Tip! Benjamin Bennett has worked as an improvising percussionist for 10 years, touring North America and Europe as a soloist, in various ensembles, and ad-hoc collaborations. He developed a unique approach to percussion which took the lineage of free-jazz, free-improvisation, Berlin reductionism, and extended technique playing as its foundation. In searching for an expanded sonic palette, and more fluid movement between various techniques, he distilled the drumset into a small collection of drum…
For Those Who Wish to Sing Will Always Find a Song
One night, not too long ago at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ryan Sawyer introduced his piece, “For Those Who Wish to Sing, Will Always Find a Song.” He invited the audience to sing along at any point they felt moved to, “just abstract ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs,’ or ‘oms,’ or whatever.” The small stage was crowded with musicians – The Shaker Ensemble – which that night included Jessica Pavone on viola, Nate Wooley on trumpet, Laura Cocks on flute, Stuart Bogie on clarinet, cellist Lester St. Loui…
Ratio-Konditio
Original copies of this super rare single, comes in standard white cover. A fascinating glimpse into one of contemporary art's most intensive collaborations has emerged in the form of Arnulf Rainer & Dieter Roth's 'Ratio-Konditio gespräch', a rare 7" single that captures the raw creative dialogue between two titans of European avant-garde art. From 1973 to 1980, Swiss-German artist Dieter Roth (1930-1998) and Austrian abstract expressionist Arnulf Rainer (b. 1929) forged what would become one of…

Joy, Oh I Missed You
Lucy Duncombe and Feronia Wennborg compose a modern symphony for virtual choir on 'Joy, Oh I Missed You', muddling sound poetry with Nuno Canavarro and ‘Systemische'-style machine-damaged surrealism. It's mindbogglingly good, like a mashup of Lee Gamble's 'Models', Akira Rabelais' 'Spellewauerynsherde' and Robert Ashley's timeless 'Automatic Writing’ screwed to perfection in a mode that will also appeal if you’re into work by Kara-Lis Coverdale, Nozomu Matsumoto, Theo Burt, Olli Aarni, Sydney Sp…
Stenhjärta 2 (LP)
The second album from Stenhjärta follows up Gryning Kommer Röd (Grapefruit Records, 2024) and very much continues in the same vein while approaching a rather damn catchy pop song format at times. Fear not, Stenhjärta is still a group heavily rooted in the Swedish prog/folk tradition of the 70's, the 13 songs here just showcases a somewhat wider scope, the duo taking things a notch further with more elaborate songwriting and a whole slew of wonderful A-sides along the often damaged ride. Lyricall…

Hum Dono
Released in 1969, 'Hum Dono' is a legendary 'lost' British jazz plate, described by Trunk as the best modern British jazz LP of all time that will set you back a good £2000 second hand - if you're lucky enough to find a copy. Its beguiling mix of East meets West rhythms, ideas and joy pits Jamaican free jazz virtuoso Joe Harriott and Indian guitarist Amancio D'Silva against some of the UK jazz elite's most essential players. Blending library-style exotica with tabla rhythms, cascading vocals and…

Relativity Suite
*2025 much needed repress!* Reissue of Don Cherry's 'Relativity Suite', recorded with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra in 1973. At this time, Cherry was becoming increasingly interested in Middle Eastern and traditional African and Indian music, having traveled extensively and studied with Indian musician Vasant Rai. This suite of songs was particularly influenced by the Indian karnatic singing tradition, as can be heard from the very opening moments of the album. Featuring Carla Bley on piano, Cha…

Original artwork by Vincent de Boer. Despite how governments and multinational corporations try to isolate us from one another, we can’t make it alone without our shoal. To truly have a shoal, we need to accept each …
Medusa
Dead Janitor is the alter-ego for Slovak electronic technician Braňo Findrik. Over the past decade, he has steadily produced a series of digital releases leading to his debut Medusa LP for Urbsounds. With an arsenal of pixelated breakbeats and stuttering samples, Dead Janitor presents an adventurous form of polymetric electronica, echoing the complex IDM explorations of the pioneering work of Aphex Twin and Autechre. Medusa is an apt title for the album that hybridizes digital and analogue techn…
Satyricon '79
** LP + Poster. Edition of 300 copies ** In the world of theatrical archives, there are the known, the unknown, the forgotten, and the lost.

This radical sonic work, integrating extended vocal techniques, Balinese instruments, and pioneering whale song recordings, stands as t…
Musica su Schemi
A testament to one of Italy's most radical musical experiments, now available in this carefully crafted limited edition for a new generation of adventurous listeners.
Canyon Blood
Darkly romantic and steeped in candlelit dread, Canyon of Blood is the new full-length album from The Garden Gate. Built around brooding string arrangements, vintage synthesizers, and harpsichord-toned textures, the record conjures a lush, haunted landscape, part western mirage, part baroque hallucination. Laced with 60s occult psych influences and underpinned by dusty drum machines, Canyon of Blood feels like Morricone scoring a fever dream rather than a duel. It’s music that floats somewhere b…
Backside
300 copies in Dark Crystal vinyl. The enigmatic sound architects of Nurse With Wound return with Backside, a haunting new studio album that bridges four decades of underground sonic archaeology. Released through Rotorelief in an exquisite limited edition pressing, this latest opus represents Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles at their most revelatory, breathing new life into fragments of the long-lost Bladder Flask sessions from circa 1980. The paths of Nurse With Wound and Richard Rupenus's Blad…
