Coloured Vinyl version. Can music liberate us? Francisco Mela, who worked and partnered with the legendary jazz musician McCoy Tyner, believes so. On this album, the second volume of Music Frees Our Souls, Mela collaborates with pianist Cooper-Moore and bassist William Parker to build a 2-part extended track project of advanced dialogue between 3 of the genre's most important instruments. Tyner was well-known for his boundless musical talent, and perhaps best-known for playing in John Coltrane’s…

Blue Vinyl version. Before any instrumentation, Francisco Mela addresses his fellow musicians, pianist Matthew Shipp and bassist William Parker, with a sense of anticipation and affirmation, “Okay guys, ready? Rolling!” The sense of camaraderie and his artist-focused approach is heard throughout the album’s majestic improvisation—as well as in its inspiration, dedicated to Mela’s longtime musical partner, the legendary jazz musician McCoy Tyner. Tyner was well-known for his boundless musical tal…

Coloured Vinyl version. In the first lockdown, Matthew Putman (on keyboard) and Michael Sarian (on trumpet and flugelhorn) began to meet up (with precautions) for semi-regular sessions in Sarian’s makeshift home studio. The conditions were less-than-ideal—a borrowed 20-year-old keyboard, an inadequate microphone, and cramped NYC apartment acoustics—but they continued their “weekly pilgrimages, searching for [their] cadences, rhythms and melodies through the Fall.” The sessions gave them much-nee…

Coloured Vinyl version. New York United is an experimental group at the musical intersection of a classic New York avant-garde scene and forward-looking electronic production. Comprised of multi-instrumentalist and 577-cofounder Daniel Carter (Saxophone, Flute, Trumpet, Clarinet), electronic producer Tobias Wilner from Blue Foundation (Synthesizers, Percussion, Vocals, Piano, Guitar), Wu-Tang Clan bass player Djibril Toure and 577’s Federico Ughi (Drums), their sound reflects their decades of co…

Coloured Vinyl version. How do you welcome adventure? Longtime comrades, legendary Daniel Carter, Matthew Shipp, William Parker and Gerald Cleaver investigated this in their first album, Welcome Adventure, Vol. 1, resulting in 577 Records’ best-selling release in the 20 years we’ve been operating. Now, the group is trying the question again with their second astonishing volume, taken from the same historical recording session. Daniel Carter (Saxophone, Clarinet) has been collaborating with Willi…

Cloudy Clear Vinyl version. Are you ready for magic? The master musicians Daniel Carter, Matthew Shipp, William Parker and Gerald Cleaver will provide access with this album, the first they have released after playing together for decades. Daniel Carter has been collaborating with William Parker since the early 70s and with Matthew Shipp starting in the mid 80s. This trio has played together on many recordings but by adding legendary drummer Gerald Cleaver to the mix they have created a masterpi…

Yellow Vinyl version. Dave Tucker says that he brought this disparate group of musicians together for a live performance at London’s Cafe Oto last March on “an educated guess,” predicting that the artists - Mark Sanders (Drums & Percussion), Pat Thomas (Piano & Keys), Dave Tucker (Guitar) and Thurston Moore (Guitar) - would be able to create something extraordinary through improvisation. The condition of their encounter would later become the collective’s name, an “Educated Guess” and the eponym…

Ichiro Tsuji's 1992 Dissecting Table album, first issued on CD by Dark Vinyl: synthesizer soundtracks, harsh vocals and metallic percussion, remastered by Tsuji and pressed on vinyl for its 25th anniversary.

I first met La Monte Young at a 1981 performance of his piece The Well-Tuned Piano at the Dia Art Foundation’s beautiful Harrison Street space. When I got a chance after the show to speak with La Monte and his wife, Light artist Marian Zazeela, I was surprised at their friendly demeanor and sense of humor. We began working together shortly after that. Since then, I have been playing music in Harmonic Series tuning. When Brian [Chase of Chaikin Records] first spoke to me about the possibility of …

The Heads’ 2026 tour deforce, their swan song album for all… sold out on all vinyl formats. Rooster has decided to repress one last time, the end of the year push is here with the end of times supernova colour in colour destroyed galaxy “Supernova” edition. It will be released almost 30 years on from their seminal debut “Relaxing With”, this will be their fifth studio album proper. The band are a well established though reclusive part of the UKs underground /cult psychedelic rock scene. A consta…

Dreamlord Recordings has become a trusted doorway into records that take you on a journey. Arboria return with Arboria III, and Messers Parkes and Wood are ready to open that door one more time. Its eleven pieces form a woodland tale that begins at sunrise, passes through hidden gardens and moonlit rites, then settles into sleep with the promise of another morning close by. Across Arboria III, Arboria use a modest group of instruments to tell a story with remarkable clarity. Acoustic guitar keep…

*2026 stock. 60 copies limited edition* Sometimes it takes a moment of stillness and silence to discover a new direction. Midday marks a subtle shift from my earlier ambient work, leaning toward more structured compositions, minimal melodic fragments, soft pulses, and loops. I wrote midday between December 2024 and March 2025, taking inspiration from Sunday outings that carried a sense of calm that lingered. I took the album artwork during one of these outings, while I was picking oranges in the…

*100 copies limited edition* Tsss Tapes presents Slani pejza​ž​i by the trio formed by Manja Ristic (Serbia), Joana Guerra (Portugal) and Verónica Cerrotta (Argentina).

*60 copies limited edition* Gonçalo F. Cardoso (of Discrepant), together with Mestre André and Daniel García, create an extended sound collage of field recordings, percussion, and jungle-like atmospheres, very much in keeping with the Discrepant sound.

*60 copies limited edition* A percussion-and-synthesizer duo by Paper Cuts, a Polish duo made up of Wojtek Kurek and Łukasz of Bouchons d’Oreilles—something like chopped-up techno.

*200 copies limited edition* The Hands of Cain were Dimitris Chorianopoulos (vocals, bass), Spyros ‘S. Adam’ Floros (drums), Costas Papakitsos (synthesisers) and Dimitris Stamatiou (guitar) from Athens, Greece. In 1983 the The Hands of Cain evolved from one of the first groups of the Greek punk scene of the early 80’s called Ausschwitss when their music was gaining a darker shade and their lyrics were changing to English. Unlike their former group, the The Hands of Cain had very little public ex…

Otto Benson presents Peanut, his second LP with Palto Flats this year, following Songs Before Bed. Known for his prolific output and enthusiastic following, with music released under the aliases OTTO and Memo Boy, Otto released Peanut as a digital-only album earlier this year to wide acclaim, including a Best New Music mention from Pitchfork. On Peanut, Otto Benson stretches out as a songwriter, fully exploring the use of voice for the first time. Accompanied mostly by the strumming of his guita…

*300 copies limited edition* Since 2009 Connecticut psych band Mountain Movers (previously having released albums through the now defunct Trouble In Mind label) have delivered a lengthy discography floating through rich textures and experimental sounds. On this instrumental album the band build from the sounds of 2024’s double album Walking After Dark, while trading in vocals for synths, keys, percussion, and drum machines. Self-recorded and mastered by John Miller, Knifethrowers sprawls five tr…

*100 copies limited edition* The Smoothing presents as a highly contemporary collection, bringing together murmured field recordings, processed guitars and blurred electronics in a way that unites the outer edges of Hype Williams, John T. Gast’s Gossiwor project, Thomas Bush and The Dengie Hundred, but mostly sounds like the formation of its own internal universe. There is a very murky version of London that is being summoned here, almost certainly translated from a small room late at night, bot…

Paris-based experimental artist Near Stoic returns with Under the Pomegranate Shade, his third full-length album, and his second for Third Kind Records following his successful 2021 album ‘Notebook (Thoughts & Short Stories)’. His new album follows a single relationship from its sudden beginning to its equally sudden end. The title comes from a small, vivid memory: the way his former partner's cheeks would flush the deep red of a pomegranate. The image was tied to her favorite film, Sergei Paraj…

“As already demonstrated on its predecessor, II, Corvid One Cassette excels at constructing aural landscapes and sonic architectures in which the listener can fully immerse themselves. III takes these ambitions further, expanding an already distinctive musical vocabulary without sacrificing its experimental character. A must-listen.” - Diusalien

Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley return with a follow up to 2024’s ‘Salt Coast’, this time with a much deeper, double album-length dive into their sometimes unsettling brand of radiophonic acid, or “exploratory electronic music that lurks in mental doorways.” 16mm is the soundtrack to the type of dreams where you find dusty old reels of film from your past containing partially hidden memories, or long forgotten excerpts of you and your friends’ abandoned surrealist movies. Possibly you’ll …

*200 copies limited edition* 'The late 70s, early 80s, that fierce period of time was all about wearing one mask after another, as we experimented, evolved. After the riot of Punk Rock back in '76 /'77, which certainly taught us all a lesson, so many of us lurched back to Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, at London's one-nighters for the new breed of arbiters of taste, where the soundscape of early synth was such a contrast to what was on offer on the gay scene back then. Clubland was becoming a hiv…

Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…

On Le Carnaval Perdu, Elizabeth Vogler turns voice, shruti-box drones and electroacoustic transformations into a personal folklore. Invented languages meet Béarnais lyrics; echoes of celebration flicker through dense sonic layers. Drawing on pop, bal folk and Bulgarian polyphony, the album makes carnival a threshold between communal ecstasy and loss.

Frank Denyer's String Quartets 2 to 6, played by the Luna Quartet with heavy mutes at the volume of a conversation: microtonal single-movement pieces with sung notes, pellet bells, a buzzing string and a tap-dancer's shoe, meant to be heard in sequence.

A five-movement ensemble work by Ed Cooper, purely acoustic after years of music with electronics, played by the new Leeds group Tahdig: sharp changes of material, one movement pairing Cocteau Twins with Laure Hiendl, and numbness as the nearest thing to a subject.

Magnus Granberg's hour-long piece for Skogen's twentieth anniversary, played by thirteen musicians including Toshimaru Nakamura: composed frameworks and improvisation built from a Bach aria, recorded at Atlantis in Stockholm in November 2025.

A single 45-minute solo for viola, written by Timothy McCormack with and for Marco Fusi: the bow moves so slowly that the tone breaks into separate pulses, and pressure, contact point and speed become the material of the piece.

Three chamber works by Zeynep Toraman, each played by a different ensemble and recorded in concert: slow, sustained melodic lines that rework a Beethoven intermezzo or her own earlier pieces, two of them with electronics folded into the live instruments.

“Jeddah Roundabouts: Circling the City” is a photographic and conversational study of public sculptures embedded within Jeddah’s urban circulation. Scattered across roundabouts and major arteries, these monumental, eccentric, modernist, at times brutalist, works form an overlooked open-air museum that has shaped the city’s visual and social landscape for decades. The book offers a rare perspective on Jeddah’s sculptural heritage and its connection to the civic ambitions of the city’s former mayo…
