The Manson Family Sings The Songs Of Charles Manson
Recorded at the infamous Spahn Ranch in 1970, while their leader Charles Manson was facing trial for the murder of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, The Manson Family Sings is a highly disconcerting listen. Beneath the harmonic brilliance and folksy innocence of these campfire-styled recordings are the hallmarks of Manson’s twisted worldview, rendering a dystopian edge to what is otherwise compelling singalongs. Squeaky Frome, Brenda Gold, Gypsy Share and Sandra Blue all feature, with Clem Grogan fron…
Live At San Quentin
A chilling artifact from one of history's most infamous figures emerges from the shadows: Charles Manson – Live At San Quentin, a raw, lo-fi collection of improvised folk songs recorded in 1983 inside the legendary prison. Captured with just an acoustic guitar amid the echoes of flushing toilets and jailhouse chatter, this album delivers Manson's most accessible – and surprisingly poppy – performances ever taped.
Following his 1971 conviction for the brutal murders of seven people, including act…
Megaptera
Original Soundtrack taken the Movie the Musician and the Whale, Megaptera, the scientific name of the humpback whale, is also the title of the new album by French producer and composer Rone. Born from an ambitious film project, the record was largely composed at sea, off the coasts of Brittany and Réunion Island, using a modular synthesizer and melodic sketches developed for an almost unreal proposition: attempting to resonate with whales through music. Following Room With a View—a soundtrack to…
Open the windows and let the spirits in and out
Warm Winters Ltd. welcomes Argentinian, Berlin-based composer Ángeles Rojas with her new piece ‘Open the windows and let the spirits in and out’. Originally commissioned by the Buenos Aires festival Ruido, the work documents Rojas’s closing performance of its 2023 edition.
Performed on a Klais Opus 1912 organ with an ensemble of violin, cello, soprano flute, piccolo, baritone saxophone, trombone and bass clarinet distributed throughout the space, the piece unfolds over 30 minutes. Sustained tone…
Continuum
Late one afternoon, my son and I took a short walk to Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to sit together at Monuments to Motherhood, the elegant looping bronze sculpture by Molly Gochman. At the sculpture, we listened and made a series of recordings of small string and reed instruments. I wanted the ambient sounds of the environment to filter into the recordings so they wouldn’t have the sterile sound of a studio, but rather the warm ambience of the site. I crafted these recordings into a series of loops,…
Blue Hour
Blue Hour is the most recent release from Friday Night Plans, recently signed by Modern Obscure Music. The project marks FNP's shift from their ‘pop’ roots towards a more experimental and ambient sound. Friday Night Plans is pioneered by singer/songwriter Masumi who has collaborated on this project with acclaimed Japanese producer Ena. Together, they have created a collection of songs that represents the quiet introspection and emotions of the AM hours, using improvisation during the production …
Possible Utopias for Jazz Quintet
Sometimes the title of an album tells you everything you need to know. Laurence Pike’s Possible Utopias for Jazz Quintet is like that: The music within represents a search for freedom, potentiality—liberatory strategies that transcend the ego and the solitary, atomized figure.
But in this case, the album title is also a red herring, because there is no jazz quintet here—just Pike, his drums, and his machines, not so much an ersatz ensemble as a purely notional one, a thought experiment equipped …
Atlântico
577 Records announces the release of Atlântico, the new album by Portuguese vocalist and composer Manuel Linhares, arriving June 12, 2026. Shaped between New York and Porto, the record moves through experimental and contemporary currents, marking Linhares’ debut on the label. Atlântico carries the dim, melancholic glow of music born along the shores of the Atlantic. At times it cuts—restless, sharp, and full of forward motion; at others it drifts, steeped in a dense blue, where tones deepen and…
Convergence: Live In China
On Convergence: Live In China, William Hooker and John King turn a Shenzhen stage into a pressure chamber, stretching one unbroken hour of drums and guitar from whispering tension to volcanic release in a charged act of real‑time communication.
Klotski
On Klotski, Lao Dan Quartet throws tenor, bamboo flute and suona into a Chicago crucible, where Mabel Kwan, Joshua Abrams and Michael Zerang keep reshaping time and texture until free jazz feels like a sliding puzzle in permanent motion.
Vol. II
If Vol. 1 was the secret handshake, Vol. II is the full initiation rite. The anonymous Quebec duo's sophomore album landed in April 2026 with the weight of near-impossible expectations - sold-out tours across two continents, a viral KEXP session with millions of views, Pitchfork and Fantano circling the wagons - and the remarkable thing is that Angine De Poitrine didn't flinch. Six new tracks, same formula on paper - Khn's microtonal double-neck and loop pedals, Klek's ferocious yet calculated d…
Vol.1
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…
Ghosts Beneath The Brine
Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle concludes their trilogy on Important Records with an album that confronts the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems. From overfishing to warming and acidifying seas, the group documents the decline of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and other marine life. Following 2024's All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea and 2022 Black Clouds Above The Bows, Ghosts Beneath The Brine is another mournful take on the woes of the natural world. There's ris…
Images of Life
Images of Life is the career-spanning, 3xLP retrospective boxset illuminating the staggering breadth and depth of Detroit's unheralded songwriting genius, Ted Lucas. Disc one "Strange Mysterious Sounds (1965-1970)" highlights Ted's flirtation with psychedelic major label clout via his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards and the Horny Toads. "Rainy Days (1970-1974)" will be the solo acoustic warmth and charm most familiar to folks already aware of Ted's self- titled "OM" album from 1975. "…
Searching
*2026 repress* Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascada …
In a secret room
*300 copies limited edition* In a Secret Room is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD, bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visu…
Paradoxal Innovations
Philatélie proudly unveils Paradoxal Innovations, the groundbreaking new double cassette release by visionary artist Uton, the enigmatic Finnish producer known for his immersive sonic exploration.
Kujodada
This is the mental junkyard of evaporating dreams, disintegrating memories and fading recollections. Industrial Gagaku.
Liskoaivo/Alkeis
In Finnish language Alkeis is not exactly a full word, but functions more like a prefix, meaning rudimentary or primitive. It communicates well the habitus of the crude oscillations that are inspected here: the smallest possible, single-cell organism devoid of thought, driven by instinct.
Liskoaivo is a finnish word for "lizard brain", the region of the brain that regulates our primitive reactions.As sophisticated as oscillators and modular synthesis might be, at the core lies an unexplainable u…
Maja
Philatélie is thrilled to announce the release of Maja, the latest album from the experimental noise project Circle of Shit.
