Lisa Wants to Talk to You
Vinyl actualization of a Gary Wilson album originally released on CD in 2008. The second of Feeding Tube's Wilson retrievals (following 2011's Forgotten Lovers, FTR 065LP), the label considers this the most solid of Gary's post-revival albums. While it goes in a slightly different musical direction than the deranged porn-lounge inventions of You Think You Really Know Me (the classic '77 LP, heisted in toto by Beck during his Odelay phase), the naif-ache of the lyrics and the music's laid-back…
Gour
New works by Swiss musique concrete composer and visual artist Marc Zeier / G*Park. Active since the early 80's Zeier was a founding member of the Schimpfluch-Gruppe. He lives and works in Zürich as a composer, installation- and video-artist and plankton fisherman. Gour presents one long composition of his highly fascinating and unique crypto electro-acoustics based solely of micro field-recordings and natural phenomena. 'Musique concrete seems eternally old-fashioned and eternally modern…
Son of Octabred
come close to capturing the bewildering brilliance of this bizarre instructional Birthing album recorded somewhere in Alaska in 1982 and resurfacing now on a first-ever vinyl pressing, thanks to the supreme Ethno-musicological skills of Andy Votel and his Dead-Cert imprint. Utilizing the ARP 2600, ARP Odyssey, Polymoog, harmonica/synthesizer interface, Eventide Omnipressor, Roland vocoder and genuinely bizarre narration imploring the listener to "push..." over a background of retro-futuri…
Electronic Music, Tar and Sehtar
Limited 2015 repress, regular printed sleeve this time; available early May. This release will undoubtedly be met by the same deep breaths that have been shared by the small group of collectors who, over the past few years, have held original copies of this rare Folkways release in such high regard. In simple terms this LP is the kind of record you wished existed while nothing really came close to the mark. Respectfully and subtly combining traditional Persian instrumentation, modular synt…
Feeling Romantic Feeling Tropical Feeling Ill
Mica Levi has already more or less owned our year with the release of that astonishing soundtrack to Jonathan Glazer’s ‘Under the Skin’, but this new hour long album-cum-mixtape for Demdike Stare’s DDS imprint has just completely blown us away. Mica is an artist who basically seems to channel attention deficit into exploring and re-shaping a myriad musical ideas and directions without bound - sometimes all at once. She’s an artist who has by her mid-20’s merged the disciplines of codeine-…
Relaps/Archives 1984-1986
First limited edition: solid blue, black and clear mixed vinyl. Gatefold sleeve. Founding members of the original "Rock In Opposition" (R.I.O.) movement and the inventors of "chamber rock," mythic Belgian band Univers Zero have continued to change and grow and develop over their entire career, while still keeping an ensemble sound and spirit that is easily recognizable. These recordings were previously unavailable in an LP format. Longstanding dark-hued Belgian chamber rockers and avant-pro…
Musica su schemi
2015 repress. In the early 1960s, Franco Evangelisti assembled Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, a collective of Italian composers, aspiring to revolutionize composition through group improvisation and -like their peer, Karlheinz Stockhausen-musique concrète, aleatory (controlled chance) techniques and early electronic music. One significant influence in the studio was their use of chess to define key parameters of their music. Musica Su Schemi is unpredictable, fluid and always marked…
Rustl
Italian electro-acoustic maestros Giuseppe Ielasi and Nicola Ratti, aka Bellows, serve an engrossing, labyrinthine LP of freeform concrète dub on our occasional Boomkat Editions label. 'Rustl' is Bellows' 4th album following a critically acclaimed trio of LP's released since 2007 for Entr'acte, Planam and Kning Disc, and also follows our last release by another Milanese artist, Lorenzo Senni, which was coincidentally also mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. In a slight change from their usual wo…
Vegas Fountain
Vegas Fountain is the new full length album from Copenhagen based industrial duo Damien Dubrovnik (aka Posh Isolation founders Loke Rahbek and Christian Stadsgaard). Since 2013’s ‘First Burning Attraction’ LP, Rahbek and Stadsgaard have continued to be consistently busy as label bosses but even more so as artists, performing more frequently worldwide and building a reputation for their fierce and powerful live show. It was during this time as well that the duo honed their craft in the stu…
The Midnight Doctors
2013 Release. Although a live show is now on the horizon, The Midnight Doctors was initially conceived of purely as a recording project- a collage of styles and approaches, not definable by any of its individual constituent parts- which include scored pieces, structured improvisations, (mostly) loving pastiche, cut-up jams, hi-fi & lo-fi textures, electroacoustic flourishes, both studio and home/location recordings.
The record mutates and exaggerates various absorbed inspirations from th…
Croce
Father Murphy, one of the most mysterious and enigmatic musical entities to emerge from Italy in recent years, presents their fifth full-length via The Flenser. This dark psychedelic / industrial cabaret is a religion-themed concept album titled Croce (“Cross” in Italian), one side representing suffering and sacrifice and the flip reflecting what comes after—the end of suffering, resurrection, or perhaps oblivion. The work was recorded by John Dieterich in Albuquerque, NM, and mixed by Gr…
Live At Stone
The trio of Chris Corsano (drums), Okkyung Lee (cello) and Bill Nace (guitar) performing live at John Zorn's NYC improv club The Stone in 2014, three free improvising titans of the modern age in a very limited LP
Light On A Wall
New album from Mike Cooper recorded live on Radio Lebanon in Beirut. Cooper plays electric lap steel and sings several of his 'Spirit Songs' - a body of vocal works that he has been presenting live over the past few years. These 'songs' are constructed by chopping up - (William Burroughs /Brion Gysin/Tom Phillips style) - Gravity's Rainbow and V - two novels by Thomas Pynchon. No chords, melodies or harmonic patterns for each song are planned prior to them being performed. Both accompanime…
Nostra Signora Delle Tenebre
There was a time in Italy when movies did not suck. Or at least, when they sucked, they did it in a graciously peculiar way.Alongside the world-famous auteurs (the Fellinis, the Viscontis, the Bertoluccis), there was a plethora of lesser known, critically unappreciated directors, often mockingly called cinematografari, frantically tackling (and twisting) every kind of movie genre: western, comedy, thriller. For some reason, they excelled especially in their wild, sick take on horror and cr…
Vamos A Matar, Companeros
"Vamos a matar, compañeros" is a western film of 1970 directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring Franco Nero, Tomas Milian, Jack Palance. To assemble this album (only a 45 rpm single was issued) the stereo master tapes of the original recording session were used and properly restored.
Tibet
Grey-area LP reissue, originally released as Eternal Now on Sonet Records in 1973. Don was living in Sweden at the time and made 2 great spaced-out records (in the freeform "Universal Music" style) for Sonet (Live Ankara being the other) -- the prior CD reissue of this material has seemingly disappeared into the wind. If this album had been made by some Vietnam vet living in a windowless cove in Northern California -- with a picture of leaves on the cover, no less -- it would have made the NWW l…
Progressive Percussions
Eddie Warner, born in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1917, was one of the leading figures in European exotica in the 1950s, operating from France, where he ended up at after the war. His repertoire of styles included several kinds of jazz- and Latin-based dance music such as mambo, baião, and chachachá, but, as a tireless explorer, he also found refuge in the library music and electronic sounds department. A cornerstone of his work in that field, Progressive Percussions, was originally released i…
Balbakken
"Balbakken, Oktober - April, 2012 - 2013" is a sound composition made in collaboration between Marcellvs L. and Munan Øvrelid. To create the work, the two artists began with studies made by Nils Øvrelid, a retired mathematician, who spends part of his spare time observing birds. During the winter of 2012-2013 he methodically recorded the different actions of the birds in the tree in his yard: their relations with the alterations of temperature, the types and number of birds, the time and …
Partir To Live: Original Soundtrack Recording
Partir to Live (2012) is a non-narrative film experience in sensations, in ethical confusion, and in physical and psychic contusions, directed by Domingo Garcia-Huidobro of Föllakzoid. Dutch minimalist composer Jozef van Wissem’s score for the film consists of appropriated 12-string electric guitar drone, black baroque lute mirror images, and minimal electronics. For the first time ever, Sacred Bones Records will release the DVD and soundtrack LP together in a limited one-time pressing of …
A Readymade Ceremony
Relocated in the french Alps following a 5 years exile in Belgium, Felicia Atkinson returns on Shelter Press with A Readymade Ceremony, a concrete / post-digital oratorio in 5 parts.Composed and recorded at home and on the Oregon coast, the opus documents a full range of bridges happening in Atkinson’s work. It documents the gather of her early-musical studies with her actual musical practice, the reunion of her two main projects — under her own name and Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier — and finally …
