Working on the eight tracks here in her home setup, Harris would "layer as much as I could or som…

Rob Jacobs
Rob Jacobs, known in the DIY scene for his group Wei Zhongle, released his S/T solo album on February 10th through Chicago progressive label, International Anthem.Jacobs’ eponymous album flirts with Eastern folk, psychedelia, avant-garde, and lyrics that “surface out of the waters of the subconscious.” Just as surprisingly, it even evokes Western pop music. ‘Wordless Incantation’ wryly introduces listeners to the album. Listeners may not know what to expect, and the song only leads them deeper i…

Conversation Sur Lettres Mortes is a physically affective conceptual album revolving around the relationship between Berlin’s Jesse Osborne Lanthier & Grischa Lichtenberger and the archaic apparatus of old cathode ray televisions and VHS units.

Melting into foreground
Henrik Munkeby Norstebo, trombone, half clarinet, electronics. Melting into foreground is the second solo album from trombone player Henrik Munkeby Norstebo, and his debut on the SOFA label. The first track is solo trombone. No effects. He is using the whole spectre of his instrument, from pure tones to noise and the barely audible, in an attempt to find the balance between the intuitive and the strictly constructed. About the second part, Henrik says that all the electronic sounds stems from on…
Anoxia
LP version in combination offset/screenprinted jacket. Edition of 500. 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.

Homoheterogeneity
Homoheterogeneity is the debut album by Raccoglimento Parziale, the duo formed by Stefano Meucci and Andrea Giachetti (already members of The Clover).In eight dense tracks, the album builds piece by piece an arcane language, made up of electromechanical beats, powerful basses, digitized guitars and broken samples, assembled in a liquid and fluctuating atmosphere.Homoheterogeneity is a microscope’s view, a revealing blow-up over a cloud of micro-sounds, sometimes digital, sometimes organic. It’s…
A Cosmic Serenade
"The eagerly awaited follow-up to Drape Me in Velvet is here! In the making for quite some time it features a large cast of players and in the midst of it all Mr Musette himself - Joel Danell. This man has carved a niche for himself with a sound world merging both the most ancient and the newest of the new. Hip hop, polka, novelty music and sound tracks all go down in the blender.

Clear and Cloud
Kye is proud to announce the release of Clear and Cloud, the debut LP by Alec Livaditis. Recorded over the summer of 2015, Clear and Cloud showcases Alec's unique vision for extended cello technique across two varying settings. Side A's 'Clear and Cloud' presents Livaditis (cello, objects) and Killick Hinds (Vo-96 guitar) live in an extraneous sound environment, where music and conversation seek to undermine each other in a morose and thrilling tussle, whereas Side B's 'Through The Open Win…
Inburst
The striking first entry into the Cusp label’s discography comes from Cologne-based sound artist Lu Katavist, employing a variety of synthesizer modules controlled with the Haken Continuum Fingerboard to create a cavernous tapestry of deeply spatial and spectral soundscapes.Katavist’s (real name Luka Höfler) approach to the material derived on 'Inburst' has been wholly improvisational, but not in any sense traditional. Rather than acquiring any sort of mastery of the equipment chosen to build th…
Nylon
Greek musician Michalis Moschoutis delivers his debut full length release with a radical exploration of the sonic possibilities of a classical guitar. Entirely acoustic, tracked in just eight improvised takes, Nylon presents Moschoutis's idiosyncratic and forceful style of playing, at times sounding like a physical attack to the guitar.Nylon finds Moschoutis switching from plucking to bowing and strumming while sustaining high intensity and a continuous sense of forward motion. Very often virtuo…
Fabrik
After nearly a year of preparation Experimedia presents "Fabrik" the 4th album by Denmark's Jannick Schou following his 2011 album on the label "The Act of Shimmering". Like his 2013 self released EP "Fasjil", "Fabrik" sees Schou further fold his powerful ambient sound into deep & heavy techno territories."Danish dronemaker Jannick Schou is well-regarded for his ambient work, so it's intriguing to hear him explore another side of the hypnotic with the slowed-down funeral techno of "Fabrik." Buil…
Awake
Awake is a collaboration between noise veteran Mike Shiflet and guitarist John Kolodij (aka High Aura’d), and was recorded over the course of three autumn days in Kolodij’s Rhode Island studio. This isn’t your expected by-email collaboration though; rather, the two sat together in the same room with amps humming and strings vibrating, letting the space and the physicality dictate the music. The sessions were improvisational in nature, and as the recordings were cleaned up and edited, only sparse…
Frozen Orchestra (Amsterdam)
The Pitch is a Berlin-based quartet that explores the area between abstract melody and acoustic drone. Since 2009 they have been developing a musical language and a body of work ranging from quartet music to extended, large-scale ensemble pieces involving guest musicians and further conceptual elements. Improvisation is an important element in their music and it is used as a generative device within specific shapes, structures, and ideas for different pieces of music. Their piece Frozen Orchestr…
Keys to the Universe
2014 Release. Jaws is a reality based sound and performance project by Robert Girardin. Influenced by the everyday rhythmic impressions of sight and movement, it uses electronics and voice to put forth a dense and slithering sound with lyrics reflecting the labrythine confines and possibilities of life. In late 2011 Jaws released his first, the crash-informed ‘Stress Test’ on Hundebiss Records. This was followed by a collaboration with Milan’s Dracula Lewis as the Sex Boyz, a post-analogue reima…
Expect Night Work
Morphine continues to expose more destructive electronics from the U.S. underground. Four bare bones tracks from Lack that owe as much to grimy techno as they do to the late '80s industrial pioneers. "The Morphine label has developed something of a reputation for picking out intriguing talents from the USA's experimental underground, be it old hands such as Charles Cohen or newer names such as Metasplice and Madteo. The latest release from Morphine draws from this latter pool with Expect Nig…

City of Sweat
German steamroom wrecking crew LX Sweat returns from a winter of festival dates and self-symbiosis to lay out an impressively realized full-length debut of voidist club fantasia, equal parts Screw bootlegs, slow-jack synth freestyle, and degraded phaser wash. City of Sweat spirals through a judgement night of weird, codeined lust, luxury hallucinations, overdosed syrup rituals, and long, blurry nights stumbling home through alleys in the rain. Like last year’s Sweat Sweat Sweat cassette, this ne…
