Bright Sun Outside
*100 copies limited edition* Following the striking debut of Believe That Was Me (577 Records, 2025), Matthew Putman, Hill Greene, and Francisco Mela reunite for Bright Sun Outside, a fearless new recording that further expands their shared language of spontaneous composition and soulful listening. Emerging from the creative orbit of 577 Records, the trio crafts a vivid and unpredictable sonic landscape where abstraction, rhythm, lyricism, and raw momentum exist in constant motion. Mela’s additi…
Hirotta ishiga wareta
When one thinks of the terms “mass” and “massive” in music, especially contemporary music, perhaps certain aural images come to mind: generic metal heaviness; dynamics-bereft noise; ear-battering dance floor madness; the multitudinous forms of drone darkness. All of these are massive in their own fashion. However, this newstudio album from 7FO (pronounced “nana f o”), a composer-performer based in northern Osaka, investigates and inhabits a different aspect of the massive. A glorious combination…
Find the Gyres
Over the years Sterling MacKinnon has quietly carved out an essential role for himself. As half of Cuneiform Tabs (W.25/Superior Viaduct, World of Echo), an original member of Violent Change (Slothmate), and the sole driver behind False Berries (Slothmate), he has functioned as a facilitator of momentum - a kind of midfield presence. You know, the number 8; vision, restraint, distribution. The one who sees the play before it fully forms and moves it along accordingly. There’s a certain amount of…
Live at the Hope and Anchor Recorded on November 22nd, 1977
This set consists of an entire show at the Hope and Anchor pub in Islington, North London, recorded on 22 November 1977. This particular concert took place on the opening night of the "Front Row Festival", a series of shows by regulars of the venue during 1977. Many of the songs in the band's set that night were played by request; for this show, they rehearsed their entire catalogue. It is regarded as one of the band's more memorable shows.
Snappy Turns
Debut solo album for Alternative Tv frontman and long-time running Uk punk scenester, originally released in 1980 on Deptford Fun City Records. Mark Perry was also the man behind the iconic Sniffin' Glue zine, founded in July 1976. The album was produced by Grant Showbiz, principally known for his work with The Fall, The Smiths and Billy Bragg, and it is literally an art-rock nugget.
Sort of an autobiographical work, the record is full of twisted hooks, showing the dark side of post-punk. Less h…
Sounding Out
*70 copies limited edition* Paratexts, by definition, are everything that stands beside (‘para’ in Greek) the main content of a work, or the so-called “body text” of a book. The reading performance Sounding Out (Reading Paratexts) explores this “beside” as a site and sounds out paratexts as testimonies of the labour and collective efforts behind the making of a book. What kind of bodies emerge when we read dedications, acknowledgements, colophons or editorial notes? They can unsettle the notion …
Heaven / Earth
*Warehouse find!* A vocal band that made it through, the Free Design have been more than an exception in the glittering world of the psychedelic circus. That was the Age of Aquarius in the end, but in the long run the 4-piece had an enormous impact on the younger generation. Released in 1969 “Heaven/earth” is a cornerstone on its own and 30 years later the band had a sort of epiphany, thanks to the spanning interest of artists such as Cornelius, Beck, Stereolab and crate digger master Madlib. B…
E.s.p.
*Warehouse find!* In Italy, the genre of documentary film has represented a particularly fertile field for a critical review of the musical contribution to cinema at least since as early as the 1950s. The Italian public television RAI used to broadcast disturbing paranoiac dramas, weird documentaries on the bottom of the sea and indigestible so-called “educational” movies. ESP was a television series produced by Rai in 1973, directed by Daniele D'Anza, and aired from Sunday, May 27 1973 to Sun…
Chaos Is a Law
On Chaos Is A Law, Bob Bellerue treats feedback and rupture as a kind of secular mysticism. Macrotonal drones, rasping noise and inharmonic vortices surge, implode and re-form, turning piano wires, metal and amplifiers into a single, volatile organism where chaos becomes both method and mantra.
A Sucked Orange
*100 copies limited edition* Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP pic…
Five Ritual 20240601 / Devil's Gate
Controlled Death is the dark side project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki a.k.a. Masonna. Here with a new tape in a deluxe metal box. Also contains a poster. Play loud!
Afrodisiaca
* Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert * So… Steinmetz. Hugh Steinmetz. A Danish trumpet player my mentor Peter Brötzmann always talked highly about. 'Aaaaah jaaaaa - those crazy Danes!' Steinmetz was one of very few Scandinavian musicians who actually travelled south and collaborated with European musicians in the late 60s. He is a legend. And a key to understand the early developments of free jazz. The possibilities given to S…

With *The Skipper At Home*, Henry Franklin crafts a sound that’s both reflective and kinetic—layered arrangements, memorable melodies, and a distinct voice that moves effortlessly between the personal and the playful. From…
La Rana
On La Rana, Agustín Pereyra Lucena turns his deep love of Brazilian music into a crystalline, Latin‑jazz chamber album recorded far from home, in Oslo. Quartet interplay, bossa nova contours and long-form mood pieces melt South American warmth into Nordic air, anchored by his luminous guitar and quietly intense vocals.
Sound Sun Pleasure
Sound Sun Pleasure was recorded in Chicago at the same March 1959 sessions that produced the instrumental album Jazz In Silhouette, and features near-identical personnel. However, the recordings sat on the shelf for over ten years, finally achieving release in 1970. Whereas Silhouette was comprised of Sun Ra originals, Sound Sun Pleasure explores two works Sunny co-composed with trumpeter Hobart Dotson and four standards, two of which ("'Round Midnight" and "Back In Your Own Backyard") are sung …
Powerhouse
A bold new spotlight shines on the classic 1971 release Powerhouse by celebrated organist Chester Thompson—an album that captures the pulse of its time with fire, finesse, and unmistakable soul. Released in 1971, Powerhouse remains a standout work in Thompson’s discography, drawing listeners into a world where groove, grit, and melodic imagination collide.
From the first notes, Powerhouse delivers an electrifying blend of organ-driven energy and captivating musical momentum. Thompson’s masterful…
A Moment Beyond (Book)
*500 copies limited edition* "A Moment Beyond" is the result of a dialogue between Gunnar Smoliansky's photographs (who passed away in 2019) and the composer and musician Danny Clay, initiated by IIKKI, between February 2026 and May 2026.

Eternal Rhythm: Conversations and Travelations with Don Cherry and Graeme Ewens (Book)
Eternal Rhythm: Conversations and Travelations with Don Cherry and Graeme Ewens is the book on Don Cherry we have been waiting for - not a biography written from the outside, but a portrait built from the inside, from hours of cassette-taped conversations recorded since 1979 by writer Graeme Ewens, a confidant, travel companion, and close friend of Cherry. Published by Ars Nova Workshop, this is an intimate, free-flowing document of one of the most unique and innovative voices to emerge from the…
Low Profile
Strut Records proudly presents a new reissue of the original Afrobeat classic Low Profile (Not For The Blacks), recorded and composed by Afrika 70 saxophonist and bandleader Lekan Animashaun and produced by Fela Kuti.
After years touring the world as Fela’s baritone saxophonist, Animashaun stepped forward to lead the legendary Egypt 80 band following Tony Allen’s departure, remaining the group’s musical director until Fela’s death in 1997. He continued on subsequent tours with Seun Kuti until 20…
