Public Works and Utilities
Public Works and Utilities by Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan is the sixth full-length album from the British electronic project helmed by Gordon Chapman-Fox. Returning to the conceptual world of post-war British urban planning, this record shifts focus from spectral nostalgia to the stark realities of public infrastructure’s managed decline, channeling the anxieties and bleak optimism of contemporary Britain through atmospheric electronica and abstract, danceable beats.
Magnetism
Super Tip! Kali Malone and Drew McDowall have orbited each other's work for over a decade, their individual explorations of sustained tones and harmonic space suggesting an inevitable collaboration. When they finally entered McDowall's Brooklyn studio together, what emerged on Magnetism transcends mere musical compatibility. Malone has spent recent years extending the legacy of Éliane Radigue, redefining what electronic minimalism can accomplish through pipe organ and synthesizer. Her compositio…
Tulpa
Tulpa by Charmaine Lee transforms voice, electronics, and feedback into a vivid organism of noise, song, and silence. Produced by Randall Dunn and released on her label Kou Records, the album bends improvised vocal gestures into sculptural form—an intimate encounter between body and circuitry that questions where identity begins and resonance ends.
Riparian
Composer and violist Eyvind Kang announces the release of Riparian, his first album of solo viola d’amore performances via Kou Records. Kang is a long time collaborator of Jessika Kenney, Bill Frisell, Laurie Anderson, Bennie Maupin, Stuart Dempster and many other luminaries, as well as a substantial contributor to recordings by SUNN O))) (Monoliths and Dimensions) and Blonde Redhead (Misery is a Butterfly). He is a disciple of spiritual jazz violinist Michael White and a lifelong student of rag…
Désinances
Désinances is a collection of pieces taken from two contrasting recording sessions. The first was intended as a set of raw materials made specifically for a collaborative project with Franck Vigroux, and provided the impetus for the making of this album, with the second following on shortly afterwards. Both occasions yielded different musical results, yet possess a similar intention - owing something to the liminality of crepuscular daylight and the nighttime darkness during which they were both…
Standing / Engraving
Standing / Engraving by Jean D.L. is a meditative suite where solo guitar sketches and field recordings fold into a chiaroscuro of memory and texture. Drawing from experimental folk and nocturnal ambient, the album patiently sculpts sound and silence into subtle vignettes, inviting the listener into an immersive domain of reflection and suspended time.
There Will Be Fireworks
The London based singer and keyboard player Dominic Appleton, known since the early eighties for his musical activity in the post punk/dream pop band Breathless, and perhaps even more for his vocal contributions to the legendary This Mortal Coil project on 4AD, joins forces with the Milanese producer and sound artist Matteo Uggeri, active from 1993 behind several projects spanning from industrial to post-rock and ambient soundscapes, known for collaborating with artists such as Maurizio Bianchi,…
Live at Epsilon Spires
Feeding Tube Records is excited to present the first North American release by this amazing Japanese sound artist. Yosuke Fujita goes by the name FUJI|||||||||||TA, perhaps so he won't be mistaken for the guitarist of the same name who plays with Better Days, or perhaps because he just likes to hear people try to figure out how to say, 'FUJI|||||||||||TA,' properly. Either way, FUJI|||||||||||TA is a wonderful avant-garde project that has been active for almost two decades. In its current iterat…

Hard Ware
Patrick Cowley’s Hard Ware is a ten-track time capsule from the late disco era, weaving together raw synth grooves, industrial textures, and playful electronic vamps. The album is expansive, sensual, and just a touch sardonic, showcasing Cowley’s boundary-pushing imagination and pioneering electronic production sensibility.
It’s Always About Love
Ancient Infinity Orchestra’s It’s Always About Love is a lush outpouring of melodic, communal jazz, where improvisational freedom and thoughtful orchestration balance earthiness with cosmic ambition. Led by double-bassist Ozzy Moysey, the album draws inspiration from spiritual jazz icons and blends folk, jazz, and classical leanings within a 15-member ensemble, presenting a heartfelt meditation on connection and celebration.
Achlys
Jon Porras’s Achlys unfolds a meditative narrative across eight drone-based pieces: fragmented guitar melodies and modular synths swirl through dense atmospheres, echoing elemental habitats and ambiguous emotional states. The album rewards careful listening for its textures, cyclical patterns, and subtle resonance, inviting reflection on impermanence and change.
Monitor
Monitor, the 1981 solo album by Gianni Leone (Leonero), stands at the crossroads of Italian New Wave and progressive rock, offering a singular listening experience that both anticipates and transcends its era. Conceived in California following Leone’s transformative years with Balletto di Bronzo and his ventures in New York, this release embodies a synthesis of transatlantic influences and personal artistic exploration.
Dinsterwenk
* Edition of 200 * Baljuw is the improvisation project of Matthias Dewilde (Nagløed, Matterhorn Well) and Nicolas Van Belle (Suura, Ever Present, Sarcastic Fringehead). Although the two musicians were longtime friends, it still took until 2023 for the two to begin “playing” together, stimulated by a shared interest in sound, texture and transformation. A series of improvisation sessions and some tasteful performances (including at the Ghent Citadelic festival) followed, which only stimulated the…
Tom Winter, Tom Spring
Debut LP by the duo of Gangloff and Joynes, finding novel ways to combine their accomplished takes on avant folk, American primitive, and outsider sound into a unique and beautiful jumble. Side A’s “Rapid City” is a brisk fingerpicked jaunt featuring Joynes’ unique acoustic/electric hybrid sound, followed by “West Cavalier” where Gangloff’s sawing fiddle and Joynes’ guitar take on a straight mountain-style tune. “Two Bishops” is a languorous and atmospheric Joynes’ guitar feature that slips into…
Thin Peaks
"Thin Peaks" is the sixth album by the microtonal tuba trio Microtub, featuring Robin Hayward (UK/DE), Peder Simonsen (NO), and Martin Taxt (NO). Initially developed during an artist residency in Andersabo, Sweden, the two pieces "Thin Peaks" and "Andersabo” underwent several adaptations before being recorded in 2022. The pieces draw on the acoustic phenomena of half-valve combinations, creating distinctive timbres and harmonic spectra based on the unique half-valve signature of each tuba. Whils…
