Upcoming releases
Automaginary + Totality
On Automaginary + Totality, Natural Information Society & Bitchin Bajas meet across two studio sessions separated by a decade, weaving rhythm, gravity and invisible force into organic convergences now united on CD for the first time - separate arcs made whole.
Country Tropics
Released in 2021, Country Tropics was the first offering from Old Saw. At the time, no one was really certain who was behind the lush and textured arrangements of a soon to be beloved ensemble of New England based musicians. 5 years and 4 albums later, the group announced that their fall 2025 double album, The Wringing Cloth, would be their last. An outpouring of affection and adoration for what the group had accomplished followed, with many noting just how unique a space Old Saw occupied with…
Sans Visage
Félicia Atkinson first saw Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face), the 1960 horror film by Georges Franju, when she was a teenager, around the turn of the century. At the time she was frequenting arthouse movie theaters, immersing herself in cinema, and she was encouraged to go by her father. The film made an impact for its iconic imagery and the way Franju draws on the aesthetics of early filmmaking, from its score that relies on stylistic markers typical of the 1940s or 50s to the decision…
Alpha Wave Music
First time reissue of dreamy new age electronic ambient music recorded by the musician/magician Shiho in Japan between the years 1989-1990. This can be seen as a follow up to her legendary album "The Body is a Message of the Universe". The hauntingly beautiful and captivating "Alpha Wave Music” features exotic, floating and shimmering, synthesizer textures with shifting tone colors bringing the listener to a very special magic place. Here Shiho experiment with binaural and alpha wave 1/f fluctua…
New Directions In Music 2
Morton Feldman’s New Directions in Music 2 is one of the true cornerstones of modern classical music. Originally released in 1959, the album captures Feldman at the very beginning of his radical journey into sound, space and silence, developing the sparse, floating language that would go on to influence generations of experimental composers and ambient musicians alike. With cover artwork by abstract painter Philip Guston and clear parallels to the chance-based ideas of John Cage, the record perf…
Tippin' On Through
Tippin' On Through, by tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy, stands as a defining statement from one of West Coast jazz’s most eloquent voices. Recorded and released in 1965, the album pairs Amy’s warm, hard‑bop tenor with soulful grooves, crisp arrangements, and sympathetic ensemble interplay, creating a record that is both accessible and richly musical.
Tippin' On Through showcases Amy’s robust tone, lyrical phrasing, and rhythmic agility. Across the program he moves effortlessly between blues‑inflect…
Components
Components documents vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson’s early emergence as a vital voice in modern jazz. Recorded and issued in 1965, the album presents Hutcherson’s distinctive mallet work and original compositions that bridge post‑bop lyricism and mid‑60s harmonic exploration.
Components balances melodic clarity with adventurous harmony, moving between contemplative ballads, driving post‑bop pieces, and modal excursions that highlight the vibraphone’s textural range within a small‑combo setting.

Poco zucchero
On Poco zucchero, Faust'O sharpens Italian songwriting with new‑wave edge, threading synth‑driven melancholy through eight compact tales of absence and longing, anchored by "Oh! Oh! Oh!", the 1979 Festivalbar hit that made his name stick.
Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986
Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986 was recorded live in Germany on February 15th. The album captures tenor icon Pharoah Sanders and celebrated pianist John Hicks in a moment of profound musical harmony. Sanders, known for his evolution from fierce free-jazz to deeply lyrical spiritualist, plays here with warmth, focus and emotional clarity. Hicks meets him with luminous touch, rich voicings and an intuitive sense of space that elevates every phrase. Together they deliver a beautifully balanced set of Co…
Stories From Another Time 1982-1988
Originally released by Time Capsule in 2021 and long out of print, Stories From Another Time 1982-1988 returns in an upgraded edition following years of demand and rising collector prices on the secondhand market. Widely regarded as a modern cult classic, Mário Rui Silva's visionary recordings blend acoustic folk, cinematic soul, spiritual jazz and saudade-filled Lusophone rhythm into a deeply timeless and universal work that transcends genre and geography.
This new edition features half-speed m…
Live at Pe:rsona
From the edges of a hallucinatory torpor, Rue des Garderies continue their explorations in psychedelia — Femacosmé presents here a new piece recorded live at the Pe:rsona festival, at Domaine des Éveils in the summer of 2025. An adventure guided by blur, the intangible, the impermanent, where layers, voices, sounds, and organic and synthetic echoes resonate, emerge, then fade away — as if to deceive reality, or at least our perception of it. More than two semi-improvised hours in which Rue des G…
La Luce dell'Alba
La Luce dell’Alba is the new LP by Jolly Mare, conceived as an imaginary meeting with Piero Umiliani (on the centenary of his birth) and made possible by access to the original multitrack tapes provided by the Maestro’s family. Recorded between the legendary Sound Workshop in Rome and Oister Studio in Milan, the album weaves rearrangements and new overdubs, creating a suggestive dialogue between past and present. An ambitious, visionary project that renews Umiliani’s sonic legacy through Jolly M…
Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4
Earthball are an avant/noise/rock wrecking ball of a band from Nanaimo, Canada. Rooted in total improvisation, free expression, and a deeply psychedelic sensibility, EarthBall operate on pure instinct. They hurtle onwards in a combustion of spontaneous composition, shooting from the hip, as they fall out of the sky ablaze. The group encompass Isabel Ford (vocals, bass), John Brennan (drums, percussion), Jeremy Van Wyke (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kellan Maclaughlin (guitar, talkbox), and Liam Mur…
Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!
The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The album’s twelve pieces are layered and interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex––moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. An electrifying leap forward for the band’s shared language, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aims to liberate the listener into a spiritual, ecstatic, and…

Rock N’ Roll Station
Huge Tip! A long-overdue return to one of the most singular moments in Nurse With Wound's sprawling discography. Originally issued in 1994, Rock 'n' Roll Station marked a turning point - the album where Steven Stapleton's decades-long engagement with collage, musique concrète, and the outer limits of post-industrial sound first met the hypnotic, rhythm-driven studio sensibility of Colin Potter. What began as a request to rework some of the more percussive sections of 1992's Thunder Perfect Mind …
As I Slip into the Sky
As I Slip Into the Sky reflects a particularly small sliver of time compared to Where the Smoke Goes, with recordings taking place in early 2025, while Johnny Coley was bed-bound in an assisted living facility with multiple sclerosis. Alabama born, Portland based artist Joel Nelson helms the nearly entirely electronic backdrop, posing a new canvas for Johnny, with Buchla music easel bubbling up between Johnny’s lines. This album captures Johnny in a remarkably tender and emotive form. Love and a…
