Heroes Of The Second Story Walk-Up
*300 copies limited edition* It's beautiful outside today, though you wouldn't guess it from the darkness of your bedsit. So get up, sleepyhead, I've got a special treat for you. The Fun Years have dipped your madeleine in tea brewed from mescaline. Sip it slowly as you watch the tattered clouds chase passenger jets across the windowpane. Don't miss a crumb on the plate—an extraordinary thing is about to happen.
Or maybe it already did? Rewind, press play. People are talking about sticky shed sy…
Bur Sting Brea K’r
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock* Cloud Circuit is Deanna Radford (poetry) and Jeremy Young (electronics.) The Cloud Circuit Ensemble includes Philippe Vandal (saxophone) and Alexandre St-Onge (bass & laptop.). This project is inspired by the failures of communication technologies as they are tied to human experiences of communication.

Issue 92: Röyksopp
Blimey. We like to think we've had some pretty striking covers over the years, but the photo of Röyksopp on the front of this month's Electronic Sound really is something else. We have a weighty interview with the unorthodox Norwegian group inside the magazine, plus a fantastic blue vinyl seven-inch from the duo to accompany the issue.
Röyksopp's massively popular 2001 debut album, 'Melody AM', made them the first new electronic superstars of the 21st century. Two decades down the line, Svein B…
Advanced Myth
Advanced Myth is the lucid debut album from Dialect, the now long standing project of British composer and musician Andrew PM Hunt. An enchanted exploration of unusual source synthesis, electro-acoustic arrangements, and found sound, Advanced Myth is its own cosmos expanding in real time. Newly mastered from definitive mixes by Stephan Mathieu, and available for the first time on vinyl.
In the absence of conventional structure, it’s shifts in spirit that provide Advanced Myth’s emotive signposti…
Gondolas Traversing Lofty Peaks
Pocket Pavilions is the recording project of Daniel Högberg from Gothenburg, Sweden. The album is the first part in a three volume set of 10” mini albums from Pocket Pavilions to be released on Castles in Space. The third part will be available in a deluxe box designed to house all three volumes.
“For me, writing and recording pieces of music is a bit like building miniature worlds one can step inside. I always liked the pavilions of the mid century world fairs. Pavilions, architecture with no f…

Oscilloghost
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock. Limited edition of 60 copies.* A rare example of gamekeeper turned poacher? Lee Pylon is the curator and presenter of the excellent Kites And Pylons radio show, but has recently crossed the barricades to produce a welter of impressive electronica in his own right. And these two new albums showcase differing sides to his take on minimalist, radiophonic composition. So Nagasaki Collapse Team is a measured reaction to the dystopia of 2020, with the bleak austeri…
Hattie Cooke
*In process of stocking.* Third Kind Records release Hattie Cooke's debut album anew on 180g white vinyl. We originally released this on cassette in 2016 and it quickly became a sought-after fan favourite as well as our most requested vinyl reissue.
Since it’s 2016 cassette release Hattie has released two successful LPs and developed something of a following for her combination of catchy but candid alt-folk songwriting with New Order-like synth pop textures. This debut remains one of the most co…

Hybrid Vigor
This one is a bit unique - we have sourced ~700 original sealed copies of a rare 1984 release by Myles Davis and Ray Herrmann, entitled Hybrid Vigor.

Highly tipped for fans of Talking Heads, Savant, Sly & Robbie, Laurie Anderson, Bill Laswell / Material, or King Sunny Adé.' - RVNG

I'll Look For You In Others
I’ll Look for You in Others is the bittersweet fruit of a painful time in the Portland, Oregon, electronic musician’s life. Patricia Wolf wrote and recorded the album in 2020, in the aftermath of losing her mother-in-law to cancer and then, months later, losing a close friend. Created using her habitual materials—synthesizer and voice—in unfamiliar ways, the album served as a means of processing her feelings of heartbreak.
Feeling disconnected from everything around her, including her usual appr…
Orillas Distantes / Distant Shores
Mario Verandi’s music goes beyond music. It’s electronic. It’s also theater, dance, sound art, film, radio. In fact, Verandi has such a strong sense of dramatic personality, and his music is so evocative, that you’ll find yourself in a musical theater. You’ll hear percussion instruments from Brazil. You’ll hear the sounds of Barcelona, with its street bustle, guitars, and rhythms, in your living room. He evokes a kind of flamenco that you’ll rarely hear, with suggestions of guitars, the dancing …
City of Light
*500 copies limited 'indian green' color vinyl* City of Light is the sixth solo album by American composer Bill Laswell, released on July 29, 1997. While it may appear an anachronism in his catalog, fans of Bill Laswell will find City of Light an extension of ideas he has explored throughout his career. His strong interest in Eastern music and religion resulted in this 1997 collaboration with Janet Rienstra. Part sacred, spoken word, part meditative soundscape, City of Light takes as its inspir…
For The Unknown
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 handmade screen-printed sleeves.* A lovely slab from Catalan folk/neo classical singer/songwriter Iñigo Ugarteburu showcasing his deft acoustic playing and spellbinding arrangement alongside a ten piece ensemble. Moving on from the subtle joys of his 'Back&Forth' LP for Talo in 2012, 'For The Unknown' hems close to Chicago's improvising avant garde with an expanded palette of field recordings, piano, modular synth, brass, bicycles, and 20-string Steel Bass by …
Toiminnan Aattona
*2022 stock.* Toiminnan aattona translates as “On the Eve of Action”. The basic tracks for the album were already recorded in 2012 by Sami Sänpäkkilä (Es, Fonal Records) and Jan Anderzén (Tomutonttu, Kemialliset Ystävät). The legendary Goodiepal whistled on two tracks during his visit in Finland. The album was put on hold for many years due to other projects. In 2017 both Sami and Jan listened to the album and decided that this must be released. Additional violins and vocals by Sanna Komi and sa…
ADHD
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Fusing spacious electronic minimalism, shimmering guitars, and the empyrean voice of Misty Mary, Portland’s WL (pronounced ‘well’) arrive at the end of 2020 with an album of lustrous, crystalline Left Coast pop that is destined to be a trusted companion during the long nights ahead. ADHD is a defining statement of purpose for the group, made during a time of personal upheaval and featuring an evocative song cycle that begs to be listened to on repeat.…

Living Room
Living Room is the third solo album by Roméo Poirier and, following his much praised Hotel Nota, his debut for Faitiche. The French musician and producer transforms the layering of different times into a free-flowing pulse that sounds both nostalgic and mysteriously ahistorical. Poirier takes music seriously as a time-based art – not just in the sense of duration, but also in the way time is refracted into autobiographical experience, historical dimensions and stages of evolution. By immersing a…
Epitaph (Live At Roadburn Redux 2021)
*Limited edition of 300 copies. 3 sided 2LP in gatefold sleeve.* Long time Roadburners will be familiar with Dirk Serries – he has performed at the festival under various guises a number of times.

Fate had other ideas… but in with a creative spirit that never stops wandering and a thirst for experimenting, we knew that Di…
