The first-ever dedicated album release by pioneering female Italian film music composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Giulia De Muittis (aka Mrs. Alessandro Alessandroni). This release compiles her contributions of Folkmusic releases Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà volumes One and Two to create her first-ever dedicated artist album under any of her recording monikers. Rare undercover pseudo-ethnological studio sessions made under her experimental alter ego Kema (The Pawnshop) combining the ethos of…
Temporary Super Offer! Reaching a near-mythical status amongst fans of free jazz's most worldly intrepid explorer, these seldom heard Paris soundtrack sessions known as Music, Wisdom, Love have evaded collectors' grasps and confused historians for exactly 50 years. Instigated in Paris in 1967 and filmed during Don Cherry's downtime on a visit to the Chat qui Pêche nightclub in March 1967, where he played with Karl Berger, Henri Texier, and Jacques Thollot, the bulk of this cinematic portrait was…
Temporary Super Offer! Groundbreaking! One of the best, and most necessary reissues of the past few years, as well as n extraordinary collection of experimental, ambient and electronic tracks from the Italian cult composer and guitarist Daniela Casa.In an alternate universe, the Rome-born female synthesist Daniela Casa would be a household name. A genuine pioneer of experimental pop music, abstract electronics, giallo jazz, and even heavy drone rock jams, her elusive and infectious music joins t…
Temporary Super Offer! B-movie junkies, gather round and prepare yourselves for what could only be described as a cinematic speedball. Take a combined hit of two of the most potent strains of toxic cinema, dress it up in ritualistic robes, and make it dance to the beat of a stoned, motoric, country commune soundtrack. Like an exploit-o double-bill where both films merge into a single feature, this directorial debut by an ex-Roger Corman protégé and future Russ Meyer art director (another heady c…
Temporary Super Offer! A mythical and misplaced masterpiece of lost soft rock and acidic folk funk by a one-hit wonderer lost in the wilderness for four decades. From the producer of Margo Guryan, writer behind Wool, Gerry Mulligan collaborator, Tarantino sound tracker, and Wendy & Bonnie confidant, Paint A Lady now emerges from folkloric obscurity. Within certain record collecting circles, especially those who gather under the umbrella that covers fragile niches like "acid folk" and "soft rock"…
"Well into the third decade of their existence as a musical juggernaut, a new (or at least semi-new) quartet iteration of Nashville's most aggressively shambolic band, The Cherry Blossoms, has recorded this dandy taster of a new LP. And Feeding Tube is tickled pink to bring it to you. Surreal ruralists of the highest order, this version of the Blossoms includes long-time collaborator, Josephine Foster, as a card-carrying member. Josephine has been colluding with the Blossoms for many years, and …
*2024 repress* "... The Ohio-based guitarist's artistic leaps in recent years are rivaled only by those of Daniel Bachman, another once-precocious player formerly in the John Fahey / Jack Rose mold who has over the years transcended the idiom to create his own singular, deeply personal music. Rolin's latest LP, the double album The Dreaming Bridge, makes similar strides. For many practitioners of this style, the first and perhaps most challenging feat is to escape the gargantuan shadow of Fahey.…
"My reasons for writing pieces are often very surprising.... Two Pages, you'll recall, is a unison. Someone asked me if I was trying to follow the evolution of music history and if, then, my next piece would follow that logic and be fifths. So I wrote Music In Fifths. All movement is parallel, so I had to do one with contrary motion. After Music In Contrary Motion came its opposite, Music In Similar Motion. It was all very simple. In 1969, nobody knew me or really cared what I could write, so I …
*2024 stock* It's quite unusual for me to take on an existing piece. Since I've been interested in contemporary music, I've devoted myself to commissioning new pieces. This time, it's a bit different. I wanted to extend the ringers' quartet into a form reminiscent of a bagad. In C (1964) consists of 53 ordered patterns. The musicians repeat them freely and move on to the next. Terry Riley simply explains that each musician must be neither too far behind nor too far ahead of the others. This grea…
The second full-length album by NYC composer and multi-instrumentalist Eve Essex, The Fabulous Truth is both an ecstatic paean to liberty and an intense look at the psychological prices paid for seeking independence in an unforgiving world.
Eve Essex’s solo debut is a multi-instrumental fea(s)t combining synthesizer, drum machine, alto saxophone, piccolo, electric organ/harpsichord, harmonica, slide whistle, bells, guitar pedals, and voice— composed, arranged, and performed by Essex herself.
Legend of e’Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye) is the powerful new work by composer & alto saxophonist Darius Jones. Both of his tremendous artistic strengths are to the fore here in a fully committed trio communion with longtime collaborator Gerald Cleaver (drums) & Chris Lightcap (bass). Five potent new Jones compositions, and a striking arrangement of “No More My Lord” (a prison song rec. by Alan Lomax at Parchman Farm). Legend of e’Boi is the 7th chapter (of 9 on completion) in Jones’ expansive Man…

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, presents the world premiere release of two 70s killer-animals exploitation film scores from the vaults of American International Pictures.
*2024 repress* Over the last two decades Philadelphia-based guitarist Chris Forsyth has released over a dozen critically lauded albums that have established him as one of today’s most unique and acclaimed guitar player /composers – a forward-thinking classicist synthesizing cinematic expansiveness with a pithy lyricism and rhythmic directness that makes even his 20-minute workouts feel as clear, direct, and memorable as a 4-minute song. In retrospect, Forsyth’s career can be divided into two per…
Falter Bramnk, Philippe Lenglet (members of the Muzzix collective), and Samuel Bodart (Numero h.) have known each other for a long time, often crossing paths in various and diverse ensembles (always working with improvisation), but until now, never as a trio! A few years ago, they came together, and after a few concerts, they felt the desire to further develop their work and record it.
For this project, they decided to blend plucked/struck strings (acoustic guitar surrounded and enhanced with a …
On “Love2,” the second track on Zaumne’s 'Only Good Dreams For Me', Natalia Panzer’s voice emerges from a hazy smear of a pop-song chorus: “I am touching the cold window,” she intones. “I am touching the spinning walls. It’s a way to remember what’s mine is yours, and back again.” 'Only Good Dreams For Me', Zaumne’s first release with Warm Winters Ltd., embraces such direct contact as it cycles through states, from dread to hope. The heavy air that lingered on Zaumne’s previous releases, like hu…

zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) and Tyresta (aka Nick Turner) follow their recent ambient treasury, The Worlds We Leave Behind, with Jade, a surprise companion album that teases out several themes from previous works into three long-form sonic vessels, offering some of their most affecting work across nearly an hour of reflective bliss. In the process of allowing their individual instincts to further entwine, they have created a uniquely generative kind of collaboration, where every deep drone and deli…
