Plot
*300 copies limited edition* Crossing borders between traditions, sonic territories, and instruments, musicians Tomáš Niesner and Aldana Duoraan created their first collaborative album Plot. The sound of khomus meets guitar melodies simplified into pentatonic scales, intertwining in a dialogue that remains playful while moving between meditative passages and bewitching, hypnotic moments. Solid yet ever-changing, these melodies explore a delicate relationship between the present interactions, the…
The Return Of DJ Grzyb
Born on the fertile slopes of Mount Centyrz, sourced from the remnant ashes of a devastating epidemic that wiped out the region centuries ago, the spirit of DJ Grzyb sprouts from the soil like a white-capped monk clad in fungal vestments. Untethered from human language, waiting to be harvested by virtuous hands; only then delivering its immortal knowledge. Legend tells that it was once carried away by supernatural forces seeking to recall the fairy tales of its ancestors, the protective spirits …
Głowy
*100 copies limited edition* "When AJ Lee stepped back into the ring in September 2025 - after a ten-year break - she introduced herself to a new generation of fans with the words: 'If you haven't heard of me, I am your favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler.' That is exactly what came to my mind as a lead for this blurb when Pokusa asked me to write it. Because that’s what they are: your favorite indie darlings' favorite indie darlings (even though no one uses that term anymore, let alone identi…
Blood Blood Song
"Blood Blood Song continues East of the Valley Blues’ streak of sublime, future-forward acoustic fantasias. For years, the Toronto-based duo, comprised of brothers Kevin and Patrick Cahill, has excelled at an earthy and pensive brand of instrumental music inspired by notions of folk music as a global, rather than regional, idiom.While the duo’s elegant and unassuming virtuosity easily distinguishes East of the Valley Blues from its contemporaries of would-be Bashos and fledgling Faheys, it is th…
All Thoughts Fly
Sacro Bosco (“Sacred Grove”) is the starting point for Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly. Here in solo instrumental mode, the entire record consists of just one instrument, the organ, and represents absolute liberation of the imagination. All Thoughts Fly radiates a melancholic beauty, and is distinguished by fluid transitions of contrasting elements; calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, much like the place that inspires the music. Sacro Bosco is a garden, based in the centre of Ital…
Bury Me In A Corner Of The Yard
Death Is Not The End issue a 14-track tape of vintage and archival Cajun ft. tracks from Segura Brothers, Amede Ardoin, Blind Uncle Gaspard, Sydney Landry & more.
Curse You, Foreign Lands
A 14-track tape pulling together rural Greek demotika recordings from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s. Soaring pentatonic improvisations, odd-metered rhythms, and vocal performances oscillate between heartbreaking laments and ecstatic celebrations.
Holzweg
Forest Factory is the duo of fellow nomads Elvin Brandhi and Andreas Trobollowitsch. Each using self-made turntables, sampler and voice to create a unique acoustic repertoire, suffusing computational and organic tonalities. Their vinyl debut Holzweg is a compositional amalgamation of recording sessions made in diverse ecosystems: Auditorium Novecento, Naples (2023), Ruang MES 56, Yogyakarta (2024), and their Japan tour in 2024. Redefining themselves in a range of contexts lends fluidity and plur…
Wall of Lanterns
*20 copies limited edition* Chiming gamelan like flutterings, a clean ascendant nothingness, recorded live on two iphones.
Copper Maze
*20 copies limited edition* Shrill zen noise guitars and ornate percussion.
Mannequin
"After Aktor and Quietism last year, the Scotsman is in top form, churning out albums that are stunning in their intelligence and pop refinement. If Mannequin is so good, it's for three main reasons. The first is that Momus has returned from his experiments that saw him playing around with AI or composing K-pop songs. We welcome with delight his return to the basics of a pure and perfect pop characterised by a certain economy of means, a DIY ethos — a synth-pop hodgepodge that suits him perfectl…
zakè (20th Anniversary Edition)
Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy…
In A Small Room, Decades Ago
“Hanging in the chill out rooms of the 1990’s rave scene inspired me to create my first ambient album, Atmospherics over 30 years ago. For this album I wanted to journey back and create a love letter to those magical times, and the energy that was felt in those small rooms decades ago.” - JB
String Quartets
Rand Steiger’s Introspective Trilogy is a series of string quartets with electronics composed over a period of eight years for the JACK Quartet. Reflecting on emotional states through musical expression, the quartets explore intense feelings of anger, frustration, and despair in response to alarming political developments in the U.S. and globally, from 2016 when the project began, to catastrophic recent developments. Steiger relates the resurgence of xenophobia and well-known elements of authori…
Désert Méditerranéen
The pianistic writing of Giorgos Koumendakis represents a rare encounter of delicacy, intellectual concentration, and profound compositional coherence. It belongs to a free post-modernity, rooted in the continuity of certain Eastern European composers who developed an independent and original modernity. The cycle Mediterranean Desert, which forms the central axis of this album, is a work for piano consisting of 22 pieces inspired by Mediterranean flora and fauna. It offers a distinctive sound ma…
Loo(p)cy
This album is intended to be a retrospective view of Luigi Manfrin’s compositional journey. Rather than following a chronological order, it identifies loops that run through his musical production: recurrences, foldings and returns that never replicate the same pattern, but instead reactivate structural tensions in different contexts. At the core is the idea of sound as an immanent experience. The unity of the album lies not in the identity of its materials, but in the constant questioning of th…
Stella Kola
Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition - bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared.Given the pair’s respective roots - and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground - one might expect “a brutal blast of acid swirl…
Sommer Im Pfirsichhain
Second edition of 500 on transparent red vinyl. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants like Nový Svě…
Geträumt Hab Ich Vom Martinszug
Second edition of 500 on transparent green vinyl. The third stanza of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem ‘Dem sonnengott’ evokes a narrator who is tortured by Spleen until slumber makes his childlike gloom disappear with music. Although today’s readers might judge these nineteenth century musings of the Imagination as mere stylistic platitudes, they also still speak beyond the grave as universal truths. A mere two hundred years later, similar anxieties and hopes are still channeled through various art f…
Agon
*Includes 16 page booklet and 30 day free MUBI subscription.* Agon is the directorial debut of Giulio Bertelli. It follows a triptych of female athletes as they prepare and then compete in Ludoj 2024, a fictional Olympic Games, in their personal disciplines - judo, fencing, and rifle shooting. Informed by the historical figures of Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and Nadezhda Durova, these women are portrayed against the political, social, technological and physical contexts that dominate the highest leve…
