New Arrivals

Offerings is a new project from Bruno Silva (Ondness, Serpente) and Gonçalo F. Cardoso (Lagoss, Prophetas, Hannibal Chew III). Born from a shared obsession with the peripheral—rain puddles, empty city spaces and the flickering crawl of late-night credits—the album occupies a stalled threshold; a space that refuses to resolve into a clear image. It does not strive for the "new" nor the "old"; it exists in a state of suspension, like end credits that refuse to roll, fixed in a permanent noumenal s…

*200 copies limited edition* The sun sat high above the desert outside Joshua Tree on October 17, 2024, baking the rocks and shrubbery outside the Farrington Observatory as a small group of invited guests ventured up a steep path towards the telescope. Kyle Simon, the artist and printmaker who founded the Observatory, was standing outside the print studio sat below the towering cylindrical building, greeting friends alongside his wife Sarah and lifelong friend Brian Weitz, the musician widely kn…

The album Works for Organ documents and brings to life Bernhard Lang’s engagement with this instrument – which dates back to his youth – in its most diverse forms. The musical roots lie in his own improvisational practice as part of a band, in his ongoing interest in microtonally composed music, and in his long-standing exploration of loops, a technique that can relate to various musical parameters. Furthermore, the exceptional skills of Lang’s performers and their artistic interests play a sign…

On SLG3, Juan Manuel Cidrón returns to vinyl with four long-form electronic landscapes shaped by analogue circuitry, minimal pulse and cosmic drift. The Almería synthesist turns S, L, G and 3 into open territories - desert-wide, elemental and quietly visionary - where natural rhythm and machine logic meet in a patient, dream-lit dialogue.

On Solos II, Anton Toorell turns two simultaneously played guitars into a shimmering architecture of tone, tension and air. Recorded in an Italian wine cellar, its three extended pieces use altered tunings, open strings and resonant decay to create lucid, microtonal currents - rigorous in design, but touched with the ease of unhurried improvisation.

Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.

Cacciamali is an exploration of diegetic sound, folk chants and traditional rhythms and instrumentation building upon Milan based Rosso Polare’s last outing Campo Amaro and the subsequent departure of co-founder Anna Vezzosi from the group. Where the 2024 album incorporated a heavy use of folklore as a new tool, Cacciamali explores the influence further by bringing in a host of collaborative players including Italian avant-garde veteran Riccardo Sinigaglia, sound artist and researcher HMOT (Stas…

“The role of the composer is to act as a filter between reality and the listener, transforming real life into something different from what the listener is accustomed to,” summarizes composer Mioko Yokoyama, reflecting her personal view on her profession. She wants to show that contemporary music is not difficult or hard to listen to. In order to compose, she must first open up new realms of experience, not only through writing, but also through study and analysis. Her aim is to enable people to…

*200 copies limited edition* Recorded live at The Jazz Cafe in Camden, London, on the year's so called "Blue Monday," Live from Camden captures The London Ambient Orchestra in a single evening of collective improvisation. Conceived during the depths of winter, the performance reflects the ensemble's commitment to creating music that encourages presence, reflection, and restoration. While Blue Monday began as a marketing invention, it has since become associated with conversations surrounding men…

*300 copies limited edition* “Life with my son is real fun. For this album, my efforts to make music that documents or evokes moments of grace and gratitude focused more tightly on our time together. In finding inspiration there, the music sometimes became busier, sometimes more pensive. It’s all reflective. There are moments here when you can literally hear us at play, but more often I’m trying to musically articulate the feeling of ‘I’m so glad we’re doing this, right now, together.’ A through…

In honor of the 40th anniversary of David Lynch's 1986 masterpiece Blue Velvet, Varese Sarabande is excited to present a new vinyl edition of Angelo Badalamenti's music for the film. Lynch and Badalamenti, who both passed away in 2025 after decades as one of cinema's most iconic creative collaborators, forged a singular sonic world from Twin Peaks to Mulholland Drive. This new edition presents the soundtrack composed and conducted by Badalamenti in a special collectible "rainbow foil" jacket.

Fiends of Dope Island is the eighth and final studio album (and 13th album overall) by the Cramps. The Cramps resurrected their own record label Vengeance Records to release the album in 2003. It was recorded in Hollywood in August 2002. It was self-produced by Poison Ivy and Lux Interior. The album takes its title from the 1959 film, Fiend of Dope Island. "Fissure of Rolando" was dedicated to John Agar (1921-2002).

For a while the trio just called itself "Me, you and Sue", which suited them - none of the three has ever seemed especially concerned with naming things. Adam Bohman, Sue Lynch and Crystabel Efemena Riley found each other through London's Horse Improvised Music Club and have been playing together in various rooms for years. This is their first record as a three, and it needed a real title. Lynboril Lisinopril takes Lyn(ch), Bo(hman) and Ril(ey), puts the invented word into a search engine and ke…

*200 copies limited edition* Jump is a new pan-European trio bringing together three musicians from different generations and backgrounds: British pianist Pat Thomas, Danish saxophonist and composer Maria Dybbroe, and Italian vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrea S. Giordano. The three met in Oslo in August 2021, as the pandemic was finally beginning to loosen its grip. Their first encounter was immediate and symbiotic, making it clear that a new band had taken shape. Since then, J…

*100 copies limited edition* Some ensembles begin with a repertoire. Others begin with a community. Airlft emerged in Philadelphia in 2022 as an ongoing monthly gathering initiated by drummer and percussionist Kevin Diehl: a space where composers, improvisers and listeners could meet in an open process of experimentation. Over the course of four years, that process gradually evolved into a shared musical language, one shaped less by fixed personnel than by sustained collaboration. Spatial Recogn…

Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present Sound as a Bell: collages of piano, percussion, electronics, and found sound stemming from the correspondence between sound artist Fergus Kelly and pianist John Tilbury. Through Kelly’s studio transformations of Tilbury’s recordings – where sounds are stretched, reversed, layered and refracted – the listener is left to drift in a tumbling kaleidoscope that inspires listening at once ambient, improvisatory, surreal, electroacoustic, and …

*100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present gwaith anwel, the first recorded document of the long-running musical partnership between violinist Angharad Davies and double bassist Dominic Lash. Recorded in Oxford's Holywell Music Room, one of Europe's oldest purpose-built concert halls, the album distils almost twenty years of mutual listening, improvisation and artistic exchange, bearing traces of a shared musical path shaped through collaborations with figures as diverse as Tony Conr…

Kepla debuts on Liverpool label Sink with new compilation “Outside Time”. Following recent collaborations with Steven Warwick (PAN) and Dialect (RVNG Intl), “Outside Time” brings productions and experiments spanning ten years together for the first time. Early forays draw inspiration from musique concrete, dub and industrial, using granular synthesis resampling from drum packs, repitched melodies and phone recordings, resulting in a collection of tracks both lo-fi and highly detailed. ‘Part Exhu…

A space is often described by its dimensions. The height of the ceiling, the expanse between walls. Division into functional elements of varying density follows. We have ideas of how such dimensions should be balanced to work well for sound — the classical concert hall, a Northward mastering room. It’s tempting to try and use this idea of space to understand Space the group (Lisa Ullén, Elsa Bergman, Anna Lund). To calculate their cartesian co-ordinates: dynamics that run from whisper soft to pu…
