Live Improvisations
Two long ambient improvisations facing each other: a 2014 session by Chihei Hatakeyama and Hakobune in rural Japan, answered by zakè and From Overseas in a single take. 160g black vinyl, edition of 400.
Treasure
Cocteau Twins' third album from 1984, the first with Simon Raymonde alongside Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie, reissued by 4AD on 180g vinyl with new masters from high definition transfers of the original analogue tapes.
Hi Viz Cantaloupe
Edition of 100 copies. Zach Cooper’s Hi Viz Cantaloupe feels true to the unlikely image in its name. It’s sticky, not-too-sweet, and has pronounced qualities that make it feel realer-than-real. Fans of Cooper’s previous work as ½ of King Garbage, as well as his co-creation credits with the likes of Leon Bridges, Kirby, and Moses Sumney, will be glad to get an even closer look at who he is. This short record pulls off bringing us into his world, a world some of us will find all-too familiar.
Hi V…

Live 79-81
You can recall John Lurie from his amazing performances in Jim Jarmusch ‘Permanente Vacation’ or ‘Stranger Than Paradise’ (even his cameo in Paris, Texas and Desperately Seeking Susan), but the long & tall man from Minneapolis is essentially an outstanding musician. From 1979 onwards he was the leader of The Lounge Lizards, a band he put together in downtown New York with the help of brother Evan (piano, organ), Arto Lindsay (on guitar), Steve Piccolo (on bass) and Anton Fier on drums. Their mus…

Hansten Klork
Originally released in 1980 and long regarded as one of the most avant‑garde statements of its era, Hansten Klork captures Metabolist at the intersection of post‑punk restlessness and uncompromising experimentalism. The album’s stark textures, motoric rhythms, and hypnotic minimalism reveal a band equally indebted to kraut‑rock repetition, post‑industrial atmospheres, and the austere clarity of minimalism—creating a distinct, unsettling sound that still sounds contemporary today.
This reissue re…
The Alternative Counter Organization
Taco weaponise the very idea of “tako” - octopus, kite, bunion, drunk, bald head - into a mutating post‑punk organism, a rotating guerrilla cell whose songs behave like incidents rather than compositions.
