Loveland Music proudly announces the release of Live at The Village Vanguard, a remarkable new recording that brings together seven of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz. Recorded in the legendary New York room that has defined generations of improvised music, this album captures the raw immediacy and atmospheric depth of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime gathering. Subtle, deeply melodic, and unhurried, Live at The Village Vanguard reveals Bro’s unique gift for creating spacious musical landscapes w…

Brazil is a treasure trove of inspirational music from the past, present, and future. Here we head back to 1976 for a one-of-a-kind kaleidoscopic journey, melding Brazilian regional rhythms with funk, rock, soul, and psychedelia by the married couple Eduardo Araújo and Silvinha. A cult classic and beloved record for some of the scene’s biggest DJs including Floating Points, it was further immortalised when Madlib sampled ‘Opanigê’ for his track ‘São Paulo’. Singers Eduardo Araújo and Silvinha Ar…

Tip! Mr Bongo proudly presents, ‘Afim’, the second solo album by one of Brazil’s most exciting new talents, Zé Ibarra. You may be familiar with the hypnotic, entrancing tones of Ibarra’s vocals through his work with the Latin Grammy award-winning, four-piece, Bala Desejo and the band Dônica. He has also toured with the musical titan, Milton Nascimento, performing guitar and vocals, which is quite the honour and a testament to Ibarra's craft. As a solo artist, he has performed headline solo shows…

"If I’m not mistaken, Ben Frost and I first talked about the ideas of what would become Steelwound sometime in mid 2002. In the early 00s, Ben had been working on cut-up electronics, spilling over with floating rhythms, humming string samples and piano splices. It was a sound realised in part through the subversion of fruity loops and also owes a debt to Ableton Live which arrived in late 2001. His works to that point, gently saturated and bristling with a fizzy distortion at times, hinted at an…

"I first owned a fender rhodes electric piano in the late 1970s. It was a Mark 1 model (wooden key action). I had a band with my younger brother and my best friend from school and this was my ‘portable’ gigging instrument that weighed ‘a ton,’ and only just fitted in our small car. (I eventually got smart and left the 15 kg lid at home.) I had one effects pedal, a Boss chorus. Sadly—due to the rise of synthesisers and electronic keyboard instruments—I sold this lovely instrument in the late 1980…

"Even without visiting a place, we often think we know it. It’s a syndrome of the modern age. The world is right before us, on screen, summarised and sensorially curated into a particular vision that casts light across ‘just so much’ of an impression of a place and a time. In some ways, I realised this phenomenon most strongly when I visited Antarctica in the summer of 2010. In my mind’s ear (and eye) certain features of that place were front and centre – imagined, as to be real. The stark colou…

A limited-to-300 reissue of this rare west coast psych inspired album from 1972. With all lyrics and liner notes by Jaakko Riihimaa. Bengt Huhta, known by his nom de plume Kristian, made this unusual album in 1972, after enjoying a pop star career in the late sixties. As a singer he suffered the same fate as most sixties pop singers - no matter how ambitious the artist, his choice of songs to record was always made by the label, the songs more often than not being Finnish translations of popular…

Claudio Simonetti, the iconic composer and founding member of Goblin, proudly announces the release of a special edition of Demoni, the original soundtrack to Lamberto Bava’s cult horror classic Demons (1985). Known for his groundbreaking work in the world of horror and progressive rock, Simonetti brings back one of his most thrilling and unforgettable scores in a definitive version that fans and collectors have long awaited.   Originally conceived during the golden era of Italian horror cinema,…

Out Of Your Head Records announces the latest chapter in creative music: 'Half of What You See' by Wrens, a bold new contribution to the label’s tradition of boundary-pushing artistry and limited-run releases. Continuing their dedication to inventive sound and visual originality, Out Of Your Head Records—spanning Richmond and Brooklyn—invites listeners into a world where sonic textures and emotional immediacy collide. 'Half of What You See' showcases Wrens at the height of their powers, blending…

Two sides, each lasting 8 minutes and 50 seconds. A clash that resonates in friction, united by the materiality of vinyl - if only for a time. Or at best, a rapprochement, like in cinema. On side A, a MIDI composition by Xavier Robel for synthesized piano, based on La Monte Young's tuning system for The Well-Tuned Piano. Mouse clicks, boxing gloves, vibrancy, and mischief. On side B, a positively insistent On-U Sound-flavored rhythmic investigation, produced by Androo in response to Xavier Robel…

This is the story of a Telegram audio message suddenly poured and cast into the materiality of a vinyl record. Is it a  correspondence archive? Above all, it's a field recording, a moment bit torn from everydayness, where Androo found some fresh air in a church in Sardinia and started playing the organ. Next we're in Naples, and Androo is playing a tiny instrument as we can hear sporadically the street hum in the background. This was all recorded on an already too old iPhone during the summer of…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Poly Dance Theatre speeds up the tempo (perhaps in search of lost time) and so here already the first announcement for the next release: POL008, called "Le Commerce" (The Business). It's a very special record. Beyond the deep bass line, the efficient ryhtmics and the ghostly apparitions of dubbed-out commercial romantic melodies, this 10" is above all an object-question, a small political gesture of sabotage. Be careful. Be careful. Rare! Very very very r…

*2025 stock* At the turn of the millennium, Pori Finland based group of adventurers Moon Fog Prophet, born in 1994, arrived at a crossroads. The band had just wrapped up their fourth album Taunting Tin Bells Through The Mammal Void that was in its narrative character, exaggerative scope and dynamic richness a work of art taken to extreme proportions. What next? The answer was found from the more minimalistic end of the spectrum. The singer-keyboardist Mika Rättö began to take more responsibility…

*2025 stock* After their triumphant debut album, Kuusumun Profeetta went deeper and further into the process of creating new music and lyrics. As a result, their second album, Jatkuvasti maailmaa pelastamaan kyllästynyt supersankari ("The Superhero Tired of Constantly Saving the World"), stands as an undisputed landmark of the Finnish music scene in the early 21st century.   With this record, Kuusumun Profeetta cemented their reputation as one of the most original and fearless Finnish bands. The…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* At the height of the forest folk boom in 2002, the yearning for more manna for the ears led a group of aficionados to invent a programmable forest folk generator software that would then relentlessly spit out the magic sound. Later, the tapes produced by the software went missing for two decades until rediscovered by J. Lehtisalo, who was one of the concept creators and programmers along with S. Pekkola and V. Puhakka. Among the missing tapes was Circle’s…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Circle, the uncompromising avant-rock collective from Finland, announce the release of Supermassive, a recording that captures the band’s legendary performance at the Tavastia Club in Helsinki during the Supermassive Festival on October 23, 2014.   On that night, the band unveiled their audacious "Double-edged Circle" lineup, wielding an unprecedented seven guitars in unison. Their sonic charge carved through Tavastia’s walls in a precise, surgical incisi…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Bursting with high energy and unpredictability, "Electric Catapult" showcases Lehtisalo's evolution as a solo artist, moving away from his previous electronic maximalism into a realm of impressionistic soundscapes. The album's frenetic, all-over-the-place pace and eclectic composition reflect Lehtisalo's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Drawing inspiration and style from early 00's New York and New Zealand improv groups li…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Salo Ra II is a new duo of Topias Tiheäsalo and Jussi Lehtisalo. Taking inspiration from the old vacuum tube televisions and the decayed industrial landscape of the city of Salo, the duo’s debut LP Viptronic creates a beautiful and an intuititive balance of seemingly incongruous sounds: overdriven zither-noise and unearthly electronic basso continuo blend touchingly with the resonances of electric guitar’s open tunings. Dedicated to whoever who has ever b…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Halki pilvien - transl. Through the clouds - brings exactly what one expects from the clouds. It is a collection of soft and gentle movements, as playful as a ‘Jan Anderzén type of music’ is always. A collection of patterns that solidify for just a brief moment in time, before sublimating in the back of the mind. This album is in constant motion. Push play. A warped piano and cartoonish SFX’s might foretell a hyperreal approach to music. Yet while the ch…

Twenty years after its original release, Ben Frost's "Steel Wound" returns as a testament to isolation transformed into transcendence. Born from solitude at a derelict cabin on Australia's windswept coast, this masterpiece of textural guitar manipulation still sounds like a transmission from another world—one where beauty emerges from the marriage of abandonment and obsession.

Tina Records presents the apocalyptic visions of Nokuit. Constructing a hellish diorama across six tracks of industrial electronics, Gates of Horn and Ivory uses biblical allegory to map out our current End Times. With sleeve notes by Andy Sharp a.k.a The English Heretic. Eurosleaze film composer by day, Nokuit has developed a distinctive cosmology over a mutating series of releases on underground labels including wannamarchi.club and NKT. Alongside Cut Hands (William Bennett of Whitehouse), he …

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Profondo Rosso, Rustblade proudly releases a deluxe double CD edition of this iconic soundtrack in a brand-new version. The existential and atmospheric impact of Dario Argento’s films stems from the perfect fusion of masterfully crafted visuals and an unforgettable auditory experience. Among the most striking elements of this universe are the scores by Goblin—once heard, they are impossible to forget. Profondo Rosso is a shining example: with its synth-heavy …

*300 copies limited edition* When the ghost in the machine meets the breath in the reed, expect sparks. Electronic sound artist Robin Rimbaud – Scanner joins forces with acclaimed British bass clarinetist Gareth Davis to create an album where circuitry hums, wood vibrates, and the air between notes crackles with possibility. This is no polite meeting of minds — it’s an elegant collision. Scanner’s intricate electronic textures weave around Davis’s deep, resonant tones, blurring the boundary betw…

*200 copies limited edition* Undertones is a composition for percussion idiophones, electronics, and variable field recordings, originally composed for four channels. It develops in four movements and is expressed through a graphic score which provides multiple instructions to the musicians and, simultaneously, requires their input and interpretation of the given instructions, including a particular part of the instrumentation. The field recordings, identified as variable, change with each perfo…

This is another stalwart collection from Townes Van Zandt, and not a dud in the bunch. The melodies here are strong, the lyrics full of Van Zandt's razor sharp insight, and the production is sparse and to the point, bringing to mind the inconspicuous polish of High, Low and in Between. The feel here is a balance between folk and country, with Van Zandt's voice and guitar up front, letting the songs speak for themselves. The tunes are full of heartbreak and hopelessness, making it a great album t…

There are cult bands and then there's Souled American. In 1988, the Illinois group arguably invented "alternative country" with the album Fe. While the alt-country sound is widely recognized as Southern roots rock with an indie-punk sensibility largely defined by Uncle Tupelo's No Depression released two years later — Souled American's early music feels as if it was formed in a vacuum, inspired by the timestretching space of reggae. But over the course of the following decade, Souled American's …

Tim Gick's already-warped patchwork editing of the entire Crazy Doberman output thus far turns increasingly glitched out across the splattered quiltwork of a nine track LP on Aguirre. Any coherent sense of time departs early on the A-side; kicked off with the familiar sound of the Dobes' synth throb and Love-cry woodwinds on top of completely fried electric guitar squiggling, all suspended in spiritual foam; then battered to bits on the greasy flat top of the record's b-side. Ringing modular syn…

*2025 stock* In their on-again-off-again career spanning 30+ years, Le Scrambled Debutante have produced some of the most, err... "difficult listening experiences" as well as some of the most ground-breaking and unique amalgams in music at large! Taking the notions that John Cage laid forth many moons ago and running amuck with them, the music of Le Scrambled Debutante is often rather humorous, yet conveys seriousness and sincerity in experimental music. 'ASSJISM' is no exception. Being provided…

For the third time, they had been sent to this forsaken land. It was neither east nor west, neither north nor south. They said it had once been a kingdom, somewhere in the heart of the old continent, something they had pieced together from the ruins scattered across jagged hills sprouting here and there from the ground. Everyone else went islands, dived to the seabed, drilled at the poles, and explored waste in the east, but these two were sent here again, as if someone were trying to get rid of…

*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 …

*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 …

*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…

Believe That Was Me: An Existential Experience Starring Avant-Garde Minds, Pianist Matthew Putman, Bassist Hill Greene, and Drummer Francisco Mela

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…

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…

2025 Stock. French pianist and composer Melaine Dalibert (b. 1979) presents Magic Square, an eight-track suite that synthesizes algorithmic composition with contemplative performance. A professor at Rennes Conservatory and member of Ensemble 0, Dalibert applies mathematical sequences to piano composition, creating works that challenge conventional temporal perception. Trained at the Paris Superior Conservatoire, Dalibert has established himself as an advocate for minimalist and experimental repe…

2025 stock. Comes with four page, 12" square insert containing liner notes, lyrics and songwriting credits. The haunting voice that would later grace Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and Election emerges in pristine clarity on "Overlander", Trevor Lucas' long-lost 1966 solo debut, now receiving its first official reissue through Earth Recordings. This Australian-born folk legend's earliest statement captures him at his most intimate – weaving original compositions with carefully chosen covers i…

*200 copies limited edition* Overmacht means "force majeure"—a concept that perfectly captures the essence of the electronic music duo of María Pandiello and Jacco Gardner. It represents the uncontrollable forces that shape musical improvisation,where sound unfolds in response to the moment. At its core, Overmacht is musical dialogue with the unexpected, the accidental, and the fragile nature of creation. “Magonia” is a debut album that blends playful precision with emotional depth, it's about d…

With this album, Heleen Van Haegenborgh returns to her roots as a pianist. In recent years, she has primarily composed works on commission for a diverse range of ensembles, from recorders to foghorns. On this solo album, her entire journey of musical encounters and compositions comes together subtly.Van Haegenborgh doesn't think in terms of stories or boxes, but rather in colours, energy, and texture - without drifting into the abstract. She remains true to her personal inside piano world, inclu…
