Skryvania
*Limited edition of 300* A true diamond in the pantheon of French progressive rock, Skryvania’s sole album that was released in 1978 is currently the scene’s most expensive artefact, with copies selling for over 3000 euros (if found). The album’s musical merit is hardly contestable. Although largely composed in the typically French symphonic prog vein, it is no stranger to hard prog and psychedelia, with fuzzed out guitar solos in constant dialogue with escalating moog assaults. This largely ins…

Hand Signals
*2023 stock* Since reactivating in the wake of the essential 2009 archival BUFMS box set, 'Induced Musical Spasticity', Bren't Lewiis Ensemble have released more than 40 titles of the finest avant ear wonk around. Much of this activity has proceeded with relatively little fanfare. Perhaps the number of releases is intimidating to some, or maybe well-adjusted society simply has little need for (in their own words) "screeches, recitations, injured vocalizations, inexplicable flurries of bleeps, bl…

The idea is that while listening to track after track we dive into different universes, different images, different stories, places and landscapes. It’s an album wit…

Robbie scatters his Americana numbers throughout, beginning with "Redwood Ramble," and ending with "Californ…

Following their debut album "Gloam" and two duo collaborations with Lynn Avery and Nat Harvie, Cole Pulice returns with their sophomore album "Scry". The sound is deeply contemporary, incorporating saxophone/wind synth with live signal processing and modern electronics/software. It drifts between electroacoustic experimentalism and more traditional forms of song-like beauty, casting a w…
Aliens Are Real
“Aliens Are Real” is the debut album from experimental ambient artist UFOm. It was submitted as a demo by the artist, who wishes to remain anonymous due to their involvement with a low-profile religious organization. Sonically the album drifts between heady atmospheric meditations, spaced-out ambient processionals and ecstatic otherworldly vignettes. The artist utilizes a plethora of synthesizers alongside digital bells, harps, rhodes, lap steel, marimbas, flutes and their own captured field rec…
Moss King
*2023 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Omni Gardens is the experimental ambient/new age project by Moon Glyph head Steve Rosborough. Recorded at home in Portland during the early days of covid, "Moss King" is relaxed home listening for difficult times. The first Omni Gardens release, “West Coast Escapism”, was expansive with a broad selection of soothing synth tones and morphing samples. In contrast, "Moss King" is a smaller, more intimate affair, full of fuzzy new age moog drifters and self-c…
Carpet Cocoon
*2023 stock* Iceblink is a homespun, intimate project conjured by Lynn Avery in Minneapolis. As a trans woman, everything she creates is about her experience and Lynn describes "Carpet Cocoon" as her comfort album, music to retreat to in the winter. Informed by her passion for mixtapes, oddities and crate digging blogs, the album is eclectic yet cohesively spun around the aesthetic of a bedroom new age album. Sonically, it has a fuzzy and rounded vibe incorporating nylon string guitars through v…
Body Pillow
Sam Scranton is a composer and percussionist based in Chicago. His latest album, "Body Pillow," marks an aesthetic investment in the immediacy of improvisation. Simple and spontaneous forms make way for complex sound worlds to gather and accumulate into immersive and dense environments. To make the record, Sam employed a multi-faceted approach, combining contact mic'd balsa wood resonators, pure data patches, general midi presets, a variety of synthesizers, and live percussion. Sam's musicality …

Milk In The Sun
*2023 stock. 150 copies limited edition* "Milk in the Sun" is the return of Parker Sprout, an artist with a deep connection and history to Moon Glyph Records. His jangly, dreamy Minneapolis outfit Velvet Davenport was the first band signed to the label, releasing two cassettes and an LP. Returning now as a solo artist, Sprout retains his effortless ability to craft psychedelic and weirdo pop ear-worms but now expands even further into the outré sounds of sonic collage and electronic experimentat…
Sea & Forest
*2023 stock* Atoris is the live electronic trio of H.Takahashi, Kohei Oyamada and Yudai Osawa from Tokyo. The group began as the duo of Takahashi (owner of Kankyō Records) and graphic designer Osawa who knew each other from their experimental ambient quartet Unkown Me.

For their sophomore followup, “Sea & Forest”, the group focused their bubbling…
Distance
*2023 stock* Erasers is the duo of Rebecca Orchard and Rupert Thomas out of Noongar boodja (Perth, Western Australia). Their sound is buzzy and earthy; awash in humming synthesizers, droning organs, zoned-out vocals and hypnotic melodies. Their latest, “Distance” was written and recorded at home over a few weeks in mid 2021 and like its title suggests, the tones evoke vast open topography; rolling deserts and misty, endless coastline. Differentiating from past releases, the duo’s sound expands o…
Soft Science
*2023 stock* Matt Evans is a percussionist, composer, and experimentalist in Brooklyn, NY. Zoning his latest record, “Soft Science” is like reading through a biology textbook as if it were a collection of poetry and watching the letters slowly re-arrange until it reads more like science fiction. The album is a “mostly-not-chill” collection of brightly-hued maximalist miniatures, combining squiggly free drumming and alien synthesizers. The album sews together equal parts millennial iconography (m…
A Tiny Reminder
Loris S. Sarid returns with his latest album “A Tiny Reminder” following his oceanic “Seabed-Sunbath” LP. The compositions began as numerous fragments of guitar, vocal snippets, clarinet and field recordings which were rearranged, reworked and layered with his crystalline and distinctive sound design. Like scribbles on top of a painting, Loris blended acoustic sounds with digital-sounding samples of the same instrument to create a wholly new palette. The album embraces its eccentricities and hig…
Interdimensional Generated Space
Tip! *Limited edition of 200 copies.* As per Marta Zapparoli own words: " After a long research focused on the Natural Radio phenomena (VLF) coming from the Northern Lights, I realized a live performance that inevitably inspired me to compose a piece for this release. The piece is composed with recordings I made in Norway mixed with studio recordings, using a self made crystal radio, in combination with a specific light, detectors, motors, and antennas, to simulate a technological audio version …
