Through Hollow
Huge Tip! *300 copies limited edition* Solo, duo, orchestra. An extraordinary sonic spectacle exploring acoustic phenomena through three forms of performance.In early summer 2025, a collective sonic experiment took place deep within the vast reverberant space beneath the body of Uchinokura Dam, surrounded by the mountains of Shibata, Niigata, Japan. Led by two singular artists who continually transcend the boundaries of their respective practices—Otomo Yoshihide, whose work traverses diverse mus…
Motorcycles and Cherry Wind
Isik Kural’s Motorcycles and Cherry Wind is a sonic travelogue of stories waiting and wanting to be told, of seekers passing through a loop of time as they become witnesses to the glories of the ancient ruins. The album holds sounds of timeless quality—like inherited folklore, draped with secondhand nostalgia—taking the shape of whoever is eager enough to claim it as their own. Rich and full of character like the dusty mystery of an archeological site, Kural whispers to the living and the long g…
Second Guessing
Claptrap presents Second Guessing, a second album of tropical, danceable and experimental pop. The band is led by songwriter, singer and guitarist Eric Pasquereau — best known for his work with Papier Tigre, La Colonie de Vacances and The Patriotic Sunday — alongside multi-instrumentalists and sonic tightrope walkers Julien Chevalier and Paul Loiseau (also active in La Terre Tremble!!! and Borja Flames), recently joined by keyboardist and vocalist Elia Guérin (JoGo, Bleu Shinobi). For more than …
Autostop Rosso Sangue
Cam Sugar is delighted to present a new chapter in its Morricone Segreto series, dedicated to the hidden and most daring works of Maestro Ennio Morricone. With Autostop Rosso Sangue (aka Hitch-Hike) from 1977, Morricone composed one of his most fascinating and unconventional scores, written for the psychological road thriller directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile.
The film follows a couple's descent into fear and violence after picking up a dangerous hitchhiker, and Morricone's music mirrors th…
One
*300 copies limited edition* One is a self-titled psychedelic and progressive rock album released in 1969 by the British group One, originally issued on the Fontana label. Built around singer and multi-instrumentalist Alan Marshall and keyboard player Bobby Sass, the group brought together musicians with strong studio and live backgrounds, creating a sound that is loose, soulful and unusually expansive. The album mixes blues-rock, soul, jazz touches and psychedelic improvisation into five long p…
Strewn with Crimson
Wil Bolton’s forthcoming album, Strewn with Crimson, is an evocative sonic portrait of East London’s Lea Valley. Shaped by the region's wetlands, marshes, and industrial edgelands, the project weaves together site-specific field recordings, found objects, modular synthesis, and processed acoustic instruments. The album’s title draws inspiration from the wild poppy and herb-robert flowers growing across derelict Victorian filter beds, symbolising a complex landscape where rich biodiversity and ec…
Genius Loci
On his debut album, Genius Loci, London-based producer Pavel Doronin combines modular electronics with theremin, saxophone and a rich array of field recordings, mapping out a psychogeography that criss-crosses from the Bavarian banks of the Danube to the Irish Sea and back again.
Doronin's breadcrumb trail suggests an urban drift from tennis court to medieval gate, eroded signs and municipal heraldry caught in relief like hallucinatory wax rubbings. Soaring melodies (courtesy of guests Grégoire …
My dreams are only nightmares
While nightmares are deeply personal, they simultaneously reflect broader societal conditions. — m preis
LoFi Brutalist Action Jazz
*100 copies limited edition* I went looking for a dictionary definition of brutalism, trying to understand it a bit better. It had been our starting point since the first rehearsal. But did we actually understand it? Does any of it have something to do with our music? Does it even make sense — instrumental pieces inspired by buildings?We didn't set out to make a genre out of it. We set out to strip things down. Take a melody, take a rhythm, cut away everything that isn't essential — no polish, n…
Vertical Vignettes
Celebrating the 100th release on Kit, The Hague artist — and overseer of esteemed Plafond and Rubber imprints — Ruben Verkuylen squints through the telescope to reveal a high-rise debut of constructivist electronics and domestic bricolage, as The Social Lover. 'Vertical Vignettes' looms like a cutaway apartment block of overlapping lives and skintled brickwork. These are less songs than scenes; inspired in equal measure by Jacques Tati's 'Playtime' and Georges Perec's 'Life: A User's Manual', Ve…
Outside the Lines, Vol. 8
“…pretty wild… with aspects of surrealism… a strange sort of pathos… a kind of absurdity… a kind of muted spectacularism…” — Neil Luck
Nonclassical presents the latest instalment of the Outside the Lines-compilation series, co-curated with artist and composer Neil Luck, out on limited edition cassette and digital on 23rd October. Outside the Lines Vol. 8 brings together a seemingly disparate group of UK-based artists working in the gaps between composition, spoken word, performance art and elect…
