Real Fun
*300 copies limited edition* “Life with my son is real fun. For this album, my efforts to make music that documents or evokes moments of grace and gratitude focused more tightly on our time together. In finding inspiration there, the music sometimes became busier, sometimes more pensive. It’s all reflective. There are moments here when you can literally hear us at play, but more often I’m trying to musically articulate the feeling of ‘I’m so glad we’re doing this, right now, together.’

Lynboril Lisinopril
For a while the trio just called itself "Me, you and Sue", which suited them - none of the three has ever seemed especially concerned with naming things. Adam Bohman, Sue Lynch and Crystabel Efemena Riley found each other through London's Horse Improvised Music Club and have been playing together in various rooms for years. This is their first record as a three, and it needed a real title. Lynboril Lisinopril takes Lyn(ch), Bo(hman) and Ril(ey), puts the invented word into a search engine and ke…
Sound as a Bell
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present Sound as a Bell: collages of piano, percussion, electronics, and found sound stemming from the correspondence between sound artist Fergus Kelly and pianist John Tilbury. Through Kelly’s studio transformations of Tilbury’s recordings – where sounds are stretched, reversed, layered and refracted – the listener is left to drift in a tumbling kaleidoscope that inspires listening at once ambient, improvisatory, surreal, electroacoustic, and …
gwaith anwel
*100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present gwaith anwel, the first recorded document of the long-running musical partnership between violinist Angharad Davies and double bassist Dominic Lash. Recorded in Oxford's Holywell Music Room, one of Europe's oldest purpose-built concert halls, the album distils almost twenty years of mutual listening, improvisation and artistic exchange, bearing traces of a shared musical path shaped through collaborations with figures as diverse as Tony Conr…
Outside Time
Kepla debuts on Liverpool label Sink with new compilation “Outside Time”. Following recent collaborations with Steven Warwick (PAN) and Dialect (RVNG Intl), “Outside Time” brings productions and experiments spanning ten years together for the first time.
Early forays draw inspiration from musique concrete, dub and industrial, using granular synthesis resampling from drum packs, repitched melodies and phone recordings, resulting in a collection of tracks both lo-fi and highly detailed. ‘Part Exhu…
The Double
Underpinned by spoken folktales stretching from Indonesia to Poland, a new collaborative EP from Warszawa/Berlin-based Jerzy Mączyński and London-based Flora Yin-Wong arrives via Accidental Meetings. Demons rising from the wind, unknown beings lurking in the forest – the record conjures a landscape built from heady layers of saxophone and the tormented strings of zither, harp, and kemence. Recorded across two intense studio sessions, the EP also features idiosyncratic contributions from London-b…
Breathing Under Honey
purely physical teeny tapes perform an invaluable public service in exhuming static cleaner lost rewards breathing under honey from the heady year o 2023, a slack-jawed riddle within the all-consuming enigma that is thee world of tarquin manek.
few records command a reissue so soon after their release, the soil heaped atop the (sainted) low company corpse still remaining more than a little damp, but this ones discreet-to-the-point-of-fury initial release justifies the flogging of the proverbial …
Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems
With Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, the ever elusive and shape-shifting Thomas Bush offers up a new album of category scrambling song craft. Since earlier solo efforts like Old And Red (2018), Preludes (2022) and The Next 60 Years (2024), Bush—currently based in Malmö—has traced a digressive path that has proven him capable of everything from murky wobbling dirges to uptight head-bopping laments to crystalline synth chords that hang precariously in the air over your new favourite bass …
Musique Domestique
Musique Domestique marks the debut full-length from French duo Adiciatz, a project that emerges from the shared musical curiosity of Manon Nogier and Guillaume Lespinasse. Living near Lyon and making music together since before the pandemic, the pair developed their sound during lockdown improvisations at home — a creative process that quickly revealed a unique musical chemistry rooted as much in folk tradition as in experimental exploration. Drawing on a wide palette of influences — from Occita…
Sumptuous Branching
* Edition of 100 copies * Chant is the starting point. Not chant as decoration or as a mood, but late medieval chant as a compositional problem, taken up by someone working alone with a bass clarinet, a piccolo, her own voice and a rack of analogue electronics. Emily Rach Beisel has described what drew her to it: music from before the rules hardened, with a wild freedom and density that later codification would take away. Multiple voices, as she puts it, "both intertwined and independent." Which…
Spiral Code
Second An'archives album from Tokyo trio archeus - Keiko Higuchi, Shizuo Uchida and Tomo - recorded in a single day in Koenji, with guest Kiyotaka Moriuchi on two pieces. Free improvisation moving from dense noise to near-silence. Edition of 290 with silkscreened jacket and obi.
不体失創造 ( Futaishitsu Souzou)
First vinyl album by Tokyo duo la scène 裸身. Three unhurried songs moving between slowcore, acid folk and psychedelic drift, with Saya's voice, Eiji's guitar and guest playing from Hiroshi Kurosawa. Issued by An'archives in 290 copies with silkscreened jacket, obi, inserts and postcard.
Séance of Sleep II: La lévitation de Shéhérazade
On Séance of Sleep II: La lévitation de Shéhérazade, David Wunder Brägger turns folk memory, analogue circuitry and microtonal drift into a slow‑burning dream ritual. Droning fiddles, handmade electronics, metallophones and vintage organs rise together, making an ambient record that feels at once archaic, futuristic and gently unmoored from waking time.
Testing the Waters
On Testing the Waters, crys cole follows water through five electroacoustic chapters of drift, friction and slow transformation. Field recordings, instruments and electronics seep into one another, forming a 2023 WDR 3 commission where trickles, resonances and submerged textures continually retune the ear, making movement feel tactile, uncertain and quietly alive.
Ys
Joanna Newsom's 2006 masterpiece returns on double LP: five sprawling songs where harp and voice meet Van Dyke Parks' orchestral grandeur, recorded by Steve Albini, mixed by Jim O'Rourke. Named for a drowned Breton city, Ys remains overwhelming
Four Louies Live
Bill Orcutt built The Four Louies by dropping Steve Reich's Four Organs onto "Louie Louie" - two of the most stubborn riffs in American music, high minimalism and dumb garage, forced into the same frame. This is what happened when he took it off the record and into a room. At Roulette last March the four organs became six, the rock trio swelled into a small army, and the plunderphonic stiffness of the studio version simply burned off. Six organists, twin drummers, William Winant on maracas, Chri…
The Chair and the Faucet
On The Chair and the Faucet, Etelin transforms a Zen‑retreat image into 33 minutes of quietly volatile modular synthesis. Alex Cobb’s Serge system traces dry, microtonal drones and wavering harmonics that drift without resolution, making stillness feel less like peace than a lucid encounter with electricity’s own unstable, living grain.
Several Years Later
People Skills - the long running project of Philadelphia's Jesse Dewlow - has spent close to two decades tuned to that lower, stranger frequency, and Several Years Later may be the fullest transmission he has yet let out of the room. Since the mid 2000s, Dewlow has worked at the seam where a song comes apart into weather. Repetitive guitar figures, idle tape phenomena, sound residue, voices sunk far beneath the surface - materials gathered under the sign of his Heresy Museum and set loose in sha…
Melting Pillars of Snow
Black Vinyl edition. XKatedral is proud to present a new full-length album by label co-founder Maria W Horn. Melting Pillars of Snow is a collection of new compositions from the renowned Swedish composer written for Contrabass Recorder, Shō, Percussion, Electric Guitar, Voice and Electronics performed by Horn together with a chamber ensemble consisting of Anna Petrini, Mattias Hållsten, Magdalena Meitzner and Mats Erlandsson.

Basilikum
Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…
