Deux Adresses Anciennes
*50 copies limited edition* Insects chirp and rustle, birds are calling and chimes are being played, gently and patiently. A soft layer of lo-fi noise covers everything up like a thin and comfortable blanket. These are the nocturnal sounds that occupy the opening segment of ‘La Maison Forestière’ (The Forester's House). It seems the early dawning of the day, a moment of slowly waking up. The perfect moment for us, the listeners, to join this strangely familiar world of sound. Other percussive in…

Hi-Fi Flamingo
Tip! Edition of 66 numbered copies. Straight outta Jutland comes the new album by Denmark’s Lenny Kalimba. Set your ears adrift in warm scenic sounds, and watch them dance blissfully spasmodic. Homemade flutes, carved from a sacred bamboo bush burning with playful awe, float across the sonic spheres to mind-melt with protofunkoid kalimbas. Electronic beats and acoustic drums swing each other to a higher level of groove.
Recorded on tape for a warm listening pleasure, and hereby presented as a ta…
Then Again
November 1978. Henry Cow disbands after a decade of music that redefined the boundaries of experimental rock. November 2022. Four founding members return to the stage. Not to look back - but to improvise the present. Fred Frith (guitar, violin, electronics), Tim Hodgkinson (keyboards, saxophone, lap steel, electronics), Chris Cutler (drums, percussion), John Greaves (bass, vocals): the original core reunited under the name Henry Now. The key is in the name - as Clive Bell noted in The Wire, this…
Faust
Few debut albums arrive with the kind of self-contained logic and radical spirit found on Faust's self-titled 1971 statement. Released at the height of rock music's imperial phase, it marked the beginning of a project that would sidestep genre and expectation entirely, offering instead a fractured, exploratory take on what popular music could become. This Bureau B reissue offers a fresh opportunity to engage with one of the most curious and uncompromising records of its time. Faust emerged from …

Nazca Lines
*100 copies limited edition* "This album holds a special meaning for me, as it gave me the opportunity to reconnect with Pier Luigi, with whom I shared so much music in the early '80s. Together, we founded A.T.R.O.X., bonding over the intimacy that two people in love with music and the avant-garde scene can share. We spent countless evenings listening to records and creating music together.
Pier Luigi later pushed the boundaries of his work through incredible collaborations and received widespre…
Fata Morgana
In november 2017 I was on a guest visit at CalArts hosted by Michael Pisaro-Liu. It was the first time I was in California, but even though it was my first time there, the Californian landscape seemed oddly familiar to me. I remember when driving from the airport to Valencia (and CalArts) looking at the passing hills experiencing a sort of deja vu.
Even though the air was different and the colours and temperature was (very) different from that of the marsh landscapes of my childhood in Denmark,…

A Grammar for Listening
2008. Paris and Glasgow. Eric La Casa recording sounds for Luke Fowler's 16mm triptych. Not compositions but investigations into the infra-ordinary - that space-time at low intensity where background noise meets the inaudible. How to create a meaningful dialogue between looking and listening? This question drove Fowler's film cycle. La Casa's answer: find a listening point in relation to everything taking place. The microphones amplify all living substances in motion - from the interior of the b…

RE:Wilding
Ying Wang’s RE:Wilding presents five works shaped by sonic precision, cultural awareness, and political urgency. Acoustic instruments and electronics coexist without hierarchy, exposing noise, fragility, and quotation as structural elements. Rather than fixed messages, the music offers a field of tensions—between gesture and abstraction, control and collapse, presence and disappearance. References to social injustice, ecological crisis, and cultural memory are articulated through sharply drawn c…
Caged
After 25 years, Ian Boddy and Chris Carter’s rare underground classic Caged returns, remastered and expanded.
