Bangone Ensemble
Big Tip! *200 copies * In the mid-70s in Northern New Jersey, some friends and I formed an ensemble called Atomic Squawk, with which we used our extremely limited musical techniques to play the sorts of whacked-out sounds about which none of our fucking peers gave a rat's ass. “Funny” talking blues, free form skronk, vaguely detourned covers of Beefheart and the Velvets -- these were our stocks in trade, and much happy time was whiled away in Randy Charles' basement drinking and making noise, si…
Synesthesia
Composed and performed by Ronan Courty, this piece for solo double bass slows down the layers of time by invoking an invented age-old music, somewhere between imaginary folklore and early music. Acoustically produced, the violent and obsessive friction of the bow on the string gradually reveals hovering layers of harmonics that extend the suspension of the moment while evoking a kind of electronically produced ambient sound; the illusion created by the emergence of sustained tones is particularl…
Broken Folk
*2025 stock* The 10” is pressed on translucent green vinyl with sleeve art by Belbury Poly's Jim Jupp. It’s released on Seatman’s own label KS Audio in association with Belbury Music. A five track EP of collaborations with folk singer Douglas E. Powell selected from Keith Seatman’s Albums: A Rest Before the Walk and all hold hands and off we go. It opens with a remix of the title track Broken Folk by Ghost Box veterans, Belbury Poly.Melancholic and subtly psychedelic, these songs are redolent of…
Passivité
Deluxe LP housed in metallic silver tip-on jacket with gloss film laminate finish, matte pigment stamping and two printed inner sleeves. When it was first released in 1997, White Heaven founder You Ishihara’s solo debut Passivité seemed to vanish into the ether, going largely unnoticed; the scant coverage it did receive in the Japanese music press was confused or even dismissive, and it hardly reached an overseas audience at that moment just before the online music era. It was released by the sh…
Extracøntinent
The extracøntinent that Damien Mingus invites us to visit on this new album from his My jazzy Child project is by no means an imagined or imaginary space. It's the palpable space forged by the musician's 25 years of activity, where popular and traditional music, free music and learned traditions collide. And don't confuse the ∅ (empty set) with the Ø (island in Norwegian) used in the title of this album and some of the tracks - it's insularity that's being asserted here. An island-continent made…
Chadbourne Volunteer Fire Department And Rescue Squad
"About the type of music," Alessandro Bianco wrote me, "I was thinking of a solo banjo country impro experimental protest songs record." I used Alessandro's list as a way to organize my favorite recordings from the last few years, not only the genre or stylistic labels but the order in which he presented them. I made up a rule that the tracks could be used if they fit one or more of the words he used in his description-but only in the order he listed them! In this way I chose tracks that I would…
By The North Sea
Following on from Mark Fisher & Justin Barton’s On Vanishing Land and Kode9’s Astro-Darien, the third release on Flatline, Hyperdub’s sub label for audio essays and sonic fiction, is By the North Sea by Robin Mackay, philosopher and founder of the UK publisher Urbanomic.
The project is a sonic exploration of the perplexities of time, disappearance, and loss, channelled through the fictions of H.P. Lovecraft, the speculative mythos of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (Ccru), and the ghost of…
Astro-Darien
*2025 stock* Astro-Darien is a 26-minute sonic fiction about the break-up of Britain narrated by synthetic Scottish voices and framed as an eponymous video game. It is the 2nd vinyl release on Hyperdub’s sub-label Flatlines and its dark green 10” comes packaged in a triple gatefold sleeve, with artwork by Kode9’s long time collaborators Lawrence Lek & Optigram. Whereas the first release on the label, Mark Fisher and Justin Barton’s ‘On Vanishing Land’, wove an audio essay around a walk along t…
On Vanishing Land
*2025 stock* Hyperdub launch new sub-label, Flatlines, for the vinyl and digital release of On Vanishing Land, an audio-essay by Justin Barton and the late Mark Fisher. OVL evokes a walk along the Suffolk coastline in 2006, from Felixstowe container port ("a nerve ganglion of capitalism") to the Anglo-Saxon burial ground at Sutton Hoo. A walk under immense skies, through zones of deep time and within sunlit, liminal terrains, into the eerie.
Everywhere there are charged atmospheres, shadowy incu…
At My Mother's Piano
Japanese visual artist & musician Yoshino Shigihara returns with the vibrant, beautiful music of her main project Yama Warashi (translates as ‘small childlike mountain spirit’) on new EP ‘At My Mother's Piano’.
Enriched by the kaleidoscopic influence of Japanese folk dance, free jazz, African music and psychedelia, Shigihara illustrates the ever-evolving qualities of Yama Warashi on ‘At My Mother’s Piano’, crafting exquisite, improvisational solo piano works interlaced with vivid field recording…
Glory Fades
*300 copies limited edition* Glory Fades is a song book written using a common collaborative musical language developed by Yair Elazar Glotman and Mats Erlandsson, building intimate musical spaces, primarily focused on acoustic instrumentation with electronic counterparts contributing light and shade. Throughout the eight songs on the record, each piece unfolds according to its own logic while simultaneously reflecting the overarching tonality of the song book as a whole. The music focuses on th…
A Consommer Sans Modération
Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-ind…
Whistle from Above
Reinvigorated by months of shutdown woodshedding, David Grubbs developed new works for guitar, as well as a piano piece and an exceptionally eerie bit of musique concrète. Inspired by the deep dive into Gastr del Sol’s duo magic that facilitated last year’s compilation box, David opened his deeply personal solo pieces for engaging conversational gambits with modern masters Rhodri Davies, Andrea Belfi, Nikos Veliotis, Nate Wooley, and Cleek Schrey.
They Blessed The Body Breadcrumbed
*150 copies limited edition* "Now here’s a surprise, a solo album by Renaldo M is due for release on Klanggalerie. Called ‘They Blessed The Body Breadcrumbed’ it is a 13 track collection of original songs, most of which were started during the period Renaldo & The Loaf were not together. It features guest musicians Nolan Cook, Mike Howlett and Frank Pahl. With some very extended gaps in between, it has taken over 30 years to complete but is finally done!" Renaldo M. aka Brian Poole is half of Br…
Turnar
Acclaimed Icelandic theremin musician Hekla returns with Turnar, her third album of devastatingly heavy, spectral soundscape-songwriting, entering a sublime paranormal plane of haunting dread. Now augmenting her virtuosic solo theremin work with cello, voice, and the sacred church organ of Icelandic master Kristján Hrannar, the evolution of Hekla’s unique magic summons new worlds with Turnar. The album was recorded partly in (and named after) a medieval castle tower in rural France, its ruinous …
Kroppskännedom
*100 copies limited edition* In his late forties, Andreas Malm is releasing his first solo album. So where has he been hiding all these years? In plain sight, it seems. The past few decades, he’s been a staple in the music scene of Malmö, Sweden. From the free-rock outbursts of Fria Konstellationen to the tapedrones of Amph, the synthscapes of Skeppet and probably best known, the minimalist rockquartet Eternal Music Society: it’s fair to say he’s been around. Just not all by himself. As Kroppskä…
Antigone
Big tip! Antigone is Eiko Ishibashi’s latest musical masterwork, one rife with chilling speculations for the future calling from inside her own head. Out March 28th, it marks Eiko’s first “traditional” songcraft album — that is, with lyrics and singing — since 2018’s acclaimed The Dream My Bones Dream, arriving on the heels of her celebrated soundtracks for Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s films. Within Antigone, Eiko teases out images from a dystopia not unlike the one we’ve already got. Hers is suffused wi…
