Waiting For The Bomb
2024 stock. LP version. Eccentricity in music is tricky in that it's difficult to embrace it in moderation. There's risk of having it come off as either overly (and gratingly) deliberate, or teetering over the precipice into full-blown novelty. Pere Ubu co-founder Allen Ravenstine's Waiting For The Bomb is one of these rare exceptions where peculiarity, nuance and genuine warmth align in such a way that it's perched right on that edge and all the more evocative because of it. One of the album's …
Air From Air

Heart, mind and spirit, conveyed by the word, are augmented and altered, enhanced and embraced, by electronic sound. “Air from Air” is a collaboration between Japanese vocalist/producer Dove and American electronic duo Georgia. This singular partnership is a collection of audio poems in which words breathed by Dove are modified and expanded, cradled and celebrated, syllable by syllable …

Cinnte le Dia

Having already released two joint records on the now-defunct Entr'acte label, the two musicians wanted to document a 2018 concert in Berlin, but technology failed them.

Empire Illusion
The Attic Magazine's 'Favorite of 2022' "Too hot to handle. Understandable. An inspiring trip with an uncompromising finisher." - Samer El Abassi
Fabulous Soundtracks
Fabulous Soundtracks, the fourth studio album by reclusive Los Angeles musician Jack Name, is an homage to the IRL world and its twisted and varied romance with the worlds of our minds, in a wild collection of "soundtracks'', each a sonic re-construction dedicated to a distinct scene. Both musically and lyrically, this is Name's most adventurous and genre-defying album. Elements of acid, dance, folk, micro-tonal weirdness, horror, sensuality, impressionism, and bursts of rock fuse with Name's mo…
du silence des anges
*200 copies limited edition* With "du silence des anges" Bruno Duplant returns with the second release in his trilogy for Moving Furniture Records, imbued with a certain mysticism and a deep melancholy, but, this time, more luminous, carrying a hope still possible.
Flatworm Mysticism
“It is wrong to say: I think. Better to say: I am thought. I is an other. So what if a piece of wood discovers it is a violin, and the hell with those who can’t realize, who quibble over something they know nothing about… For I is an other. If brass wakes as a bugle, it is not its fault at all. That is quite clear to me: I am a spectator at the flowering of my thought: I watch it, I listen to it: I draw a bow across a string: a symphony stirs in the depths, or surges onto the stage.” - Arthur Ri…
Spires
*2024 cd version reprint* "Bright lights of impossible architecture, airwaves are your travelling wings. I rode up some of those ones, it was already night. It looked like some future city, lights of villages on the other hills below as far as light not obscuring. Interesting scene. Invisible city of trees. Continuing its spiritual journey, where the self-titled LP was inspired by erosion and the jaws of time as an elemental force, “Spires” explores its vision in the forward vector, a future man…
Smokestacks
"The world is already fallen and the temples are all new again."
Pain Is All I Have For You
An infected journey through humid vine like enclosures and vicious leaf blades with a tangy serrated edge where one might observe a little too closely the multi-colored wandering spiders over oaks hanging and sucking the sharp edges of the razor, a sudden shine of reflected alumni light could perhaps enter the cornea and a dangerously precise interval pre-empting the reflex to shut your eyes. At last, crawling on hands and stone along a rocky and unstable footing - the enormous shale mouth opens…
Trick
Hospital Productions is proud to announce ‘Trick’ on 2xLP format. “Trick’ is deeply important to the Hospital history as it was the first time working with the icon Richard Ramirez in 1999. 5 tracks spread across each disc ‘Only If You Want To Fuck’ and ‘Voyage Of Tempted Flesh’. ‘Trick’ shows Ramirez at his most focused, linear, and darkest noise that only he can do. Listeners will be torn between minimalist brittle static and eerie envelope-filter delayed electronics creating a chasm of gravel…
Peat + Polymer
*2024 stock* "This one has it all: intercontinental field recordings, sledding children, vocal manipulations, soundscapes, excursions in drone. Natasha Barrett has been called “Norway’s most prominent composer of electro-acoustic music,” and on the basis of this double disc, she’s earned it. Peat+Polymer isn’t just a showcase for her own talents, but for the breadth of experimentalism.
Opening triptych “Hidden Values” is a tribute to three inventions: the umbrella, glasses/contact lenses, and t…
Algida Bellezza

Each year, cave12 publishes a recording from its sound archives. This album brings together two artists whose concerts took place a few months apart.

Gaute Granli "Out there Norwegian guitarist-performer-singer, Gaute Granli, a true prodigy of (de)structured psychedelic song that we have been following since his beginnin…
Jordanian Descent
A cult was built around these this truly ominous original tape with slowed down mega-apocalyptic drone drum contemplations. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is long form esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our accelerating global amnesia. Fully remastered version.
