New Arrivals
Letters Home
*100 copies limited edition* Letters Home is the first PITP full-length from Tennessee-based Slow Blink (aka Amanda Haswell), who aptly describes her compositions as “tape loop weather patterns”. Across the arc of its two half-hour-long pieces, individual melodic elements build into dizzying, cyclical symphonies of melting colors and shapes. Haswell cites bowed guitar, piano, bells, recorder, and toy synthesizers as her primary sound sources, but through her array of effects pedals and tape ma…

Originally released in 1961 on Parlophone, The Twinkling Star is a luminous showcase of her unparalleled vocal mastery—an album that captures both the grandeur of her artistry and the emotional intensity that made her a cultural phenomenon across the Arab world and beyond.
A cornerstone o…

Clang Quartet / Crank Sturgeon
*100 copies limited edition* Noise. Ritual. Performance. Transformation. Two of experimental music’s most uncompromising voices — Clang Quartet and Crank Sturgeon — collide in a brand-new split release that drags listeners deep into the unpredictable wilderness of sound.
For decades, both Clang Quartet (North Carolina’s Scotty Irving) and Crank Sturgeon (the ever-morphing project of Matt Anderson) have built reputations for visceral, unhinged, and deeply theatrical approaches to noise. Now, on…
Time Lapse Of Wet Fire
*50 copies limited edition* Visionary experimental project Orphan Parapet announces the release of its latest full-length work, Time Lapse Of Wet Fire, a daring exploration of sound, memory, and atmosphere. Following a string of cult releases that established the artist as one of the most unclassifiable names in the underground electronic landscape, this new album crystallizes Orphan Parapet’s ongoing search for intensity, fragility, and abstraction.
Time Lapse Of Wet Fire unfolds like a halluc…
Demo
*50 copies limited edition* Orb Tapes is proud to present Demo, the debut offering from Castellar, a project whose sound sits at the intersection of shadowed atmospherics and raw sonic immediacy. Emerging from the underground currents of experimental music, Demob captures the urgency, openness, and unpredictability that can only come from first transmissions.
Across its unfolding passages, Demo balances restraint with intensity: fractured textures collide with moments of stark beauty, while la…
Aeropsia
Steve Hauschildt returns after 6 years with a new album titled Aeropsia. After a transcontinental relocation from the US to Tbilisi, Georgia, the electronic composer emerges from a personal and global transformation to explore themes of perceptual distortion, disconnection, and renewal.
Aeropsia (which roughly translates as “seeing the air”) refers to a visual phenomenon in which objects appear to float or shimmer, often due to changes in pressure, perception, atmospheric shifts or neurological …
Songbook
*100 copies limited edition packaged in a thick PVC sleeve with hand printed Japanese woodblock prints on 400g paper and hand stamped credits.* Sacred Realism is pleased to release yet another recording that really could find a home nowhere else. Recorded in January 2021 in Berlin-Spandau, Songbook is a document of dissolving, almost not there, form and the poetic interpretation of shared ghosts (people, instruments, music, and machine). Expressing the music, and other feelings, through a broken…
Oslan Husein
In truth, singing is not all that different from acting. Performing a song is very similar to playing a role in a theatrical production. A singer's delivery — the way they interpret and emphasize certain parts of a song — is much like what an actor does with their character. That's why we often find singers who go on to gain popularity as performers — some on stage, but more often on the silver screen (film). These are called 'singing stars' — vocalists who are also featured actors, usually give…

Napalm Über Russland
2025 stock Napalm Über Russland is an experimental release by Sakura Napalm, featuring two tracks with a total duration of approximately fourteen minutes. The EP was officially released on April 22, 2022, and is notable for its limited edition format, available as a professionally pressed 8-inch lathe cut. Stylistically, the album delves into industrial noise, with dense soundscapes and abrasive textures characteristic of the Frei zum Abriss Kollektiv label from Germany.
Lost Forest
2025 stock "Lost Forest" by Ryosuke Kiyasu is a 2022 release that explores experimental and avant-garde drumming through seven concise tracks, amounting to just over 14 minutes of sonic intensity. The album showcases Kiyasu's unique approach to percussion, blending rapid-fire rhythms with moments of controlled silence and unexpected dynamic shifts. Each composition is marked by a raw minimalism that highlights the expressive possibilities of solo snare drum performance.
Draining Bernice Worden / Violence
2025 stock "Draining Bernice Worden / Violence" by Psywarfare is a harsh noise project that exemplifies the band's commitment to weaponized sound and psychological provocation, creating an intentionally uncomfortable and uncompromising experience for the listener. The single was released in 2021 and consists of abrasive, confrontational sonic textures that reflect Psywarfare's ethos of challenging what is considered musically acceptable by mainstream standards.
Martin Carthy
Re-pressing of Martin Carthy's debut album, originally released on Fontana in 1965 and re-issued by Topic in 1977. In the early 1960s, the approach Martin Carthy took to folk music was nothing short of revolutionary, albeit a relatively quiet revolution befitting of his humble nature.
You wouldn't find Carthy's music clambering up the singles charts; his was not a face adorning the teen magazines. Instead, his influence was felt at a grass-roots level. He plied his trade in the folk clubs, which…
Waka / Jawaka
One of two sets recorded with a mini-big band in the early seventies, Waka / Jawaka is one of the most eclectic releases of Frank Zappa's hyper-eclectic career. The album's dual showpieces, the opening 'Big Swifty' and the title track, combine dynamic horn arrangements and free-form improvisational experimentation (think Miles Davis circa 1973), and the album's other two tracks, 'Your Mouth' and 'It Just Might be a One-Shot Deal' blend elements of electric blues and country music. Perhaps the co…
