Papa's Ear
2025 stockJust over a decade ago, Japanese indie-pop duo Tenniscoats recorded »Papa's Ear« (2012) and »Tan-Tan Therapy« (2007), two albums made with musical and production help from Swedish post-rock/folk trio Tape. Originally released on Häpna, they are beautiful documents of the exploratory music made by a close-knit collective of musicians, fully at ease with each other, playing songs written by Tenniscoats and arranging them in gentle and generous ways. Released during a particularly product…
Joshua / Same Day Walking
Though packaged together, Joshua and Same Day Walking chart distinct worlds. Recorded in northern California and produced by Robby Moncrieff (Dirty Projectors, Zach Hill), Joshua is woolier and warmer, evoking haze, humidity, and overgrown Spanish moss. Meanwhile, Same Day Walking — recorded in Iceland and produced by Moncrieff alongside two-time GRAMMY-winning composer / sound designer Sam Slater (Joker, Chernobyl) — is, appropriate for its icier climes, windswept and beholden to the vast empti…
Seeds
Alan James Eastwood's glorious Seeds is a certified folk-funk lost-classic. But who was Alan James Eastwood? He had never hit the big time and commercial success eluded him. By the mid-1970s, his musical career was pretty much over and he was almost unknown except among deep heads, amongst whom he would gain cult status.
Original copies of the 1971 vinyl release of Seeds exchange hands for high sums, if you can find one. This expanded 2LP contains an extra record, collecting 9 rare non-album sin…
A L'Entrée Du Temps Clair
Veronique Chalot’s A L'entrèe du Temps Clair, released in 1982, is a luminous exploration of early French folk traditions. Backed by Italian musicians and employing instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, bouzouki, and bagpipes, Chalot’s distinctive voice and delicate arrangements breathe new life into ancient ballads, fusing medieval atmospheres with timeless musical sensitivity.
Friends
H&F Recordings’ album Friends, sometimes known as Fragile, is a rediscovered gem of early 1970s British psych-folk. Crafted by Peter Howell and John Ferdinando, this collaborative project—originally issued as a private press—displays gentle harmonies, intricate acoustic textures, and a disarmingly intimate approach, now remastered for fresh ears after decades of semi-mythical obscurity.
Clinamen (Book)
The genealogy of Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's aquatic, immersive, multisensory installation, developed in over twenty versions over thirty years. Clinamen is published on the occasion of the installation of a monumental version of Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's work in the Rotonde of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection during Summer 2025. "These blue islets, their surface dotted with floating white porcelaine emispheres, like the atoms of an endlessly renewed musical form - drifting, collidi…

Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark
Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark, the third full-length from Gwenifer Raymond, finds the Welsh guitarist deepening her American primitive explorations with a turbulent, spectral intensity. Across ten instrumental tracks for solo guitar and banjo, Raymond braids the darkness of Appalachian nights with the cosmic anxieties of science fiction, displaying fierce dexterity and meditative nuance.
Horizoning
Horizoning, the sole album from Stefan Gnys, emerges as a deeply atmospheric and personal artifact of 1969, where raw, introspective songwriting meets lo-fi folk production. Long considered a Hamilton cult rarity, the reissue preserves Gnys’s solitary voice and sensitive arrangements—acoustic guitar, subdued backing, and confessional lyrics—making each note resonate with fragile honesty.

The album distinguishes itself by merging Americana atmospheres with experimental nuance, embodying a distinctive voice within contemporary mi…
Canciones De Amor
With five albums released, several tours around Spain, Europe, Uruguay and the United States in which he has paired among others with Geoff Farina (Karate) or Glenn Jones and even performed at the legendary John Fahey tribute festival in Takoma Park, Maryland (The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose), the passing of time has consolidated Isasa's musical career to the point of winning the praise of such exquisite critics as Byron Coley or Wire magazine, the blessing of masters of the new guitar suc…
What Is It That Ever Was?
"Vinylization of a tour CDR, Josephine recorded at home around the time of A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (2006). Accompanying herself on guitar and piano, with some drum and vocal help from Brian Goodman, the album is a glorious once-lost-now-found piece of the fascinating musical puzzle that is the music of Josephine Foster. While Foster's music is clearly consonant with the current trends in avant-völk music (here, especially, on her wild readings from the Tibetan Book of Dzyan), another large po…
Ali Toure Farka
On Ali Toure "Farka", the legendary Malian guitarist and singer presents a nuanced journey through desert blues, crafting hypnotic grooves and lyrical vignettes that connect tradition with a restless creative spirit. Touré's mastery lies in the interplay of voice and guitar, exploring personal and cultural landscapes across languages and styles.
Water & Rock Music Vol. 5 & 6
Edition of 200 copies Another wonderful album by this Swedish-based guitarist/carpenter. This is the fourth (and I believe final, at least for now) addition to Collin’s series of site-based outdoor recordings. The first three were stellar examples of Jon’s finger-thinking, and this one is as well. He seems to have embraced a romantic form of melodicism over the course of these albums, contrasting with some of the harsher blues evocations he’s explored recently. And as much as I enjoy everything …
Hamewith
A Happy Return’s Hamewith distills a quietly radiant folk minimalism that feels both homespun and transcendent. Built from acoustic sketches, tape hiss, and pastoral fragments, the record reflects on belonging, landscape, and impermanence—its short pieces flickering like field recordings of emotion, half-remembered but deeply intimate.
Muluken Mellesse with the Dahlak Band (Ethiopiques)
Muluken Mellesse with the Dahlak Band is a classic Ethiopian album, originally released in 1976 and now reissued as part of the prestigious Ethiopiques series. The recording captures Muluken at the height of his powers, delivering emotionally charged vocals over the Dahlak Band’s vibrant blend of afrobeat, funk, and Ethio-jazz. This set embodies the golden era of Ethiopian popular music, marked by complex horn arrangements, subtle groove, and enduring melodies.
The Velvet Underground
2025 stock Vinyl LP repressing of this iconic album. The Velvet Underground was the third album by Lou Reed and his cohorts. It was their first record to feature Doug Yule, John Cale's replacement. The album's sound - consisting largely of ballads and straight-forward rock songs - marked a notable shift in style from the group's previous recordings.
Tom Winter, Tom Spring
Debut LP by the duo of Gangloff and Joynes, finding novel ways to combine their accomplished takes on avant folk, American primitive, and outsider sound into a unique and beautiful jumble. Side A’s “Rapid City” is a brisk fingerpicked jaunt featuring Joynes’ unique acoustic/electric hybrid sound, followed by “West Cavalier” where Gangloff’s sawing fiddle and Joynes’ guitar take on a straight mountain-style tune. “Two Bishops” is a languorous and atmospheric Joynes’ guitar feature that slips into…
