New Arrivals
Morte Lilás
On Morte Lilás, Força Maior (Pedro Alves Sousa & Pedro Tavares) turn a decaying 400‑year‑old farm into an instrument, spinning sax‑sourced, electronics‑blurred meditations that move like slow weather between trance and lucid, lilac‑tinted reverie.
Oracle
The charming, thoughtfoul Oracle conveys the familiarity and empathy of partners who have worked together for years – light touch, intricacy and sensitivity pervade the session. Oracle wins you over with its warmth and melodicism.
Dream Archives
The trio-debut of pianist, composer and 2025 MacArthur Fellow Craig Taborn with Tomeka Reid and Ches Smith has been eagerly awaited. In its review of the group’s live show from Fall 2025 the German daily Hamburger Abendblatt found nothing put praise for their performance, calling it “unpredictable, exhilarating”. The trio’s approach on Dream Archives is full of complexities, and as the title suggests, a wide musical spectrum is covered as multitudes of idioms seem to be pulled from history and r…
Con Slancio
“These performances, by Heinz Holliger and Marie-Lise Schüpbach, are simply astonishing in their fluency,” wrote UK magazine Gramophone of Holliger’s album Zwiegespräche, and the description applies with equal pertinence to con slancio, with its inspired and inspiring play of energies. The title piece, which opens the programme here, was written by the Swiss composer and nonpareil oboist as a tribute to musical partner Schüpbach: “Since I began playing in duo with Marie-Lise, I’ve been fascinate…
Convergence
With Convergence, his second solo album, Swedish-born bassist Björn Meyer further develops music on the blueprint established with his recording Provenance (2017), making use of the technical potential of the bass guitar to establish striking sonorities and grained textures while also being acutely aware of the acoustic space in which his sounds emerge. In its review of Björn’s previous solo statement, London Jazz News found the bassist demonstrating “that melodic high-jinks and emotional intens…
The West
Constellation Tatsu welcomes back Bifuu_ZONE, which means "a zone of gentle breeze" for a record that resists drama, instead favouring small tonal events that take you to a place you never knew existed but somehow feels familiar. Notes linger, erode and soften as stillness becomes the primary pull, sound unfolding patiently. The presence of the saxophone adds a human warmth as breath brushes against restrained electronic forms. Rather than inviting escape, the album grounds you in a park on a su…
The Struggle Of Making Time Habitable
*50 copies limited edition* fft_Materialism is a new series curated by Riforma. The projects and subjects involved are invited to reflect on their use of the Fourier Transform algorithms. Can a mathematical formula be considered a living being? What are the relationships between non-human and human entities? Is it possible to expand human narratives understanding the intra-actions within the digital realm? These and other questions are part of an investigation which dresses the shapes of experim…
The Trade That Took Down A Bathhouse
160 min of dark adult feedback and static drawing personal, fictional and historical crime perspectives. packaged in poly bag. digital download code included.
Ascend at Sharp Angles
*100 copies limited edition* Experimental electronic artist Heat and White (Olof Persson) announces the release of his new full-length album Ascend at Sharp Angles, now available via Bandcamp and all major digital platforms.
A follow‑up to earlier works like Violence Patterns and Slo‑Mo / Signal Echoes, Ascend at Sharp Angles is a pop record at heart, albeit an immersive, introspective record that blends ambient textures, subtle rhythmic pulses, and delicate melodic fragments into a cohesive son…
Angel By Milo
Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer embraces the search for quiet miracles on first full-length LP Translations.
Panama 77
Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk-funk – is the debut album by Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer and DJ Daniel Villarreal.
Zuzax
Zuzax is a release from Damaged Bug, the long-running solo project of John Dwyer (Osees), built from dozens of previously unfinished songs written across several years. Left aside as other projects took over, these tracks initially felt too scattered to form a coherent whole. Revisited with fresh perspective, they reveal a shared emotional thread.
The record leans into contradiction: abstract but catchy, fried yet sweet, light on its feet while carrying a reflective weight. Dwyer frames the albu…
Vipérine
*300 copies limited edition* "Turner Williams Jr.'s music unfolds like a crossroads, where ancient and modern traditions intersect and attract each other. We hear American Primitive Guitar (Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Sandy Bull), the trance of Indian ragas, melancholy of Celtic ballads, the most experimental side of French folk revival (René Zosso, Rémy Couvez, Pierre-Jean Croset, Valentin Clastrier), while allowing the memory of even more ancient music to filter through (Marin Marais, François C…
Becoming Forest
*125 copies limited edition* After 8 years since their last release, Becoming Forest is the fifth full-length record by Amuleto. It comes from an encounter between the group’s core duo, Francesco Dillon and Riccardo Wanke, and multi-instrumentalist performer and composer Stefano Pilia (Mike Watt, Rokia Traoré, 3/4HadBeenElminated, Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Zaire). This meeting — developed from long-term parallel collaborations and converging musical paths — produced a set of tracks that combin…
Natural Selection
Unlike much of Florian Hecker's recent work, such as 2021's 'Synopsis Seriation' or 'Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera', his acclaimed PAN-released collaboration with Mark Leckey, there's no single overarching narrative that binds 'Natural Selection'. Hecker describes the sprawling, nine-track album as a "constellation of pieces originating from related investigations", and the clue's in the title. Ranging from under a minute to over half an hour, these works have been grouped together because t…
Descendants
Composed especially for the main hall of the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, with its historical organs, Descendants was realized in the just-intonation “Dreyblatt” tuning system, derived from the first eleven harmonic overtones and their extensions based on the fundamental C (A = 415 Hz). The following intervals, identified on the four organs and corresponding to my tuning system, were used in the composition: 1/1, 9/4, 3/2, 7/4, 11/16, 21/16, 25/16, 35/32, 63/32, 77/64, and 81/64. These pitches and th…
Den falmede dag
A new year, some fresh Kashual Plastik. Absolute organic. The campfire is burning, FM radio in the air, with not so frequent frequencies. Gently waiting for the flood that brings no water. An accordion weeps, an organ cries, sweet acoustic guitar chords, a dancing piano, a shy voice, singing intimate stories. Sacred white noise in the off. Bits of found sounds in the accounts. Reverbs reversing. All in happiness, so full of melancholy. Dream music for open-eyed musers. Right from the Scandinavia…
Chronicles from the Arab Cold War
Between innocence and anger, a record of witness. Pharoah Chromium is the project of German-Palestinian musician and sonic performer Ghazi Barakat. With Chronicles from the Arab Cold War Pharoah Chromium continues his long-standing engagement with the Palestinian cause, following Gaza (LP, self-released 2015) and Jean Genet à Chatila (7”, self-released 2018). In the summer of 2023, new material began to take shape from a session with flutes, EWI (an analogue synth played like a wind instrument)…
Hild
*200 copies limited edition* Hild is the first full-length collaboration between zakè (Zach Frizzell) and UK-based rhubiqs (Tom Squires), whose transcontinental dialogue yields an avalanche of deep drone, spacious piano, and immersive texture, alternately colossal and weightless. Both artists have released solo works with Germany’s Affin label (headed by Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner), where their kinship found its footing in naturally-inspired environments full of rich harmony and understa…
Radis
Black Truffle is pleased to present Radis, the first recording by the Oslo-based trio of Andrea Giordano (voice and organetto), Kalle Moberg (accordion) and Jo David Meyer Lysne (guitar and snare drum). Now based in Norway, Giordano is a native of Cuneo, in the Piedmont region in the north-west of Italy and her exploration of the Piedmontese language provides the starting point and conceptual anchor of the trio improvisations heard on Radis, which make use of the words of 20th century Piedmontes…
