Breathing Under Honey
purely physical teeny tapes perform an invaluable public service in exhuming static cleaner lost rewards breathing under honey from the heady year o 2023, a slack-jawed riddle within the all-consuming enigma that is thee world of tarquin manek.
few records command a reissue so soon after their release, the soil heaped atop the (sainted) low company corpse still remaining more than a little damp, but this ones discreet-to-the-point-of-fury initial release justifies the flogging of the proverbial …
The Double
Underpinned by spoken folktales stretching from Indonesia to Poland, a new collaborative EP from Warszawa/Berlin-based Jerzy Mączyński and London-based Flora Yin-Wong arrives via Accidental Meetings. Demons rising from the wind, unknown beings lurking in the forest – the record conjures a landscape built from heady layers of saxophone and the tormented strings of zither, harp, and kemence. Recorded across two intense studio sessions, the EP also features idiosyncratic contributions from London-b…
Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems
With Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, the ever elusive and shape-shifting Thomas Bush offers up a new album of category scrambling song craft. Since earlier solo efforts like Old And Red (2018), Preludes (2022) and The Next 60 Years (2024), Bush—currently based in Malmö—has traced a digressive path that has proven him capable of everything from murky wobbling dirges to uptight head-bopping laments to crystalline synth chords that hang precariously in the air over your new favourite bass …
Into The Cosmic Forest
*300 copies limited edition* Stone Music returns with Into the Cosmic Forest, a deep and patient journey into open-air improvisation. The group was founded in 2022 by Tokio Hasegawa, a core member of the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers, and brings together a wide circle of musicians from Japan’s ambient and experimental scenes. While the name is new, the spirit continues. Stone Music extends the free-form, site-responsive approach that defined Taj Mahal Travellers — music shaped by environment, d…
Musique Domestique
Musique Domestique marks the debut full-length from French duo Adiciatz, a project that emerges from the shared musical curiosity of Manon Nogier and Guillaume Lespinasse. Living near Lyon and making music together since before the pandemic, the pair developed their sound during lockdown improvisations at home — a creative process that quickly revealed a unique musical chemistry rooted as much in folk tradition as in experimental exploration. Drawing on a wide palette of influences — from Occita…
Crusta Arcana
*200 copies limited edition* "Archimboldos have clawed their way out of the starcaves of their primordial past and into the tranquil light of a coral garden on their third full length album, Crusta Arcana, a gumbo stewpot of transcendent electronica suffused with tribal rhythms and liquid ambience. Across a stereo field smeared with tolling bells, post-industrial folk percussion, and tinkling keys, Archimboldos soundtrack a science fictional journey, not into the depths of space, but deep beneat…
Sotto Le Nuvole
In Gianfranco Rosi’s portrait of Naples, Sotto le Nuvole (Pompei: Below The Clouds), the ground shakes periodically. Between Mount Vesuvius and theTyrrhenian Sea, the fumaroles of the Phlegraean Fields hiss volcanic gas and steam. Below the sleeping volcano, modern day Naples emerges in black and white and fills with voices, with lives. From the traces of history and the concerns of the present, Rosi documents a city immersed in its continuous past, with Daniel Blumberg’s minimal soundscape hove…
Sweet Love, Bitter
On Sweet Love, Bitter, Mal Waldron turns a fictional portrait of Charlie Parker’s final years into a darkly luminous suite of cinematic jazz. His lyricism, tension and blues‑stained restraint guide a formidable 1967 ensemble through music that moves beyond soundtrack function, making New York feel bruised, nocturnal and fiercely alive.
Electronic Music
Big Tip! Sukegawa's environmental music was heard by thousands of people, none of whom were listening. For more than a decade from the late 1980s he wrote music that played in the offices and research buildings of a large Japanese construction firm, composed by calculating backward from the response of the ceiling speakers it would emerge from, tested against questionnaires filled in by three thousand employees. It was never released, never performed in concert, never reviewed. It filled a space…
Informel
2 × 180g vinyl LP, Flating jacket, Obi. Deluxe edition. Informel emerged from the rupture of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and stands as the point of origin for the present-day Sinsuke Fujieda Group. With regular performance activity brought to a halt, Sinsuke Fujieda was given time to reconsider his own music at its deepest level, and to ask himself what the music was that he truly wanted to express now. His answer was to return to jazz as his foundation, and to pursue, through both compositio…
Live At Elastic Arts
* Edition of 100 copies * Two kits, facing each other, one night. On 10 April 2025 Lily Finnegan put a quintet on stage at Elastic Arts in Chicago with a second drummer sitting opposite her, and Bill Harris ran tape on it. Forty minutes, released here as three continuous parts, nothing reshaped after the fact. The second drummer is Vincent Davis, and the choice tells you a good deal. Davis is an AACM member with a Chicago pedigree that runs back through Roscoe Mitchell and Jodie Christian, along…
Sumptuous Branching
* Edition of 100 copies * Chant is the starting point. Not chant as decoration or as a mood, but late medieval chant as a compositional problem, taken up by someone working alone with a bass clarinet, a piccolo, her own voice and a rack of analogue electronics. Emily Rach Beisel has described what drew her to it: music from before the rules hardened, with a wild freedom and density that later codification would take away. Multiple voices, as she puts it, "both intertwined and independent." Which…
All I Know In the City
* Edition of 100 copies * Two people in a room, and not one moment of merging. That is what makes All I Know In The City remarkable, and it is not a small thing. Potliquor is the duo of pianist Sharon Udoh and turntablist Allen Moore, caught live at Elastic Arts in Chicago on 18 January 2026 and issued by Amalgam, the artist-run Chicago collective and label founded in 2015 by drummer and engineer Bill Harris, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the session. Amalgam has spent a decade documenti…
Burn the Plastic, Sell the Copper
* Edition of 100 copies * Two years of sessions went into this record, spread between 2023 and 2025 at Marmalade, the West Loop studio Ishmael Ali co-founded and works in as an engineer. Nobody was watching the clock. You can hear that in the shape of the thing: ten pieces that were never meant to add up to a single argument, solo cello miniatures wedged between full band tracks, a couple of them actual songs with words and a singer. The solo pieces may be the strangest part of it. Ali amplifies…
Goin’ Home
Albert Ayler did it once, and only once. On February 24, 1964, in New York, on the same day as the session that would become Spirits, he recorded a program of spirituals and standards with no screaming, no glossolalia, no demolition of form: "Goin' Home", "Ol' Man River", "Down By The Riverside", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Deep River", "When The Saints Go Marchin' In", "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen". Songs of suffering and salvation, played with a devotional restraint that hits harder th…
Voces del vacío resonante
*75 copies limited edition* The material suggests the idea. The idea emphasizes certain aspects of the material, and these could be physical and concrete, fully subjective, or something in between. For many years I've been drawn to the sound of urban and suburban spaces, and in particular I've been able to explore, in an empirical and non systematic way, the sonic environment of my street and neighborhood, with focus on the quiet moments in which one can almost hear the place breathing. Over tim…
spectral tenant
*75 copies limited edition* I have chosen my workplace environment in Dublin as my area of sonic investigation over the last year or so. Where it is or the history of it is not important as my focus is purely on the sonic character of the spaces and materials I find there, and the potential they hold for articulating noise in imaginative and engaging ways. My tendency is to go in deep and make a thorough range of recordings that give me more than adequate scope to draw on to create atmospheric c…
