Tip! *Limited edition of 199 copies. White vinyl 2023 repress* Grim is the one-man project of Jun Konagaya - formed from the ashes of White Hospital, his legendary early 1980s noise duo with Tomosada Kuwahara - which, accepting a long hiatus in the middle, has bridged the worlds of industrial music, power electronics, and noise for nearly three decades. Belonging roughly to the first wave of Japanese noise, Konagaya is particularly noteworthy among his peers for casting an eye further afield, dr…
Audience
A group of people is looking back on a collective experience, unsure if they were part of this situation or merely outside spectators. While they talk them selves through the event, one starts to mutate as different objects in the environment starts to behave in strange ways. Then the space suddenly completely transforms, and they start to realise how everything in this reality has a changeable and rather diffuse nature. Performed by Karis Zidore, Miriam Kongstad, Jakob Littauer, Cæcilie Trier, …

Symphonie Of Flowers
*2023 stock* William Hooker has been recognized as one of the most innovative musicians and drummers of his generation, leading a variety of ensembles within the worlds of free jazz, experimental, and new music. Hooker's prior collaborators range from avant garde jazz musicians to indie rock legends like Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth. On his latest work, “Symphonie of Flowers”, Hooker weaves three sections into a whole, or a “symphonie” of sorts. As he says, “the piece begins and…
Mindfulness
Recorded live at Slim’s in San Francisco, Mindfulness is the brilliant soundscape created by drummer William Hooker, along with Glenn Spearman on tenor saxophone and DJ Olive. The five Hooker compositions flow into each other, one after another, seamlessly, as if to take the listener on a musical voyage through time and space. The layers of vibrant sound, accompanied by trashing drums and shrieking sax show the incredible ability of each musician to take their instrumental vocabulary to a new le…
Reste Envie
"To need, to be needed, in four corners. Sleep and privacy, gases come and gases go, and now you are the only one in the room you sit in, you are one with the room you sit in, as if there are no negatives and no positives--did you know that you are an extension of your apartment? Did you know that you are in a codependent relationship with your apartment? Did you know that your apartment knows and appreciates all of your secrets?--I feel safe, which is not a new need for human beings, but a very…

The album was recorded and produced in Amsterdam and R…
Lettre Ouverte Aux...
"Love, kindness and sincerity characterized his life and his work. He was a man, a rebel and a poet, all at the same time. He served art through his poetic and musical virtuosity, and through his art, he served the struggle of his people for survival: Imi d-luleɣ d aqbayli, isem-iw imenɣi (in Kabyle since since he was born Kabyle: “They call me struggle”). After many brushes with death, he always came back with more vigorous, courageous and sensitive to the world. He was a legend in his lifetime…

After Raï Party, 1992-2008
Except from Rachid Taha, who allowed himself a few forays into the teeming, vibrant heaths of techno, no raï singer other than Cheb Malik has ever ventured into this terrain known for its abundance of sound. If you know about Malik Adouane's ancestry, this is hardly surprising. Born in Librecourt, near Lens, he comes from a union between an Italo-Celtic mother who instilled Western sounds into his ears and a father, a former miner born in Biskra (north-east Algeria), a palm grove near the desert…
Atomic Butterfly
*Deluxe limited edition* One-part groovy fun, another part sixties British Pop, Atomic Butterfly is a hip-shaking toe-tapper of a record from start to finish. Produced by Barry Stoller, the album is a sure highlight in the infamous DeWolfe collection. Featuring Stoller on guitar, the album includes the thematic ("Funky Spider"), cinematic ("Groundunder:), ecstatic ("Boobs"), and erratic ("Mighty Mouse"). With melodic lines from the horn section and deep in-the-pocket drum grooves, the album will…
Black Pearl
*Deluxe limited edition* "Originally released in 1973, Black Pearl's overall sound is the epitome of cool, orchestral funk / dramatic styles of the 1970s (e.g. “Next Stop LA”, “Collect”, “Oh! Militia”, “Choctaw”, “Black Pearl”, and “Blue Shadow”). Also featured are several more romantic, laid-back, emotive pieces such as “Miraculous Dream”, “Tryst”, “Sunny Monday”, “Melody and Lace”, “Monochrome”, “No Return”. Not to mention a couple of surprise solo honky-tonk piano jaunts – “The Vamp” and “Nig…
LACE
Tip! There’s music inside of lace stitching, and electro-acoustic composer, improviser, and harpist Zeena Parkins has spent years finding it. Her lace pieces use images of lace as musical scores for ensembles to play, building webs of sound that emerge from its contours. LACE is a boxset of artifacts including an LP of two of Parkins’ multi-movement works, “LACE I.” and “LACE II.,” presented for the first time on recording. The pieces were performed by percussionist William Winant, electronic mu…
Altars
*2023 stock*
A cycle of primitive and ethereal.Building monoliths as Altars. A Hearth.The main centre of these pieces are weathered landscapes, crumbling rocks, erosion eating away at stones, chaos of overgrowth, the deep time of constant crumbling and occlusion. Passage of storms, rebuilding of momentum, weathered souls.A cyclical altar, an eroded homecoming.A lyrical desolation.
From the artist:
"The narrative of the entire record is loosely based on the concept of deep time, a temporal scale …

Borrowed Tongue
Borrowed Tongue is the debut solo album by Korean singer-songwriter Minhwi Lee. It’s a mysterious, strangely compelling thing, an album of rare poetry, and remarkably self-assured. Originally released in November 2016, the album made waves, winning best folk album of 2016 at the 14th Korean Music Awards. Its eight songs, written and predominantly arranged by Lee, don’t reveal their secrets easily, or at first blush; rather, they take their time slowly to unfurl in her listeners’ worlds. There ar…
