Hammer & Sickle
Originally released in 1983, in the same year that the first two Muslimgauze LPs were released, Jones released an obscure 7inch ins a blank black sleeve on a label called Hessian. »Hammer & Sickle« is only release on the label ever – it might have been a camouflaged self-release. »Hammer & Sickle« operates in a similar territory as the mentioned LPs (but if anything a little further out from the main body of Jones’ work): They’re much spacier, more drifting, and notably less interested in using …

"The Art of K7" vol.#2
*50 copies limited edition* According to the general rule of exponents, any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1, with the exception of 0 raised to the power of 0, which is an indeterminate form. The expression 0 raised to the power of 0 arises when we have no quantity to multiply by itself zero times. In simpler terms, it represents the empty product. The empty / nullary / vacuous product refers to the result you get when you multiply no numbers. But apart from 0, any number raised to the p…

Soft Octaves
** 180g opaque blue/pink vinyl record. Edition of 200. ** That liminal moment, when the phosphorescence behind the window shade first disrupts your eyelids, is a difficult one to pinpoint.

Centuries have passed in your unconscious absence; every frequenc…
Bodies
With Bodies, Australian composer Madeleine Cocolas unlocks an embodied tidal force. Asmany of her antipodean compatriots would appreciate, water plays a huge part in the under-standing of Australia. Vast fluid bodies spill out from its shores and the dynamism and intensityof these oceans - physically and psychologically - act as a guide to the forms of this record.Like these fluid bodies themselves, the record shifts between violent ruptures, as waves of soundcollide, before giving way to passag…
Idle Easel
*300 copies limited release* "A new EP from Troth, following up their brilliant third album Forget The Curse. An EP of sorts, as these six wonderful tracks clocks in at over 31 minutes! A double one-disc EP? No matter what, Idle Easel sees the band in a transitional period, as the duo of Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman left Newcastle for Hobart, Tasmania during the recording sessions. The record has this heavy feeling of leaving something behind for something new, a feeling that is kind of boos…

The Black Flag Hoisted
2024 stock. In 2016, Belgian tribal-power industrial sextet Militia entered the studio to re-record their landmark 2000 album "The Black Flag Hoisted", the final chapter of the ‘Statement’ triptych.

It Means A Lot
Two individuals from faraway journeyed the world together, and were given many tiny gifts from the surroundings. Then the music came out as a matter of course, as if a thing was being put in its right place.
Detached Arrangement
*2024 stock* Is there ever a final version of anything? By recombining the aliquot of an album does something new appear? Rather than simply asking questions The Mistys went in search of answers. Using only the master tapes of the ‘Detached Engagement’ album as source material The Mistys sliced, chopped, screwed, looped, effected and a whole host of other audio alchemy to create the ‘Detached Arrangement’ mixtape. The original album’s beats have been dropped allowing the hidden elements to rise …
