Like A Strange Matador
*2025 stock* Like moonlight playing on an ocean tide, Burn Into Sleep’s first record shimmers in the darkness with a perilous beauty. The core duo of David McLean and poet Lauren Bolger having been working with each other in various contexts since 2014, sharing the stage in Bolger’s iconoclastic no-wave band Locean, in a sorely missed free jazz trio with percussionist Pascal Nichols, guesting with Polish avant-garde collective Shepherd of Cats and Dream Skills of NYC and were both handpicked to …
The Garden of Unknowing
*2025 stock* Garden of Unknowing is a work of staggering ingenuity from one of Toronto’s most talented and in demand multi-instrumentalists. Utterly on his own, Colin Fisher masterfully employs guitar, saxophone, synthesizer, drums and bass to create a shifting suite of nocturnal jazz. These are ghosts of song, which, going by the simple clear titles, emphatically question the very nature of existence. Fisher’s breath-taking technical ability to conjure whole sound worlds entirely on his own is …
Wedding Songs
*2025 stock* Wedding Songs marks the return to the label of filmmaker and composer, Clint Trofa, with his most ambitious and masterfully executed suite of music to date. Recorded with Jim Wallis throughout 2022, the 10 compositions that make up the album have been created with the patience of an auteur director, each piece of mise-en-scene delicately placed, unfolding with the grace, subtlety and emotional resonance of a European art house film.
Indeed, much of the album's melodic content has a…
Written Systems
*50 copies limited edition* "Written Systems" contains four new sonic poems by Alfredo Costa Monteiro based on speech synthesis, inspired by structural ideas in grammatology and linguistics. "Real Objects" is based on a sentence that is never heard in its entirety. Its fragments are revealed little by little over repetitions, offering a conceptual deconstruction. The absence of natural language’s continuity leads to an isolation of words from speech, converting them into real sonic objects. "Ins…

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The soundtrack for “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” (1988), composed by Ennio Morricone in collaboration with his son Andrea, is a masterpiece filled with emotion, nostalgia, and beauty.

The story follows …

7 O'clock in Tokyo
Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of Akiko Yano's cult 1979 album 7 O'Clock in Tokyo, recorded live in September 1978 at a pivotal moment in Japanese music history, just as Yellow Magic Orchestra was about to take the world by storm (Yano would tour the world with the group in 1979). Featuring a very funky Yano performance accompanied by Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, plus Tatsuro Yamashita and Minako Yoshida, the album is presented outside Japan for the…
An Index Of Metals
An Index of Metals, Fausto Romitelli’s final work, is an ecstatic ritual of sound, light, and image—a multimedia opera that fuses electronic music, psychedelic ecstasy, and brutal-poetic texts into an intoxicating sensory flood. Blending techno, pop art, noise, and spectralism, Romitelli propels music theatre into a hallucinatory present: metallic, eruptive, rebellious. The voice is distorted, the image disintegrates, sound becomes palpable material. In this uncompromising fusion of composition,…
Live / Live
Just a few weeks back in a packed-full railway arch deep in South London, Jemima played their debut show and the moment seemed too good not to capture. Their gently lapping, invertedly melancholic sound is instantly recognisable from the first touch of the strings, although now songs, sketches and fragments from the album are elongate to have further room to breathe. Like finding a place of quiet refuge amidst the increasing urban chaos, these two extended live sets lower the pace for an ephemer…

autoReverse
Edition of 70 copies. Another magical stream of consciousness by Ramuntcho Matta on guitar, synth, vocals etc. A spaced out travelogue to the inner circle of the deep diamond through gaps of gaseous walls and flickering transluscent doors with intuitive speech patterns played backwards.

Zen Experience in Music
Edition of 70 copies. Atmospheric home recordings by conservatoire deviant Valentina Goncharova on electric violin. Tuned and detuned augurs, like bird flights somewhere between written music and improvisation absorbed by waves of meditation echoing Takehisa Kosugi and Tony Conrad reflections in the aether of the zen garden's mind mirror.
Tantric Song Lines: A Hybrid Sutra
Edition of 50 copies. A magical reading from Marilyn Stablein’s recent book Tantric Song Lines: A Hybrid Sutra (Shivastan Press, 2024) which is derived from an ongoing series of poetic spoken, chanted, written and visual narratives that document and celebrate a seven year sojourn in and around the Himalayas to honor cultural, historical, ritual, geographical, environmental and time and place based encounters with people, animals, habitats, myths and spirits who populate those off the grid ancien…
