Smash
Ixthuluh was a pure jam band that never played firmly rehearsed tracks or even foreign cover songs. The band chose not to practise some songs in a rehearsal room to perfect them, rather that everything played live was unique and unrepeatable. Ixthuluh was an Austrian Psychedelic Rock and Krautrock band active from 1975-1981 and never did a official release. “Smash” is their very first official output – 39 years after breaking up.
Proserpine
Circular patterns morphing through time, loop and ritual form the fabric of Proserpine, the latest work by Leeds-based musician, Teresa Winter. Recorded from a summer to a winter through 2021 and 2022, Proserpine is Winter’s most cohesive, focused music to date: confidently revelling in space, fixating on isolated sounds and giving way to satisfying, swirling waves of vocal and electronic buzz. Proserpine is Teresa Winter’s debut recording for Glasgow-based label, Night School. On Proserpine, mu…
Chaque Rémanence Se Rappelant À Son Souvenir Propre
Imagine a long walk along a path marked out by small granite walls. You meet people who tell you incredible stories. A dense journey from which you emerge transformed, intensely psychedelic.

Arnold Böcklin's Isle of the Dead with an industrial twist Abrasive kicks and rust in oil on canvas.Four tracks that take us far down the styx. A fine offering from this Leipzig-based duo from Brest, regulars on the hardcore techno scene.
Tourne-Disque
300 copies limited edition A siren sounds. Is it the keel coming to free the worker from her harsh task? Or the call of an iron whale inviting us to set sail for the depths? End of work, beginning of the dream: the grooves here will not be the fruit of plowing but moving reliefs to be explored. Because if there is indeed a paradoxical guide capable of activating the levers of such a liberation of esgourdes, by playing at will with the effects of sliding between the concrete and the abstract, the…

David Wallraf is a noise artist and theorist living in Hamburg.

Discorporation: The Original Soundtrack
Edition of 300. For his fourth Feeding Tube release, Curtis Godino (now a resident of the greater Nashville area) has created a soundtrack album for a destroyed film that exists only in his mind. Playing with a raft of fine musicians, unencumbered by having to match his music up with an actual extant images, Curtis has created a suite of tunes that are stylistically connected to his earlier works, yet expand themselves into hitherto unexplored realms. A well-regarded maestro of the organ and Mel…
Soft Focus : Volume Two
Tip! Edition of 250. It is absolutely appropriate the second volume of Wednesday Knudsen’s Soft Focus suite appears as spring finally begins to take hold. Like the brilliant first section of this work (the whole of which was initially released on CD), the music here is a celebration of shimmering sunlight and the awakening of nature’s tonal brilliance. But where the first LP focused on more bite-sized pieces of work, this one envisions and documents instrumental horizons that are ever expanding.…
Jennifer Gentle
*2024 stock* Jennifer Gentle are one of the most idiosyncratic Italian bands ever. Led by singer, guitarist and sometimes only member Marco Fasolo, they started their career in the early Noughties as slightly stoned-out-of-their-minds teens equally able to manage short psych pop explosions and 20-minute brain melting freakouts. They quickly recorded a couple of self-released albums that raised some interest abroad and became the first Italian band to sign to American label Sub Pop, releasing two…
Two Kings
Hand-numbered edition of 250. First record of the mysterious duo Two Kings (Ian Humberstone, founder of Folklore Tapes and Malcolm Benzie). Somewhere, lost in another plane of existence, a banished king searches in vain for his kingdom. This is King Herla, a man stricken by the spells of an unruly dwarf king and destined to ride the stormy skies for all eternity. But on All Hallow’s Eve, when the boundaries that separate his world from our own are somewhat porous, our protagonist spies his oppor…
Eine Nacht Volume Three
Volume 3. On September 13th, 2023 a musical collision occurred between The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol and Dead Sea Apes. With a room booked and a full moon glowing, the doors were locked and for the next 120 minutes, the nine members created nirvana/chaos where, with no direction, all possibilities were endlessly explored. Like hearing the lost Amon Düül recording you've waited 50 years for, Glenn Branca's wall of guitars, the shamanic cacophony of The Boredoms, psych melters Comets on Fire, an…

Nimbus
Blue Vinyl. Three Lobed and Sunburned Hand of the Man have a long history. The label has been releasing the group’s output for nearly two of its three decades of making music. As Sunburned has picked up momentum again in recent years, the label’s been right there, releasing the highly acclaimed "Pick a Day to Die" in 2020, and in late 2022 reissuing a 20th anniversary edition of "Headdress", the classic and confounding first Sunburned LP. Label head Cory Rayborn acted as the catalyst for storyte…
River Eye
*Edition of 150* "Piia Rinne, a Pori-based sound artist and textile designer, operates at the intersection of sonic experimentation and tactile craftsmanship, weaving a profound connection between these two mediums. Her debut vinyl, River Eye, released under Artsy Records, presents an evocative foray into experimental music, one that defies traditional genre classifications. Artsy, known for its dedication to "the trve experimental music heads," provides a fitting platform for Rinne's boundary-p…
Plant Music Vol.3 - The Golden Teachers
Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For years musician Nico Georis has used biofeedback instruments to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and existentially gorgeous. Nico’s work in plant music happened during a six year span, and was set in motion by a simple desire to find a fresh supply of long-form ambient music for relaxing to at home. After a chance encounter with an obscure technology dating b…
Hold That Tiger
Sonic Youth on Superior Viaduct!!! In October 1987, four months after the release of their critically acclaimed Sister LP, Sonic Youth showcased their latest work in a blistering set at Cabaret Metro, Chicago. The concert was introduced by Big Black's Steve Albini (who at the time was banned from the venue) and subsequently released as a semi-official bootleg under the title Hold That Tiger on writer/provocateur Byron Coley's impishly Geffen-baiting label Goofin' (years later the band would use …
Engelchen
Engelchen literally translates as ‘little angels,' and for many in the febrile, dangerous era of the 1930s in Nazi-occupied Europe, as they wrote letters to arrange their paths out of danger as refugees, these were Ida and Louise Cook. Ida and Louise spent much of their early years in Sunderland, and in adulthood lived in a suburb of London with their parents. They were enormous fans of opera, and led relatively quiet and unfussy lives, Ida working for the civil service as a secretary and Louise…
Live In Utrecht
2024 Stock. Edition of 200. The set was recorded on Sunday, May 28 2017 at the Snorfabriek in Utrecht by Andreas Geursen who spoke welcome and farewell. It took place as a Radio Resistencia Session, initiated by Martijn Van Gessel (Enfant Terrible / Vrystaete). "First record to hatch from the serpent’s egg of Würzburg’s Quirlschlängle and it will probably remain the only physical testament to the existence of now sadly defunct (?) NRW-duo Balint Brösel. This one has been captured live by the goo…
