Is Peace Wild?
An album of hypnagogic nocturnes that relentlessly searches for a sense of calm in the great unknown, 'Is Peace Wild?' is German producer, drummer and visual artist Ludwig Wandinger's upcoming release on light-years. He dreamt it up while unpacking the breakdown of a long relationship, working in hotel rooms during the downtime between a series of chaotic live shows. To help empty his mind, Wandinger developed a suite of soulful reflections that prioritize harmony over rhythm and clarity over tr…
What A Beautiful Place
This recorded autobiography of Catherine Howe, age 20, briefly appeared in 1971. Too young for memoirs, most artists have barely established any sort of musical competence by the age of legal adulthood, let alone compositions matching the maturity and complexity of Howe's. What A Beautiful Place, however, is a prodigious effort wrought from the melancholy ruminations of post-adolescence. The album's twelve songs unfold like a classic bildungsroman, beginning in the smoke-stained industrial count…

Eel Asp Flaps Feet
Fifty years after I first encountered the music of Orchid Spangiafora, it is a pleasure to be listening to new work by this most bonny of modern sound manipulators. Like Flee Pasts Ape Elf (FTR 096), which we reissued in expanded form in 2013, Eel Asp Flays Feet (the title of which is an anagram of the earlier set) is an assemblage of immaculate invention. It manages to produce a unique splotch of confusing analog surrealism in an increasingly digital world, and Robert Carey (aka Orchid himsel…
I Greet You At The Beginning Though I Can’t Control Your Exit
Moth Drakula’s second release on Misanthropic Agenda finds them revisiting and refining early industrial explorations with a more mature and precise ear; utilizing cracked microphones, raw natural sounds, sparse voices, analogue synthesizers and various samplers which scrub and oscillate the source material into peals of fevered dread. The impetus and focus of this recording was based on the process of attempting to bury the psychic history of a loved one. “I Greet You At The Beginning Though I …

Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte
Tip! Nærværet is a Scandinavian collaboration by Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Andreas Barsleth (Jordmenneske). If you are familiar with their individual works, you’ll know they operate on the same wavelength. On ’Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte’, they’ve created something truly beautiful: serene landscapes of tangible presence. Comforting sounds, gathered from rural surroundings blend seamlessly with restrained, still instrumentation. These elements are manipulated with tapes and l…
Mythology Of Brain & Body
Residual is back on Satatuhatta with a heavy-hitting full length CD titled Mythology of Brain & Body. As the artist perfectly describes: Residual is a waking dream built of steel and electricity, a million synapses firing at the same time.

RMSS has been lurking in the Finnish noise underground for a few years now, releasing a handful of self-released cassette tapes, each raising the bar higher and higher. The pressings have been quite small, with limited circulation, but enough to generate excitement among many fans of Finnish noise. Now is the perfect time to present Lihasmuisti, the first full-length CD by RMSS.
