New Arrivals
Volume 3
On Volume 3, Secular Music Group expand to a five‑piece and turn a single 4‑track tape machine into a labyrinth: live, no‑rehearsal performances that swell from lean modal vamps into ten‑part sound worlds where library funk, holy minimalism and jazz coexist.
Ethio Rock'n'Roll
On Ethio Rock'n'Roll, DJ Mitmitta stitches together police and army bands, street‑level orchestras and fuzz‑drenched combos from 70s and 80s Ethiopia and Eritrea, tracing a raw, ecstatic lineage where brass, krar and wah‑wah guitar collide.
Early Hits
On Early Hits, Juuso Paaso Tulevat Käsitteet builds a private, lo‑fi cosmos from Villa Sarkia and Vallila backrooms, folding years of solitary tracking into songs where homespun electronics, ghosted melodies and stray saxophone lines coexist like half-remembered futures.
Now I Imagine A Place Not The Same
Electric guitarist and composer David Torn announces "now i imagine a place not the same," an expansive new double LP out May 29 via Kou Records. Produced by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Thurston Moore), the album revisits the raw electricity of Torn’s early processing language while carrying it forward with the perspective of decades of exploration. Visceral yet weightless, it deepens his long-standing dialogue between alternate tunings, looping systems, and touch-sensitive electronics. Melody, noi…
Alina
*2024 stock. Deluxe packaging* There have been other recordings of "Für Alina" and "Spiegel im Spiegel" but none like those on this disc, realized with the participation of the composer. Here Pärt, aided by exceptional interpreters, revisits those seminally important compositions which marked the birth of a new, "prismatic" period in his work, establishing a link between compositions embodying the fundamental traits of the "tintinnabuli style." Three interpretations of the duet ‘Spiegel im Spieg…
Peak Impressions
One of the strangest and most ambitious artifacts of American psychedelia. Originally issued by Monitor in 1967, Peak Impressions is the lone album by The Freeborne, a band of Boston teenagers - their ages ranged from seventeen to nineteen, three of them still in high school - who produced a record so overloaded with ideas that it has confounded easy classification ever since. Long a target of bootleggers, counterfeited repeatedly across the decades, it stands among the great cult objects of the…
Fuente Y Caudal
Originally released in 1973, Fuente y Caudal is widely regarded as one of the most important recordings in the history of flamenco guitar. The album captures Paco de Lucía at the height of his early creative period, combining traditional flamenco forms with his own modern harmonic ideas and dazzling virtuosity.
The album includes the legendary rumba “Entre Dos Aguas,” a groundbreaking instrumental that became Paco de Lucía’s signature piece and helped introduce flamenco guitar to a global audien…
Vulcanalia
On Vulcanalia, AX - the solo vehicle of Anthony Di Franco - returns after nearly three decades to his original mandate: vast, beatless torrents of guitar, feedback and electronics, now scaled up into a molten, myth‑drunk monument to Roman fire and stone.
That Porous Line
On That Porous Line, Push For Night dwell in the blur between song and atmosphere, trading in smudged hooks, low-lit textures and slow, pulsing tension where guitars, electronics and voice seep into one another instead of standing apart.
Country / The Country
On Country / The Country, J.WLSN and Liam Keenan pare things back to the bone, using repetition, space and grain to sketch a faint, flickering idea of “country” where landscape, memory and rusted‑out song forms quietly bleed into one another.
Headwater
On Headwater, Helen Svoboda traces an intimate, slow‑moving current through bass, voice and carefully placed sound, letting murmured melodies, extended techniques and silence pool into an ecosystem where every ripple feels both fragile and tidal.

Aguirre Bundle (3LP Bundle)
A three-LP bundle gathering the latest Aguirre reissues from two corners of contemporary folk and experimental music, offered together at a reduced price.
Two of the records belong to Brannten Schnüre, the Würzburg duo of Christian Schoppik and Katie Rich, who have spent more than a decade building a singular world at the borders of dark folk, musique concrète, ambient, and narrative conceptualism. Sommer im Pfirsichhain, the summer panel originally issued in 2015, and Geträumt hab ich vom Marti…
Stella Kola
Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition - bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared.Given the pair’s respective roots - and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground - one might expect “a brutal blast of acid swirl…
Introspection
Brazilian guitar music has a way of folding the whole century into a single instrument, and few players carried more of it in their hands than Luiz Bonfá. Most listeners know him through the songs he wrote for Orfeu Negro, the ones that helped carry bossa nova out of Rio and across the world. Introspection, cut for RCA in 1972, is the quieter counterweight to that fame: eight original pieces for solo guitar, recorded at a moment when Bonfá had stopped chasing the hit and turned inward.
Blood Blood Song
"Blood Blood Song continues East of the Valley Blues’ streak of sublime, future-forward acoustic fantasias. For years, the Toronto-based duo, comprised of brothers Kevin and Patrick Cahill, has excelled at an earthy and pensive brand of instrumental music inspired by notions of folk music as a global, rather than regional, idiom.While the duo’s elegant and unassuming virtuosity easily distinguishes East of the Valley Blues from its contemporaries of would-be Bashos and fledgling Faheys, it is th…
