*300 copies limited edition* Long Slow Distance is an album about finding peace, and making peace where it can’t be found. It’s inspired by change, grief, acceptance, forgiveness, love, and running. Dawson began running around the same time he started making records. At this point it’s unclear where one practice ends and the other begins. The album’s title has become the ethos he’s embraced for all things in life. Long Slow Dance unravels the woven collage of his previous work. Here each song co…

Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…

Suspended somewhere between stillness and movement, Winterglare explores the fragile moments that exist beneath the surface: frozen landscapes, distant memories, quiet isolation, and the sudden brilliance of light reflected through the cold. The album unfolds as an immersive listening experience, inviting the audience into a world that feels both intimate and vast. Rather than offering easy answers, Winterglare creates space for reflection. Its songs move through shadow and radiance, embracing c…

When I was about eight years old a pretty formative thing happened to me ... my mum bought me a cassette tape of Nirvana’s Nevermind. Being so young I'd had no real interest in music prior to that, but I did have a ‘My First Sony’ cassette player that I used to listen to audiobooks. Anyway, I put the tape in, pressed play, and what I heard blew my little 8 year old mind. I don't know what it was about that wall of sound that so captured me, but I spent many hours hyperactively running around the…

Welsh musician Gwenifer Raymond’s 2018 debut album, You Never Were Much of a Dancer, introduced a new voice on acoustic guitar, receiving 5 stars in The Guardian, big spreads in MOJO and UNCUT, and airplay on multiple BBC programmes. This led to months of touring on the European festival circuit. Her second album, Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain, finds Raymond ranging into unexplored experimental territory, drawing from her Welsh roots.

Black Truffle is thrilled to announce a second volume of unheard concert performances from legendary Pakistani kyhal singer Salamat Ali Khan, recorded at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie as part of the MetaMusik festival in 1974. Like the first volume, the immaculate recording by Michael Hönig (of krautrock legends Agitation Free) captures Khan performing a single extended raag in the company of Shaukat Hussein Khan on tabla and Hussein Bux Khan on harmonium. In addition to his stunningly inventive…

JJ Whitefield dives deep into the golden era of library music, drawing inspiration from KPM, De Wolfe, Bruton Music, CAM and the composers who shaped the genre. Slow Moods presents 14 original instrumentals packed with atmospheric grooves, exotic touches and meticulously layered overdubs. East Asian and East African influences meet locked-in rhythms and sharp arrangements.

More from the Faust archive, chosen by drummer Zappi Diermaier. Rhythm-driven fragments, noise and studio mischief, the collective's fearless early spirit heard through a founder's own ear.

The Merzbow 108 CD Box turns Merzbow’s vast archive into a monument of productive excess: 108 discs spanning lost albums, alternate mixes, outtakes, rehearsals and recent work, assembled by Slowdown Records across nearly a decade. Its Buddhist number signals 108 worldly desires - but this is noise as discipline, mutation and inexhaustible liberation.

*300 copies limited edition* Soave returns with Dusty Colors, an astounding new full-length by Roberto Musci, one of the most enduring and important figures in the movement of Italian Minimalism. Utilizing the composer's longstanding, singular approach to electroacoustic composition that first altered the collective consciousness back in 1984 with the legendary LP, The Loa Of Music - intertwining field recording, samples, and Musci's own instrumental interventions - Dusty Colors draws its primar…

A holy grail! This is one of Marcos Valle's best-ever albums – and it's certainly the one to best realize the larger scope he was heading for in the years after the bossa – that sublime mix of jazz and more expansive arrangements – a perfect fit for the growing sophistication of Valle's songwriting. The record is fantastic – done with a sweeping sound that still leaves us breathless after all these years – and put together with an approach to composition that is virtually indescribable. There's …

This edition includes four previously unheard titles and exclusive liner notes containing Lily Chao’s biography and lyric translations.

After experiencing hard times in her girlhood,…

On Séance of Sleep II: La lévitation de Shéhérazade, David Wunder Brägger turns folk memory, analogue circuitry and microtonal drift into a slow‑burning dream ritual. Droning fiddles, handmade electronics, metallophones and vintage organs rise together, making an ambient record that feels at once archaic, futuristic and gently unmoored from waking time.

IVM Trio is made up of percussionist & composer Sébastien Forrester, producer & visual artist Mika Oki, and artist & producer Apulati Bien. All three sit within the French-Brussels axis, united by a shared love of free improvisation, sparse atmospherics and rapturous club mutations. Explain Yourselves is a genuinely exploratory record — abstraction and contemplation sit side by side, as the trio dives into the micro-precision of computer music while mirroring organic, environmental schemes. Thes…

*Handmade textile sleeve* British composer Simon Goff interprets space, both within ourselves and the objects that surround us with Interior Realms - vol.1; a wondrous, contemplative work of electronic chamber music. The idea first came from the philosophical idea underpinning the book Interior Realms, published by Theatrum Mundi in 2021. In it, a collection of essays reflects upon architecture’s influence on the human spirit. It challenges us to think not only about music as space, but also abo…

*50 copies limited edition* »A Grey City With Its Beast« is a solo recording for choor khuur, composed and performed by Anqi Liu and recorded in San Diego in 2026. The choor khuur is an older Mongolian bowed instrument related to the morin khuur, yet it has its own construction and behaviour: a skin-covered body, horsehair strings and bow, a sound peg, and a Mongolian knife inserted between the bridge and body permit minute adjustments of tuning and timbre. Temperature, humidity, pressure, and t…

“This album resulted (like many things) from experimentation, and actually from composing etudes formyself to practice justly-tuned chords. From that starting point I began to think about space, not justspace like the silence around sound events, but also the hollow, resonant spaces in my sinuses andmouth, and the space where the sounds were recorded, or the space where the sounds were listened to.I wanted to show the many colors of the sounds, even the hidden ones, like Pauline Oliveros who sai…

This is a set of improvised studies made on the Clavemusicum Omnituonum, a harpsichord designed in1606 by Trasunto with 31 keys per octave. With this 2016 copy made by Markus Krebs for Studio31(Basel), I let the music unfold out of the gestures the hands were able to make thanks to the newpossibilities - and obstacles - created by such a keyboard. As a classically trained harpsichordist, Irelished the opportunity to fully embrace the oblique angles opened up by the keyboard’s disorientinglayout,…
