In Four Parts succinctly establishes a beautiful but shadowy gravitas that is core to the PITP catalog, and that each artist has explored throughout successive releases in numerous, genre-defining ways. We are proud to present a limited, black vinyl reissue of this long-out-of-print suite …

Thinking Like a Mountain
*300 copies limited edition* Thinking Like a Mountain is the much-anticipated second album by ambient guitar composer From Overseas (aka Kévin Séry), who expands on the vistas and valleys of his début, Home (PITP, 2020), while reflecting on a half-decade that involved a transcontinental relocation and numerous other life changes. Most notably, the main threads weaving through these eight pieces are Séry’s experience as a new father and his graduate studies in Environmental Philosophy, both of wh…
Stars And Silence
*100 coipes limited edition* Five years after their landmark début, Mirrored (ZDR, 2020), Drew Sullivan (Slow Dancing Society) and Zach Frizzell (zakè) present Stars & Silence, a double album that invites internal exploration and deep meditation with its fluid blend of rich ambience, hypnotic IDM, and melodic finesse. “Everything we do is about reconnecting with the resonance and energy that we are made from,” Sullivan states, and in each of the album’s passages, we feel the pulse of an expandin…

Nite Closures EP
Mark Fell inaugurates his new label - The National Centre for Mark Fell Studies - with his first solo electronic material in years; a slinky, ravishing volley of unique dance drills that have been in the works for over a decade, feeling somehow like Derek Bailey dissecting Singeli, or Autechre and Hermeto Pascoal dancing in hyperspace. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Back on the ‘floor for the first time since dealing a pair of deep house 12”s with DJ Sprinkles, sending a contemporary classi…
Bone of Contention
Eric Random is a cult figure of the British electronic scene and one of the true pioneers of post-punk electronica. Born in 1961 and growing up in Manchester, Random was drawn to music through his older siblings and was given a guitar by his father. In 1978, he joined Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks and drummer Francis Cookson to form The Tiller Boys, an experimental trio that debuted supporting Joy Division at Manchester’s Factory Club. The band’s brief existence ended in October 1979. After the gro…
ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts
ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts marks Varg2TM back in collaboration with Chatline, an enigmatic figure long in orbit of Northern Electronics. Recorded live to tape, the record resists comfort. Contained within are two harrowing demonstrations that drag on emptiness, anxiety, and abject pleasure. And though terse and severe, that very void becomes the vessel for its mottled meaning.
Unopen to exploration, 'ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts' locks the listener into its own saturated atmosphere. Stripped back …
Variierende Töne Vol.II - membranes + machines
*50 copies limited edition* Descending from the first volume, Variierende Töne vol.II retraces the essential threads of the label, this time through two parallel perspectives: membranes + machines. A continuity of path, where past and future blur into new readings, into sounds that move between repose and tension, between presence and absence.
The work is divided into two movements. Side A: an immersion in organic matter—field recordings, acoustic research, surfaces shaped by Hanna Maria & Matti…
Karakoz
Mai Mai Mai’s artistic path has never rested on laurels, it’s been a constant evolution, a profound and poetic research, a dark and dusty journey through awareness and collaborations where the heart of the process has always been about building connections and understanding people and their rituals. Mai Mai Mai’s new album ‘Karakoz’ was mostly recorded in Palestine (Ramallah and Bethlehem) in 2024 during an ongoing genocide and follows his acclaimed Southern Gothic double-album ‘Rimorso’. The al…

Tarantola
*300 copies limited edition* Hailing from Raw Culture, Anna Funk Damage returns with his third release on the Roman label, delivering a record as fierce as it is intimate. Tarantola was born out of a winter suspended between contrasting emotions – melancholy, anger, love, confusion – distilled into a sound that transforms personal fragility into collective energy. There’s no pursuit of perfection here, but rather an urgency running through the veins, taking shape across supersonic punk, wave, am…
Spots

Primordia

Lacrimae Mundi Remixed
*300 copies limited edition* More than a decade after the seminal release of Lacrimae Mundi, Croatian ritual ambient pioneer TeHÔM returns with Lacrimae Mundi Remixed, a transcendent new offering that gathers together the crème de la crème of the dark ambient, ritual, and post-industrial realms. Nine acclaimed artists have reinterpreted TeHÔM’s esoteric soundscapes, each reshaping its primordial textures through their own distinctive sonic language. They collectively conjure an entirely new rit…
Acéphale
With Acéphale, German ritual ambient project Vortex delves deeper into the mythic undercurrents of philosophy, ritual, and sound. The album continues the band’s ongoing exploration of aural mythology through subtle drone compositions, ritualistic percussion, and an overarching sense of psychosexual tension. Taking inspiration from the work of Georges Bataille, Acéphale evokes the forbidden energies at the heart of human experience. In the 1930s, Bataille founded both a journal and a secret socie…
Ghur
*300 copies limited edition* “In the Abyss of the crucible, She sleeps. Stained in shadows, cleansed by fire. Yet, in Her womb, an astral pulse throbs. The Golden Seed, the adept would claim.” Canadian ritual drone duo Sublimatio Mortis return with Ghur, their third full-length and most intense, immersive, and obscure work to date, a descent into the sonic depths where matter dissolves and spirit is reborn. Through the magical process of sound and vibration, Sublimatio Mortis conjure chthonic so…
