Lava Love
Recorded during a residency in Tenerife powered by Keroxen Festival and Discrepant back in 2020 - amidst the pandemic, no less -, the duo of Carlos Godinho and Mestre André return after their 'Mãe D'Água' debut on Sucata Tapes and an entry on Keroxen's Aquapelago Series through a split with tropical druids Lagoss. Mostly captured in performance through a quadraphonic system placed inside a huge disused fuel tank, with a few tracks recorded out in the open throughout the island, 'Lava Love' evoke…
List of Demands
List of Demands, Damon Locks’s first foray into creating an entire album from spoken and text-based work, finds the Chicago-based musician and educator collecting cultural abstractions and reorganizing them into a firm truth. The album lays out a vision of Black liberation and transmits it outward as a song cycle of bite-sized Nikki Giovanni-meets-MF DOOM-style rhythm experiments. The sample-based constructions are steeped in a lifetime of not only keen cultural observation, but direct communal …

Eel Asp Flaps Feet
Fifty years after I first encountered the music of Orchid Spangiafora, it is a pleasure to be listening to new work by this most bonny of modern sound manipulators. Like Flee Pasts Ape Elf (FTR 096), which we reissued in expanded form in 2013, Eel Asp Flays Feet (the title of which is an anagram of the earlier set) is an assemblage of immaculate invention. It manages to produce a unique splotch of confusing analog surrealism in an increasingly digital world, and Robert Carey (aka Orchid himsel…
I Greet You At The Beginning Though I Can’t Control Your Exit
Moth Drakula’s second release on Misanthropic Agenda finds them revisiting and refining early industrial explorations with a more mature and precise ear; utilizing cracked microphones, raw natural sounds, sparse voices, analogue synthesizers and various samplers which scrub and oscillate the source material into peals of fevered dread. The impetus and focus of this recording was based on the process of attempting to bury the psychic history of a loved one. “I Greet You At The Beginning Though I …

Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte
Tip! Nærværet is a Scandinavian collaboration by Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Andreas Barsleth (Jordmenneske). If you are familiar with their individual works, you’ll know they operate on the same wavelength. On ’Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte’, they’ve created something truly beautiful: serene landscapes of tangible presence. Comforting sounds, gathered from rural surroundings blend seamlessly with restrained, still instrumentation. These elements are manipulated with tapes and l…
