New Arrivals
Lowland: In Three
*50 copies limited edition* Lowlands: In Three is a 44-minute suite in three movements, built around hazy drone and distant guitars. Inspired by hot, humid Indiana summer evenings, the music reflects the sounds and atmosphere of the landscape as daylight fades. The accompanying photography documents the places, light, and surroundings that shaped the recordings, connecting what was heard with what was seen.
A Delicate Stiletto
A Delicate Stiletto comprises of 10 songs from Herb’s ‘vintage years’. Only 4 of the songs have been officially released before, back in 2006 and the other 6 have been hiding out in Herb’s lounge cabinet for 25 years. Imagine an even more whiskey soaked Dean Martin walking out of the cinema after watching a David Lunch marathon. Entering the nearest seedy night club and going hell for leather on the carpeted stage as a disco ball shines and glistens in the bloodshot eyes of a hundred seated goth…
Marteau Rouge
After a nine-year hiatus, Marteau Rouge — Pauvros, Foussat, Sato — made a comeback for a one-off concert, this time alongside Daunik Lazro, one of their long-standing friends.
Kinetic Void
*150 copies limited edition* The ambient lineage, from Brian Eno’s Music for Airports forward, has been characterized as sounds that can recede into the background, creating an absence that exists laterally to the listener’s attention. The Kinetic Void originated from a different premise. The compositions assembled here retain a commitment to atmosphere, putting texture over melody and suspending conventional notions of meter. But they embody an inverted relationship to density from that of the …
Philip Glass: Piano Etudes Versions
Few have ventured to record Philip Glass’s twenty piano etudes in their entirety. Even fewer have attempted to remix them.
Anoxia
*2026 stock* The second L A N D album, Anoxia, sees Daniel Lea return alone with an outing that marks a shift from the industrial-inflected jazz-noir of 2012's Night Within into distinctly new terrain. Mixed by Ben Frost at Greenhouse Studios, Reykjavík; mastered by Rashad Becker at D&M, Berlin. CD packaged in a combination offset/screenprinted jacket. "Anoxia" means "total absence of oxygen," and in Lea's hands the term heralds aural environments that are full of the dreams of humanity yet may …
Mirror/Leaks
*20 copies limited edition* D. Stine and Doug Fogelson return to LAD with their latest long player, Mirror/Leaks. Recorded shortly after their beguiling first collaboration Dusk Breathing, a slightly different approach is evident here. This followed their desire to chart a different course, as well as new geographic realities. Rather than being led entirely by their improvisational muses, the pair approached the recording dates for this album with more of a sense of intentionality.
Shortly aft…
Electric Telepathy
Pleasurewood return with 'Electric Telepathy', their second full-length LP offering Simla Space Funk, Psych-Library and Vintage-Cinematic Raga-Rock grooves. This new offering from the band embraces more of their vintage Hindi Cinema soundtrack influences — "Chump Change", "The Hoverfly" and "RAMMM" could easily fit into the middle of an R.D. Burman score, each with their incongruous synthesis of different genres, infectious percussion, classical modes and funk chops.
There is also a slight sweep…
Deltas
French composer, artist and co-founder of Transversales Disques, Jonathan Fitoussi has developed a distinctive body of work over the past two decades, blending analog synthesis, minimalism and electronic music. Inspired by the mineral landscapes and luminous atmosphere of southeastern France, Deltas is his fifth solo studio album. Combining hypnotic drum patterns, flowing pulses, shimmering electronic textures and contemplative movements, it unfolds as a deeply immersive journey through space, l…
Fresco
Lussuria returns with Fresco, the latest full-length from the New York project of Jim Mroz, issued on LP by Hospital Productions. A quieter and more painterly record than much of what has come before it, but no less haunted.
Active since 2007, Lussuria has quietly assembled one of the most distinctive bodies of work within the Hospital Productions orbit. Mroz came to wider attention with the American Babylon series in 2012, then a run of releases that moved between dark ambient, muted industrial…
Red Sulphur
First meeting of two incredible talents - Tyshawn Sorey on drums and Pat Thomas on piano.
Atropa
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Bill Harris is a community builder first and foremost. As one of the founders of the Amalgam collective, he has helped to keep Chicago’s storied improvised music scene together through the dark ages of the 2020s. Additionally, his studio space Marmalade has hosted performances from some of the most boundary-pushing voices of contemporary experimental music - artists such as Charmaine Lee, Brandon Lopez, Sandy Ewen and more - during a time in which such s…
Scenes Of Contestation... And The Expanded
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* This new album is a journey from the personal and contested space of my apartment in Oakland, California, during the dot-com boom, and the housing crisis brought on by the gentrification of the early 2000s. From San Francisco, we expand to the refuge of a ranch in Woodside, California, and the desert garden of Noah Purifoy, where we are expanding to the self and the alter-destiny. The recordings explore the different ways we encounter and experience vario…
BLK+LND / K&L for KL
Two of Phill Niblock's final compositions for low-pitched instruments, heard together as he intended: BLK+LND for acoustic bass and bass clarinet, K&L for KL for two bass clarinets, both built from recordings layered into slow microtonal mass. Completed weeks before his death in January 2024. LP with insert.
Drëun
This is supposed to be a 40th anniversary reissue. Well, it's still this but with year of a delay.. Well, it's still it but with year of a delay. It was told enough about the early Metgumbnerbone recordings. We just keep some quotes here.
"It’s hard to imagine anything more haunting than the folk horror ritual sounds which Metgumbnerbone conjured forth in the Ruins of Industry." - Kristian Olsson, Shock Tilt
"Working mainly with percussion, Metgumbnerbone evolves an improvisational continuum tha…
S∞S
** Edition of 100 ** Huerta Ensamble is a collaborative research project by Mexican artists Concepción Huerta and Daniela Huerta, dedicated to exploring sound through synthesis and magnetic tape experimentation. Their practice delves into tuning, electricity, spatiality, psychoacoustics, and the fundamental principles of sound, with live performances unfolding through improvisation and the dialogue unique to each setting.The album, "S∞S", treats sound as a living organism — alive with resonance,…
Mothers of All
*300 copies limited edition* Mothers of All is Mark Gomes' second album as Blue Chemise for Students of Decay, following 2018’s acclaimed Daughters of Time. Though built from very different materials, it shares its predecessor's economy, sense of proportion, and fascination with the ways domestic life can open onto larger and less easily defined realms. Where Daughters of Time evoked tender, if alien, nursery songs, Mothers of All takes the form of spectral salon music heard at a temporal and ge…
Baby Ghost
»Baby Ghost« is the debut album by double bassist and vocalist Jordan Sand. Released through Hallow Ground, it blurs the lines between different genres and modes of expressions, improvisation and composition and showcases the unique playing style the composer has developed. Sand blends her voice with the bowed harmonics and subharmonics of her double bass. At once conceptually rigorous and musically open-ended, Sand’s wordless meditations on death and what comes after are both visceral and explo…
Rapid Response
Three long-form compositions that peer through a glimmering aperature into diaphanous realms of textural experiences: “What are the pros and cons of being lost in a thought?”
Figures
*50 copies limited edition* Paul Sakai identifies as a cultural nomad, existing between cultural and physical spaces. Born in the United States, they are a yonsei Japanese American raised as part of the international community in Southeast Asia as a Third Culture Kid. Their work is an act of grounding – a practice of connecting their present body to place, people, and cultural histories. Their project, Roy Kiyo, is an extension of this practice. Works under this project are broadly catalogued as…
