Brussels collective Babils on a double LP drawn from its improvisation sessions as a sextet, at the crossroads of psychedelic rock, krautrock, new wave and free jazz. Dedicated to the late guitarist Michel Duyck.

American minimalist David Toub's second album with pianist Stephane Ginsburgh: repetitive, obsessive music that brings in Che Guevara's 1964 speech on the gap between a state's principles and its actions.

Walter Hus's tenth string quartet, Landscapes for a Lost Angel, played by the Zenne Quartet: a suite of 19 contrasting pieces written in the last months of his wife's life and dedicated to her memory.

The Zenne Quartet of Brussels plays Walter Hus: the String Quartets No. 7 Jeunesse and No. 6 Malinconia and the early piece Five to Five (1984), from a series of ten quartets that anchors the Belgian composer's work.

Second album by Brussels band Another Dancer: eleven songs of colourful, free-form art pop, laid out like a whodunit that never gets solved. Mixed by band members Michael Crabbé and Dries Robbe, with a cover painting by Dieter Durinck.

Elizabeth Vogler sings in Occitan and other South-West dialects to harmonium alone in the church of Lescun, in the Pyrénées: six songs between ancient folk and experimental music, third and final pressing, red cover.

*100 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2003, Requiem for Abandoned Souls returns as a double-LP reissue, marking the album’s first appearance on vinyl. Across 9 interlinked tracks, Peter Andersson’s raison d’être shapes an existential passage through desolation, faith and the possibility of inner renewal. Church bells, reverberating drones, metallic textures, discordant chimes, haunting chorals and sub-orchestral movements gather into a dark, immersive sound world. Sacral and arcane…

Originally released in 1977, Renaissance was Dailey’s only album for Catalyst and remains one of the real standouts from the label’s short but brilliant run. A pianist with serious depth, Dailey had already built a heavy CV by this point, working with names including Art Blakey, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughan, Charles Mingus and Woody Herman. On Renaissance, that experience comes through in full: strong compositions, fluid playing, and a band that knows exactly where to take the music. …

One of the Holy Grails of the first psychedelic era, the first edition of the Tripsichord album on the San Francisco Sound label was released in 1970 in minuscule quantities and has eluded collectors for decades. Here’s the first ever reissue with faithful reproduction of the original homemade sleeve with pasted on stickers, fabulous remastered sound, insert with detailed liner notes & photos / memorabilia plus download card. Tripsichord Music Box emerged from the San Francisco’s ’60s psychedeli…

*10 copies limited edition* The Modus Vivendi - You Are the Wooden Spoon, I Am the Casualty, was the 2nd release to be published under the Fr33zehead DIY collective back in 2006. Originally released, pre bandcamp, as a 5 track cd only to be sold at a handful of shows, it sees the MK based quartet’s movement away from their post-hardcore roots making way for a more dub laced avant-noise rock. Paired with early unearthed ‘Work Tapes’ the 20th anniversary reissue is erratically woven and sonically …

‘A Closer Darkness’ is the fourth album by Graculus, consisting of Richard Harding (guitar, ambiences) and Phil Hargreaves (woodwinds). Up to this point, Graculus has always been an acoustic project, with classical guitar and soprano sax/flute. On this album we have utilised Richard’s extensive pedal collection, and (following the footsteps of Bob Dylan) have gone electric. Glitchy loops, expansive washes and stuttering delays combine with the woodwinds to form surreal landscapes that evolve and…

Five long pieces by a film sound engineer from Ekaterinburg: drums recorded in the forest, a self-built guitar tuned in quarter tones, track titles taken from his working notes. Somewhere between folk, ambient and new age.

Anton Glebov's first solo album in years, recorded mostly alone in his Saint Petersburg studio in 2021 and 2022: spiritual jazz with Afro-Cuban and Latin rhythms, trumpet, and long new age pieces at either end. Double LP.
