New Arrivals
Heide
Nanook of the North is back with their second album, following the enthusiastically received 2018 debut "Nanook of the North," (Denovali). The duo of a composer and violinist Stefan Wesołowski and electronic producer Piotr Kaliński were acclaimed by Boiler Room, The Wire or NPR. Bob Boilen of Tiny Desk Concerts called Nanook of the North's performance at the famous SXSW Festival in Austin, US "one of the wow moments of SXSW". Their new material is a raw and minimalist sonic landscape, practicall…
Singe
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Singe" is the new record by Angelo Harmsworth, a musician who hails from the American Southwest and is operating now out of Berlin. Harmsworth’s work deals resolutely in extremes, but this music is not concerned with presenting binary or dichotomous relationships so much as it is with reconciling disparate sensibilities and sounds. Layers of meticulously edited and sculpted tones swirl around one another, creating kaleidoscopic patterns and h…

Led by the enigmatic Takashi Mizutani, Les Rallizes Dénudés has gained an almost mythical status the world over with their delicate balancing act between transcendent psychedelia and pure sonic assault, maintaining its status as an underground phenomenon throughout their three decade existen…
In Illo Tempore
* Edition of 70 copies. In process of stocking * Follow up to Morc's 'Hymnes Apophatiques' that came out earlier this year, In Illo Tempore was also recorded at the church of St. Saphorin in Switzerland last year. Atmospheric organ melodies acompanied by wordless vocals descending into timeless devotional ambience.
Session and Live in Tokyo
* Edition of 70 copies.* Formed in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) in 2012 Joseph of Kirezi has been roaming the outermost corners of the black clad psychedelic underground ever since. Amorphous visions of insanely loud guitars smeared all over a distorted obsidian night sky.
The Universe Is full of Nothing
* Edition of 70 copies. In process of stocking * Companion piece to Metabolismus' classic Brimborium Sloow Tape from 2013. An extented free/folk/jazz/stoned reinterpretation of the Fugs 'Nothing' backed with a classic rendition of 'The Garden is Open', which features lengendary Eugene Chadbourne on vocals and suitar.
Three Tsuru Origami
Three improvisers having fun and taking risks. The classic piano-less jazz trio reinvented by mixing melodies, dirty sounds, noises, extended techniques and references to tradition with a quasi-punk approach.
Russian Hill Chiropractic
*2022 Stock* Back pain? Headaches? Whiplash? If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, you’re truly in for a treat the first time you press play on this audio solution from R.H.C.P. Our visiting therapist this time is Ooaayu, a veteran of the Russian drone scene (Hooded Communion, ex-Arabian Horses). He's delivering two crude heavyweight noise-dub collages on side A, and a field recording from Karacharovo, Moscow on side B.
The long-standing practice of chiropractic uses nothing but good ol…
There Is No Hunger in Your Shame
Tip! Builenradar is the new moniker under which Belgian visual artist and musician Wouter Vanhaelemeesch performs his damaged post-apocalyptic bikerfolk. Previously known as Urpf Lanze, he’s been producing trance-like guitar boogie that takes inspiration from disparate influences since the early 2010s. Builenradar plays in a self-developed unorthodox style with a resophonic guitar on his lap and a voice ranging from messy grunts to eerie whistling and absent murmurs. Once, after Vanhaelemeesch o…
Inversi
An all-round musician, Cristiano Calcagnile defines his trio with these words: "Anchored low and hanging high, the trio vibrates in the belly like a single string". A trio with double bass and drums that takes into account the more modern sonorities of this classic formation but at the same time insinuates and welcomes sounds and attitudes that come from the freest experiences in the history of improvised music.

Japanese Jazz Spectacle Vol.II
Tip! "It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the second volume of the "Japanese Jazz Spectacle" series. Following the first compilation which focused on recordings from the Nippon Columbia catalog, this time we are digging into the King Records archives. It is almost impossible to capture the whole picture of Wa-Jazz in a couple of compilation albums since it is such a broad and deep genre, however, by extracting tracks from the Nippon Columbia and King Records collections - both labels hav…
Selected Self-releases 2006-2007
The years 2006-2007 were an exceptionally prolific creative period for Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long. A quick peek on Discogs tells us they self-released an astounding seventeen albums during that time. Those original discs are like gold dust and difficult/expensive to obtain. Thankfully we can now get ten of those, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu for this collection. Celer's music is timeless and seems to dissolve time itself. A veritable feast of lush gently unravelling ambient …
Issue 94: Cosey
We have the magnificent Cosey Fanni Tutti on the cover of this month's Electronic Sound and a very special Cosey seven-inch to accompany the magazine. The limited edition record is pressed on yellow vinyl and features a previously unreleased track, together with an exclusive remix.
Our interview with Cosey focuses on two projects stemming from 'Art Sex Music', her 2017 autobiography, both of which have just come out. The first is her superb soundtrack to 'Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And The Leg…
Pelo De Rata
"Hey, there's this new guy around that plays like Herbie Hancock!!". When Chilean pianist Matías Pizarro arrived in Argentina fleeing Pinochet's dictatorship, word spread like wildfire in the local jazz scene. In the two short years that Pizarro spent in Buenos Aires, he became one third of the Viejas Raíces project alongside local jazz heroes Jorge López Ruiz and Pocho Lapouble, recorded with famed Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava and released his own solo album, Pelo de Rata ("Rat's hair"). Pizar…

Elle Tombe La Lune
*In process of stocking* Melodic synthesis, industrial precision and ghost stars. Hits to sing in the shower. Songs to listen to in the urban forest.
Nomenclature Des Sentiers Lumineux
Tip! *In process of stocking* Vocal ghosts, blind bruitism and rhythmic obsessions. Epilepsy cocktail for living-room. Terabytes of data meticulously dusted for your pleasure.
Non Ce N'È Per Nessuno
* 180 gr. Red Vinyl. Digitally remastered * Originally released in 1977. "Rocchi's second album for Cramps simplifies the songwriting of his earlier A Fuoco, lining eight tracks of remarkable depth and complexity. The sound, compared to the beginning, becomes more full-bodied, the songs expand and the structures benefit from valuable musicians such as Ricky Belloni on guitars, Eugenio Pezza on piano, organ and Mellotron, Paolo Tofani from Area on guitar and synthesizer.
Rade
*Now available on vinyl! In process of stocking* "... Rade is arrivals and departures in sheltered coves, faces marked by sea salt and dried by the sun. It's waiting, caulking whenever needed, small repairs on deck, quick encounters, transistor radios. And then again, it's badly folded, coffee-stained nautical charts, imaginary routes in a Mediterranean Sea sailed from cove to cove, finding protection from storms in harbors, bays and inlets..."
Rade is an unexpected arrival, like a beam of sunli…
