Inner Day
For his second solo album, master drummer Jim White travels further into expressionist landscapes of private meditation; his vehicle, an evocative duet of keyboards and drums alongside his debut as a vocalist. Translating his formidable percussive intuitions through this dialogue has given Jim a fresh compositional voice.

Label founder Ricks Ang * It began with ‘Kwaidan’, a simmering study on the lost art of Japanese ghost story-telling.

On ‘Kofū’, Meitei masterfully closes his trilogy of lost Japanese moods with an engaging interrogation of artforms and aesthetics as a provocation — o…

Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve
From the soft, digital murmur of notation software and the absence of physical instruments, The FURICO Music Team (FMT) emerges not as a band, but as a motion. A pendulum. A thought experiment materialized in waveform.
Founded in Japan and composed of TM and TI, FMT is a conceptual unit for sonic construction and transformation. They describe their works as "Auditory Art," where sound is both medium and inquiry. Every note is born in a digital void, composed entirely through notation software a…
Commune

Destroy & Dream
*2025 stock* Electronic trio Evade have been honing their repertoire of sounds crafted within the urban pastoral landscapes of former Portugese colony, Macau. In their latest album 'Destroy & Dream,' Evade takes on the view of a distant observer, questioning life, the earth, the universe and the values of its living creatures, yet with the consolation of dreams, seclusion and shelter.

i hold a wish for you

A delicate immersion into quiet, reflective spaces, it is inspired by the solitary beauty of Banana Yoshimoto’s novella 'Moonlight Shadow'.

Feelings
Feelings marks Jake Henry’s long-awaited return as a leader, more than a decade after his debut with Sweet Talk Glitterbomb. This album is a deeply personal exploration of the intricate harmonic language and angular counterpoint Henry developed during his formative years as a guitarist. Drawing on the frenetic energy of math rock, raw intensity of metal, and chaotic textures of noise, Henry recontextualizes common song form into a bold, genre-defying soundscape.
The quartet—featuring Brian Krock…
Look Both Days
First meetings are always a risk, but if the vibrations are right and the doors are open, magic will be made.
