The boundary-pushing entity known as Demonologists returns to the forefront of experimental music with their most ambitious and harrowing work to date: "Rakshasa." Fusing elements of dark ambient, industrial noise, and ritualistic soundscapes, the album offers a descent into shadowy realms, inspired by the mythic predators of Eastern legend.

*100 copies limited edition* Phage Tapes is proud to announce the release of Rites Of Rust, the devastating debut album from Mortar Mouth, available on cassette and digital formats. Hailing from the heart of the leftfield industrial underground, Mortar Mouth is a new duo forging a raw and immersive soundscape at the intersection of death industrial and dark ambient music. Rites Of Rust delivers six relentlessly bleak compositions, wielding bleak electronics and crushing atmospheres. Tracks like …

"A Tender Exile" is the result of a deeply personal journey—one shaped by displacement, nostalgia, and the search for belonging. Inspired by "How To Live Together", a book compiling Roland Barthes’ notes for his lecture of the same name, Federico Gargaglione explores four key concepts: Akedia, Xeniteia, Anachoresis, and Thlipsis. These ideas became a framework for understanding his own experiences, ultimately shaping the foundation of this book. As part of this journey, he traveled to Mount Etna…

"Young Predictions" discloses the notes of Cypriot painter Polys Peslikas, written between 2018 and 2025. These fragments—gathered in orbit around paintings made over the same period—reflect openly on the canon of painting both as a revered structure and an unruly and obscenely private, testimonial act. The book invites poet and writer Penelope Ioannou into an exchange with the material, her own notes slipping between Peslikas’ as a result of being granted entry into his canvases. Text and paint…

Tip! There are imagined landscapes we all carry within us—dreamed, half-remembered, or just beyond reach. Lofoten, the new album by Cate Francesca Brooks on Clay Pipe Music, is a musical reflection on one such place. Located above the Arctic Circle, Norway's Lofoten Islands are known for their dramatic peaks, open seascapes, and distinctive red fishing cabins dotting the shoreline. Though Brooks has never visited this remote northern region, it became an unexpected source of inspiration. The pro…

Two of the most exciting visionaries in contemporary guitar music, Bill MacKay and Ryley Walker, announce the reissue of their seminal debut album, "Land Of Plenty." Originally released in August 2015, this instrumental masterpiece will be available again on vinyl on September 26th via Drag City, giving new listeners and longtime fans alike a fresh opportunity to experience a milestone in the modern guitar canon. Recorded live over a month-long residency at The Whistler in Chicago, "Land Of Plen…

“When forty, I was still wearing miniskirts, extravagant patterns, pink, fluorescent colours, star shaped earrings. I walked around with my leopardskin hat, my fluffy bag, my floral outfit, until the gaze of others made me feel like it was not age appropriate anymore. Although I am still the same person I was at 16. It's the others I see changing." There's no better way to describe ageing than through the gap that arises and continues to grow between physical reality and the specular image of the …

Reproduction of the print pattern of the flyer for the "Ikebukuro Cyber Café" event held in 1991 on the cover, a center hole on the back side, a reproduction of the original cassette index of "Computer Café Music" and an IC board for electronic devices (the real one) are pasted on the front cover. The disc was mastered by D&M and cut at 45 rpm. An insert is included. Standard black vinyl pressing. In 1991, Yuji Takahashi and Mamoru Fujieda collaborated in staging a sound installation at the Sezo…

Veiled Erosion, the debut album by Anqi Liu, invites listeners into a world of spectral nuance, cultural memory, and fragile connection. Her music breathes through thresholds—between noise and tone, breath and bow, self and other. In the closing Etude for Friends, Liu renders friendship as a sonic practice: intimate, unstable, and quietly transformative. Drawing from Mongolian long song and microtonal chamber traditions, she composes sound as a site of listening, learning, and being-together. Ve…

For their second album Hi Res Heart expand from being a trio to a performing quintet with the addition of the two string players. In contrast to the first album - a very carefully conceived studio construct - Move Fast And Mend Things finds the group in live performance mode, recorded the day after their first gig as a five piece. As before, spaciousness and fire co-exist. Even when the music is at its most abstract, the spirit of the blues is never too far away. The music is direct and melodic …

A Bridge Between Spaces traces a decade of Andrew Greenwald’s singular compositional journey—across rigorously constructed sonic terrains and into freer, more intuitive musical dialogues. Drawing from two major violin cycles and culminating in the expansive title work, this album captures a shift from analytical exploration to expressive openness. With sound worlds that feel both extraterrestrial and deeply human, Greenwald’s music invites us into a landscape where metaphors fail and sound speak…

A buoyant masterpiece from the early 90s, "The Water Garden" was created by Okinawa-born Kojun Kokuba under the inspiring image of a "happy Asia" thriving in the sea-based trading networks of the medieval to pre-modern era, with the concept that various types of music, as well as physical goods, were distributed and dispersed across the seas connecting various parts of east and southeast Asia. Fittingly, the music here has definite and distinctive Ryukyu island roots, but is informed by a number…

"Shinshunfu" exists at a crossroads, a form both distinctly Japanese and distinctly "other", a complex blend of folk strains that is deep with emotional resonance and hard to place even for aficionados of Japanese traditional music. "Of "Shinshunfu", only the drone of the shō and the occasional taiko hit appear in plain view. The exploration sits comfortably in the idiosyncratic sound world that Ken has been prolifically constructing for himself in the last few years (what he has come to call "…

Takao's new album is a rare attempt to recreate a previously released 2018 album. He has re-recorded his debut album "Stealth" and presents it here as a completely new work. This is a 50-minute full-length album with two new tracks, "Moon" and "Seven Sands". This new "Stealth" is subtitled 'Gold Edition'. The cover of the CD version is a swanky dual metallic silver and gold print. CD comes with a standard jewel case. Obi attached. "Stealth" is the aptly-titled debut album from Tokyo-based compos…

Released on standalone CD for the first time in 33 years, this now-complete edition of the ground-breaking cult soundtrack is finally here.

"It all originates from a state between dream and reality - a drunkenness. Each title alludes to something blurry, abstract, or even unfinished. The next day, you wake up and don't know if what you did was, or simply wasn't. A distinctive endeavor with a somewhat lo-fi filter, featuring ambient touches, experimental dub elements, and holistically defined as avant-garde." New identity for new music, Bastien is part of anonymous Barcelona. And little more can be said about him.

Musical score to the 1975 HTV series Sky by Eric Wetherell.

Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer embraces the search for quiet miracles on first full-length LP Translations.

Every compilation series has an end. After 10 outstanding issues, we are saying goodbye to the Praise Poems series, which is highly appreciated by collectors and music lovers, with this 11th installment. With this final installment, we are deliberately venturing into a genre that we have only included in exceptional cases to date: Power Pop of the late 1970s and early 80s. We start with "Real Proof", an unreleased song by the band The Nails, originally from Boulder, Colorado, who were even signe…

One of the wonderfully creative 70s sets from Japanese stringman Isao Suzuki – an artist who also plays bass, but who works here on jazz cello – for a very unusual approach! The set has Suzuki's work on the light strings matched in a combo with lead guitar from Kazumi Watanabe – who's nicely restrained here, and falls in with Isao's strings at a level that's quite different than his own material of the time. Watanabe's lead is augmented by further rhythm guitar work by Kazumasa Akiyama, and the …

Recorded in Chicago at Elastic Arts and The Hungry Brain, this album showcases three of creative music’s most distinctive voices in full flight. Volumes & Surfaces reveals the trio’s uncanny synergy, adventurous spirit, and unyielding commitment to improvisational exp…

In English, the Shona word "Useza" means someone of great skill, meticulousness, and precision, and it perfectly illuminates Sekuru Chaka Chawasarira's lifelong practice. The eminent Zimbabwean artist and educator is among the last remaining masters of the matepe, a large mbira-style instrument that's played with both thumbs and index fingers to expand its rhythmelodic complexity. And on 'Useza', he fully demonstrates the matepe's illusory potential, overdubbing hypnotic sequences to provoke shi…

Estrada Orchestra's self-titled debut album, released on Funk Night Records (FNR), is a 5-track LP that showcases the group's adventurous blend of jazz, funk, psychedelic, and disco influences. The Estonian-based quintet recorded the album mostly live in one day, capturing their raw improvisational energy with minimal overdubs and only a handful of microphones. Anchored by bass-driven grooves and swirls of cosmic keys, the tracks move fluidly between free funk, Afrobeat, and lo-fi psychedelic ja…

Illustrious Company presents... Mesmerine 111. This is a 3D soundscape based on / inspired by the frequency 111Hz, which has been historically and scientifically proven to induce a trance-like state. Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporarily switches from left to right-sided dominance, which is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a t…

*OBS written in Italian language* "Vite Altre" is a small fanzine featuring six short stories, collected through a call launched via social media and word of mouth. It’s a modest project, born somewhat playfully. The idea took shape at the beginning of summer 2024, and the first contributions came from friends and supporters of the initiative. This collection features stories that venture into brief forays of speculative biology and science fiction. Each piece enriches a shared narrative of inte…

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Jay Productions, presents the premiere CD release of Paul Chihara’s noir score for Sidney Lumet’s masterful Prince Of The City (1981), starring Treat Williams, Jerry Orbach and Carmine Caridi. The film is about a New York City narcotics detective (Williams) who reluctantly agrees to cooperate with a special commission investigating police corruption; he soon realizes he’s in over his head and that nobody can be trusted. Lumet chose Maestro Chihara, widely a…

From the enigmatic fringes of experimental sound comes an extraordinary split release between K/S/R and The Tulsa Ball Room Singers—a bold document of two singular live performances where music and moving image intertwine.

The second album from Stenhjärta follows up Gryning Kommer Röd (Grapefruit Records, 2024) and very much continues in the same vein while approaching a rather damn catchy pop song format at times. Fear not, Stenhjärta is still a group heavily rooted in the Swedish prog/folk tradition of the 70's, the 13 songs here just showcases a somewhat wider scope, the duo taking things a notch further with more elaborate songwriting and a whole slew of wonderful A-sides along the often damaged ride. Lyricall…

*2025 stock* NOx is the sonic reaction between Pedro Roque and Jerome Faria. Both accomplished musicians with diverse backgrounds in various musical genres, Roque brings extensive experience and a passion for pushing boundaries at Portugal's heavy music scene, while Faria contributes with innovative soundscapes and experimental techniques. Together, they conjure an immersive experience that defies clear definitions and challenges the boundaries of experimental music.

First time meeting of Sam Wenc (US/pedal steel + objects) and Stefano Grasso (Milan/percussion + recorder). The record is one take, broken into 10 tracks, exploring the boundaries of the rhythmic grid, never quite landing inside it, but hovering on its perimeter, through extended technique, melody, and disharmony.
