New Arrivals
Pohreb
Richard Hronský’s “Pohreb” uses intimate soundscapes—wood, radio, bird songs—to evoke childhood memories and the grief of loss, transforming personal audio diaries into a universal meditation on change, tradition, and time’s passage.
Three The Hard Way
Recorded in New Orleans and Kingston, this genre-defying album delivers innovative, timeless soundscapes for all listeners.
Carboniferous
May 2025 Latest release on ICR. Rhythmic drone music? After running IC Studio for over 40 years I’ve accumulated a large store of recordings by both myself and the many people I’ve worked with. I was recently looking for some masters of another band on a hard drive, where I stored tracks that had been transferred from old digital tapes. I noticed the folder ‘Period Remixes’ which I decided to open, as I hadn’t listened to the material for many years. The tracks were remixes of Jonathan Coleclogh…
Tea Time
"If you think that the constellation of Nicholas Bussmann, Sven-Åke Johansson and Yan Jun is a sort of dream lineup, you are not far off the mark. The joint improvisations that you hear on tea time capture a sound that once came to Bussmann in a dream and that he made a reality with the help of his fellow musicians. The trio recorded the five pieces across two days at Johansson’s SÅJ studio with engineer Andrew Levine, working with Bussmann’s curious piano robot while Johansson was on percussion…
Meshes Of The Evening
"The beauty and power of Meshes of the Evening doesn’t come from isolated passages or specific exchanges, no matter how exciting and satisfying they may be. What has riveted me each time I’ve listened to the music is how Davies and Beins occupy a single space together, totally aligned and in a zone that makes time irrelevant. It would be wrong to say they’re in a shared trance because music that’s so detailed and subject to constant transformation requires a heightened awareness. Yet Davies and …
Single# One
This 7" unveils rare Muslimgauze tracks from unlabelled DATs, featuring vibrant, rhythmic experiments—Side A with upbeat synths, Side B embracing dub textures—showcasing Bryn Jones’ relentless innovation.
An Insane Portrait

Orogénese
Originating from a Lisbon residency, Joana Guerra and Yaw Tembe’s duo explores slow, tectonic musical landscapes on ‘Orogénese.’ Their blend of eclectic instruments and ethereal voices crafts mysterious, timeless soundscapes, revealing hidden sonic futures through organic collaboration.
Snakes & Thunder
Snakes & Thunder explores the coexistence of meanings and sound as motion, focusing on balance, connection, and similitude. The album reflects on proximity and rhythm, inviting wandering, myth-making, and embracing the strange.

Oganesson Remixes

The EP includes the original version of “Oganesson” alongside five new remixes of the track created by collaborators and friends of the band, including poet and activist Saul Williams, prolific mastering engineer Heba Kadry, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, indie music icons Broken Social Scene, and International Anthem labelmate Makaya McCra…
La Tua Amica Più Cara / Corteggiamento Lento
We’ve fallen in love here at Four Flies. His name is Lumiero, he hails from Milan and writes songs that feel like postcards from a '60s dream, while still firmly rooted in today’s world. His vinyl debut, the 7-inch La Tua Amica Più Cara / Corteggiamento Lento, is infused with calypso, exotica, and refined orchestrations that flirt with jazz and the most elegant Italian songwriting. Produced and arranged by Marquis, whose sound evokes imaginary cocktails and summer melancholies, these two songs a…
Third Ear Band
For many bands, having all their gear stolen would be catastrophic. For Third Ear Band, this unfortunate 1968 incident opened a portal to beneficial change that would ultimately define one of British experimental music's most singular statements. Now, Antarctica Starts Here presents the first-time vinyl reissue of the group's self-titled 1970 sophomore album - often called Elements due to its elemental track titles - complete with new liner notes by Dave Segal that illuminate this remarkable cha…
Thank You, Guitar
In the ongoing battle between technical virtuosity and authentic expression, most guitar "shredders" have chosen the wrong side - trafficking in overwrought drama while remaining devoid of soul, viewing music as competitive sport rather than spiritual exploration. Enter Cyrus Pireh, whose latest Palilalia release Thank You, Guitar represents nothing less than a revolutionary approach to "transcendental shred electric guitar music" that upcycles the despised 32nd-note neck sprint into something g…
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…
Mejor Me Voy / Vieja
For the first time on vinyl, two hidden gems from Eduardo Mateo’s songbook, recorded in Buenos Aires between 1968 and 1971 at the legendary TNT studios. These versions remained unreleased for over five decades… until now.

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…
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…
