first ambient album, Atmospherics over 30 years ago. For this album I wanted to journey back and create a love letter to those magical times, and the energy that was felt in those small rooms decades ago.” - JB

In 1963 and 1965 Oscar Peterson performed at the Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki. He was the leader of what was then considered one of the most closely-knit bands in the history of jazz, made up of Oscar himself and two other fabulous jazzmen, Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. For the 1965 concert, trumpeter Clark Terry was invited to join the legendary trio.The Helsinki concerts were both part of whirlwind European tours that included performances all over the continent, from France and Germ…

Three piece U.S. hard rock outfit formed in 1969 that released two albums. At the time of their release, the albums were not successful but have grown to have cult status over the years. Guitarist and vocalist Richie Wise went on to write songs and produce records for Kama Sutra with Dust producer Kenny Kerner. The pair went on to produce the first two Kiss albums. Bassist Kenny Aaronson is a notable touring and sessions bass player having worked with Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol and ma…

Released in 1972 on Kama Sutra, Hard Attack is a heavy rock burner from New York trio Dust. Packed with searing riffs, wild energy, and the powerhouse drumming of Marc Bell (later Marky Ramone), it’s a raw, intense listen that still hits with full force. A true cult classic.
