*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* New album from Sweden's cult act LẼTUM. Since 2001 Mathias Henriksson has forged his way through dense tapestries of sonic angst. His latest opus is weaved from nightmarish visions from an out-of-body experience, a breach in existence. Life, death and time become one, manifesting and dissolving. LẼTUM's mournful minimalist soundscapes are as always expertly controlled and display unique compositional skills and emotive depth. Pure and Transcendental.Editi…

It's with great joy that we welcome one of Japan's most revered Ambient act. Manabu Hiramoto has been creating deeply distinct atmospherics since 2003. On this new album he's combined ritualistic elements with lush, foreboding passages, creating an ode to his country's unique nature worship. Based on Japanese mythology sourced from Shinto and Buddhism, "The Birth of the Gods” has at its core nature worship, that the gods exist in all of nature. Composed from deep drones, organic ethereal ambienc…

*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition*  "Ecatombe" is the fourth album from Italy's Black Industrial act Pavor Nocturnus.

Screams and funeral mournings echo in these tracks, accompanied by percussive rhythms that recall the strokes that cast the cattle sacrificed to the gods. T…

‘Murals For Immersion’ is Kenneth James Gibson’s 6th ambient outing under his given name, this time around collaborating with saxophonist Paul Carman who played and recorded with Frank Zappa in what Zappa called The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life. In late 2022, Gibson and Carman started getting together at Gibson’s Idyllwild studio, laying down tons of Saxophone sounds - layers of drones, melody lines, and off kilter noises. Gibson processed, sculpted, and arranged these sounds into full…

Big Tip! *200 copies limited edition* Tears In Limbo consists of six tracks of lo-fi sound collages in which Goldblum more than ever blur the lines between composition and improvisation, live performing and home recording, raw expression and an obsessive eye for detail.

The drone-pop consternations of Ekin Fil emerge through vaporous tone and forlorn, distant song, as if plucked from a dream. These exist on their own accord, moving with their own internal logic of an emotion heaviness that belies any the passing observation of this as mere shoegazing ambience. Her songs, her compositions find themselves adjacent the fragmented etherealization of Elisabeth Fraser's voice from a forgotten scene of a particular David Lynch film, as a Asmr trigger for Proustian rec…

Starting from the end of 2022, as part of an urban regeneration project through artistic experimentation, I recorded the sounds of the industrial area of Bari but also the voices of the elderly and children. Over time the sounds (human voices but also the voices of machinery transport and non-human nature) began to mix in the memory and under the action of the imagination.

These acousmatic works, united by a unitary narrative path, refer to a compositional "canon", implicitly inaugurated by Luc Ferrari in the 60s, which proposes real "sound photographs", which he defined, even ironically, "anecdotal music".  Just as some of the trends in painting, plastic arts and photography are figurative - that is, they represent the world in an iconic way (with a greater or lesser level of realism) - in the same way many of Ferrari's acousmatic works consist, at the base, of M…

*200 copies limited edition* "What remains so remarkable about the band's album is that... the performances retain an energy, but also a naivety, that somehow evokes both the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground — often within the same song." —Shindig! Magazine In 1968, the Plastic Cloud released one of the greatest underground psychedelic albums ever made: a swirl of gossamer vocals and Tolkien references swathed in the some of the most relentless fuzz guitar you will ever hear. It is …

Rekem presents the first physical release by I broke the vase, a project formed by Eva Matsigkou and Nefeli Sani in 2018. The two create musical performances through listening, free improvisation and composition. Central to their practice is the writing and reading of autoethnographic texts, the participation of the body, as well as interactions with space and environment. Most of their work appears in the form of one-off projects, in a constant state of flux that allows them to remain sensitive…

Krause also spent several years in an asylum. His “Cape of the Big Hope” was released in 1969, with musicians who appear on Danny Ben Israel's Bullshit 3 1/4; in 1970, some problems with the law landed Kraus in jail. H…

2024 stock. "Decibel is a fundamental point of reference for the preservation and refurbishment of the rock in opposition genre in Latin American lands. Originally released 20 years after the excellent, challenging debut effort "El Poeta del Ruido" (and soon afterwards rereleased with bonus tracks), "Fortuna Virilis" happens to be the ultimate statement of decibel's musical vision. This album, unlike its distant predecessor, does not give preferential room to sound processing and tape effects, b…

Back in 2012, after series of concerts alongside each other, Vincent Dupas, Jean Baptiste Geoffroy and Jérôme Vassereau created Binidu in parallel with their respective bands, Fordamage and Pneu to name just a few, then very singular and of the most joyful french rock music.

2024 reissue. Dettinger’s Intershop and Oasis have long been held, by many fans of ambient and electronic music, to be some of the finest albums in their field. Produced by the mysterious Olaf Dettinger, about whom not much is publicly known, they were some of the earliest full-lengths released by the then-nascent Kompakt, and in many ways, they both articulated and defined the sound that would come to be known as Pop Ambient, while also existing, somehow, to the leftfield of any clearly recogni…

*50 copies limited edition* Pieces of debris washed up on a coastline shrouded in mist. Gratification comes from an eternal search for solace. Locked away at the top of a lighthouse somewhere on an unnamed isle, Grady Steele broadcasts to those within the beacon’s reach. A soundsystem built of driftwood and salvaged car stereos is pieced together with precision and laboriously dragged to the top of the obelisk. A timeless fugue state spent playing arpeggios on a Spanish guitar, the PA system ebb…

*300 copies limited edition* Mondkopf, the brainchild of Paul Regimbeau, returns to Hands in the Dark with ‘Waves’, five years after his label-debut ‘How Deep is our Love?’.

This album was recorded at Liu Ying Studio in Shenzhen. An improvised session on acoustic guitar from start to finish, it nonetheless demonstrates a highly original, coherent artistic conception: a distinct “Oriental” aesthetic redefined by Mamer’s own creative vision. In tracks like “Sleepless”, “Man from the East”, and “Backyard”, Mamer ingeniously deconstructs and deploys traditional Han Chinese music scales to serve his own purpose, adding artful ambivalence and rich subtleties to an unmista…

Sharing a practice space, they embarked on a musical journey that would lead to the birth of Room 31. Inspired by their surroundings and the room number of their current practice space, they chose…

Inspired by witnessing the broken tension and renewed possibilities of a laptop breaking down at a gig – not to mention the void left behind by the sudden end of a relationship – Pentu’s latest release is a jump-cut menagerie of musical moments.
