Upcoming releases
Nebular
Created by correspondence between Christchurch and London, Nebular pairs Roy Montgomery's decaying post-rock, folk and drone guitar with Martha Skye Murphy's wordless, glossolalic voice. Stems traded by email at nocturnal hours, raw emotion launched …

Light In The Attic’s Japan Archival Series continues with Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990, an unprecedented overview of the country’s vital minimal, ambient, avant-garde, and New Age music – what can collectiv…
Cafe OTO
Legendary Japanese experimentalist Keiji Haino (Fushitsusha) and London's fearless drummer Steve Noble took to the stage at Cafe OTO in 2012 for a monumental concert - with Haino's extreme treatments of electric guitar, and feedback, with Noble on a …
Live in Arles 1975 (2LP)
Seventh entry in the essential Can live series, and one of the great ones. A hot August night in 1975, the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles, the core four locked in: Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. No safety net, just t…
Domestic Dragon
Once again studio master / composer / bassist Guy Segers assembles a huge cast of progressive musicians to perform / improvise 8 new pieces. Guy's methods of composition and collage remain as before, but each new Eclectic Maybe Band release brings a …
Outside
A fourth collection of Keith Jafrate's soulful music and poetry in the grand lineage of spiritual jazz, performed once more by a team of top drawer northern UK players who can interpret this music with power and sensitivity.
With their fourth album o…
Arc
In Arc, Yorkshire-born artist Kirk Barley explores alternative tunings and off-grid sequencing to shape fluid rhythmic and melodic systems that unfold into rich harmonic forms. Kirk’s fourth album under his own name and debut for Marionette continues…
The End of the Continuum
*300 copies limited edition* Anybody paying attention to what’s been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion released in late March. Meshing abstract ele…
Untitled
RGL is a track maker known for his lo-fi house productions and analog-textured dance music, with releases on labels such as Diskotopia and Breaker Breaker. His new work, Untitled, showcases a wide-ranging sonic palette: alongside rhythm-driven tracks…
White Morning
On White Morning, Fumio Miyashita distils his healing‑ambient language into two near‑half‑hour reveries: soft synths and gentle acoustic colours held in a discovered stillness that treats music as a space for rest, focus and quiet presence.
Mood Programs / Extended Play
On Mood Programs – Extended Play, Ron Trent’s LA MARR project turns two long pieces, “Good Magic” and “Clear”, into living rooms of sound: ambient‑leaning, rhythm‑conscious environments where synth, dub space and hi‑fi warmth shape mood as much as me…
Después De Llover
On Después De Llover, Eli Wewentxu and Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė turn a first encounter into a shared dreamscape, letting kanklės, txompe and violin wander in post‑rain light where plants, pudus and herons quietly rewrite the rules of folk dialogue.
Everything You Giveaway
On Everything You Giveaway, Pablo’s Eye turn Richard Skinner’s seaside vignette into a drifting meditation on loss and camouflage, where a missing jade earring becomes a quiet parable about hiding what hurts in the very element that once held it.
Bivabippabualukka
On Bivabippabualukka, Sofie Birch turns a spiritually transformative period with her brother Alfred into a bossa‑tinted pocket of joy: playful, childlike songs where intuition, myth and healing spill out like fish from a cup of dreams.
Magic Object
This is not a Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein record; it’s a Play Time record. That’s a subtle but important distinction, for a couple reasons. One, the sound of Magic Object—a polymetric blend of improv and pulse minimalism for saxophone…
Tinderbox
On Tinderbox, Myer U Clark leans into what he calls “musical jank”: loose‑limbed indie‑folk where wiry guitars, Harold‑and‑Maude whimsy and ghosts of English folk and Delta blues wrap around love songs that stumble, blush, and somehow land on their f…
Long Live Brown Wimpenny
On Long Live Brown Wimpenny, Brown Wimpenny turn the folk revival into a street‑level commons: an 11‑piece, multi‑city collective collapsing the gap between stage and floor with roaring, communal takes on songs that belong to everyone and no one.
The Will Come Is Now
On The Will Come Is Now, Ronnie Boykins finally moves from Sun Ra’s bass chair to the centre of the frame, leading a septet through six originals where earthy groove, cosmic harmony and astonishing arco work reveal the band’s quiet architect as a ful…
Trio
On Trio, Lowell Davidson explodes the piano tradition from the inside out, trading clustered storms, sudden lyric breaks and pregnant silence with Gary Peacock and Milford Graves in a one‑off 1965 session that still feels dangerously new.
The Call
On The Call, Henry Grimes refuses the “leader date as reward” narrative, stepping out as a co‑equal melodic force with Perry Robinson and Tom Price in a trio document where free jazz means deep listening, not just full‑bore blaze.
