Lacrimosa
Deeply tied to the composer’s own life, the narrative of Lacrimosa invites reflection in the face of loss.

One of its sections, the Dies Irae, evokes Judgment Day and concludes with the Lacrimosa (literally, “full of tears”), depicting the weeping of souls in search of salvation.
In Lacrimosa, Low Jack transforms autobiographical elements int…

Ahura

In the decade plus since Rollerball first formed, this highly prolific family of musicians have conjured up staggering amount of recorded material; 12 full lengths albums, another dozen eps and singles and countless compilation appearances.

Live
Jealousy Party rapes the suggestions of the free music, avant-rock, the disturbed and unsociable electronics, squirts of songs, saxs, laptop and cds in flames and histrionic vocal manipulations. The mutant project expresses with delirium and destructured transparency the synthesis among creative abstractism, expressive urgency, tragic avant-gardism, theatricality and punk attitude.
Fun House Mirrors
Fun House Mirrors is the 4th album by Almagest!, the 2nd under the Almagest! moniker being the first 2 releases credited to founding members Palumbo/Tomasini. After four years the band comes back with a new sound far from the piano driven pieces of the previous Messier Objects (Tourette Records 2013) and manifesting itself into 5 long electric richly textured and arranged, as the title suggests conceptually and sonically distorted cinematic compositions made of the fabric of sensual and disturbi…
Joy In Fear
goat (jp) are renowned for two albums released in 2013 and 2015 that took Kraftwerk’s man-machine concept back to its roots with swingeing, inch-tight drums, bass and guitar patterns that needed to be heard to be believed. For their long-in-the-making new album ‘Joy In Fear’, band leader Koshiro Hino (ypy, Kakuhan) describes the process as “90 percent pain” - and we can well believe it - few other records we can think of transmute DAW-composed rhythmic precision into such an expressive instrumen…

Meditations
Meditations is a set of 8 works based on the experience of meditation practice. Music made for both meditation and reflecting the realities of a life of daily practice. The breath, the quietness, the listening, the distracted dissonant and consonant thoughts that pass through. The texts throughout the pieces are fragments of the Buddhist Heart Sutra, the shortest and created from a mixture of traditions and sources, produced long after Buddha's death and meant to be chanted or sung as a ritual a…
Everyday Infrasound In An Uncertain World
*300 copies limited edition* Even though you can’t hear it, infrasound fills the air. And because the atmosphere doesn’t absorb it like regular sound, infrasound comes from hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. If humans could perceive frequencies lower than 20 Hz, then changing ocean currents, wildfires, turbines, receding glaciers, industrial HVACs, superstorms, and other geophysical and anthropogenic sources from across the planet would be part of the quotidian soundscape of our lives, w…
A Guidance
*300 copies limited edition* "Full focus. Recorded in one day on the Element Studio in Gothenburg. For some reason, I had decided to play the grand piano through effects. Leif had brought only texts for some vocal action. Linus had a sound in mind. Daniel had chosen a cover image already. I remember it so well, that it all sort of just happened. We did not talk about what kind of energy or tension we were after. Sometimes it is just like the music is just there and you don’t have to do anything …
