Selected Instrumental Works
*50 copies limitede edition* "Selected Instrumental Works" gathers fourteen instrumental pieces composed and recorded by Mathew Sweet under the Boduf Songs name. Stripped of voice and overt song structure, the music turns specifically to atmosphere, tone, and grainy resonance to carry the emotional weight. Piano sits at the center of the record, along with sparse electronics and sustained textures, focusing on harmonic shifts that unfold with deliberate patience. These dark, reflective, and medi…
Tired
*80 copies limited edition* Tired is Thomas DeAngelo's first full length solo effort since the 2023 Voiceprints & Aircuts CD on adhuman, and his second for More Mars following Standing Water released in 2021. Much has changed, both domestically (DeAngelo resides in Philadelphia, USA) and geopolitically in the interim, but, as the title suggests, maybe not really. Employing a sort of seasick, off kilter symmetry and befouled mirror logic, Tired accentuates the form/content dialectic, with motifs …
Guilty Paradise

Policing The Beats - Black Music, Racism And Criminal Injustice
A bold analysis that exposes the racist policing of Black music. The emergence of UK drill music made headline news, portraying it as a criminal enterprise instead of recognising it as an art form. This new rap subgenre, however, is neither the first nor the only Black music to be targeted this way. Policing the beats rewinds the tape to demonstrate how music has been used as an instrument for policing Black people, from the era of colonial slavery to the present day, revealing the racist legal …
Love & Noise
Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
Rituals of The Last dawn
On Rituals of The Last Dawn, Saba Alizadeh draws Persian classical memory into long‑form electro‑acoustic rites, two side‑long pieces that breathe like prayers for a wounded world - hushed, spacious, and quietly defiant.

Goo
Sonic Youth's eighth album, Goo, was their first for DGC / Geffen. The album marked their major label debut, featuring arena rock staples like "Kool Thing" and "Dirty Boots" deep in its grooves.

A Thousand Leaves
A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same w…
