*2026 stock* Released in April 1986, Victorialand finds Cocteau Twins creating a world of extraordinary delicacy and atmosphere. Built around Elizabeth Fraser’s otherworldly vocals and Robin Guthrie’s shimmering guitar textures, the album floats free of conventional rock rhythms, inviting listeners into a landscape shaped by sound, silence and feeling.
Recorded by Fraser and Guthrie as a duo, Victorialand takes a more spacious, restrained path than the band’s earlier work. Its nine tracks unfold…
fluXus returns to CiS with a beautiful new album entitled 'Ghost Signs'. fluXus is Cornwall based artist Nigel Rushbrook. Born on the same day as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Alistair Crowley, Nigel lives and records in a cottage once owned by Sargeant Howie AKA Edward Woodward. 'Ghost Signs' brings some darker shades of ambience and classic electronic sounds, with Berlin School style sequencing and a retro sensibility. Nigel uses vintage analog and virtual synths and old-school effects. Nostalgic…
Every Thursday night, the ocean promenade in St Denis becomes an open stage for everyone who wants to sing, play, dance and enjoy maloya in one of its most festive and community oriented forms. Sets that last for long hours are charged with energetic songs, and are open to anyone who can sing or play. These songs belong to the creole culture and most of them are well-known to all participants. You do not come here to give a concert but to be a part of it. You sing, keep the rhythm for a few minu…
*200 copies limited edition* Twenty years after its original release, The Sound Of Lights When Dim remains a remarkable opening statement from Drew Sullivan’s Slow Dancing Society. First released on September 6, 2006, the eight-track album established a musical language that Sullivan would continue to explore and refine for the next two decades: slowly unfolding electronics, treated guitar, soft rhythmic movement and melody shaped less by conventional structure than by memory, atmosphere and emo…

Wolf Eyes' first full-length as the core duo of Nate Young and John Olson since 2023: twelve tracks of warped kicks, skittering drum synth, narcotized vocals and Olson's homemade reeds.
Belgian improvisers Linus and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy reimagine the songs of Dutch songwriter Jules de Corte: slowed, expanded folk miniatures on religion, love and loss, with guitars, banjo, clarinet and lap steel.
Few gestures in the history of recorded sound have been as absolute as the one Richard and Philip Rupenus made in a garden shed in rural Newcastle in 1982, when – as The New Blockaders – they committed Changez Les Blockeurs to tape and, with it, drew the founding line of noise as an art of pure negation. From the outset TNB armed the music with a manifesto: blockade as resistance, an anti-music and anti-art set against every convention of composition, performance, and even personality, the sound…
