Destino Scifosi
Power trio brought together by Yann Gourdon on hurdy gurdy, Jérémie Sauvage on bass and Mathieu Tilly on drums, France take drone and minimalism at their most ecstatic and massive
Leave Another Day
2025 Repress. In the ever-expanding universe of ambient and minimal electronic music archaeology, certain discoveries feel more significant than others - those rare moments when a previously overlooked recording emerges to fill gaps we didn't even know existed in our understanding of the genre's evolution. Stroom's reissue of Milan W's Leave Another Day represents precisely such a revelation, offering contemporary listeners access to a work that exemplifies the sophisticated minimalism that flou…
Mirror Repair
2025 Repress. Three decades after its initial release, Gastr del Sol's Mirror Repair remains one of the most perfectly realized statements in the post-rock canon - a five-track EP that captured the crystalline moment when experimental precision met emotional immediacy. Now, Drag City presents a 2025 repress of this essential 1994 release, offering contemporary listeners the opportunity to experience the album that defined the creative partnership between David Grubbs and Jim O'Rourke at its most…

Water
Coherent States is excited to announce the release of "Water", a new cassette by the media artist Anna Schimkat. Drawing upon her background in sculpture and music, Schimkat's practice investigates the intersection of sound and spatial perception through immersive installations and performances. Highlighting themes of fluidity and interconnectedness, her work examines natural, social, and cultural phenomena, often within site-specific contexts. "Water", conceived during her residency at Salzamt …
Baboon and Chest
From the frayed edges of sounds that once hummed and the lingering ghost of forgotten amplifier feedback & the unanswered answering machine message echo, Glands of External Secretion return with their most different album until the next one. "Baboon and Chest" is a four-pronged stumble through the usual-yet-unusual and weird-yet-no-weird delightful auditory wreckage. This "collection" stitches together echoes across time, from 1987 to 2025 and from San Francisco and Long Beach then to Edinburgh …
Cosmic Clarinets
Clarinetist Michele Marelli channels Stockhausen’s visionary spirit in this album of works for clarinet, basset horn, and bass clarinet—joined by pianist Gianluca Cascioli in Tierkreis—merging cosmic intensity with masterful interpretation and devotion.
Achilles Tendon Rupture
The titans of Tokyo harsh noise, Incapacitants, return to tear another hole in the fabric of reality with "Achilles Tendon Rupture", their new full-length assault on Coherent States. This isn't just noise; it's a psychic evisceration, a full-body immersion in white-hot static, the gnashing of heavy electronics and distorted vocalizations clawing from the void. Incapacitants wield a uniquely particular sonic violence upon the listener. The dominant trademark of their sound is the feeling of asphy…
Fabbriche Silenti
“Silent Factories” is a sonic journey through abandoned industrial spaces, blending analogue photography with improvised electronic sounds and field recordings. The project explores the quiet reclamation of nature, inviting deep sensory and perceptual immersion.
Circuits
A moment of first encounters, Circuits is the sound of four musicians (Savvas Metaxas, Evi Nakou, Giannis Arapis, Dimitris Tigkas)navigating an unfamiliar terrain in real-time, their individual languages dissolving into a shared improvisational space. Subtle drones, resonant feedback and textural gestures underpin the ensemble’s interplay. Circuits is the sum of raw, expressive utterances—melodic remnants shifting from pulse to friction, from bow, to frets, through fingertips. A single-take impr…
Music to Watch Seeds Grow By 005: Stella Z (Fig)
Following the contemplative explorations of previous works in the series and hot on the heels of the beautiful Cosmos from E Ruscha, Stella Z's "Figs" emerges as a delicate meditation on growth, patience, and the hidden life of fruit. Recorded in London yet deeply inspired by distant memories from China, the album is a musical documentary that explores the fig—a plant with a profound personal significance to Stella. "The fig tree was the big, generous presence in our old home, feeding my family …
Corpos Putrefactos
Noise extravaganza, by ominous Corpos Putrefactos, issued by Kieh! Kieh!’s sister label, CSDCNM!
Just get it, before it rots away!
Split
Portuguese Funeral returns after a demo last year with 6 tracks of insane, experimental oddities. Highly original amalgamation of sounds from the fringes, conveyed in absolute mania, these tracks traverse from Dark/Synthwave music, to deconstructed Noise Rock, to infantile Industrial music and a lot of things in between. A tongue-in-cheek collage of demential philosophical madness.
CAB returns also following up to 2024’s “Roadkill” demo out on Rasga. Another release of transgressive Power Elect…
Eureka
2025 repress; originally released in 1999. Twenty-six years after its initial release, Jim O'Rourke's Eureka remains one of experimental music's most beautifully contradictory statements - an album that somehow manages to be utterly devoid of anything resembling conventional pop music while simultaneously being magnificent in scale, pleasant to listen to, catchy, and even reminiscent of records you might have heard on The Casey Kasem Show. Now, Drag City presents a 2025 repress of this essential…
Pérolas A Porcos
Rei Ghob, a Portuguese serial killer and rapist, was convicted for the horrific murders of three teenagers between 2001 and 2002. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his crimes.This tape includes a collection of his speeches, karaoke performances, and other content.
What's Going On?
*2025 stock* 1983. A distinct malaise afflicted the nation. The UK was about to re-elect Margaret Thatcher by a landslide, cruise missiles arrived at Greenham Common in Berkshire, six people were killed by the IRA outside Harrods, nuclear reactors suffered system failure in the USA, Russia, Argentina and Germany. The Face magazine showed an exhausted youth that everything was OK as long as you looked ‘right’. A curious revisionism had become prevalent. The Jam had become the Style Council and st…
The Mule Peasants Revolt Of 12,067
Certainly! Here’s a 300-character abstract in English:
Historically Fucked—four Manchester-based musicians—create eruptive, improvisational rock, blending voices, guitar, bass, and drums. Their album, “The Mule Peasants’ Revolt of 12,067,” fuses avant-garde chaos, primal energy, and playful experimentation, defying genre for raw, uncivilized sound.
