Ultan is a performer as well as a regular at sessions all of Ireland and can be found by chance in any pub in Dublin, Cork or some remote village on the edge of nowhere, flying jigs and reels around the room.

New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light

Musick To Play In The Dark
* 2021 Ltd. repress on black vinyl * Few groups in recent history forged as confounding and alchemical a body of work as Coil, the partnership of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and John Balance. From album to album and phase to phase their recordings spelunk perplexing depths of esoteric industrial, occult electronics, and drugged poetry, both embodying and alienating parallel currents of their peers. The late 1990's in particular were a fertile era for the duo, embracing chance, chaos, and colla…
Le telescope de la mort
Composed of 7 tracks, which oscillate between post-medieval melodies, ghost-
wave and future music of the 70s... Their universe resembles a soaring
soundtrack, the kind of German TV movie that ends well but from which you can
never really escape.
Albus
EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…
Polarity 3
The third volume of duos between indefatigable tenorsaxophonist Ivo Perelman and adventurous trumpeter NateWooley is their most intimate encounter to date. Beginningwith mournful, almost undersea drones, it moves through avariety of subtly shifting moods, combining old-school jazzromanticism with the kind of nearly telepathic interaction thatonly a long-term creative relationship can inspire. Anyonewho’s enjoyed the first two volumes of this brilliant series willfind this latest dispatch to be a…

Belsebub Är Lös...
*200 copies limited edition* After the sold-out reissues of San Michael’s and Gandalf’s albums, we plunge once more into Sweden’s labyrinthine musical vaults, to bring you Midsommar’s highly collectable debut, Belsebub är lös. Originally released in 1970, this is a psychedelic hard-rocker, occasionally amalgamating with proto-prog and folk. The self-titled opening track sets the stage for what is bound to follow. As we journey through the album’s stomping textures, we discover tunes such as Dröm…
